According to Cointelegraph, Saifedean Ammous—author of The Bitcoin Standard—states that Bitcoin currently functions as money when held as a store of value. He expects that over time it will become larger in market terms and less volatile than gold.
Ammous does not provide specific timelines or market projections. His view is based on historical observation of Bitcoin’s use as a store of value and its gradual adoption. He notes that as Bitcoin matures, increased usage in everyday transactions and greater institutional and public acceptance could contribute to reduced price swings. At the same time, rising demand and broader utility may lead to greater overall market size relative to gold.
The statement reflects Ammous’s analytical perspective on monetary evolution rather than a definitive forecast. No numerical comparisons or timelines were included in his remarks.
