Willy Woo: Bitcoin Still Has Room to Grow, Predicts Compound Annual Growth Rate to Stabilize at 8% in 15-20 Years

Famous cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo posted on social media stating, "Bitcoin has long passed the phase of several-fold annual growth seen in 2017. 2020 was a key year for Bitcoin's 'institutionalization,' with corporations and sovereign entities beginning to hoard Bitcoin. The compound annual growth rate has decreased from over 100% to 30 to 40%. Bitcoin is now being traded as the newest macro asset class in 150 years, and it will continue to absorb global capital until some 'equilibrium point' is reached."

Considering that long-term monetary expansion is around 5% and GDP growth is 3%, I believe Bitcoin's ultimate compound annual growth rate will stabilize at around 8%. It may take another 15 to 20 years before reaching the 'equilibrium point.' There are hardly any other publicly investable assets that can match Bitcoin's long-term performance."

There has only been one significant long liquidation event during the pullback when the Bitcoin price touched the $80,000 level. The analyst pointed out that this shift in sentiment indicates that shorts have become more risk-averse, which is usually considered a bullish sign.
