Matt Cole sees Bitcoin above $500,000 within five years

Aug 30, 2026

A Bitcoin bull case built on a weakening dollar — good for Bitcoin and gold holders, bad for anyone sitting in cash.

  • Bitcoin could pass half a million dollars a coin in four to five years, with gold and silver also much higher.
  • The reason is dollar debasement: money is expected to lose value faster over the next five years than it did over the past fifteen.
  • If the dollar ever fails, the US would favor a Bitcoin-backed dollar over a return to gold, because China and India hold far more gold while most Bitcoin sits in American hands.
  • That logic argues against a US ban on Bitcoin and for much higher prices instead.
  • The near-term path is rough: long-term government bond yields grinding higher until something breaks, forcing the Fed into heavy money printing, with big swings in stocks and crypto along the way.

Outlook: Expect a volatile 12 to 18 months, with scarce assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver ending much higher.
