How would you valuate Bitcoin?

Best answer
Hi!
Similar to other typical McKinsey price factors cases (factors influencing Oil Prices, Real Estate Prices, etc) you should approach it with the supply - demand framework:
Supply factors:
- Volumes of bitcoins mined
- Upper cap on the total number of bitcoins
- Tech specifications of the system (Forks, etc)
- R&D explored innovations - potential to increase the speed of bitcoin transactions to compete with Visa / Master Card
- Speculation
Demand Factors:
- Volume of transactions
- Number of people holding bitcoins
- Availability of exchanges
- Bitcoin adoption by payment systems, banks, sellers
- Availability of alternative coins (Ripple, Bitcoin cash, etc)
- Regulation (Taxation, restrictions, etc)
- Speculation
- Economy and prices for alternatives (Gold, real estate, etc)
Best!
