Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo has reignited interest in an iconic prediction made by Hal Finney 16 years ago.
In a recent tweet, Rizzo shared a remarkable email from Finney, sent on Jan. 10, 2009, as he contemplated how to value Bitcoin, which was then priced at $0.
✨ Hal Finney predicting $10 million #Bitcoin when the price was $0, exactly 16 years ago

Finney, a computer scientist, famously received the first Bitcoin transaction and tweeted about Bitcoin on Jan. 11, 2009. He is also a leading contender to be Satoshi despite denying it until his death in 2014. Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity remains a mystery to this day.
Finney's email delves into a thought experiment to determine Bitcoin's potential value if it becomes the world's dominant payment system.
According to his calculations, factoring in當時Bitcoin的上限為 2000 萬枚,如果比特幣真的成功成為全球主要支付貨幣,那麼比特幣的總價值就等於全世界財富的總價值。
當時我找到的全世界家庭財富總估計值在 100 兆至 300 兆美元之間,而比特幣的上限為 2000 萬枚,這樣算下來每枚比特幣的價值大約為 1000 万美元。 the當時Bitcoin的上限為 2000 萬枚, if the cryptocurrency became the world's dominant payment system, its total value "should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world."
Extending this logic, and considering當時Bitcoin的上限為 2000 萬枚, Finney arrived at a value of $10 million per Bitcoin.
"As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world," Finney wrote in the email Rizzo shared.
"Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion."
"With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million."
Finney's prediction continues to inspire long-term faith in Bitcoin, despite its current price of $93,726, which is far from his $10 million target.
