“The internet, which was the fastest adoption of technology the world had ever seen, grew by 76% per year and then slowed down after year eight to 43% a year,” Raoul Pal said in his latest YouTube video.
In comparison, “Crypto has been growing at 137% a year. It’s now at 516 million users versus 187 million of the internet at the same stage.”
This stark contrast highlights the accelerated adoption curve that cryptocurrencies are experiencing relative to the early days of the internet.
Projecting Crypto’s Trajectory
Pal elaborated on the methodology behind his forecasts, “Then what we did is assume that crypto just slows down its growth to the same as the internet. I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think it will be faster, but by the end of 2025, we get to 1.1 billion users.”

By extending this model further and aligning crypto’s growth rate to that of the internet’s post-explosion phase, Pal’s “perfect chart” projects a user base of four billion by 2030 — effectively encapsulating half of the world’s projected population.

Realistic Expectations And Market Implications
While acknowledging the speculative nature of such forecasts, Pal remains cautiously optimistic. “Now will this be perfect? It’s been pretty perfect so far, and I’ve been showing this chart for five years now. But let’s assume not. Either way, these numbers are simply staggering,” he stated.
These insights into cryptocurrency adoption will take center stage at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders will explore the ramifications of such growth.
