Why? Because the way the world goes, people will want to see BTC at $100K. And after that, they will want to see BTC at $1M.

BTC is the future, gold is the past.

It's all possible folks.

I'm a HODLer since 2013 and haven't sold a bit. If I can do it you can do it too :)

You're very bullish ;D

But it's quite impressive that you're still Hold your coin from 2013, where the price of Bitcoin is very cheap around $100-$800/each. You're already gains a lot from the first time you buy it, congratulations.

As many people said this year Bitcoin will reach $80-$100K but not sure how correct it is, Elon Musk and many institutional has start buy Bitcoin... so it's possible if we look on the market right now.

You are not the only one, everyone wanted to see $100k-$1 million per BTC.

$100k is more likely though this year, but $1 million might take years to get to there, we might go on another halving before we can see it. I wouldn't say that gold is the past though, still one of the best asset, store of value. But bitcoin is taking a cut from that big slice of gold. $1 trillion vs $10 trillion market valuation, we will see who will survived and goes on top.

Congratulation for being a HODL even in this time of the pandemic, 2013 is such a long time, and a lot of belief that Bitcoin will eventually reach this level I also believe that $100k is possible, the news about Bitcoin progress and achievement are all over media and as long as people are interested to invest and social media are covering us, Bitcoin will continue to climb.

Well, I wouldn't have said inevitable but in my opinion it is so likely that, okay, using hyperbole we can say that it is inevitable. What I find rather weak is the argument you make. What people want or don't want rarely ends up materializing in reality. It seems to me that there are strong arguments to think about it without relying on people's will.

It is pretty clear that institutions will gradually adopt Bitcoin, both for their reserves and as a means of payment. This will bring back retail FOMO, which has already started. In turn, this will bring a decrease in supply, because people will not want to sell (as is already happening) and with the deflationary nature of Bitcoin, the production of new Bitcoins will be less and less.

These seem like stronger arguments to me, but well, other than that, I congratulate you on holding since 2013. I sold a few small parts of what I have with the recent rise but have decided not to sell anything else at least until the next cycle (in about 4 years time). We have to look at this as a long term plan and I think you have done it very well in this regard.

Congrats! Hodler is a Hodler!

Now as the market is going, of course $ 100k is possible, for me these amounts were always possible for Bitcoin, what happens in the market today is that many influential people and some renowned companies have entered the world of Bitcoin, and have entered to win, so I see very unlikely that the price will drop much.

People are experiencing many emotions and they continue to buy more bitcoins, as long as this world of emotions continues the price will continue to grow, and although $ 100k is a very desired figure and for some very difficult, bitcoin is writing history like the great ones, gold will always be valuable, but Bitcoin is having its time and is here to stay.

The institutional investors will be looking for big rallies and i do not think small time investors will take the risk and invest in it consider the transaction fees are higher most of the time and the rally solely depends upon how much institutions are willing to gamble. There is a correlation between gold investors as there is a huge amount of money invested in the bitcoin market possibly by the gold investors and you need to understand they will book their profits eventually and turn back to gold or any investment that makes them profit.

So you are waiting to become another millionaire, congrats on that.

$100k is a realistic goal if there is a concerted effort by the whole community, I'd like to concentrate on first reaching the $70k level before thinking of $100k, I don't think $1 million is attainable it will take another halving to reach that level we just need to keep on doing the right thing and we will all be ok heading to the next halving.

gongrats for holding all this time!!
100k is very realistic, also i don't think fiat currencies will last that long and all transactions and currencies will go to blockchain solutions

Bubbles pop when demand lowers and someone starts taking profits. Hodlers may want to see $100,000 or $1 million, but new buyers aren't that excited about buying close to ATH during later stages of bull run. And these new buyers would be among the first to sell when the price starts falling, because they wouldn't want to lose. What rises quickly can and most often does fall quickly.

This bull run, just like previous bull runs, can end without any warnings, so it's best to be flexible and not set any goals for yourself, no one can predict where the top will be.

We are inching closer to $100k everyday.


