Data as of October 2024

Bitcoin is not only the most secure financial system currently available but also holds promise due to its decentralization and resistance to censorship. Its secure foundation and limited supply justify a potential increase in value, especially when compared to the vast amounts tied up in traditional assets. This suggests that Bitcoin, while currently a small fraction of global assets, has significant room for growth and greater integration into mainstream finance.
