Bitcoin is on the verge of a massive breakthrough, according to Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and co-managing partner of SkyBridge Capital. In a recent interview with CNBC, Scaramucci said that Bitcoin could “easily” reach a $15 trillion market cap in the next decade, surpassing the combined value of gold and the S&P 500.
Scaramucci, who is also a former White House communications director, has been a vocal advocate of Bitcoin since launching a Bitcoin fund in December 2020. He believes that Bitcoin is the best way to store value in the digital age, and that more institutional investors will flock to the cryptocurrency as they realize its potential.
He said that Bitcoin is still in its early stages of adoption, and that it will benefit from the network effect as more people use it. He compared Bitcoin to Amazon, which started as an online bookstore and expanded into a global e-commerce giant. He said that Bitcoin will similarly evolve and innovate over time, and that it will become more user-friendly and accessible.

Scaramucci also dismissed the common criticisms of Bitcoin, such as its volatility, environmental impact, and regulatory uncertainty. He said that Bitcoin’s volatility is a natural consequence of its rapid growth, and that it will stabilize as the market matures. He said that Bitcoin’s environmental impact is overstated, and that it will become more energy efficient as it adopts renewable sources of power. He said that Bitcoin’s regulatory uncertainty is a temporary hurdle, and that it will eventually gain acceptance from governments and central banks.
He concluded by saying that Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology that will change the world for the better. He said that Bitcoin is not only a financial asset, but also a social movement that empowers people and promotes freedom. He said that Bitcoin is the future of money, and that he is confident that it will reach a $15 trillion market cap in the next 10 years.