Unlikely this year.


No need to compare.


Wow, that was like 8 years of holding and I'm sure you can be considered as crypto millionaires. It takes a lot of mental toughness to even hold for a year (base on my experienced). But you are a living proof that there are really HODL'ers like you.

So let's just hope for the best for all of us, this year.

It can reach and cross 100k seems to be possible and holding for that is a must. Have a plan startegy so that one can make use of this rise and books some profits in the same time and have some to hold for future so that can take advantage when it reaches near 100k. It is all now planning I guess to ensure to make money and keep making money from it.

HODLER since 2014 & only now just starting to sell small percentages of my stash. You’re right, $100,000 is inevitable. It’ll happen this year, who knows how high it’ll go. We’ll reach a peak & then dip before rising again after the next halving but who cares, we are already winners at this price.

Really great to see that there are still people who do held up specially those early adopters or who bought on very cheap price that are still holding upto this day without selling even a single coin.

Basing off on to the profits then its really a nasty one but it seems they do really like to see $100k.Well, i cant really blame out people on not to have this kind of perception
specially now that bitcoins price movement and adoption rate.

We do even not able to expect on breaking out from 30k upto nearly 60k when we do able to breach out that all time high.

you make it sound like a game!
the reality is that if we wanted to speculate about the price based on what people want then you have to also take into account the other (opposite) people and what they want too. those who want to see bitcoin drop or worse those who want to see bitcoin crash.

in the end the price is still rising when the adoption increases and we all know how ridiculously fast it is increasing these days. so i'd say $100k is not just inevitable but it will be the beginning of reaching next targets which are $300k to $500k.

Depend on the situation actually, although many people including me want bitcoin price touch $100.000 but if the situation doesn't support it won't happen at this time. Yeah, there may be some problem comes like regulation from some countries that restrict the utilization of bitcoin will obstruct many bag holder stay to hold their bitcoin, they will start to sell their bitcoin to take profit.

If this happen, the market sentiment will change and bearish sign will come and bitcoin price will fall, it is bad scenario. But otherwise, if many countries decide to keep allowing the utilization of bitcoin like this time then the possibility for rising to $100.000 even more than that will happen. Many investor will still comfortable to keep their bitcoin and holding it until $100.000 is achieved.

That's very true. We went down to $3k and people wanted to see $1k for the bears and for the bulls, as much as $10k only. But after bitcoin hits and struggles on $10k, we all want to see it goes at least $13k up to $20k as the last ATH.

It's about our mindset that whenever we reach a certain high price, we're becoming determined and putting more faith in bitcoin because it finally happened.

That's a high level of patience and tolerance you've got if you haven't sold any. I wonder how many bitcoins you hold. I don't have much holding but I can say that's fair enough to spend for the things that I desire in the near future.

We are all know about the Bitcoin traffic and current activity of crypto market, so it will reach 100k on further years. But decentralized platform is little difficult to predict the next step so we can wait see the next update of Bitcoin. Already number of countries are concentrate the BTC investment so automatically it will reach the huge milestone.

Wow, that is very confident. I like it and I follow behind you to hold bitcoin ;D
All people who hold bitcoin will have the same thing as you, which they want to see bitcoin at $100k or $1M, and bitcoin is on the way to reach $100k.
What happens to bitcoin so far attracts many people out there to join the bitcoin world because they see bitcoin has the investment side, which they can use to buy and hold bitcoin.
It is better if you can use bitcoin and gold together to have two types of investment.

You are a great person because you have not sold a penny until now ,, you are the true holder.

Everyone wants a higher price even 100k is not enough if it is true that bitcoin has reached it, this is a fantastic value where bitcoin has been surpassed by surpassing gold that was left behind, many institutions have now succumbed to bitcoin they believe with such a huge increase then from I now believe bitcoin is more than anything else. Could it be called the king of the highest assets?

Yeah most likely you are right, but gold isn't going anywhere.  Bitcoin is just another asset class its not looking to replace fine metals in its place.  The 2 can coexist in the same investment space just ways to diversify your portfolio.

