Bitcoin Forum

The year is almost in it last quarter with few months to go but for bitcoin, investing now is not too late.

There are lots of suggestions pointing to the possibility of bitcoin getting to $250k by the end of the year, how realistic is that speculation?

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

Well for one something bullish is Jerome Powell stating that rate cut is coming in september
Which usually encourages investing and saving.
$250K is almost 140% increase from current price and that's alot especially with Bitcoin current price
And relatively lower liquidity.

All one have to know is all Investment comes with a risk.

$250k price tag of Bitcoin this year is all speculation(it's not certain). Don't put all thought and hope on that, Bitcoin will reach that price this year($250k). Sell your Bitcoin at a reasonable high price of $150k- $180k, to buy back when the market begins to experience a bearish market because hopefully by next year Bitcoin will experience a decline in price

I have been seen such news, that bitcoin can get to $200000 or $250000 this year. Bitcoin is an asset of value that its price will always increase after a long period of time but do not always believe what you see on the news. Make your own analysis and speculation.

Bitcoin will definitely get to $250000 but I do not think it would be in this year.

The possibility of Bitcoin getting to $250k between now and the end of the year or the start of a new bear market is not certain, otherwise it would be profitable to buy now and see that price hit $250k soon but you can not be assured of that. If you don't want to miss out on what ever price might do next, you can invest but also look beyond the your short term expectations, have a double plan that when price doesn't get to $250k this year, it will by next bull season.

How possible is it to get to $250k? We are all going to be here until the end of 2025, and we will witness it ourselves; no one is vanishing before the end of the year.

Since Bitcoin has been able to reach $124k this year, if it can break it and get to $130k before the end of September, then our chances of getting to $200k are very high, but for $250k, I don't know how possible that is, nor will I say it's impossible for that to happen.

Bitcoin is, in my opinion, not a get-rich-quick investment anymore.  Successful investing is typically about a plan you have, and not about getting rich quickly by speculating in the short term.

But why would this be a "red flag"?  There are no "red flags" that indicate something bad will happen.  Maybe a better description for focusing on a short-term, massive return is a "risky or potentially bad idea".

Why did you not outline those suggestion?

Any suggestion about Bitcoin reaching $250K are all speculations and not true until the market pumps in that direction which isn't certain.

Not a bad investment plan but short term investments are not advisable, there is always a case to imagine if you invest and price doesn't get upto $250K by the end of year, instead it deteriorate, can you withstand seeing your investment drop over 50% in your portfolio and not sell? Bitcoin is safe if you invest with the right amount and use a long investment approach, as you see Bitcoin is volatile and dips and bull can happen anytime.

250k is froth, check your sources for excess caffeine.    No price is out of limits but you have to have deploy some kind of trajectory and trend ongoing to start saying things like that, we do not have that currently.

We got drift and we got a good positive bias over long term but high prices can mean we just stay high and slow and 150k is best you see this whole year.  Cannot be eliminated as a possibility but we can estimate based on current trends, nothing is saying 250k is fair not if you consider half the days left are non trading.    The ideal is high volume confirmation so it has to be working days etc.

There is a lot of speculation about the price of Bitcoin and its skyrocketing price trend. Many analysts and institutions have published their own reviews on where the price of Bitcoin will reach by the end of this year, but they are based on assumptions. Some institutions and individuals have said that the price of Bitcoin is likely to exceed $180k -$200k by the end of this year. You can arrange the credibility issue in accordance with the market or on your own investment perspective.

You should consider long term accumulation rather than expecting short term returns from Bitcoin. You should consider Bitcoin as an asset now, not a commodity. You should focus on continuing  regularly. I am doing this because I know that the Bitcoin strategy will be great for me in the future.

Do not put yourself at risk, accumulate Bitcoin through discretionary income. Be prepared for any price it can rise or fall at anytime.

Unrealistic.

I know that anything can happen for Bitcoin, but to see it doubling in just a span of less than 6 months? I don't think that's realistic at all knowing that it never happened, or maybe it happened during the early years of it, but currently, it's harder for Bitcoin to go up and double in just a short amount of time just because of how much money it is needed for Bitcoin's price to go up.

For me, Bitcoin will not go to as high as $250,000 for this year, and not even reach $200,000, and not even reach $150,000 as well. I might be wrong with the last one since there's a realistic chance that it might happen, but the first 2 is the ones that I don' think that will happen. As for buying now, well if you believe that Bitcoin's price will reach $250,000 this year then yes, but if not then no. Simple as that.
Speaking of Papa Powell, his speech a few hours ago really pumped the US Stock market and the crypto market as well because he stated on that speech that the current economic state of the country might push the FED to an interest rate cut this upcoming month.

