I believe 16 trillion is probably underhanded too. If BTC receives the recognition and adoption on the kind of level that is beginning to appear, then it is possible BTC makes a play for much higher.
I mean no one knows for sure where the MC will level out, but the signs are pointing to very soon 100k is going to be a distant memory. On leverage alone, at the rate of BTC leaving exchanges, prior to countries buying in for reserves, we will need a much higher priced BTC to cover leverage volume within a year or 18 months from now. Just today alone another -8400 BTC from all exchanges and just 2.254 million left.
We can assume many countries and entities are already aquiring Bitcoin now under the radar as to not spook the market.
Exciting times ahead.
What happens when there is no more coins left and everyone is just holding them?