Yeah I too feel like there is a chance that bitcoin could go up even more right now, but back in the day when it was 20k I sold my coins in 2017 and got out lucky, why did I sold at the peak during that period but not selling it today? Because it is obvious that there are bigger players involved this time around compared to previous times.

We heard microstrategy and grayscale news first when bitcoin was around 10-15k and price is 50k right now and they are still looking to buy more and more. Other companies started to get in as well, so at the end of the day I am not really sure what we are going to do but I feel like we are doing fine so far. Of course it is not going to be easy to hold the price here, there is a chance it could drop drastically, but we are fighting against that with the huge companies buying constantly which means $100 will be get-able with respect to current power of bull markets.

You're bullish indeed becasue you have been holding from a very long time, though this might not be good to those new buyers who just want more dip in bitcoin price before they buy. For someone like you, deserve kudos becasue many who bought back 2017 have all sold their portfolios before the 2020. Sincerely, i always slap myself several times whenever i check bitcoin price becasue in 2018 i bought some good quantity of this coin but hurriedly sold them out, what a shame...

Well, perhaps he is very lucky and until now OP was able to hold bitcoin, it will perhaps earned how many folds in profit.
But most of my bitcoin was sold when it was I almost needed and I am trying now to accumulate and I never feel it is too late because bitcoin continuously growing up and it is always ended up with a high price. There are too many predictions about $100k is coming and I think it is really worth it to hold and it' is not too late by now. How I wish that I am like in OP's situation, I am perhaps not worried much when it comes to financial problems, but for sure, I sold it already when bitcoin was on $50k.  :D

Such an amazing patience if you've been holding your btc until now, it's totally different compared with me. I owned btc last 2018 but all of it was just gone and spent without knowing the importance of it. Much worst during the pandemic of 2020, I failed to save because I haven't worked to earn money that time due to lock down at home. This time $100k is inevitable and becoming unstoppable.

Not that impressive for me. Not that I want to belittle OP but I have coins that I bought in 2016 and watched them go from 3 to 20 thousand and back to 3 and then again to 20 and beyond.

It's easy to hold when you have a clear goal.

I agree that it will go to 100 thousand we just don't know if it will have a bear market somewhere between 60 and 100 or not. The bull run is so strong that I feel like it could have a bear market fakeout like in April 2013 and continue to be bullish.

Good for those who Hold bitcoin since 2013 that until now are strong hands able to stored bitcoin in their wallet. I have some bitcoin but not that huge so I'm still holding it also. Many assumptions that price of bitcoin may possibly reach to $100k this year. Looking at the current price it is over $50k in just few months so indeed btc to $100k is inevitable.

are you still a bitcoin holder since 2013? It's amazing to hear news like this from someone, usually a lot of people have sold it in 2017 or 2018, is there anything that makes you believe Bitcoin can reach $ 100k? even though if we see the indicators are overbought, of course this will make bitcoin a dump. oh yes, then may I know how many bitcoins you currently hold? hehe

Thankfully I managed to get in, I got in very very late and I should have put more money in a lot earlier and I am sad that I didn't get in this early, I am an idiot for not getting in earlier, but I am quite happy that this happened, at least I am making profit right now and it is better than zero. I also think that even if price of things I own drops, I managed to buy them right now and can get out before it drops under where I bought it, I made 2x profit already and my bitcoin is still in a huge huge profit so far, getting closer to 10x profit there too but I always had that, it is not really new.

I believe anyone who is not involved right now with a stop loss would be doing themselves a disservice, they are 100% missing out on a great deal and they should definitely focus on making some more profit during this period and if you have a decent stop loss put in place you won't lose too much money neither, none if you change it after things go up.

100k Bitcoin is a nice milestone but final stable price will be much higher. Many years ago I and others were throwing around $300k as a final "stable" price after a final massive run up over a million (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=800330.0).

