if we thought $150k this year was unattainable, bitcoin is proving us wrong as it reaches almost half of that value

it makes me think what would be next now that bitcoin is reaching prices never been seen before. will there be a boost of countries finally legalizing bitcoin? i am sure that the good also comes with the bad. as bitcoin becomes extremely profitable, ill intent people will start to come to bitcoin as well and try to fool a lot of bitcoin investors so be careful.

Many factors have contributed to the $123,000 we had, they all make it more sooner than later, so we should also expect that bitcoin is going to $150,000 or something around the corner.


Nothing much to expect or change from the norms, all time high is the major reason we are all awaiting to see happened and it's happening already.


Many countries already legalized Bitcoin use even though they never supported in making investment in it or accepting Bitcoin as a legal tender, anyone into bitcoin is at his own risk

Half of $150000 is $75000, but bitcoin got to $123250 but it is now at $116500. That is more than half of $150000.

Bitcoin is legal in one way or the other in almost all countries in this world. Even in the so called China, bitcoin is legal as a property that can be owned.

It’s a truly impressive appreciation, especially for those who have been in the crypto space for years. I still believe the best is yet to come. For example, I don’t see random people talking about Bitcoin like they did during the last cycle in 2021, we haven’t had an altcoin season or anything like that. I think $150K will just be a psychological resistance, and if things don’t go off the rails (war, Trump, macroeconomics) and Bitcoin continues to follow the M2, we have every reason to believe it could reach $180K this year.

Corporate interest is providing a new and strong form of demand, and could be a catalyst that continues to push it higher and/or adds support to keep it from correcting as hard as it did in the cooling off phase of last bull periods.

you are absolutely right Bitcoin is very full of surprises in recent surge just to proves how unpredictable it is yet powerful  it can be, as  we forward  those all time high , global interest is only going to rise  both from the government fortunately from bad actors too , legaligation may speed up as some countries realize they cant ignore it any longer the profit may be like scams so people really need to stay informed and cautious

This year as been a good year for Bitcoin as it keeps breaking several ATH. My guess is that it might get to $150k before the end of the bull market.


The price movement of Bitcoin is unpredictable. So I don't think anyone can accurately predict the next move of Bitcoin. However, with the push of the President of the US to reduce interest rates in September, an increase in government and corporate organisations, I think better days are ahead.

I can not remember if we have ever had a discussion that got us all convinced that bitcoin will never reach $150,000 instead, we are even expecting more than that probably $200,000 this year. So most of us are not really surprised because of you understands the liquidations forces of bitcoin then we should believe every price is possible to be attained.



The season is really attractive to expand the market cap with new adoptors which as well portrays some versions that some governments can develop interest on too. If it goes as speculated we should be expecting some ease of unfriendly crypto policies in some of the countries which tends to have been admiring bitcoin before now.

Let’s talk about that once Bitcoin actually hits the target, we’re getting close, but the market’s still unpredictable, so you never really know what might happen.

But we’re all here because we’re betting on Bitcoin’s future. We believe adoption will keep growing, and with that, the price can only go one way --  up.

I’ve noticed a lot of new threads popping up lately too, which means people are really starting to feel the bullish momentum. Some might even be FOMO-ing in already.
Good luck to them, hopefully they keep holding, because not just $150K… even $200K is possible this year.

with increased adoption from governments and institutions, it will boost the price of bitcoin, and we could reach $150k before the end of this year... all of these possibilities are possible. however, what's important to note is that we can't be sure when that will happen, especially considering the current volatile market movements, so one needs to consider this when they want to invest their money in bitcoin. but for those looking for long-term investments, volatility won't be a problem, as it will only be visible in the short term. the most important thing is to avoid fomo and think that bitcoin is a quick way to profit.

This year $150k is still possible because there is already a time lag of 2021 - 2025.


It's impossible to get the answer we expected before the question arose.
We are too naive if we only look at it from the side of the benefits we get because Bitcoin reaches ATH at $123k. Instead, we must also look at the opposite side of the benefits or risks.
To see all countries will legalize, not impossible because I have the premise that nothing is impossible, but it takes something that is very difficult to accept.

This might very well happen but personally, I feel that this would once again shed light on Bitcoin to the global stage, and newer laws and crypto regulations may be imposed. Surely the government would want to have some sort of control over such a big digital currency (at least for the larger organizations dealing with business for less anonymity - the irony), and this could slow down its progress, depending on how large the effect is.

Just my 17 satoshis (as of today), I feel that Bitcoin would go through yet another wave of scrutinization, slowing down the climb, but we shall see. :)

Waiting for higher prices, right? If Bitcoin does not reach $150K this year, there is a possibility of a decline, but the optimistic scenario is still possible—it's just a matter of time.

Many countries have legalised Bitcoin—their citizens are permitted to hold Bitcoin, though using it for payments is not yet possible as some countries still prohibit it.

As for criminals, they will always exist, so we must remain vigilant and cautious against various types of fraud.

Bitcoin price prediction is usually not certain and that’s why it is speculation, from all indications bitcoin will be heading up soon again. Yes there was a surge in the rate at which people FOMO when the price actually went up but this wasn’t surprising, people are fond of actually coming when the market is at its peak. For me there is no top for bitcoin at the moment except you’re a short term investor, yes even above $120k is still a good buy only if you’re holding for long, but trying to buy and you’re intending to sell maybe within this year will be risky at this moment even though I have and heavy speculation of bitcoin getting up again.

