- Bitcoin is still in its early stages, with experts predicting massive returns over the next 20 to 30 years.
- Bitcoin adoption by institutions and wealthy investors could unleash a surge of capital, driving long-term price growth.
Bitcoin is just getting started. Fred Krueger, a Wall Street veteran and mathematician, believes the cryptocurrency will deliver “massively high returns” for the next 20 to 30 years. Speaking on the Jamie Tree podcast, Krueger emphasized how early investors still are.
“We’re super early. We’re very, very early,” he said. “This is a 20-year journey, maybe even 30.”
Bitcoin vs. Tech Giants
Krueger compared Bitcoin’s potential to tech giants like Apple and Amazon. Early investors in these companies saw massive gains long after initial surges.
“I bought Apple in 2008 when the iPhone launched. The stock doubled, then doubled again. I thought I was done. But it went up 50 times after that,” he shared.
Krueger believes Bitcoin could follow a similar path. His advice? Extend your investment horizon. “Give it a decade,” he urged.
Institutional Money: The Next Big Wave
Retail investors drove past Bitcoin bull runs. But Krueger sees the future led by institutions and wealthy individuals.
“If millionaires and billionaires increase Bitcoin exposure from 0.01% to 2%, it’ll unleash an avalanche of capital,” he explained. Trillions of dollars currently sit in real estate, bonds, and overpriced stocks. A small shift could fuel significant Bitcoin demand.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs: A Game Changer
The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, like BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, simplifies access. Investors no longer need complex crypto exchanges or custody solutions.
“They just need to allocate a small amount into IBIT or FBTC,” Krueger noted. “Those guys are going to clean up.”
It’s Not Too Late
Many fear they missed the BTC boom. Krueger disagrees.
“You’re very, very early. Less than 1% of wealthy people own Bitcoin,” he stated. “There are still plenty of gains ahead.”