That was a good 6 or 7 years ago though, so adjusting for all the money thats been sloshed into the system, I think a target of $1m a coin is not unreasonable (after a spike to around $3m).

I need a /remindme 10 years option :)

$100k is basically impossible, which I have proven.

I'd need sources!

The most proven sources are science, math, and logic.

Well that's all well and good but unless they are confirmed sources then I don't see that they are relevant!

Oh, yes, absolutely confirmed. Sorry, I thought that went without saying.

the more people will hear about crypto the higher the price will be, the gains are amazing so the ATH will be linked to the population size

The fact that you don't provide any source speaks a thousand words...

Well that seem cut and dried $100k is confirmed impossible. As are science math and logic.

Yeah and while Bitcoin is full of opportunities because of its volatile nature and growing every second of the clock, gold provides stability because not every trader and investor can take the risk as others and this is also the reason why stock market is so popular.

I think 100k will be touched by the end of the year at least once, not sure if the price will remain that high for long though. There are still people who hold big amount of coins and they might cherish the moment to sell some of their coins at 100k or even below that mark.

The best thing is to just look and follow the market and flow where it takes us, I don't make too many assumptions because I am mostly proven wrong so I just watch the market and take my opportunities to invest and divest when I feel is the right time. Like when Musk shared the news of buying BTC worth 1.5 billion USD, I purchased some and later as the market went up as expected, I sold some and cashed the profit.

Surely you are correct that its inevitable that we will see bitcoin price point of $100k.  Theres just too much interest in it now for it not to happen.   

The main question thats important here is when will we see this price.  If it is this year I will be very shocked with joy but realistically it might take longer then that.   

Right, from average investors to big companies who's will to pour billions in the market. So it can't be stop.

Another question is how people are willing to wait, because as we have seen in the last 2 days or so, it seems that there are a lot of panic sellers, puling the price down. I'm expecting that the 6 digits will be hit this year, we are just like x2 with the current price, so it's really doable.

With the rate of how the price is going up, $100K is really doable, so long as no bearish event or news will occur. Since there is already institutional adoption and interest creeping in, we can maybe expect to hit that even before the year. Some suggest even as early as June-July.

Another question to ask is how many more dumps will we experience just like the one previously before we get there? We can see many weak hands shaken from this recent "crash". Surely, it's not going to be a smooth ride towards $100K. Many more weak hands will be shaken down in the market corrections to come.

The problem is that everyone like you cannot save for a long time. Many cannot trust cryptocurrency and many sell it for emergency money. At current prices, only half of your desired price has been reached. However, it is expected that the milestone of 100k will be filled very soon.

Bitcoin will never reach $100k. Guaranteed. Proven. Confirmed.

That will depend on them, but I am sure that many people are still waiting for the next rally, and even if the rally does not start yet, the price can back to $49k-$50k, so there will be a big chance for bitcoin price to increase again.
We should not worry about many panic sellers because they do not know if the bitcoin price will increase higher than the price now.
If you believe in bitcoin, you should not panic and try to buy more bitcoin while the price does not increase.
I am sure the bitcoin price will get a pump again as bitcoin have much time to get it later.

Sadly this is true. Many of us have expenses in life which force us to cash out bitcoin holdings against our will. However I think it's very important to do the best to reduce expenses maximum as possible to keep your funds in bitcoin, as this effort will be rewarded later when crypto currency reaches higher prices levels. That is the mentality of the people who thrived financially: save today to spend tomorrow.

---

I have no doubts about bitcoin's potential. It has already hit 50,000$ and there is still a lot of demand for it among investors of different kinds. Maybe bitcoin is the most desired investment in the world at this moment, so it's to take it seriously and time to stop listening the haters and trolls who always emerge to spread panic and pessimism when a correction starts.

It’s impressive that you haven’t sold your Bitcoin since 2013, I mean I had my days wherein I wanted to withdraw them when I was frustrated when it went down to like $3k but good think I haven’t sold all of them. And yes I agree with you even if it sounds bullish but it is possible. People would want to see them reach to a certain limit when there is a new ATH.

