Bitcoin’s path to mainstream adoption is creating waves, with predictions of skyrocketing prices and new use cases driving the conversation.

Host of The Wolf Of All Streets, Scott Melker, joined Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE Digital Technologies , to discuss bitcoin’s future, from the potential for a $1 million price tag to the role of mining operations in global economic systems.

"People love to talk about wild price predictions," Melker noted, highlighting that fundamental tailwinds such as institutional adoption and pro-bitcoin sentiment in government could propel prices to unprecedented levels. “We have so many fundamental tailwinds now... It becoming a mainstream asset could make this cycle higher,” he added.

Holmes shared his bullish perspective, drawing attention to bitcoin's smallest unit, the Satoshi, and its potential value. "It makes it very conceivable and easy to digest that bitcoin goes to a million dollars as this adoption takes place,” he explained, comparing bitcoin’s rarity to a Picasso artwork. "As more people fall in love with Picasso, it grows exponentially in price... bitcoin will rise as more people adopt."

Melker pointed out catalysts that could expedite bitcoin’s growth, including the idea of it becoming a reserve asset. "If the United States actually makes bitcoin a reserve asset... that could send it much higher, much faster than anticipated,” he said. Holmes further emphasized the importance of educating the public that bitcoin is divisible, allowing participation without the need to purchase a full coin.

Turning to Hive Digital Technologies' plans, Holmes highlighted their expansion into Paraguay. "We’ve locked up the machines for Paraguay... Their government’s utility company gets paid every month, and they’re getting U.S. dollars,” Holmes stated, emphasizing the economic benefits of bitcoin mining. Looking ahead, he projected Hive’s growth to 15 exahashes by summer, securing 2% of the global bitcoin network.