For me there ATH this year is going to be any price above $150k and not more than $180k. Although bitcoin is very much unpredictable and we saw that when it moved from $105 to $123k within a week, so with that rate in the summer which most people do not see as bullish period is a clear indication that there will be many ATH to come. Will bitcoin get to $200k this year? It is not impossible but technically not that realistic with its volatility right now

What is next is the creation of a proper strategic reserve by a large country and more company treasuries. This is something that we have been waiting for for some time now.

Price movements are not that interesting compared to the events around them and those that are driving them.

No laws can control Bitcoin, so the countries that impose those laws will be the losers of this race.

We see the possibility of seeing Bitcoin go higher before the bull market ends. Maybe it could be more than $150k. We have already crossed $120k which was our initial expectation this year.

Our even bigger expectation was to cross $150k before the end of the year. There are still a few more months left before the end of the year which should be enough for Bitcoin to reach $150k. Maybe we will see Bitcoin go much higher in the next few days.

Some countries have already started legalizing Bitcoin, maybe in the future we will see some more countries, then Bitcoin will be in a higher position.

Bitcoin has reached another ATH of 123k$ and we have seen this thing many times that whenever price of Bitcoin goes up we have speculations of new ATHs. 150k$ from current ATH is not very difficult to achieve, all we need is current momentum or few positive global events for Bitcoin. The governments are only legalising what they can control i.e. centralised Bitcoin that goes through centralised exchanges. It's important to understand the difference between decentralised Bitcoin originally created by Satoshi and the centralised one residing on exchange like Binance.

I believe the opposite: increased acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin by governments and large institutions leads to a rise in its price, not that a rise in price leads to increased adoption.

Unless there is more adoption by new companies and governments taking strategic reserves of Bitcoin, it's unlikely we'll see Bitcoin rise to new record prices like $150K and above. Reaching these numbers requires significant liquidity entering the market, and this is achieved through the entry of new companies and increased adoption.

OP as Oshosondy points out you have gotten your calculations wrong.... in a
phenomenally incorrect way and by a factor of months in time

Half of $150k is $75k - last seen around December 2024, 7 months ago!

Whats next? only more adoption generally across the world. Most countries dont
necessarily class Bitcoin as illegal and for some time yet there will be countries
looking to control their citizens for fear that the entire population would flock to
Bitcoin which of course will never happen.

I do not see the need linking bitcoin's legality with price increase. The governments of most of these countries are already aware that bitcoin has the potential of increasing in value  over time. Bitcoin has witnessed series of ATHs since its creation, yet the government is still adamant. The only reason the government hates Bitcoin is because of decentralization; many of these governments will not wholeheartedly accept what they don't have full control over. Some of these politicians are acquiring bitcoin secretly and using it as a political tool to win elections. For the few who have made attempts to adopt bitcoin, let's just see how it goes.

Though a lot of people were initially doubting if Bitcoin price will be able to reach $150k but many experts had already predicted that it it's very likely hot that landmark before the end of the year and for experts to make such predictions, I believe they've already made very deep analysis of the market. Again, the recent widespread adoption of Bitcoin especially from governmental bodies in different countries including the country with the largest economy in the world is a strong reason for us not to doubt the possibility of $150k.

Now, to your question about if more countries will be legalizing Bitcoin, I think the answer is yes. Rising prices in most cases increases public interest, boost adoption and highlight Bitcoin's economic potentials especially to countries facing inflation, currency devaluation and other economic issues that Bitcoin brings solutions to. More government are now very likely to legalize Bitcoin as a means of attracting innovation as well as staying competitive in the evolving global digital economy.

Bitcoin's decentralization have always been the major reasons most governments are yet to legalize Bitcoin as it strips them the power to control but with the success Bitcoin have recorded already and the potentials it promises, most of them will be left with no option than to join the Bitcoin movement or be left out in the digital financial system.

When it comes to bitcoin price, then we should know that any price is attainable, we are just in July, and bitcoin price pumped to $123k yesterday, before dropping, I don’t think $150k is a price which we are going to say it’s too high for bitcoin to attain, we still having like 5 months before the ending of the year, so I won’t be surprise if bitcoin hit $150k or even pass the price which you mentioned. Nobody knows what bitcoin will worth within a specific period of time.

As we can see some countries have already legalized bitcoin already, but I don’t know maybe increase in bitcoin price will push some countries to legalize bitcoin, but I know even people that don’t really have interest in bitcoin will start developing interest in it just because of the price, most people are just after profit, and whenever you see bitcoin price pumping, that’s when you will see people saying positive things about bitcoin, so I believe the more bitcoin price keeps on pumping, the more people will start getting interest, and they will invest.

Bitcoin will keep doing wonders , at first most folk thought $100k wasn’t possible this year . And eventually bitcoin surpassed it creating a new ATH. Now it has also created another ATH around $123k+ and surely we are going to see another ATH this year and it might be sooner we can’t actually tell when but am positive that we are going to it $150k and don’t be surprise if we even go further beating $150k this bull run definitely going to be one of the best sofar in history .

Actually for countries to start legalizing Bitcoin, we all can't know for sure unless they came out to tell us that they are preparing to start buying Bitcoin. However we can not also know what the future of Bitcoin will become but we can keep on making lot of predictions because we all are believing that bitcoin will worth more and valuable in the future than the current amount it is right now. Right now, $150k is already sure because Bitcoin has broken alot of ATH currently.

We have to wait until it reach the price there. But the signs that Bitcoin shown is truly achieveable for $150k before this year ends.

