At the same time, there&#8217;s Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply cap of 21 million units, enforced by a predetermined inflation rate. This scarcity in the face of fiat currency debasement is the catalyst that cannot be ignored. More dollars chasing a limited number of Bitcoin is a winning combination. <\/p>\n<p>Nothing is guaranteed<\/p>\n<p>Should Bitcoin&#8217;s price triple in five years, it implies an annualized gain of 25%. This should easily outpace the broader stock market. However, it comes up well short of Bitcoin&#8217;s yearly return of 61% in the trailing-five-year period (as of Sept. 9). This forecast makes sense, as the crypto&#8217;s gains going forward should come down from what was achieved in the past. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t expect a smooth ride. Volatility isn&#8217;t going anywhere. In the short term, anything can happen, as Bitcoin&#8217;s price is driven by supply and demand dynamics that are impacted by macro forces. <\/p>\n<p>However, the long-term trend is telling.
