Bitcoin is on an ever-upward trend lately. Today, the world's first and most popular cryptocurrency is [flirting with $4,500](<https://www.coindesk.com/price/>) in valuation. is now more than three times [more valuable than gold](<https://futurism.com/bitcoin-is-now-worth-nearly-three-times-the-price-of-gold>)., and, according to one expert, Ronnie Moas of [Standpoint Research](<https://www.standpointresearch.com/>), we are still only at the tip of the iceberg.

Moas [spoke with ](<https://www.coindesk.com/standpoint-founder-bitcoin-asset-class-will-grow-2-trillion-market/>)*[CoinDesk](<https://www.coindesk.com/standpoint-founder-bitcoin-asset-class-will-grow-2-trillion-market/>)* about his forecast for the cryptomarket. He predicts that all cryptocurrencies will be worth $2 trillion in the next 10 years, a significant bump from their current standing at $150 billion. Moas sees a direct parallel between the crypto market and the "dot-com boom" of the 1990s.

"I am not any more concerned with bitcoin being at a record high than Amazon or Google investors were concerned when those share prices jumped hundreds of percent and hit $100 and $200 many years ago. Today, both of those stocks are above $900. The question is not where we are at — it is where are we going? I do not think we are in a bubble."

As for bitcoin specifically, Moas is predicting prices to continue to soar with value reaching $15,000 to $20,000 in the next three years.

Others, like Peter Schiff, an investor who predicted the 2008 mortgage crisis, see bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as existing in a bubble and as a Ponzi scheme built on "just plain greed." Still, there is no way to know which way this market will go as no one has yet invented a way to see into the future.