There have always been scammers around and takes advantage of the lack of knowledge about Bitcoin and finances. For so long, it's been used as usual by these cons to scam people that they've probably have won some money or they've won some btc and they have to follow some instructions specifically, some deposits are required to be done. As for countries legalizing Bitcoin, as long as there is no clear rule on their jurisdiction, it means that everyone doesn't have to worry about it being banned.

No price is impossible with bitcoin. It will always achieve a significant amount as long as it’s given enough time to move forward. Although we can’t be certain if the next price will be a pump or dump, but one thing is certain, it’s price volatility will always lead bitcoin to reach another all time high.

And like what you’ve said OP, the good will always be paired with bad. Be wary with scammers then. The fact that bitcoin is highly profitable at the moment, and for sure a lot of new investors would rush entering the market, this is the best time also to be cautious on your action and decision making when it comes to bitcoin investment.

You're damn right, it's already happening! Peter Schiff is already creating some FUD since we are already getting close to our expectations for the year and  itocin has disappointed many that thought 150k was unrealistic. Since things don't come without bad news attached to it we already know that it's just a bit of what is going to happen! for me I think I will stick to this 150k even though bitcoin might end up suprising us with better price yet I think it's cool to be within a realistic speculation.

Bitcoin has had an extraordinary impact in just a few days, silencing critics who claimed Bitcoin was entering a bear market when the price reached $109k. It is highly likely that the price will now target $150k (hopefully), at least in this cycle.


It is important to understand that nearly all investment instruments carry risks, and Bitcoin is no exception. Therefore, we must remain vigilant against unscrupulous parties who often exploit such moments for personal gain. The crypto world offers great opportunities, but it also demands a high level of caution. Therefore, it is essential to remain diligent in evaluating everything.

Don't be surprised. People will always lose determination when bitcoin is not doing well. They will start thinking that bitcoin is going to crash soon and spread FUD everywhere but then once bitcoin exceeds their expectations they end up spreading crazy predictions like reaching 3 million in value already. I don't doubt it is gonna happen but it will not happen this year, I am fairly certain.

Whether we like to admit it or not, the truth is that when bitcoin was legalized, the demand for bitcoin increased significantly compared to when it was still illegal.
Just think, if the US government did not allow bitcoin ETFs to operate. Will we get billions of dollars in backrock or more institutions and companies pouring into the market? Let's face it, bitcoin wouldn't have been able to achieve global popularity and increase demand without governments legalizing it.

Legalizing bitcoin is a win-win solution, the government will collect a huge amount of tax while the demand for bitcoin will increase and push its price higher.

legalize in what form?
Investment assets or legalizing payments using Bitcoin.
Because to discuss these two things, we need to look at the policies of each country, and not all countries can reach the legalization stage regarding legal means of transaction, unless we're talking about investment assets.
I don't understand your point because in the investment context, there's no such thing as someone fooling anyone.
Bitcoin is not zero-sum because you sell to make a profit, and the buyer also makes a profit, so both sides are equal.
The choice of language may need some correction, because I see more of a misunderstanding of the use of Bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin will continue growing to make individual, institutions and governments to believe that bitcoin can play a good role by investing in bitcoin because that is the easiest way to improve economic in a country. Despite this is the highest price people have experience from bitcoin, doesn't mean those that have the knowledge of bitcoin don't know that the price of bitcoin will not reach this stage, for some countries to made bitcoin legal  in their countries, show that they know the value of bitcoin and what it can help the country to benefits in the future, and some of the government that saw positive results from bitcoin changed their mind to make it legal tender, so that every business man and woman in the country will benefit from bitcoin.

The current market situation is unrestrained. If the world's major institutions stop investing in Bitcoin, the price will fall. If they start accepting it, its price could exceed $150k by the end of this year.

Sure that’s how things work here , that’s why is good to also understand how bitcoin works. Most time those that just that don’t really understand how bitcoin works are the ones that easily lose determination when the market is moving in an opposite direction (dip ) , some think that bitcoin just meant to make money alone which is not true there are more to it than that. Though bitcoin is still going and we are definitely going to get there . The ATH am sure of this is $150k and above, so let’s watch how things plays out .

The market situation is fine, and what's happening is just a healthy correction, as there's no significant decline. There's no need to worry or overreact, as this is normal. Every time Bitcoin hits a new record high, some investors sell or take profits, which is normal.
And it's unlikely, if not impossible, that institutions will stop buying or accumulating Bitcoin. In fact, institutional investors continue to grow because they know Bitcoin is a profitable asset, a store of value, and resistant to inflation.
Bitcoin will reach $150,000, and it's only a matter of time. I'm optimistic it will happen by the end of the year or close to it. We've already surpassed $120,000 and even hit a new record high of $123,000, so just wait and be patient, because we will surely reach and surpass it in the long run.

I think it really depends on how the Genius Act goes.
I mean BTC won't die out but i think if the US passes the bill, there's gonna be a huge change in where the pump occurs in terms of sectors.

I reckon RWA and Tokenized Assets are gonna pump if the bill passes.
In fact, I went all in on Tokenized Assets at a prediction market on Which cryptocurrency sector will pump after Crypto Week?

https://predictgo.io/predictions/0xfc4e154d10de32304aaf90ca105426c0c1c551827557b60fb80d71089d653015

We are even thinking that it will touch $150,000 this year, moreover, we think that it will definitely not be wrong, but Bitcoin will step into this position. Since Bitcoin has succeeded in touching $123,000+, it will only take a few more runs to enter the position that many of us are hoping for. Currently, Bitcoin has been legalized in many countries where they are investing in Bitcoin with the aim of improving their finances.
I think that investing in Bitcoin and holding it for a long time will never be stupid, but it can be much more profitable. So we should never get excited by investing in Bitcoin and hold it with great patience for the time that Bitcoin will show its value in the future.

