What I’m reading is it’s already begun but people will start selling off Gold and Silver to buy Bitcoin once the bull run prices start really sky rocketing (this or another cycle) as they will have FOMO (fear of missing out) and can’t resist the exchange for a chance at a perceived lottery ticket and keeping up with the Jones’s.
Time will tell.
That is the argument, essentially, in a nutshell.

And in the short-term, it is valid and self-fulfilling. But only for so long. Momentum exists until it does not. And momentum goes both ways.

For continued growth, it needs much more than momentum. It needs to justify its price - at each and every price point. And the challenge with that is that, as the price rises, the viability of substitutes increases.