We have seen a big big drop now, it was a huge correction, that happens time to time, we had one last month as well, it is not really that uncommon and we should not really be shocked all that much. This doesn't meant to be something that means we are going to be going down, just because we had a huge bull run doesn't mean that a huge bear should follow that, I know it happened a few times but those were different periods and we should not be scared of what is going on.

However one thing is certain, we are going to reach that 100k, and if we had a correction last time around at around 40k and dropped to 30k and reached 50k+ that means maybe after this correction price dropped to 45k, and we could double that as well? Just because something happened once doesn't mean it will happen again, but it is also not unlikely neither, I feel like 80k+ is totally possible on the next run.

It is indeed certain for Bitcoin to reach $100k but the question is when exactly, people speculating that this year will be suitable for it to happen but right now having a quite huge correction. I believed that big investors want also to see Bitcoin in that position thus why I think they'll push it even more. $1M on the other hand is quite vague right now but let see in the future. By the way, it is very impressive that you were able to hold your coins from 2013 till now and haven't sell any of them, that would be a pretty huge profit once you sold them. I'm not sure if I can able to pull off something as you do but I believe what matters is we are still having a profit right?

I hope this.  We have 8 weeks up and the value is consolidating at $ 50k.  It slipped off the new ATH of $ 58k.  Although the only way for x2 to reach ATH is $ 100k, it needs multiple catalysts together.  Supporting the new trend along with the addition of delicious seasonings, we will see a $ 100k beef dish.  Be patient, market trends and weather are proportional to good things to come.  I think it's better to see bitcoin move $ 70k by the end of this February.
* We have the latest ~ 1100 billion at 58k$, the problem x2 will need 80% more.  Go*

Your statement is enough to say you're a hundred percent wrong, guaranteed, proven.
Why? Because, how can you prove and guarantee something that yet to be happened without solid proof and evidence.
Nevertheless, you're just trolling.
I bet, this is the same words the people used to say back in 2013 that Bitcoin won't reach $1,000.

not sure it will hit 100k this year even though i think it will

but would like to ask

Guranteed from who?
Proven How??
confirmed when???

maybe it will maybe it wont but is all speculations and nothing solid

This is not speculation. It's guaranteed by proven math and science calculations and confirmed by true news sources from sources that are not fake news.

out of genuine interest can you share some of the calculations and sources
many thanks

His calculations are

"I have no coins" + "they have coins" = "they have more than me"

Taking the fact that he doesn't want to be a loser the conclusion is that "bitcoin will go down"

I don't have time to explain all of the complicated proven science and math right now. You can figure it out for yourself with a little bit of research if you know how to do math and science. Basically, if math and science is true, then bitcoin will fail 100% and can never sustain these fake news prices.

I want to call your attention so something else I proved with math and science and tried to warn the world about many years ago:

https://i.imgur.com/u7rGGZ1.jpg

Here's (http://www.lmfdb.org/ModularForm/GL2/Q/holomorphic/1/12/a/a/) a good place to begin. Once you understand this you have a foundation for the next steps that prove 100% that bitcoin should be aggressively shorted and cannot sustain these prices and will never reach $100k.

And after 7 years we are still going up.... <-proof

how does this proves anything??

very curious to see what you will say not if but when it does go to 100k, lets see time will tell  ;D ;)

Back in 2018 we can only expect that price will once again reach $20k but we aren't sure how high it could go. now that it's $50k I'm sure the price will go more than that as well. We'll never know if it's going to $100k but we'll find out because crypto works in mysterious ways. what we are sure of right now is that there are big companies buying BTC and adoption had increased.

I can confirm that I have seen these sources and they are reliable. This is not China's first rodeo, this news is has 7 years of confirmations, the math clearly demonstrates it cannot be re-orged, as is well understood blockchain is a single source of truth. The science has proven this also.

Yes ok, however prices so far go up all these years so these statements and math don't really prove anything so far
Again out of genuine interest would like to see the proof for these sources and the 7 years of confirmations so i can learn and understand more about this
where is the science??