Of course he's talking about investing, I think you know that because that's all we're talking about in these days. Not many people are interested in using bitcoin for payments or as currency anymore, and that's the truth.

Bitcoin has its use cases and practical applications, but when it comes to speculation, trading…there is nothing wrong with calling it a zero-sum game. When someone sells for profit, there will definitely be someone who loses and that is the nature of finance, and bitcoin is also a financial market. No financial market can be profitable for both sellers and buyers, and bitcoin is no exception.

Yeah I am the same. It is quite hyped and to some extent surreal that the bitcoin could be hitting such new highs. A decade ago it appeared that the sum of 100 000 dollars has been the dream but now we are not that far away. When this keeps growing, there is no doubt that $150K will be on the table. However, when so much hype and money are involved, they also repel scammers and other sleazy individuals, and that is why you need to be even more careful. Another thing which I concur with is that long term with patience tends to work out. Time after time bitcoin has proven that it pays off those who feel that it is worthwhile to buy and those who do not panic at all.

Yes, Bitcoin will cross 150k this year. There was a time when common people were afraid to invest in Bitcoin due to its volatility. They thought that investing in Bitcoin would lead to a loss of money. But with time, everyone is realizing that Bitcoin is not a scam. Now people are investing heavily in Bitcoin. Also, I see many traders who have come out of their misconceptions and started investing in Bitcoin for the long term. I think this kind of confidence in Bitcoin will be enough for Bitcoin to cross 150k. So long term investment in Bitcoin is never foolish. It is always profitable. Also, day by day, big institutions in the world are showing interest in investing in Bitcoin. So if we consider all aspects, we will see it cross 150k this year.

If you are talking about the next movement of Bitcoin after this hype, obviously it will transition to a bearish market, we might read another batch of Bitcoin is doom thingy, and possibly there will be another batch of articles to be put on Bitcoin obituary topics.

Aside from the next market movement, I believe Bitcoin being adopted by politicians as their campaign focus will continue, and many government will follow the examples of the US states in making Bitcoin a reserve.  There will be lots of companies that will follow MicroStrategy, but somehow many of them will get disappointed when the market begins to dive down when the bear market takes place.

Price targets are superficial. They grab, they mislead, they almost never teach. Bitcoin at new highs is a spectacle, but it is never the real story. It is the story of sovereignty seeping back into the lives of people, one transaction, one node at a time.

Governments never intend to make it legal. They react, late and awkward. There will be countries that will all ain, not because they are visionary but because they are desperate. Think Turkey, Argentina where currencies are bleeding, and people are now wondering: what is money, anyway? Each large rally creates more scams. Very human nature, just in a new suit. Watch the cycles: innovation, speculation, manipulation, then (if we are lucky) education.  It is always the same thing, but louder every time. If you are here for freedom, you build, you self-custody, you teach. If you are here for profit, you get caught, sooner or later, in someone else's profit scheme.

The next chapter should be about the hard work: building antifragile tools, normalizing privacy, outsmarting the grifters, and making being careful a communal habit. This tech's just a skeleton while  the culture, the mindset, the shared stories are what will flesh it out.

If that were the case, then we can now see a number of countries legalizing Bitcoin as an investment asset and this would no longer be an issue.
When it comes to legal tender, I agree because it's not just about being unattractive there are many things that need to be changed such as regulations.

In any economic system, something is considered a zero-sum game, where there are those who benefit and those who lose.
But in this case, if we simplify it and the pattern is implemented correctly, both buyers and sellers benefit. So I call it a different thing, but it's up to each person to see the correlation based on their own perspective.
If there were no financial markets that could benefit both buyers and sellers, I'm not so sure this sector would have grown so rapidly.
Unless we're talking about the short term, there's little resemblance to a zero-sum relationship because there's no new value creation, which is why I don't attribute a zero-sum relationship to Bitcoin.

right now and the past year, since bitcoin has been so strong many people are pushing for a supercycle this is obviously not new i have heard this many times but people are expecting for the bull run to continue for eternity and bear run to never come so if bear run ever comes we will see fud more than ever after all the speculations of a supercycle
a lot of these companies bought when bitcoin was pumping when they should have waited for when bitcoin has declined so they will be able to maximize the cheap price

Companies like that would be able to tell their holders to cool down a bit, I hope: clearly, I imagine and already saw cases like that, where the dips of BTC would mind blow those trying to gain something and see that the BTC just is not always going up - but sometimes, it goes into the volatile are too.

This is also my prediction, the more corporate entities or institutions are buying and hodling we can expect more ATH in this circle that could beat our speculations. With the momentum that the current ATH happened I believe that $150k is possible anytime within this third quarter of 2025 and if institutions continues to pump their bags we can expect to see $200k in this bull run. With the level of Bitcoin adoption and accumulation I wouldn't allow anybody to tell me otherwise about the possibilities of seeing more ATH in this circle. I am expecting more institutions and governments to accumulate Bitcoin because everybody is seeing it's potentials.

Time marches on, and with it, more and more entities realize what can be achieved with BTC.

And that's truly wonderful - BTC just gets the position it needs, and the recognition too.

