fidelity predicted $1B bitcoin by 2038.

fidelity's jurrien timmer predicted $1 billion bitcoin by 2038. people laughed, but they missed the math: he wasn't predicting bitcoin's rise, he was predicting the dollar's total collapse. just as $1 in the 1700s became $4 billion in stocks today, the "price" goes up only because the currency melts.

it’s the shrinking ruler effect. if your ruler gets shorter every year, the building looks like it’s growing, but the roof isn't any closer to the stars. $1 billion per coin isn't "moon math"...it’s what happens when the floor of the fiat system drops into the basement while bitcoin’s fixed supply stands firm.

i keep reminding myself: stop measuring your wealth in a currency designed to make savers losers. the question isn't whether bitcoin can hit an absurd number; it's whether the dollar can hold itself together long enough for that number to even matter.

what are you actually measuring?
