Jameson Lopp, the lead developer of BitGo, a Blockchain security company, calculated that Bitcoin would rank 32nd in the world for its value in circulation. He created an index M1 of the clone currency supply aggregator, similar to That places it in front of Singapore and South Africa, and just behind Finland and the UAE.
By creating a clone of the world's M1 index, the money supply of a country that includes physical money – paper and currency – as well as chequing accounts, are valued , Lopp calculated that Bitcoin would end up very high.
Valuing the narrow money
In the index, the narrow money is used as a measure to determine the value of a currency. The narrow money of a country is essentially every existing coin, taking into account all bank notes, as well as coins, and even digital money stored in accounts banking. The liquid assets held by the central bank are also taken into account
Using this metric and the value of Bitcoin in circulation, Lopp obtains an amount of $ 122,406,125,890 for Bitcoin – its market capitalization at the time of the calculation. However, with its fluctuations, Bitcoin has reached $ 125 billion over the past three days, placing it in 31st place – above Finland.
Explosive growth
Bitcoin continues to climb It has recently reached $ 7,500. This has seen its market capitalization skyrocket and dominate the cryptocurrency market with over 60% dominance.
The Bitcoin price and its market capitalization are decisive factors in its overall value, but these are measures like Lopp & # 39; s. who begins to establish how influential and powerful digital currency is
Later adoption
Because Bitcoin crosses the border between money and assets, it is difficult to classify it. Recently, the decision of CME Group, the largest Exchange owner in the world, to introduce Bitcoin futures by the end of the year, has helped Bitcoin to increase its value as a more traditional investor.
However, its liquid nature also allows it to be considered a currency and is therefore comparable to other countries and their money.
Magic trillion mark
The cryptocurrency market is expected to break the US $ 1 mark in 2018 and, due to Bitcoin's dominance, much of this surge will come from the original cryptocurrency
. impressive, from less than $ 20 billion on January 1 to $ 201 billion on November 5, but only once $ 1 is reached, it will be a major player.
A market capitalization of US $ 1 for Bitcoin ranks comfortably in 8th, ahe ad of Spain, and just under Italy, the lowest ranked country with $ 1 tln in currency narrow.
