Mike McGlone, senior commodity economist at Bloomberg Intelligence, offered his outlook for bitcoin this week. Citing growing demand, increased adoption and regulation, he tweeted Wednesday:

Bitcoin may be entering an inexorable phase of its migration to the mainstream, and at a relatively low price.

In another tweet, he noted the decline in bitcoin supply, adding, “The definable declining supply of bitcoin is unprecedented on a global scale, so prices should continue to rise over time unless something unlikely reverses the demand and adoption trends, given the laws of supply and demand.“

He also tweeted:

Bitcoin could be entering an unstoppable maturation phase.

The strategist elaborated:”The fact that bitcoin did not exist in October 2007, when WTI crude oil first reached its current level of $84 per barrel, may indicate the appreciation advantage of the nascent technology.“

“In a rapidly digitizing world, the crypto benchmark is gaining value as a unique alternative asset and global collateral that is nobody’s responsibility“, Mike McGlone continues.

“It makes sense that one of the best-performing assets of the past decade would fall with the most aggressive Fed tightening in about 40 years, but rising demand and adoption, falling supply, and a steep relative price discount indicate that the risk/reward is tilting favorably“, opined the Bloomberg Intelligence economist, concluding:

A return to its propensity to outperform most assets may be only a matter of time as mainstream adoption progresses and adaptive changes in U.S. accounting standards give it a boost.