Take note that they "MIGHT" do it, and yet the market pumped like crazy and many got liquidated on that one that's for sure.

It's quite realistic considering previous ATHs in the four-year cycle. While Bitcoin can usually surpass them based on performance, we never know how likely it is to reach that level by the end of the year. Buying now and hoping for a large profit by the end of the year during the upward trend we've discussed isn't dangerous, and even if Bitcoin doesn't reach that price by the end of the year, it shouldn't be a major problem for investors.

As long as people understand the investment process and have a plan to deal with the worst-case scenario, even if it does occur, it shouldn't be a major issue. The problem lies in the sharp decline, where deciding to sell Bitcoin out of panic during such conditions will result in losses, and if not, it shouldn't have any effect.

Should've made your own analysis honestly. If you're not so sure then maybe you should rethink it. Me as a long term holding very sure that 250k can be reached but it can be anytime. Personally even if the price is going down I won't budge because I'm holding for long term.
So basically see yourself whether it aligns with your plan of holding and whether you're sure with the price gain. Nothing ever 100% obvious with investing but $250k is quite realistic.

Buying Bitcoin now will be  a good decision. That is because you have the opportunity to make a big profit in the future. So it will not be too late to invest in Bitcoin now. But we don't know if Bitcoin can hit $250k by December. Even though that still realistic to have that speculation. So we can wait until December to see what will happen. I suggest you invest in Bitcoin for the long term so you don't have to worry if Bitcoin does not increase by December. You will still be accumulating more if the price is not increased.

It's never too late to start investing, so start now.
Besides, we can't determine whether the end of the year will be the last quarter. ::)

This is a bit unrealistic, as people are free to speculate whatever they want, but a price of $150K is much fairer. :D

If Bitcoin reaches $250K by the end of the year, that's not a bad sign—it means you'll have a significant profit, right? 
If everyone knew that, they'd all switch to Bitcoin as their investment.

If you only plan to invest for the short term, specifically from now until the end of the year, I have no investment advice for you.

I just have one advice that, bitcoin is unpredictable and not many people can predict bitcoin accurately. The value of Bitcoin depends on many factors such as supply and demand, macroeconomic situation, geopolitics, it does not depend on the wishes and thoughts of the crowd. I mean, just because everyone is optimistic and predicting that the price will hit $250k or $1 million by the end of the year, doesn't mean that it's definitely going to happen.

$250k is a big target and I am not optimistic that bitcoin can reach this target before the bull season ends.

I would say it's more likely than not, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.


For me, yes, in general it is a red flag, but a red flag that you, as a person, are showing when you think about investing gambling in bitcoin in such the short term. Something much more reasonable would be to have a time horizon of at least 4 years.

Investing in bitcoin for us is never too late, especially for those interested in coming in for the first time, however, we have to ensure that we make use of the best and most suitable strategy on this, because we cant afford to invest and then the market begins to go opposite our direction, we may go into loss, however, except that we are able to exercise some patience while holding for a long time that it may takes for it to pump up.


$250,000 is what can happen this year and it may not happened until after the next halving coming in 2028, we cant predict how the market will go, we only have the expectation that the bull may continues and also the market will always pump and be favorable to investors and particularly those that were holding, most likely before the end of the year, we may have up to $150,000 but not sure of $250,000.


It all depends on how we can be able to hold, if we expect for this and it happens, then you're in profit, but if it doesn't, then you probably have to continue holding till the market is in favor of you, probable at another bullrun season.

Don't buy bitcoin because of the news of the price reaching $250k by December because that's not possible. Bitcoin hasn't touched $150k which no one knows if that price will be possible before the bears take over the market. Bitcoin price will surely reach $250k in future but not in this circle.

If you want to buy bitcoin, don't think of quick profits within a short period of time because bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme so that, you don't get disappointed and sell at loss when the price is against you. Buy and hodli for at least one circle.

