In the grand scheme of things very few people own equity, its only in recent years people have moved to it as a savings vehicle, I think under a bitcoin standard this goes away, if your money appreciates, even slightly what appeal is there to go seek out risk?
I think a BTC standard would also see a lot more companies not needing public markets, they would find a size and stay there and remain private, owned by the founders, staff and maybe a few private equity players
As for the public market, oef PE ratios I think below 10 would be the norm and while some might still try to do the buy back thing, I think dividents make a big come back
Good thoughts. I definitely think P/E ratios would come down substantially. I think sub 10 is feasible. Average for the market historically is around 19x.