Bitcoin made it to $123,000 and there is more to know about this fact, and just little more pump will land us to $150,000 and we are also liable to going even more than that, because the market is more volatile and there is high tendencies we had the last all time high more sooner than later, just as some already purported that by the end of the year, but with the way we are seeing it now, bitcoin is likely to made it all time high anytime soon before we are done with the season.

Eventually, there will be a pullback, but we may never know when the demand would be halted in its tracks: maybe it will be tied to some events to come, or maybe would want to finally pour their liquidity further.

Yes, that's right, Bitcoin has shown the highest price and none of us have seen such prices before. As far as I can understand, with the rise in Bitcoin's prices, in a country there is nothing to do with Bitcoin legal. If Bitcoin in a country, then the legal system of that country has to be taken the most. And no matter how profitable Bitcoin, the government must take proper action. Because the most illegal work is done through Bitcoin. If a person can legalize his illegal wealth through Bitcoin within one of the Names. In this case, the country can face many problems, even though that country is economically improved by Bitcoin. Because most people are experiencing scam at the present. That's why not just by planning to legalize Bitcoin. the state should take steps to take care of the citizens.

That is true, and the possibility of Bitcoin giving us a mind-blowing price break before the end of this month is possible. If the price can really reach $125k before month end, the tendency of touching the $150k will be attained by the ending section of the year. Though, this all maybe price speculations, be there are some glimpse of reality so blur to properly visualize.

The rate of accepting the legal use of Bitcoin is getting wider spread these days, though, some countries still have their ban/restriction on it, but these all will die down, because it has been publicized that Banks tells their big investors/shareholders to put some of their funds into Bitcoin, as it is a good form of investment that yields well in a long run.

Scammers who seek to deceive are many. They have many ways, such as creating channels to offer certain things, creating fake clone sites, and even spreading links to hack certain systems when we unknowingly visit them.
Increasing the price of Bitcoin may not be a consideration for more countries to legalize it. But when more countries legalize Bitcoin, buy, and even use Bitcoin as an alternative payment in their countries, it will definitely help increase the price of Bitcoin.

If you talk about long term, you are not wrong. But bitcoin is not unique, speculative markets like stocks or the gold market are not zero-sum games in the long run.

But if compare all three, bitcoin is the market is most similar to a zero-sum game because the value of bitcoin is based on its expectation and scarcity. The investor's profit comes from other people paying higher prices. Unlike stocks, profits come from the intrinsic value of the company, stock prices increase due to the growth of technology and the company.

The Bitcoin market needs to be adopted more widely, needs to be applied more practically in life, instead of just being used for speculation. Only then is it truly a positive-sum like stocks. But in the short run, it's all a zero-sum.

I was.never skeptical about Bitcoin price to surge to $150k this year, but when I saw some people speculating price to reach $250k to $500k, that's where I became skeptical. Since price surge above $100k last year, I was always optimistic that before the end of 2025, Bitcoin must definitely surge past $120k and it just did that this month, I am not surprised. We are already halfway to $150k and before December, if the trend continues going up, it could get to $200k.

We would see a lot of these as research institutes and entities keep looking out for what might be the best ways to leverage the opportunities they might find in Bitcoin for themselves. Come with the government backing, it’s only nice they do so.

Bitcoin in today is no longer a currency that is circumvented by FUD and uncertainties. Come the supports, come investment decisions.

I thought we might have been at the start of a possible bullrun but, this wasn’t it even though, price pushed a little further and way too suddenly.

Legalization is on the way, east asian countries are preparing the regulation, some already embracing it like south korea.
Overall it's a bullish narrative, even $200k is possible as long as there's no big war.

Probably gonna consolidate for some time at current price then shoot up but i'm biased as heck since i also hold bitcoin.

It is quite possible that the number of countries that will legalize bitcoin will increase. But for that a legal framework needs to be prepared first. I think that everyone is now waiting and observing how things will unfold in the United States. Even though Trump signed an order about a bitcoin reserve everything is still relatively up in the air because the United States also does not yet have a legal framework that would regulate the circulation of cryptocurrencies. Everything will be built on this with the US first adopting and approving the legal framework. I think that based on these laws the legal systems in other countries will be built. After that the acceptance of bitcoin will move much faster and the fact that bitcoin is growing and becoming a reserve asset for many companies is a very good sign.

Surely, some will take more time to embrace BTC - but most of the global players will be there eventually, and BTC will be acknowledged properly.

Right now I am not thinking about $150K, not even thinking about price range. If you limit the price range, then it likely seems like the end of the game. But the Bitcoin game won't end ever, and it will continue to grow; no one could prevent it. Don't bind Bitcoin with a price; let it grow constantly. Bitcoin will keep continuing to create history or new ATH and won't stop it. So next for Bitcoin is just ATH and then ATH again. This should be next for Bitcoin, to be honest.

I am not thinking of any unrealistic matter, because we are witnessing ourselves how Bitcoin is breaking its own ATH history. That's the power of Bitcoin. Since the world's institutional investors want to invest in Bitcoin and want to reserve it, including the US, we don't need to look back. Though sometimes we may see a dump for various reasons, ATH is next. So change your mind and don't limit the Bitcoin price.

Bitcoin history of breaking records proves its strength and growing interest from institutional investors and even governments like US is major new factor. This shows more mature market with deep pockets and long term holding plans which should push Bitcoin higher even after temporary drops. And that is right that there will be occasional dips but these are just minor bumps on road to more ATHs. And Exactly you are saying right that we should not put limit on Bitcoin price because its potential for continuous unlimited growth is just beginning.

