Bitcoin to $1M by 2030 'mathematically impossible,' says Markus Thielen

Reaching a price of $1 million per coin by 2030 is mathematically impossible for Bitcoin, according to analyst Markus Thielen. Thielen asserts that the sheer volume of capital inflows—trillions of dollars—required to achieve such a valuation is not feasible within the stated timeframe, or potentially ever.

The assessment challenges prevailing ultra-bullish forecasts circulating among digital asset proponents. Thielen's analysis highlights the structural and macroeconomic limits of capital allocation into the cryptocurrency market, casting doubt on the exponential growth trajectories often cited by market optimists.
