With global wealth assessed at around 440T, immediate hyperbitcoinization would take us to about 21M USD per coin in todays real dollar - or around 0.20 USD per sat.

If we get a 1 dollar Satoshi (or 100M per coin) due to massive devaluation in the dollar it kind of missed the point because this obscured value in real terms.

However, if you follow the #[2]​ thesis, we could get to 100M USD per coin (or more) in today’s real terms through parabolic acceleration of efficiency and the collapse of marginal cost of production basically everywhere.

This is better vision of the 1 dollar Satoshi in my mind however, I think by that time we would no longer be thinking in dollars. Dollars terms would be abandoned / forgotten and a single Sat would just buy the same (of more!) than a single dollar can buy today.

In terms of “right around the corner” I think the Booth vision - which is how I really think about hyperbitcoinization - is maybe 15-20 years off to spread and scale globally. Though, of course such a timeline can only be lived, never known in advance.
