[Discussion] Is 0.01 BTC really “useless”? Let’s break it down.
I came across a comment saying:
“0.01 is useless, even 0.1 is. Sure BTC could go to $1M but 0.01 would only net you $10k … even 0.1 would only be $100k – not even close to real wealth. Market cap matters, $100M/BTC would mean $2 quadrillion, ~19x global wealth, totally delusional.”
Here are my thoughts:
- 0.01 or 0.1 BTC being “useless”
Depends on perspective. • At $1M/BTC, 0.01 = $10k, 0.1 = $100k. • That may not be generational wealth but for most people thats a HUGE sum. Calling it “useless” ignores how significant that would be for everyday investors.
Market cap does matter • $1M/BTC × ~19M coins = ~$19T market cap. • Thats big but not impossible as gold market cap is ~$13T. • $100M/BTC would mean ~$2 quadrillion, which is unrealistic without FIAT hyperinflation.
Purchasing power & inflation If BTC ever hits crazy numbers like $100M, it might not mean you’re “rich.” It could mean FIAT collapsed and everything costs more in FIAT terms.
My takeaway: 1. 0.01 or 0.1 BTC is not useless, it’s just not “get rich forever” money. 2. $1M/BTC is ambitious but possible if BTC truly becomes digital gold. 3. $100M/BTC is fantasy unless we’re talking dollar collapse. 4. The real value of Bitcoin is less about moon prices and more about owning scarce digital property that hedges against fiat debasement.
What do you think? Is 0.1 BTC meaningful in the long run, or does it really take whole coins to matter?
