In a fantastical world called 'digital currency,' there is a hero named 'Bitcoin.' It was born in 2009 and has since embarked on a path filled with adventure and challenges. Bitcoin has a unique magic—decentralization and scarcity—that allows it to maintain its value amid various financial storms.
Recently, Bitcoin has gained popularity again. Imagine Bitcoin as a brave knight, riding its rapidly appreciating steed, breaking through the $100,000 castle wall, leaving everyone in awe. Analysts, these prophets, predict that Bitcoin's adventure is far from over, and by 2025, it could become even more powerful, with a price potentially reaching between $100,000 and $140,000.
However, this world is not always smooth sailing. Sometimes, Bitcoin faces setbacks, such as a sudden price drop below $90,000. But like the protagonists in all hero stories, Bitcoin always manages to recover from setbacks and continue its adventure.
In this world, there is also a mysterious event called 'halving.' It occurs every four years, reducing Bitcoin's production by half, which injects new strength into Bitcoin, making it scarcer and more powerful. Historically, after each 'halving,' the price of Bitcoin has experienced a surge.
First, there is a mysterious prophet named PlanB, who uses a magical tool called the S2F model to predict that by 2028, the price of Bitcoin could reach $500,000, with a market cap exceeding $1 trillion. Although this prediction sounds a bit crazy, it has given many people a dream.
Next, Geoffrey Kendrick from Standard Chartered Bank, an experienced expedition leader, predicts that by the end of next year, the price of Bitcoin may rise to about $200,000. He believes that the support from institutional investors is the main reason Bitcoin surged to $100,000 this year, and this support will continue into 2025.
Analysts from 10x Research are also not to be outdone, predicting that by the end of January 2025, Bitcoin could reach $101,694. They believe that the narrative around Bitcoin has shifted from DeFi to 'digital gold,' which will make Bitcoin a long-term asset in institutional portfolios.
Meanwhile, on Wall Street, Gautam Chhugani, an analyst from investment bank Bernstein, has also joined this prediction contest, forecasting that Bitcoin will reach a cycle high of $200,000 by the end of 2025. He believes that as cryptocurrencies become mainstream, they may change how we provide financial services globally.
Finally, Mark Palmer, a senior analyst at The Benchmark Company, predicts that by the end of 2026, the price of Bitcoin will soar to $225,000.
This story is also filled with unknowns and risks. The price of Bitcoin may fluctuate like a roller coaster, and in this world full of magic and miracles, Bitcoin's journey continues, and we are all witnesses to this story.