Bitcoin's price just shows how much BTC is acknowledged and wanted by all the parties: the demand goes up and down, but overall, BTC pushes more and more to be something bigger on the broader world stage.

Does that mean that bitcoin would be profitable this year?

The price of Bitcoin surpassed $120,000 today, marking a new record high. The next target may be $135,000 to $150,000. Still, the specific trend is influenced by multiple factors, including macroeconomic conditions, regulatory policies, technological advancements, and market sentiment, so it still depends on the specific situation.

Yeah, the rally will continue, there aren't events that would change it and I hope it will stay that way.

We don't need the Bear knocking on our doors, the demand and confidence is still high.

I am interested to see the speed of adoption for government and corporations. It seems to be happening fast, though only 100-150 private US companies have it in their balance sheet. It will be interesting when we see major corporations joining in the buying (especially if they buy on spot market).

The price movement has been sudden which is always a cause for concern of sustainability, though similarly we have seen this kind of speed before (and really, from a percentage perspective, it's a lot slower now than it once was. It just seems fast as 10% now is nearly $12,000 in price movement. Before, this was 10 - 100% of the price, depending on time period!)


It could be the catalyst for a further push. However I did recently read about mining power consolidating, and holdings shifting. This could all happen on OTC desks, and may not effect the market too much. Though it's a new risk on the horizon that we should keep updated on. We can only see what happens from here, it's all exciting either way to see Bitcoin where it is today :)

Yea you're right this good asset called Bitcoin has a good history and I think that's why it has an unimaginable dominance among other digital currencies and I believe that's one of the reasons why individuals, countries and institutions have now find it as a very good asset to reckon with, sometimes when I try to visualize the fluntuation of the price of Bitcoin, it makes to conclude that without this fluntuation may be Bitcoin would've not been in existence, I think Satoshi was very exceptional in that very part, to me I think there shouldn't be any excuse from anyone that feels that Bitcoin is actually for the rich, personally what you called occasional dip is what I call temporally dip and it won't stop because that's the original nature of Bitcoin that keeps it in existence.

Bitcoin is the best option of a safe haven for these entities, that's why some take interest in it already: it's not a gold rush for it per se, but the adoption grows, and with it - demand.

Bitcoin history is always good, but now all depend on present and future both are doing good because in last few days touching new highs mean things are going on track and future is also looking bright $120K bearer is already crossed now for me next is $150K most chances this will be also crossed.
2026 is going to be new milestone year for Bitcoin because 2025 already doing good and have good things adoption is already increased and many countries are working on bringing better policies which will give good boost hopefully $150K will be touched.
As predicted if this happens before start of 2026 this could be huge success but most chances next year It's going to be had more success and new ATH throughout.

Always await something unexpected from such a market, the rally is still strong and I too believe it won't stop, however: I am eager to see whether something would as big as to instill so much fear to change the course we are heading in the short-term..

The price of Bitcoin, which we expect to see this year reach $148k or more, is also moving forward in terms of Bitcoin's popularity and will continue to move forward in the future, as well as the acceptance of Bitcoin will increase relatively, the price of Bitcoin will increase a lot, there are many investors who want to hold Bitcoin for the long term but there are some investors who are afraid of Bitcoin price fluctuations and sell their Bitcoins, while many investors take risks to invest for the long term and have full faith in Bitcoin and that faith enables them to earn high profits, Bitcoin has been able to increase its value since history and Bitcoin has become a very valuable asset at present.

Bitcoin has being consistent over the years and still remain the no. 1 cryptocurrency with a max liquidity. There is every possibility that Bitcoin could hit a million dollars in the coming years to come though the market has seen lots of ups and down but there still that slightest possibility. And holders of Bitcoin would definitely be in for a huge profits during the times including countries legalizing the use of Bitcoin as it could be used for daily transactions as well.

The price of Bitcoin has risen so far deserves a lot of praise. It has fulfilled our expectations very quickly. No one can say exactly how much its price will increase this year and how high it will reach. If the world situation improves, it will show something more spectacular.

However, it would not be right to make aggressive investments in haste after seeing the rise in price. If you have a long-term attitude, it is better to invest patiently.

The prices of other coins are also increasing along with Bitcoin, since the prices of other coins have not started increasing yet, so I expect it to go further.

150k and 200k have got to be rifht around the corner. Bitcoin is maturing and has really come a long way in just a few short years. I remember when everyone was still so skeptical about it before it became mainstream and look at us now! The space is growing like crazy

What you are saying is right. Bitcoin has pass the stage where people was seeing it as a scam .as it stands is not just individuals that is going into bitcoin investment, institutions and some government are being to accumulate bitcoin.The growth of $150k to $200k can happen very soon with the way the market is going. However it will be a bad idea to be chasing price, it is only those that have a good knowledge of what bitcoin is that will really enjoy it. I believe even with the price now it is never too late to invest in bitcoin.

this conversation hasn't have existed since 2009

Those who have estimated the price of Bitcoin at $150k certainly think it is possible, because the price of Bitcoin has reached a very low price to a high price. So, one should never say impossible about the price of Bitcoin, because with patience, the change of time and the positive perception of Bitcoin in different countries helps in increasing the price of Bitcoin.
You usually think of the beginning of 2023 when the price of Bitcoin reached $15.5k, and today in 2025 the price of Bitcoin touched $123.2k. There is no end to the price of Bitcoin, the more patience you have, the more you will see the price of Bitcoin rise.


Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5522234.msg64830335#msg64830335)
You should notice and enter this link that different countries and companies are holding Bitcoin, especially the positive feedback from different countries helps the price of Bitcoin increase even more.
You can see that the only big company in the world, Microstrategy, has 601550 Bitcoins, the more Bitcoin is held, the more Bitcoin price will increase. Still, we find positive aspects of holding Bitcoin from different countries and different companies.

Bitcoin price went massively up last year after the launch of Bitcoin ETF. Normally Bitcoin price goes up after few months of halving but 2024 halving is different because price went up before halving. This is clear example that how entry of institutes is affecting price of bitcoin. But it's also a reality that Bitcoin has survived and went up only due to support of it's community before the institutes made their entry. It's good thing for bitcoin that big institutes are now embracing it which is good for Bitcoin and it's community.

We don't have to generalize that Bitcoin has gone past the stage where people was seeing it as a scam because there are still those who don't believe in the potential of Bitcoin regardless of it's success so far and I also believe such skeptical mentality will never stop even with the continuity of time and more achievements, but however that's is on their own part of living in the darkness and falling to accept the light and civilization Bitcoin has brought to man kind, $150k of course can be achievable within this year and it seems realistic.


Making aggressive investment is not wrong when you invest within your financial ability without over doing it but you are right about investment not to be made out of fomo as a result of the current pump in the market.

But governments have only accepted and legalized bitcoin in recent years, and institutions have only entered the market since the ETF was approved. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has been around for years and has grown significantly before governments and institutions intervened.

So it can be both . As bitcoin became so popular and stopping it seemed impossible, governments had no choice but to adopt it to make it easier to manage. Meanwhile, bitcoin is unlikely to become popular globally without government approval and institutional push . Especially as bitcoin gets bigger and bigger, and if it wants to grow further, it needs more money to flow into the market , so there is no denying the role of governments and institutions in helping bitcoin reach $100k or when it becomes globally popular in the future.

Yes, Bitcoin existed before government approval, and it will continue to exist even if governments do not adopt it. Government adoption increases Bitcoin's spread and price, but banning or not adopting it by governments will not stop Bitcoin.

As for the role of a rising price in increasing government adoption, I don't believe it will, because governments are not concerned with Bitcoin's price, but rather with its reliability as a hedge against inflation, a reserve asset, and a long-term store of value.

Yes it is in line with the real trend mate, I liked your “no limits” mindset. We are currently hitting new ATH around $123K+, with $14.8 billion in spot-ETF inflows this year. The good thing is institutional whales piling in, with investors like BlackRock, family offices and public companies holding BTC in reserve. We are all predicting a range from $140K by year-end to $250K+ in 2025. Still, price declines are possible, pullbacks are normal, but long-term momentum supported by institutional capital and macro trends means Bitcoin is unlikely to end up breaking records. ATH today, ATH tomorrow, that’s the game. ;)

I don't know but Incase you forgot to note, we are already in 2025 so maybe you are preferring to the price of $250k to be in next year 2026 that's if am not confused by what you wrote there.

And again why is no one actually talking about the bear market that will supposedly come after this bull season because as the statistical records shows, there is always a bull season after the four year complete circle and also a bear market that comes after it but although their is no certainty that the circle will continue but it's really absurd seeing everyone totally tied to the bull market run.

Exactly that is key truth about Bitcoin journey. It grew significantly and gained popularity on its own through individual users seeking or new financial system, long before governments or big institutions got involved. And when Bitcoin became too big to ignore governments started to regulate it for easier management especially with  approval of ETFs started to invest heavily bringing in massive funds and broader reach needed for Bitcoin to truly become globally popular asset and potentially hit new price milestones $100000+. Bitcoin early success came from its independent spirit and its future widespread adoption.

Well, if it goes to this point this year, it is not wrong, but its being so pumped all at once can create new problems for crypto, such as theft and other coin concerns, so this price may be for next year. If it touches this price by next year, then this is a pretty good price prediction and similarly, it can catch a good peak in the next few years and therefore it will be quite good.

I think we should ourselves work on increasing the adoption on bitcoin through locals before thinking of something new.

The advocacy for anything related to bitcoin will take time and a collective voice from the people. To be able to generate that we need a good number of people who are supporting it.

At present only politicians seem to taking the helm on this but locals also need to start doing it.

Most believe that history will repeat itself and the market cycle will continue until the end of the year. Meanwhile, we still have nearly 4 months left until the end of the year, so it's understandable why no one is talking about bear season yet. Or some people think this is a super cycle and will last longer than expected because there are big changes in the market with the participation of ETFs and governments.

But like any other financial market, sooner or later a bear market must come. Those who are always immersed and intoxicated in victory, and subjectivity will have to pay the price.

I do not know how someone judges zero-sum based on their respective perceptions but in the context of knowledge that I know, it is nothing more than someone who gets profit and one other person suffers losses.
If it is related to Bitcoin, I see zero-sum unfit for being embedded because when the seller gets a profit and who buys to get assets, and vice versa when the buyer returns to sell when the price increases he also gets profits.
Bitcoin is more ideal to be applied as a long -term investment based on some of its advantages.

People's perspective may be different and I believe it is based on what we know because no one has lost when investing in Bitcoin, unless they make mistakes and are panicked when Bitcoin has decreased.

Many people start buying bitcoin only when it’s being talked about everywhere, and that usually happens when it’s growing strongly, without delving into the cyclical nature of its growth — just buying. And when its price drops, many start exiting quickly to minimize losses. I heard this idea a long time ago, when everyone starts talking about buying bitcoin, it’s already time to sell it, and vice versa.

