The post Hold 0.01 Bitcoin? You Might Own a Piece of Everything, Says Analyst appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Can a tiny slice of Bitcoin give you a share in the world’s wealth forever?
Crypto analyst and author of “The Bitcoin Thesis”, Cole Walmsley, says yes.
In a widely shared tweet, Walmsley calls Bitcoin “the greatest asymmetric opportunity in human history,” arguing that even 0.01 BTC, worth about $1,195 today, could be enough to secure your long-term stake in a world that’s shifting toward a Bitcoin standard.
The Big Idea: A World Priced in Bitcoin
Walmsley describes what he calls a coming “monetary singularity”, which is a future where everything, from goods and services to land and technology, is priced in Bitcoin.
He says Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million means that owning any amount of it today locks in a permanent share of global value.
“With 0.01 BTC in your possession, you own 1/2,100,000,000 of everything that exists,” he writes. “Not just today, but forever.”
Here’s the Math Behind the Claim
Walmsley points to an estimated $1 quadrillion in total global value. If all of it were eventually priced in BTC, your 0.01 BTC stake would equal roughly $476,190.
That’s a potential upside of nearly 400x from today’s price. And that’s just based on existing global wealth, not including future growth!
So Why Is It “Asymmetric”?
The core of Walmsley’s argument is simple: Bitcoin has limited downside and unlimited upside. Your potential loss is the money you invest. Your potential gain? He argues it could be infinite if Bitcoin becomes the base layer of global money.
“With Bitcoin, your downside is whatever money you put into it. Your upside is infinity,” he says.
Walmsley urges people to buy at least a “little” Bitcoin, just in case it works out. You could have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