It's obvious like you may not know that it's totally a red flag to say anyone investing in bitcoin now will make such profits in the just few months before the year runs out. Maybe you don't know speculations is different from predictions or less say the $250,000 speculations is just what some individuals are predicting in hopefulness. Meaning it's not guaranteed. You just have to understand that there're different prices in speculations about what bitcoin Price will sit on in the short. Not arguable, most will come to pass at it due time but not at the time of speculators or analysts expectations. We also anticipate for $1,000,000 but all that will only be achievable in the long term somewhere unknown.
So advising anyone to invest on bitcoin for short term profits just by what you hears as speculations is totally wrong. Be more honest out there, bitcoin will get to $250,000 and above, both that's time is unpredictable. So don't misleading anyone that they can be successful if invest on bitcoin in this short term.
Anything can happen and moreover, you can't tell what will be the max price of bitcoin this year nor when the bull event will be over for the bear market.

Speaking of investment, of course we can do it anytime while there is a will and opportunity or capital support to invest, as far as I know the investment nature in the long run as has been done by those who are successful in the crypto market.

And when talking about speculation, of course many speculations have different understanding, of course all of that to Bali in each, but I personally for the price of $ 250k seems impossible It will happen this year or at the end of the year, there is something real support and a definite reason to reach the price of $ 250K, even so we hope Bitcoin will be the best of all time.

Keep it realistic of 150k USD and not 250k USD. At present we are having problems crossing the 120k USD level and thus keep the expectations lower and slower. Of course we might touch 250k USD in some future but its a long way to go now, every 10k change in price will need to consolidate first before moving forward.

Investing now, tricky because price is already quite high. Anything around 110k USD is buying point and anything above 120k USD is a selling point. Good returns might be possible towards the end of the year, but a crash back to 90k is also possible during the upcoming holiday season.

Each person should set their own goals and those goals should be based on their own analysis or expectations. Because while a target of $150k before the bull run ends sounds very realistic, at the end of the day, no one can guarantee or be certain that bitcoin will reach this target before the bear run comes. All are just predictions, and may or may not be correct.

If OP has vision and wants to invest long term, he can buy bitcoin now and combine it with DCA strategy. But if he just wants to speculate and get rich quick, I don't think buying bitcoin at this point is a wise decision. He will face more risks than opportunities for profit.

Although Bitcoin is a valuable asset, when opinions like that arise, there is a concern that it could create a bad situation for novice investors who might get caught up in the news. People might sell their real assets to buy Bitcoin at the current price, believing that Bitcoin will reach $250k this year. If it doesn't happen, who will be blamed? Or is there anyone who will take responsibility?
If you don't have confidence, never rely on others' opinions. Personally, I believe Bitcoin will reach $250k, but not this year.

Nobody can accurately answer that question because Bitcoin is volatile and the market can swing to anyhow the demand and supply tetermines so if you are not in a hurry to take profit it is better to keep holding onto your stash. With the way the market is now I don't confidently think that we can see Bitcoin at $250k this year but ofcourse I'm just speculating based on my own sentiment. What is important to know is that if Bitcoin doesn't hit $250k ATH this year or in this season it will surely happen sometime in the future because it has the potentials.

The good news that has been happening lately has indeed had a positive impact on the market, the price has increased significantly, even $ETH has reached its latest high price (NEW ATH), this is very good news for its holders, including myself who keep a few tens of percent in the form of Ethereum because i am working on a retroactive project, this is very exciting, besides getting an allocation from the project, i can also benefit from the price increase.


The $250k price you said, i personally dare to say it will be difficult to realise in this cycle. However, in the next cycle it will be possible. I also believe that we are already at the end of the bull market, we have a few months left before the bear market comes.

Planning investments with the expectation of short-term profits usually involves risks that may be psychologically unacceptable if the expected returns are too high.
There is nothing wrong with the initial goal of seeking profits from selected investment assets. It is better if people can act wisely on what they have planned with the results they will receive within a certain period of time.

Bitcoin can rise and fall at any time. In my opinion, one must be prepared for that reality. If one is solely hoping that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by December 2025, I fear that if that does not happen, one might be disappointed because the returns from Bitcoin's price appreciation are better suited for long-term expectations.

$250k or even $350k was the target for many, as bitcoin quickly surpassed $100k by the end of 2024. But those predictions and expectations quickly dissipated and were downgraded when bitcoin did not perform really well and meet people's expectations. Most have lowered their expectations to $150k, and many are skeptical about even that target, let alone bitcoin hitting $250k before the end of the year.

If you decide to invest in bitcoin right now just because you believe it will hit $250k and give you a return of over 140%. Let me be blunt, this is a pretty bad investment plan, when you just want to get rich quick and invest based on other people's predictions without doing your own research.