FOMO makes people wild sometimes, but on BTC, I tend to believe we all understand what comes after the rally would be halted for real, and we would all be ready to use this situation accordingly.

Bitcoin has already surpassed expectations as it's price is rising every day what is next for bitcoin is that the future of Bitcoin is full of hopes and promises because Bitcoin is hitting all time high this year already because of the success that Bitcoin has recorded so far there are allot of countries that are showing interest in Bitcoin because of the economic benefit that Bitcoin offers.


Criminal minded people has been there always as they will try and hide under the umbrella of Bitcoin to scam people so the most important thing is that investors in Bitcoin should be careful do that they don't fall victims to such people because alot of person's are leveraging on the opportunities that are abound in Bitcoin

Bitcoin future is looking best as we are watching this Bitcoin for the years and nobody was in loss who invested in a long term because market always go up and nobody could be in loss after investment in this but they need to learn that when to buy that Bitcoin and when there will be price increase and when there will be bubble which will burst and then the investors who invested at high price could be in loss . But you should buy the Bitcoin when market situation is not good and when market will go up you will be in good profitPeople are facing the good time because we saw Bitcoin at 15k $ before 3 years and after we saw pump and dump in price but now price of Bitcoin is good and best time to sell .

People are starting to realize how bitcoin can be a hedge for value in uncertain economic conditions so that investment in Bitcoin is a good choice.
When the condition of the decline that occurs in Bitcoin actually you also do not need to sell when the investment underway is long -term, except for those who invest using short -term patterns to generate profits.
Bitcoin is much better when invested using long -term patterns because there are many advantages that can make people experience maximum profit.

People recommend not buying at a high price when someone is just starting to start or may use a short -term pattern for investment that is lived because for beginners it is feared that buying at high prices will experience panic at the time of correction.

In my opinion, investing in Bitcoin is not a zero-sum game in the way we usually understand it. In a zero-sum game, if one player wins, the other loses the same amount. This is what happens in poker, blackjack, or dice. When investing in Bitcoin, the price rises because the number of available coins is limited and demand from investors, companies, and governments increases. In other words, the price rises because of faith in Bitcoin technology.

Bitcoin has proven its worth over the years constantly breaking all time highs so its really no surprise it attained such high.

Yes, i think there would possibly be potential occasions of scam scheme with bitcoins publicity as newbies with little or no knowledge of the bitcoin policy would want to be a part of its project and can fall into wrong hands.

I believe this bull run has being a bit different from the others as we have not fully seen the greens as it should be so i cant really tell if we are currently in the bull season or not and i think this bull season might take a longer time than expected.

With popular statistical analysis, this might be the last massive bitcoin drive we would ever see in a long while with frequent possible analysis  of having a bull run after four years and a bear season after that but this might be a bit different.

This would always be a problem for newbies as bitcoin reaching new highs would bring about interest in the bitcoin system and new investors would be brought into the system and without the knowledge, they can fall prey to scams.

I think this is a topic worth discussing and a guideline can be provided to fish these scams hiding under the umbrella of bitcoin.

Yes, and that's the most common recommendation, but for a novice who's just starting out and has a fever for holding BTC, what they can do is buy using the DCA method and it works well there, They can also keep track of the price, since there are always setbacks that can be taken advantage of to buy more BTC.

If we see it as a long-term investment, it's much better than saving in the fiat banking system which, in my opinion, is very corrupt since there's inflation and deflation in BTC So it's basically an investment for the smartest people who want and can be rich in the future, The train is still passing, and they should grab it.

If institutional investors keep buying up Bitcoin with the same rigor as before, we should see 150K sooner than expected.

What we really need for Bitcoin is innovation in the Bitcoine ecosystem. Bitcoin itself is amazing but there needs to be more amazing stuff build on top and around it. Otherwise it will stay the same as now: a store of value, "digital gold". But it can be so much more.

Lightning is an example but it still is not as widely adopted as it could be.

Not yet? Only $123k. There are still about 5 months left to reach that goal.

When it comes to price predictions, it’s hard to say for sure. There are estimates of a decline, but it’s unclear because, as of this moment, Bitcoin’s price movement hasn’t yet reached $110k.
Since $123k was reached, the lowest price I’m aware of is $114k, which made me think the bull run might be ending. But so far, the price hasn’t dropped significantly. These are good signs.

One thing is very common, whenever Bitcoin price goes up we have such discussion that Bitcoin will soon be at such and such high value. While in case Bitcoin value goes down we have speculations of new lows. Right now Bitcoin price is going up that's why we have discussion that apart from 150k what other high value Bitcoin will attain this year.

One thing we have to note is that there are Bitcoins of Satoshi era that are dormant are moving and selling. We can have a bear season after whales sell off at current high value. Nothing can be said with authority about future price of Bitcoin, we have to plan our Bitcoin investment strategy with caution.   

The price of Bitcoin has taken us all by surprise because no one could have imagined that the price of Bitcoin would increase, but in what way.

The current price has proved that there is fortune in Bitcoin. We can never predict what will really happen in the next few years. However, the price trend shows something that we can rely on. It's telling us that it will become more valuable than today.

But I believe it was not just the price that people had to consider upon acquiring Bitcoin. I was looking forward to seeing people having Bitcoin as a means of currency, not just an investment. The interest of the people is growing quite well, and that is because those who thought negatively before have already changed their insights into positive ones.
