This scarcity, coupled with increasing demand, suggests that current estimations of Bitcoin's future price might be extremely conservative.

Bitcoinโ€™s current location on its adoption curve shows that itโ€™s on its way to becoming a predominant store of value and medium of exchange, free from censorship, debasement, and top-down manipulation.
