I meant if crypto can get to a ridiculous market cap, let's say 10tn, then it is more down to global liquidity, therefore crazy inflation, not talking about KO balance sheet or anything.Price of a can of coke is not correlated to the market cap of Coca Cola. And the Cocoa rally is influenced by lower production in West Africa among other factors. Why would the hypothetical limit of cryptocurrencies' aggregate marketcap be likened to golds current market cap? That makes no sense to me.
Really no one knows what will happen in the markets. No one can predict.
I like gold as ONE logic because I think true use case for crypto outside of store/ hedge of wealth, is very very small, same as gold.
So if we assume 90% of all the gold processed to date is held today as a store of wealth / hedge, then in an extreme case crypto can match gold so can warrant a similar value.
However I am ignoring there is possibly more gold yet to mine than already mined, that might only become viable as tech improves and/or gold price reaches a level that warrants complicated expensive mining
