The strongest growth phase for Bitcoin and crypto might still be coming. Consider this: only around 4 million crypto wallets globally are holding Bitcoin at $10,000 or more. Meanwhile, there are roughly 900 million IRA and brokerage accounts worldwide with similar amounts. That's a 200x difference in scale. The implications are massive—if even a fraction of traditional finance participants start building crypto positions, we're looking at a market with vastly more room to expand. The foundation is being laid, and adoption curves in emerging markets keep accelerating. This isn't just noise; it's the beginning of a genuine shift in how people think about digital assets and wealth storage.

200x gap? If this data is accurate, then the entry of traditional financial giants would be on an entirely different scale.

200x gap? This data is incredible. The real beginning is when traditional finance enters the scene.

A 200x gap, this is the real ceiling
---
Traditional finance really hasn't shown any movement yet; once they enter, it'll be a show
---
Early participants are laughing to death hahaha
---
I'm optimistic about emerging markets; the penetration rate is still far from enough
---
Exactly, it's just the eve right now
---
9 million vs 4 hundred thousand, the math is right here
---
When others are afraid, I accumulate coins, it's that simple
---
I need to take a screenshot of this data and share it
---
The real big show hasn't started yet, everyone
---
Infrastructure is in place, now only institutional recognition is missing

A 200x gap really can't be contained anymore. If those folks in traditional finance get serious, the crypto world will go crazy.
