"Question of multiplier of BTC v. stablecoins IMO. IE BTC mkt cap has been 2.5x to 10x that of stablecoins. Bessent says stablecoins gonna be $3.7T by end of decade. Let's assume he's right. Implies BTC mkt cap of $9T at 2.5x & $37T at 10x or $440k to $1.7m/BTC. 2020-21 showed us that with enough asset inflation real economy inflation & weak enough USD this can significantly drive growth & reduce deficit.
