the error in this discussion is always the same that cyber guruīs argumenst are: even the printed money is just a believe. but that is completely wrong.
if you wipe out the value of real money HOW can you give a value to crypto currencies?
if the real money would not have value the crypto currencies are just data and nothing else.

so crypto CAN NOT exist without the value of this real money.

and now we are at the REAL point.

if you add the value of all existing real money (what is at the moment at around 126 trillion) and add to that the value of ALL cyber currencies and assume that bitcoin will possible not be limited on 21 million anymore you reach a number of money what is much higher as the value of all goods produced in the world.

so what happens when there is more money in the market as goods?

correct ! the money will lose itīs value because it is REPRESENTING the value of production and services.
this number of production and services MUST be balanced with the value of existing money. and THERE is the thinking error.

with other words: it IS indeed possible that bitcoin reaches this 100.000 or even more but it can happen that you can buy a hot dog with french fries for this 100 k.
I pay my bills, order my delivery foods, buy domains and withdraw cash with Bitcoin

some people here are not very smart, or lack learning, researching, or basic common senses.