The thing about that 100k number is that we have reached all the previous goals so far, it may have taken 1 year, 5 years or 10 years but we have reached all of them, which is why people are confident enough that we will reach the next stop as well, which is 100k.

But, where does this "stop", I mean surely enough as long as crypto continues, and the inflation continues we could have a billion dollars per bitcoin in 500 years too, but we all know by that time something else will probably happen, which is why I do not really think that we will see that, so let's talk about our life, next 50 years tops, we won't see a billion dollars per bitcoin in 50 years, or that is at least what I think, but we know we will eventually reach 100k, so we have to figure out what is the level it will stop, if not 1 billion but over 100k, what is the reasonable number? I say 1 million is more than enough, that should probably be max cap for us.

Its right in front of you. The good thing about the blockchain being public is you can verify for yourself. These confirmations are very deep by now and so there is no chance of them being re-orged.

I wish I could do but my hands and minds really shaking and sometimes we need to spend some of it. I don't hold Bitcoin for a life-time, I instead enjoying it. I use to buy stuff, converted it to fiat money.

But what you did is exemplary, it is only a few people could do that especially when it comes to investment. I would like to ask you until when you will keep on holding? Well, I hope you enjoy doing this. Because when the time that price reaches $100k, I gonna sell-off my entire Bitcoin.

All one?
Why not go for the $1.5M bitcoin or the $10M and $100M btc in 12years  8)

That's the mindset we have but some people are worried how long it may take. Long term investors do not understand the fact that some people want to not lose money neither, and that is understandable, if you are a very long term investor, if the price goes from 10k to 60k to 20k to 100k that is fine for you, you do not mind that because for you it moved from 10k to 100k, but there are people who want to buy at 10k, sell at 60k, buy back at 20k, and sell at 100k again to make more money than a long term investor, and some of them fail that which is understandable but it is also understandable why they feel scared when it goes down, I do not mind people trying to make more money than a long term investor and because of that I also do not mind people getting scared as well.

I would like to make as much money as they would as well but I can't handle all that pressure so I switched to long term investor too.

While calculating this morning I found this (http://en.sgg.whu.edu.cn/a/news/2015/0421/109.html) compelling resource. Looks like Chinese sources are confirming bitcoin's collapse. The Chinese government is expected to borrow against 30 year bond yield swaps and apply cash flow to aggressive bitcoin shorting.

China banned and destroyed bitcoin about 50 times. What makes you think that this time is different?
And if they short and we go up we will consume the chinese economy... Good enough for me  :-*

P.S. We are going up again. Irrelevant coin to da moon!!!  8)

I am not sure we will already "alive" when btc will reach 1 million of USD ;D
Plus I am not sure this will be a "great" news, since it means that classic monetary system is burned completely and FIAT is literally worth nothing...

About 100k probably we will see during next bull run, since this is an huge increase and the marketcap has growth a lot during these last months.

What if that happened? will other assets be worthless and FIAT will also be affected?  ::)

Now slowly growing bitcoin continues to move through the direction of strong winds 100k will be achieved if all major investors believe it will support future gains when the value grows bigger. The market cap will return to 1 trillion USD in the next few days and it looks like bitcoin has recovered again.

Sorry - this is fake news, the source http://haschinabannedbitcoin.com confirms it.

Thank you for proving proudhon is wrong with #mathsAndScience

I think we will see $100k in this bull run, and everyone who saw the bull run in 2017 is convinced of that. When it comes to reaching $1M, it may actually take a while, but I think it is possible in a few years. The fact that the currency system is falling, has been known for several years, so it is just a matter of time.

That is a big question for me too ;D
If I am dying, maybe I will give my btc to my family, especially to my wife and kids, so they can continue for what I've done.
Although I already teach them to use bitcoin and trying to increase the amount of bitcoin they had.
I still consider that Fiat is still worth it for the country, but people can choose what payment method they want to use.
I will wait for that $100k in the next bull run, and I hope that it won't take too long ;D

I have seen the 2017 Bullrun and i have already saw the Bullrun of 2020-2021 so what are you saying that we knew it?
i don't think we must be greedy to ask for so much more mate.

are you not enough and happy when the price rose up to 58,000?

