Bitcoin will overtake the market cap of gold. When this happens, 1 Bitcoin will be worth $1.1M. Plan accordingly.

Dan Held dropped a spicy tweet: if Bitcoin’s market cap equals gold’s $23 trillion, each BTC hits about $1.15M. He even showed the math. Simple, bold, and memorable. That’s why it blew up.

Why it works

  • Anchoring: Ties Bitcoin’s potential to something people already understand—gold.
  • Simplicity: One equation, one punchline. Everyone can follow it.
  • Future casting: Invites readers to imagine being rich, or too late.
  • Authority signal: Posting real math gives confidence and credibility.

Real world examples

  • Tesla compared early EV adoption to early smartphone adoption.
  • Coinbase uses “if you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2012…” posts to show growth.
  • Real estate ads frame pricing as “cheaper than a daily coffee.” Same math trick—different emotion.