Anything could happen, but I would never advise someone to invest with that approach. Unless you are someone who really knows and understands how to profit from Bitcoin investments, you might think like that and do it. Of course, with the risks you take on yourself.
Creating that mindset will foster an understanding among new investors that Bitcoin is an asset that can generate profits in a short time. It might happen, but there are other possibilities that may not be known.

We have just few months to go and that is literally a very short while. So with the experiences we have acquired if really understood the concept of Bitcoin price ranging beyond certainties, don't we think it is even wrong to encourage anyone to invest on Bitcoin that they would be successful in this short while?

For OP, $250K is certain in the forthcoming but uncertainty when it is  going to come. But while being positively optimistic that we are still riding on the bull market, it is okay in the short sighted to anticipate for lesser values like the $150K+ while we expect more on the basis of price increase. But on a twice thought, on what value would it be craving for little profits? Because, investing now regardless of the current price and hope to sell when it is $150 would be very paltry unless we have to maximize our risks of investing with a whole lot of money before we can make significant profits.

On the risk, side, is it worth it with your emotions if in case the price never reach the benchmark of your expectation as a result of short term goal?
Seriously, there should be a rehearsal for newbies before investing on Bitcoin because the more we chases Short term goals is the more state of risk we find ourselves.

I can't know if it will be 250k by the end of the year or somewhere in 2025. But I can say that it will be higher than this, we are going to see 130k+ that much I am aware. This is mainly because we are showing off great strong bull movements so far, and this has happened before so historically we are aware of what's going on and nothing that complicated at the moment. This is why it should not be that complicated here neither, it could be very easy to decide.

What we are seeing right now is something that happened 4 years ago and 8 years ago, and maybe even 12 years ago (not sure if 2013-2014 one counts) so it's easy to predict the same thing will happen here as well and not going to be shocking to see it repeat again.

Bitcoin is known for its long-term effectiveness in terms of investment.  People who seek short-term investment with Bitcoin often burn themselves.  So I suggest people who aim short-term profit with Bitcoin investment to think multiple times.

For me, the $250k price for BTC is somehow too steep to achieve. I am not saying it is impossible but it is leaning to it since the timeframe is too short and Bitcoin market is moving towards the bear market transition.

Why not take a step back, think, and consider a plan for a long term investment with Bitcoin.  I believe it is much safe that way.

Do you know anything about FOMO?
You are probably suffering from that fever and you should be careful. Why do you have to wait until Bitcoin goes past its previous all-time high by two times before you start thinking about buying? Why not when it was still at $30 - 40K unless if you are doing long term DCA.

As a person who has witnessed some few bull runs, I call it a bad plan vs buying in the bear market, but if you trust your gut, go ahead and buy.

The $250k price is still just speculation; no one can guarantee Bitcoin will reach that figure by the end of this year. The positive side is optimism and confidence in Bitcoin's ability to reach that figure, so it's worth acting now to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible before it's reached.
Bitcoin has proven its worth as the most sought-after asset worldwide. Not only retail investors, but institutional investors are also starting to view Bitcoin as a profitable asset for the future. Large countries are also starting to accumulate Bitcoin as part of their national reserves. This phenomenon indicates that Bitcoin could reach $250k or more in the future. Even if Bitcoin doesn't reach that level by the end of this year, sooner or later we will see Bitcoin reach its highest peak.

Agree. For sure, most people who are telling what OP said are already underwater or just making some hype.
There's no wrong in prediction with these kinds of numbers, but in the end, it will be up to you.

Some people including me, I better advise to zoom out the chart and for me, it will never be always late to buy Bitcoin.

So, an asset that can double the money in just 4 months is still considered "not that bad".

Can I know the average return of investment in general and how fast it should be to double your money in order to be "good"?

It's a big expectation to hope Bitcoin price cross $250K in the end of this year.

If someone expects Bitcoin to reach $250k by December, they need to have solid analysis to support their prediction. If they simply believe without any evidence or reasoning to back it up, they are essentially gambling, hoping Bitcoin will reach that point.

But I think reaching $250k by December is a bit unrealistic. The current Bitcoin price is still around $110k, meaning it would need to more than double in just a few months, which is quite difficult. However, if someone believes Bitcoin can reach $250k by December, that's fine, they may have a different analysis. But it’s important to understand that if someone invests based on such analysis, they need to consider the risks and prepare for the possibility that their prediction might be wrong.

There are only 2 times I’ve ever told someone not to invest in Bitcoin. At $20K in 2017 and at $120K in 2025. Let us hope I was wrong this time… I do think we’ll hit $140K, but I’m having my doubts and I don’t think the risk/reward of the market currently warrants new investment at this time. Buying at $20K in 2017 might sound smart now, but they would’ve lost nearly 95% of their investment in just over a year.

