Bitcoin has long ceased to be just a digital currency — today it is considered a serious investment asset that can provide financial independence and a stable future. Bitcoin expert Sminston Witt has prepared a study that estimates how much cryptocurrency will be needed for a comfortable retirement in different regions of the world by 2035.
In his infographic, Witt identified three groups of countries with different levels of required BTC. For countries such as Malaysia, Brazil, and El Salvador, the average need is about 0.1 bitcoin. This is due to the relatively low standard of living and cost of living in these regions.
In countries with a more modest economic level — Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, and India — only 0.01 to 0.1 BTC will be needed to ensure basic comfort. Here, cryptocurrency can become a real alternative to traditional pension savings.
However, in countries with developed economies, such as the United States, Russia, Switzerland and Mexico, an investor will need much more to maintain a stable and secure lifestyle - from 1 to 8 bitcoins. This is due to higher costs and living standards.
Market forecasts are also encouraging: according to CoinCodex analysts, the value of BTC may reach $140,000 by the end of August 2025. Technical indicators indicate a predominance of bullish sentiment, the fear and greed index indicates a high degree of "greed" - 73 out of 100. Over the past month, Bitcoin has shown positive dynamics on 60% of trading days with moderate volatility of about 4.35%.
Thus, Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly attractive tool for long-term investments and pension planning. It opens up new opportunities for those who want to secure financial freedom and retire earlier than traditional terms, adapting to the economic realities of different countries.
However, experts remind that cryptocurrencies remain volatile and associated with high risks, so investments should be approached with caution, taking into account all factors and your own capabilities.
