Many newcomers to Bitcoin often regret missing its earlier price surges and wonder if they’ve missed the opportunity entirely. However, the truth is, they are still among the early adopters.
Blessed Friday!
Sixteen years after Bitcoin’s inception and with its price surpassing $100,000, it’s easy to assume its major growth phase is over. This perception leads some to believe that Bitcoin has reached the final stage of its evolution, and that the opportunity has passed.
Yet, an analysis of Bitcoin's trajectory reveals a different reality: Bitcoin is still in the early stages of its journey and has yet to move beyond its initial phases of growth and adoption.
Here are three key facts about Bitcoin's adoption at the $100,000 mark:
🥇 1. Bitcoin’s Market Share
Bitcoin’s market capitalization has surpassed significant economic benchmarks, outperforming assets like silver and major corporations such as Saudi Aramco and Meta (Facebook). Despite this, Bitcoin’s share in the global financial landscape remains modest.
Consider these figures:
0.2% of the total value of global assets (real estate, gold, stocks, currencies, and government bonds).
1.3% of global currency value, while 98.7% remains tied to inflation-prone fiat currencies.
0.45% of the global real estate market, 5% of stock markets, and 10% of gold.
While opinions differ on Bitcoin's fair value, one thing is certain: these percentages won’t remain low for long.
🥈 2. Investment Portfolios
Bitcoin is still so young that global companies are only beginning to recognize its importance in investment portfolios—and even then, their allocations remain conservative.
Here’s what some leading investment firms suggest:
BlackRock: Allocate 2% to Bitcoin—equivalent to a $18 trillion market cap or $900,000 per Bitcoin.
Fidelity: Recommend 3%—a $27 trillion market cap or $1.28 million per Bitcoin.
Ark Invest: Advocate for 19%—a $175 trillion market cap or $8.3 million per Bitcoin.
Even modest allocations like 5% from global financial institutions would channel trillions into a market currently valued at just $2 trillion.
🥉 3. Joining the World’s Wealthiest 1%
It’s said that you need $13.7 million to join the world’s top 1%, though exact figures may vary. But what about Bitcoin? How much do you need to own to be in the top 1% globally?
With around 8 billion people on Earth and only 21 million Bitcoins ever existing:
Dividing these among the top 1% (82 million people) results in just 0.25 BTC per person.
Owning 0.25 BTC places you in the top 1%, regardless of price increases or adoption rates—thanks to Bitcoin’s absolute scarcity capped at 21 million coins.
At current prices, this means joining the top 1% requires less than $25,000.
💭So Has the Bitcoin Train Left?
No matter how you look at the numbers, it’s clear that Bitcoin is still in its early adoption stages. If you share the belief that Bitcoin will become the world’s primary store of value, it only makes sense for people to save their wealth in it.
Many newcomers feel regret for missing past price rises and wonder if they’ve missed their chance—but in reality, they are still among the first arrivals.

The immense opportunity with #Bitcoin doesn’t just stem from its superiority but from the fact that most people have yet to realize this advantage. In other words, there’s a unique opportunity in asymmetric knowledge.

The 1-2% #bitcoin adoption number never really made sense to me… allegedly 75-150 million people adopted some type of bitcoin strategy, a large portion of them would have been involved before 2020… so the claim is something like what 25-50+ million people were buying bitcoin when the price was between $1000-7000usd and each person couldn’t afford half a coin? I consider adoption those who use bitcoin as a savings tool, not speculative traders. I mean think about it, 150 million people buying $100 per week would be $15,000,000,000 in purchasing power or 60B per month. When we hit 1-2% adoption of Bitcoin as a savings strategy, the price surely has to go beyond being able to buy it for fiat. 150 million people and 21,000,000 coins… adoption of Bitcoin as a savings strategy is probably like 0.01%. The Bitcoin “OGs” hate to say it, but the math tells us we are much earlier in the adoption stage than people think. I would suggest this is a good thing on all fronts. Stay humble, stack sats. 🫡

#bitcoin $82,881
#eth $1,793
#sol $115
THERE IS NO SECOND BEST!
Checkmate would probably say something like, “the longer we consolidate and coil the bigger the up swing will be,” in a very convincing Australian accent. Stay humble, stack sats. #bitcoin
I’ve got the most people thinking I’m retarded part covered… I guess it’s time to start grinding!
Do not tell this to Craig Wright.
1-2 years ago: “Quick, we need to rush in BIPs or else Bitcoin will be dead because the block space fees are too high!!”
Today: “Quick, if we don’t get the block space fees high then bitcoin will be dead!!”
Reality: spam deterrent working exactly as intended. 🫡
0.22 #bitcoin makes you a whale. That’s just how far in the future #nostr is compared to everywhere else.
Posting on Twitter about decentralization and censorship-resistant networks be like…
#nostr #meme #memestr
Owning that significant of % of the network is out of reach… you can save $1 worth of bitcoin per week if that’s what your budget affords. Bitcoin is for anyone who wants it or needs it.
Okay this one is for the #nostr #meme treasury… nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqnz0fd0 tried to warn us. At least they got their blue checks.
Will you still have your #bitcoin in 8 years? I know I will.

Playing devil’s advocate here… I took the average population growth rate AI suggested (2.7%) and starting at 15.3M people over15 years would be 6,220,516 new births. Rough math of course but new births surely need to be factored in. No doubt the mossad and Israel’s actions are vile and disgusting.
Who is here to slay fiat?

So, what’s it thinking? 👀😂
Don’t let others confuse study and discipline with luck. #Bitcoin
