According to the company’s estimates, today less than half a million people \"own and use bitcoin widely today,\" and if that number turns into a million, the price will get to USD 25,000. \"<a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&t=all&q=Cryptocurrencies\" title=\"#Cryptocurrencies\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#Cryptocurrencies</a> are network value assets, meaning, the more people that hold it, the greater the value. In fact, it’s a log function, right? So if you double the users, you get a quadrupling of value. And to go to USD 25,000, you essentially need a 4x rise – a little bit less than that – which means you need to double the number of people who hold bitcoin,” Lee explained. <br />Meanwhile, European digital asset management company, CoinShares Group, in their recent report estimated that, a year ago, at least 139 million user accounts have been created at crypto service providers, representing an estimated minimum of 35 million ID-verified users. <br />In either case, Lee said that the long-term future of Bitcoin is “very bullish.” It’s the early days for digital assets, he explains, and over time it will become institutional and an asset class. “Once we hit that,” says Lee, “it’s actually another hockey stick [-like price rise].” He explained that what we’re seeing here is a log / utility function, and as an example for comparison he took the price return of the FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google) stocks since their IPOs (initial public offerings). “70% of the return is explained by the growth of the global internet in that period of time,” he says, concluding that “it was a log function of the internet’s growth, and that’s how cryptocurrencies are going to work.”",

"content": "\n The Road to USD 25K is 'Easy': Double Bitcoin Users, says Tom Lee \nTo hit USD 25,000 per #bitcoin (BTC), we need to find a way to double the current number of active #BTC users, according to co-founder and the Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, Tom Lee. \nIn an interview with CNBC today, Lee argued that BTC will hit USD 25,000 by 2022, which is the number Fundstrat established two years ago as a five-year view for the coin. “It’s quite easy to achieve,” says the analyst. According to the company’s estimates, today less than half a million people \"own and use bitcoin widely today,\" and if that number turns into a million, the price will get to USD 25,000. \"#Cryptocurrencies are network value assets, meaning, the more people that hold it, the greater the value. In fact, it’s a log function, right? So if you double the users, you get a quadrupling of value. And to go to USD 25,000, you essentially need a 4x rise – a little bit less than that – which means you need to double the number of people who hold bitcoin,” Lee explained. \nMeanwhile, European digital asset management company, CoinShares Group, in their recent report estimated that, a year ago, at least 139 million user accounts have been created at crypto service providers, representing an estimated minimum of 35 million ID-verified users. \nIn either case, Lee said that the long-term future of Bitcoin is “very bullish.” It’s the early days for digital assets, he explains, and over time it will become institutional and an asset class. “Once we hit that,” says Lee, “it’s actually another hockey stick [-like price rise].” He explained that what we’re seeing here is a log / utility function, and as an example for comparison he took the price return of the FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google) stocks since their IPOs (initial public offerings). “70% of the return is explained by the growth of the global internet in that period of time,” he says, concluding that “it was a log function of the internet’s growth, and that’s how cryptocurrencies are going to work.”",

Still, he admits that no cases have been filed so far, stating, “We haven’t had any public cases filed, but we do have open cases in inventory.” Earlier this week, Suzanne Sinno, an attorney in the IRS Office of the Associate Chief Counsel, clarified that cryptocurrencies have never been eligible for like-kind tax exemption, even before the 2017 tax overhaul.
