The system is broken<\/p>\n
The U.S. currently has a monster debt burden that’s nearing $40 trillion. This figure, along with the money supply<\/a>, has soared in recent decades. Operating with huge fiscal deficits isn’t helping the situation. <\/p>\n There’s an ever-increasing amount of debt and dollars flooding the system, both domestically and in other countries. At the same time, there’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 Nothing is guaranteed<\/p>\n Should Bitcoin’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’s yearly return of 61% in the trailing-five-year period (as of Sept. 9). This forecast makes sense, as the crypto’s gains going forward should come down from what was achieved in the past. <\/p>\n Don’t expect a smooth ride. Volatility isn’t going anywhere. In the short term, anything can happen, as Bitcoin’s price is driven by supply and demand dynamics that are impacted by macro forces. <\/p>\n However, the long-term trend is telling. Bitcoin has significantly raised one’s purchasing power<\/a> over time. It would be a shock if this didn’t continue, with a tripling of the digital asset’s price certainly in the realm of possibilities. <\/p>\n Should you invest $1,000 in Bitcoin right now?<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in Bitcoin, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks<\/a> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Bitcoin wasn\u2019t one of them.