If not then you are a real greedy person lol.

Though i also wanted to reach that 100,000$ yet i know how to be contented.

It seems that when 2017 is different, it cannot be compared to this year's event, because 2017 is the halving effect that occurs at the end of the year with renewable ATH. when entering 2018 there was a very sharp correction and could not increase anymore.

increase in 2020 that happened due to the @elonmusk effect as well
many large companies buy bitcoins on a large scale, so the price goes up high. entering 2021 there is a correction but it is relatively invisible, even bitcoin is getting worse because in a few days it makes ATH. Please note that the Halving has not happened  this year, so if it does occur then based on experience it will occur at the end of the year. then we can conclude how much will be the price with bitcoin.

depending on the person if they use their savings or the money they need to use it will not happen, usually they use it to get quick profits, but sometimes it works and fails because it has a time limit.
I am also try to hold for longterm and start it for now im already hold for 3 month  ;D

Welcome to the HODL  8)

That's a good start, holding for long term is really simply, but it carry a lot of mental courage to begin with. Takes a lot of discipline, I myself hasn't been successful though, I just keep a tab of my stash and from time to time dump then "if" needed. So best of luck in your journey, and for sure, the benefits of being a holder long term will pay off.

Bitcoin's price is always derived from it's users.

Reaching new all time high this year was a result of more and more people putting their money on cryptocurrency due to the pandemic. Not only it was seen on crypto market, stock and forex market has seen significant increasing in user base spike. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/21/many-people-turn-to-day-trading-in-pandemic-few-will-be-a-winners.html (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/21/many-people-turn-to-day-trading-in-pandemic-few-will-be-a-winners.html)

More user means it generates more potential holders. However, most of the newcomer in this crypto market often mistakes crypto as a way to make big bucks for a few days or months due to its ever increasing hype and FOMO train. Weak hands usually ends up losing their money than profiting from it. Bitcoin will definitely hold and gain over time value due to it's limited minting. As fewer Bitcoins will be minted and it's supply circulation is completely set we will see banks, institution and mass adoption will take place. With that in mind, as more people see the value of Bitcoin we will see the price trend increase on an uphill trend.

I truly believe that there is a chance that bitcoin will hit a bigger milestone from now on. The most realistic goals today are $100K and beyond. However, all of this still requires a process and is very unlikely to be achieved if the adoption of bitcoin in the world does not increase. The thing that has a big influence on the current bitcoin price is institutional investor, they deserve to be the perpetrators of the massive increase in bitcoin price this year.

I believe and maybe you don't need to prove anything to us because the $68,824.81 in bitcoin you currently have is enough to prove you are the holder.  ;)
I think you are a holder with a strong mentality so that it will not affect you when bitcoin is undergoing a major correction.

how great are you are the holders of bitcoin since 2013? how did you survive this long mate? wow this is an amazing thing that I have heard, I myself have been holding Bitcoin since 2017 and selling it at $ 18k, and buying it again when $ 5000 is reached, until now I am still holding, well hopefully the $ 100k you are talking about will be reached soon .

Thats a true heart of a Hodler no matter how long you would wait and if your target or goal is going into a particular point then you wont really be minding on what price you would really be taking on or able to see
neither the market would really be on bearish or bullish it wouldnt matter and level of patience and self control isnt something that would similar into each person thats why you can either hold or sell on early
for the sake of earning profit in a short time.Its a matter of preference on how much you could really able to bare because people does have different levels when it comes to emotion.

Those early bagholders has the nerve of steel to just simply HODL, and I'm sure there are a lot of them in this community, there's even a dedicated thread for them, Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0)

I guess there's no secret, they really long for long term. I have stocks that I still hold for more than 20 years now, and I'm planning to do the same with my bitcoin holdings, HODL as long as I can.  ;D
