Raoul Pal, former executive at Goldman Sachs, has made a bold prediction about the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. According to Pal, a chart that has been accurate over the past five years suggests that these digital assets are on track to have four billion users.

In a recent video update, Pal, who is now the CEO of Real Vision, stated that he believes crypto will surpass one billion users by the end of 2025. His prediction is based on a model that compares the adoption rate of the internet in its early years to the current growth rate of crypto. In 2016, when crypto first reached one million users, the internet had grown by 76% per year. However, crypto has been growing at a rate of 137% per year, with 516 million users compared to the internet’s 187 million at the same stage.

While Pal acknowledges that it is unlikely for crypto to slow down its growth to the same rate as the internet, he still projects that by the end of 2025, there will be 1.1 billion crypto users.

Looking further into the future, Pal envisions half of the world’s population adopting Bitcoin and crypto by 2030. By using the growth trend of internet adoption and assuming that the rate of crypto growth will slow down to match it, Pal predicts that there will be four billion crypto users by 2030, which is half of the world’s population.

Pal acknowledges that these predictions may not be perfect, but he has been using this chart for the past five years, and it has been remarkably accurate so far. Regardless of the exact numbers, Pal finds the potential growth of crypto to be staggering.

It is important to note that these predictions are based on Pal’s analysis, and investors should conduct thorough research before making any high-risk investments in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, or digital assets.
