Bitcoin in everyones retirement account, how big is the opportunity?

Unlocking a new market with the Bitcoin ETFs

The introduction of true Bitcoin ETFs in the US is another big step on the adoption curve.

Bitcoin ETFs are not going to attract trillions of dollars of inflow overnight. But the important thing is that they unlock Bitcoin to a much bigger pool of investors. 

And as part of this larger pool of investors you have regular folks who keep their savings in retirement accounts.Those people might fall more in the late majority hodlers but they are a real trillion dollars unlock.

So how big is the opportunity of Bitcoin in every retirement account?

Bitcoin in everyones retirement account, how big is the opportunity?

The takeaway

The Bitcoin ETFs allow people to put a small fraction of their retirement account into BTC  like they would invest in a stock index or anything else. 

This is reducing friction and legitimizes Bitcoin as a real mainstream investment opportunity.

In the short term (few years) that's $100 billion likely to flow into Bitcoin.

But the real unlock is the long term. All the generations that come after the Baby Boomers (which are already retiring) are significantly more attracted to Bitcoin as a long term investment opportunity.

If the ETF providers don't screw up their marketing, they can be sure to collect fees on GenXers and Millennials keeping retirement money invested into Bitcoin for decades. 

That will provide a constant buying pressure on Bitcoin and increase its scarcity. You can't get anything more positive for the macro trend.