In 2017 at 20k it was a wild swing, anything past 10k at that point at time was well over the limit of reasonable expectations.  People did enter at that time and do well (fairly briefly), the danger was there but people went ahead anyway but I dont believe we are at a similar level of excess or imbalance right now.
  
I would not place 100k comparatively like 10k was situated then, as if anything going past is going to fail and if the market is to pull back some to 105k like I said above; Im estimating that movement in BTC price action as a positive pullback so coming back to 105k is going to build support & build a step before we are then good to go higher.

2017 had a constriction on trade, the fees to move any BTC were inflated and that's part of what created the instability & ironically it let prices go higher.
  So 2017 was supply constriction, now we have buyers adding BTC to company balance sheets and a company is always leveraged so I do think that can lead to later selling but I dont think so immediately.

   For a long term estimate of value or how far the market has moved, I would use the pre Ukraine war highs.   So it isnt the same number but this year in 2025 we had a low near to that prior long term high.  We were in touching distance, its not precise and it doesn't have to be because of course the Dollar doesn't retain its value and is never the same each year as it was in prior years.

Expecting too much is a red flag but I dont see figures as grossly inflated, to close the year it can be just flat overall.  I would describe the situation as bullish generally and try not to demand or rely on any gains but I think BTC as its moving towards the horizon is higher more probably then repeating or finding new lows in this year.

And during 2017, which was when Bitcoin reached its ATH, it was not really a good time to invest if the person is not going to hold for long. Judging from the fall after that achievement, it could have been a disaster for the investor. However, if you ask me, I won’t advise anyone not to invest; rather, I will prepare their mind for the risks. Since if they might have bought during that 2017 pump at $20k, after the dump, if they left the coins there until the market started to pump again, they will definitely be on the profit side by now. It’s all about patience.

So instead of thinking about 1 year span or this year profit return then maybe much better if they target long term with Bitcoin.

Since if they try to seek to get quick profit this year then maybe they won't get those what they expect.

Its hard to tell that Bitcoin would really go to $140k that's why instead of speculating only for that situation to happen. Better for people to start accumulating and use their extra or discretionary funds so that they would have some good stake then see if they can get good profit with Bitcoin maybe on 4 years time span of their investment.

Well atleast investing in Bitcoin is better than those get rich quick investment plans, if you are investing into  Bitcoin your money is safe but the question is when you plan to get your money out because silly price predictions like 250k per Bitcoin might not happen this year at all, while investing it's better to have a long term investment plan in mind.

It's even possible that Bitcoin will not see 150k per one Bitcoin this year, that 200 to 250k price might be something that's coming in the next four years to this time, you need to be prepared physically and mentally. Long term plan is the best, don't rely on price prediction that people are saying, in 2021 many predicted that we will see 100k per Bitcoin, when Bitcoin get to 69k it turned around and a new bear market came.

Why are people so hell-bent on setting price goals for Bitcoin? "Will Bitcoin reach X price on Y month?", "will Bitcoin become Z price on Q year?".

I just posted in a different thread about this.

The more you set up a goal, the more you set yourself up for failure. Don't create expectations.

Bitcoin is going up, it might go down, but in the long term it is going up. That is the only thing that matters.

Yeah, because we are on the verge of something that will be bigger change. It should be something that will be greatly profitable for a while ,and then bear run. History shows that rest of 2025 should be very high, so if you want to get in right now and get out at the peak you can do that. If not, then I would say keep doing DCA for a LONG time, like 2-3 years, so you can invest when it's lower too, in order to profit on the next bull run.

These are both possible together. Get all-in today, get out at peak, make a big profit, and use that all money to DCA during bear year in 2026. If you do that then you are going to change your life for good, because it will allow you to have such a good profit that you can actually change your life with it.

After reached all time high bitcoin currently stuck at $110k below and the speculator mostly said next month is important month for bitcoin prices movement whether it will be bullish or bearish especially there are some important news such as the Fed chair Jerome Powell's Speech so his speech will influence bitcoin prices for quarter 4th this year

Asides from these news i think investing in bitcoin still not late that people indeed should be thinking positively about the prices but i think $250k is too much which in my opinion if the prices has showing positive condition then probably $150k can be reached this december

Nobody knows the price which bitcoin will be going at the end of the year, everyone is just making speculations and we can be wrong, that’s why when anyone is investing in bitcoin, we shouldn’t tell them when they are going to make profits because no one  knows when that’s going to be. We having like 4 months till ending of the year, bitcoin getting to $250k is something that we can achieve, but I just think even if bitcoin price is going to pump, then we might not see bitcoin price above $200k.

