Jeff Booth says a $1 million Bitcoin price target is thinking too small. Here is why valuing Bitcoin in debased fiat currency uses a rigged system.
Is a $1 million Bitcoin price target thinking too small? Jeff Booth thinks so, and he explains why valuing Bitcoin in dollars means pricing it from a game that’s rigged by debasement. He argues that Bitcoin isn’t just a coin or an asset, but the beginning of a decentralized, secure, and private protocol stack that will look a lot like the internet. In his view, Bitcoin is evidence of the first free market that has ever existed.

Asanat Analysis — Why it matters
Booth's framing—that $1M BTC underestimates Bitcoin's value proposition—rests on a specific thesis: that fiat currency debasement will accelerate faster than markets currently price in, making Bitcoin's fixed supply increasingly valuable as a store of wealth. This reflects a deflationary narrative common among Bitcoin maximalists, contrasting with mainstream macro models that assume central banks will maintain relative stability. The argument hinges on whether monetary policy trajectories (particularly post-pandemic stimulus effects) will validate this apocalyptic view of fiat collapse.
Historically, seven-figure Bitcoin price targets have emerged during each cycle's euphoria phases, then faced recalibration during bear markets. What distinguishes current discourse: institutional adoption and ETF inflows have created new price discovery mechanisms independent of retail speculation. However, such arguments also signal ecosystem risk—they anchor investor psychology to outcomes divorced from near-term fundamentals (adoption rates, transaction throughput, regulatory clarity), potentially distorting capital allocation within crypto. The $1M anchor itself becomes a social consensus tool rather than a valuation metric.
