Matrixport投研：BTC熱度已達8%，BTC正經歷邁向大眾的關鍵節點

Over the past decade, BTC has achieved unprecedented growth, with its market value surging from $10 billion in 2014 to $1.2 trillion today. This extraordinary growth also reflects the expansion of the entire crypto asset ecosystem, with the number of BTC users worldwide rising from just 5 million in 2016 to more than 560 million today, of which 61% are male, 39% are female, and 72% are under the age of 34. In addition to the huge wealth created, there is another number worth noting: BTC’s penetration rate has reached 8%.

Technologies that rely on network effects, such as social media and payment platforms, usually need to reach a certain scale of users to fully realize their value. As long as the penetration rate reaches about 8%, the value of the technology to new users will increase exponentially. At this stage, the technology has usually demonstrated its feasibility and reliability, making it more attractive to risk-averse consumers.

Furthermore, as penetration grows, economies of scale drive down costs, making the technology more accessible, which in turn drives even greater growth. This phase is often referred to as “crossing the chasm,” marking the transition of a technology from niche to mainstream.

In every market cycle, the increase in popularity drives the development of BTC, and this time is no exception. Although BTC has returned to the 2021 all-time high of $68,300 and is hovering at this price, once this price is broken, there will be a sharp rise.

BTC’s early adopters have already been handsomely rewarded, and with major TradFi players like BlackRock popularizing BTC to millions of investors, 2025 could be the year for Bitcoin’s adoption.

BTC and the entire crypto asset market are reaching a critical juncture, with BTC penetration possibly exceeding 8% in 2025. For many technologies in history, this node is an important turning point in their life cycle, a transition from niche to mass. Whether it is personal computers, smartphones, social media or electric vehicles, driven by network effects, increased feasibility and reduced costs, adoption will generally accelerate after penetration exceeds 8%.

Original article by Felipe Montealegre Original translation: Luffy, Foresight News Once, a friend and I were discussing Robert Kennedys endorsement of Trump, and one participant confidently declared that Trumps chances of winning had increased by 2% because Polymarket predicted so. This was a good observation because the event happened quickly and there wasnt much other news to move the market. If Polymarket was an efficient market, this statement would seem to be tenable. The problem is that Polymarket is still an inefficient emerging market that cannot predict small changes in the probability of an event ( The way efficient markets work is that a large number of investors trade based on events. If you think Robert Kennedys endorsement will increase Trumps odds by 10%, you will buy with leverage to…