If you are planning to invest in bitcoin, then you are suppose to hold for long term, investing now and expecting return by December is really a bad idea, because bitcoin price might even dump by December. Asking someone to invest now, and promising them profits by December is really a reg flag, no one is sure if bitcoin price is going to increase by December. If you are introducing anyone to bitcoin investment, then just ask them to hold for long term.

$250K is an over hyped price to me, so I won’t believe and settle for that when bitcoin is even yet to reach $150K. Bitcoin investment would have been enjoyed more if one has invested in it longer before now, even before the bull run cycle begins. Jumping into the investment now is not too late but a rather risky thing to do to expect big profit by end of the year.

If Bitcoin doesn’t remain bullish with a full time momentum till end of the year, I don’t even see it even going to reach $200K. The bullish momentum may remain, but Bitcoin has to perform beyond reasonable doubts, before one can at least believe it will reach $250K by end of the year. For me, it’ll be a risky investment to invest now and want to take out profit by end of the year, but it’s also not risky because if you play well, you won’t meet with loss by after investing in bitcoin.

250k is fully silly from my point of view, I'm really not seeing that.   In such a short time frame as merely the rest of this year, especially if we count only valid full trading days ie. working days left in this year then its far too much.
   To get that kind of movement is more like lighting a stick of TNT then any controlled rocket launch or other synonym you want to label it as.

It would be chaos to get that price, it would actually move the needle from volatility to destructive movement.  Its not actually a positive to go higher in an uncontrolled way.
  I like that people want BTC to be this positive but remember both the buyers and sellers are important in any regular market and we really want BTC to last long term be stable, be valid and real not just a neon price on screen going higher for people to sell at the top; thats not a developed 'proper' market.

Impossible they say is nothing, remember earlier in August, Bitcoin was at almost $120k so is very possible $150k can be reached by the end of the year, there's probably almost four months before the year rounds up but the fact still remains that this year Bitcoin is still good to make moves above the current ATH, the current bearish moves we are seeing on bitcoin is definitely going to end and may not even last long, I'm even expecting to see the anticipated move by the first week of next month even.

You cannot go wrong now with investing in Bitcoin, actually to many, this is the best time to buy the lows but be careful it doesn't happen that after you buy the low,  The market goes even lower and puts you at the losses you were trying toe avoid.  DCA careful and ones the moves begin in the market, you will make some good profits.

When it comes to bitcoin or any crypto the most important rule is to only invest what you can afford to lose. speculations about 250k by year end sound exciting but they are just guesses and no one can say for sure if it will happen. the market is unpredictable and can move in ways nobody expects.If you buy now hoping for quick profit by december you are basically betting on short term speculation which carries high risk. it’s not automatically a bad plan but it becomes a red flag if you put in money you can’t afford to lose or if you depend on that money for urgent needs.

A safer way is to invest only what you can comfortably part with and think long term. if bitcoin rises to 250k that’s a bonus but if it doesn’t you won’t be financially hurt. chasing quick gains with money you really need can backfire badly in a volatile market like this. Bitcoin has shown in the past that it can reach new highs but it has also shown that it can drop by 50 percent or more in a short time. no matter how bullish the predictions sound you should prepare for both outcomes. having a clear exit plan helps too so you don’t get caught between greed when the price pumps and panic when it dips.

So the bottom line is invest carefully with money set aside for risk be patient with the process and avoid relying on short term hype. long term holders usually benefit the most because they don’t let short term volatility shake them out of their positions.

Of course we never know what the highest price will be at the end of this year, they speculate based on their respective experiences and also many factors that influence the price of Bitcoin. If the price really reaches what you said above, of course we would welcome it, wouldn't we? And we will definitely get results from our investment. However, it is also important to always be prepared for various possibilities, including the risk of falling prices, so that investment decisions remain wise and measured.

Whether bitcoin price will reach $250k this year or not, there’s always good reason to start investing in bitcoin, and that is seeing bitcoin price continue to appreciate in the long run. However, just to be honest, I don’t see bitcoin price will cross $250k this year, it maybe the following year or the next year ahead. But this is still some speculation of mine, since bitcoin can surprise us something we didn’t expect to happen, and that made bitcoin totally unpredictable and uncertain no matter how we think we know bitcoin well.
