Bitcoin to $1 Million? This Guy Thinks So (And He’s Not High)

So, Matt Hougan, the Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise Asset Management, went on a podcast and basically said Bitcoin is going to be the Beyoncé of assets by 2029. 🚀 According to him, BTC isn’t just going to outshine gold—it’s going to hit $1 million per coin. Yeah, you read that right. A million. Like, “I could buy a private island but I’ll just HODL instead” kind of million.

Hougan’s reasoning? Institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and the fact that Bitcoin’s supply is tighter than my jeans after Thanksgiving. 🦃 He’s all like, “Spot Bitcoin ETFs? Oh, they’re a big deal.” Apparently, these ETFs pulled in $37 billion in their first year, which is more than the most successful ETF ever. (Cue the mic drop.)

But wait, there’s more! Hougan says most financial advisors in the U.S. can’t even talk about Bitcoin without breaking into a cold sweat. Once they get over their crypto-phobia, he expects a tidal wave of money to flood in. 🌊 And let’s not forget BlackRock, the big kahuna of finance, who’s now in the Bitcoin game. Hougan’s like, “Competition is great! It’s driving fees down to ‘ramen noodle budget’ levels.” 🍜

Oh, and stablecoins? Hougan calls them the “killer app” of crypto, which is a fancy way of saying they’re going to make sending money across borders as easy as ordering a pizza. 🍕 He predicts the stablecoin market will hit trillions, assuming regulators don’t mess it up. (Spoiler: They probably will.)

But here’s the kicker: Hougan thinks Bitcoin is the ultimate hedge against economic chaos. Whether it’s inflation, deflation, or the apocalypse, Bitcoin’s got your back. 💪 He’s even seeing big clients figuring out ways to earn yield on their Bitcoin without selling it. Because, you know, why sell when you can just get richer? 🤑

In conclusion, Hougan’s betting big on Bitcoin’s limited supply and growing demand. He’s convinced it’s going to crush gold and hit $1 million by 2029. And honestly, if he’s right, I’m going to need a bigger wallet. 👜

P.S. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $84,138. But hey, what’s a few thousand dollars between friends? 🤷‍♀️
