EOS Founder’s Massive Bitcoin Prediction – Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Tron, Litecoin, Stellar, Cardano
From Bitcoin versus gold to updates from Litecoin’s Charlie Lee and Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
EOS co-founder and CEO Brendan Blumer says he thinks Bitcoin will inevitably become the world’s number one commodity to store value, replacing gold.
Over the next two decades, #Bitcoin will replace #gold as the leading commodity to store value

Gold has roughly $7 trillion outstanding. If Bitcoin were to replace gold and its market cap soared to $7 trillion, each Bitcoin would be worth around $333,333.
After all 21 million BTC have been mined, Blumer says Bitcoin’s transaction fees will increase but additional scaling solutions, like the Lightning Network, will create cheaper options for transacting Bitcoin.
Most of the activity will flow to scalable layer-two solutions, but Bitcoin’s awareness and liquidity will continue to compound
