Fidelity predicts Bitcoin price to reach $1 million by 2024
Fidelity Digital Assets validates a model that predicts Bitcoin price at $1 million by 2024 because of the stock-to-flow ratio. Fidelity President has also Files For New Bitcoin Fund
The trillion-dollar asset manager Fidelity is scrutinizing a popular and controversial Bitcoin price model.
A recent report from Fidelity Digital Assets analyzes the stock-to-flow ratio, which divides the amount of a commodity in circulation by the amount mined per year.
Using the correlation between an asset’s price and its S2F ratio, the pseudonymous crypto analyst PlanB has predicted that Bitcoin’s value will soar to $1 million by 2029.
Although there is a fierce debate on whether the stock-to-flow ratio is an accurate way to forecast Bitcoin’s trajectory, Fidelity says the model is a credible tool for analyzing scarce assets. The firm says historically, the metric is a sound way to judge whether a given commodity will become a successful store of value.

Oil went to zero when everyone said Bitcoin should have been
Everyone thought Bitcoin was supposed to go to zero. Instead, we saw Oil go into negative territory for the first time in history. I guess bitcoin was a good hedge against oil at this time who would have thought.
It’s sad to see toilet paper is worth more than oil these days.
Dan Peña said Bitcoin is going to Zero a year ago. I wonder if he saw the price of oil go into negative territory as well. On the other hand, If Dan knows Satoshi himself I assume he is talking to the wrong Satoshi Nakamoto aka Craig Wright. In ending I have always said in the past do what smart money does not what they say because actions speak louder than words in my book and if Bitcoin plummets smart money will pick it up on the cheap.

Bitcoin Halving 2020
What is a block halving event?
As part of Bitcoin’s coin issuance, miners are rewarded a certain amount of bitcoins whenever a block is produced (approximately every 10 minutes). When Bitcoin first started, 50 Bitcoins per block were given as a reward to miners. After every 210,000 blocks are mined (approximately every 4 years), the block reward halves and will keep on halving until the block reward per block becomes 0 (approximately by year 2140). As of now, the block reward is 12.5 coins per block and will decrease to 6.25 coins per block post halving.
Why was this done?
Bitcoin was designed as a deflationary currency. Like gold, the premise is that over time, the issuance of bitcoins will decrease and thus become scarcer over time. As bitcoins become scarcer and if demand for them increases over time, Bitcoin can be used as a hedge against inflation as the price, guided by price equilibrium is bound to increase. On the flip side, fiat currencies (like the US dollar), inflate over time as its monetary supply increases, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. This is known as monetary debasement by inflation. A simple example would be to compare housing prices decades ago to now and you’ll notice that they’ve increased over time!
Predictable monetary supply
Since we know Bitcoin’s issuance over time, people can rely on programmed/controlled supply. This is helpful to understand what the current inflation rate of Bitcoin is, what the future inflation rate will be at a specific point in time, how many Bitcoins are in circulation and how many remain left to be mined.
Who controls the issuance of Bitcoin?
The network itself controls the issuance of Bitcoins, derived by consensus through all Bitcoin participants. Ever since Bitcoin was first designed, the following consensus rules exist to this day:
- 21,000,000 Bitcoins to ever be produced
- Target of 10-minute block intervals
- Halving event occurring every 210,000 blocks (approximately every 4 years)
- Block reward which starts at 50 and halves continually every halving event until it reaches 0 (approximately by year 2140)
Any change to these parameters requires all Bitcoin participants to agree by consensus to approve the change.
Past halving event dates
The first halving event occurred on the 29th of November, 2012 at block height 210,000. The second halving event occurred on the 10th of July, 2016 at block height 420,000.
Past halving price performance
It is always a debate on what Bitcoin will do in terms of pricing for a halving event. Some people believe that the halving is already priced in by the market and thus there’s no expectation for the price to do anything. Others believe that due to price equilibrium, a halving of supply should cause an increase in price if demand for Bitcoins is equal or greater than what it was before the halving event. Below is a chart showing past price performance of the two halving events:
