These are hypothetical constant-growth scenarios, not Power Law, Stock-to-Flow, or Rainbow Chart forecasts. All assume positive returns and omit volatility, fees, taxes, and inflation. Bitcoin can lose value. The full calculator uses different methods: a market-price-anchored time power function for Power Law and a halving-cycle growth heuristic for Stock-to-Flow, not PlanB's original regression. Results will differ. No returns or retirement date are guaranteed.

Understanding These Predictions
These hypothetical compound-growth calculations are applied to Bitcoin's current price of $100,000, compounded over 20 years.
The range from $3.8M to $83.7M reflects the difference between conservative assumptions (20% annual growth) and a higher assumed growth rate (40% per year). The actual price will depend on adoption, regulation, macroeconomic conditions, and technological development.
Key factors for 2046: Over long horizons, small changes in growth assumptions cause large differences. These examples are not probability-weighted forecasts.
Disclaimer: These are theoretical projections, not financial advice. Bitcoin is extremely volatile and can lose 50-80% of its value in bear markets. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
