Path to $350,000 Per BTC — Parity with Gold?

  • Gold: $24T, BTC: $2.4T — gold valued at 10x Bitcoin.

  • “If Bitcoin is revalued in the next year to even think 30% of gold’s value, we’re looking at approximately $350,000 per Bitcoin.” — JV quoting @thebitcointtherapist (29:30)

• Historic Patterns:

  • When gold hits new all-time-highs, BTC tends to lag, then outperform over 6–12 months.

  • “Pretty lil’ bitty going up forever, Laura. Prove me otherwise.” — JV (31:26)
