Joe Burnett, serving as vice president at the investment company Strive, presented a long-term forecast for the first cryptocurrency. He estimates that by the first quarter of 2036, Bitcoin could reach $11 million and total market capitalization would exceed $230 trillion. Such growth, according to the expert, will be a consequence of macroeconomic processes in the coming decade.

A key factor, Burnett calls the confrontation of two trends: technological deflation, caused by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, and the inevitable government response in the form of monetary expansion. Under the fiat system, sustained price declines create risks for debt burdens, so central banks will build liquidity by lowering rates and expanding balance sheets. Excess funds will flow into assets with an unbreakable supply - and Bitcoin, with its fixed emission, becomes a natural beneficiary.

As a result, Burnett believes, the first cryptocurrency would definitively move out of the category of speculative instruments and become a basic element of the financial infrastructure.
