Hairy, that if BTC gets such momentum that it is able to get into a close to $100k range, then breaking through $100k might make $200k relatively easy, and therefore a reasonable expectation... Alright, you kind of talked me into $200k as being almost more reasonable than $100k, because once we get to $100k, gosh there is surely likely to be momentum and FOMO that is quite difficult to contain, even when there are a lot of folks who want to cash out, the ones wanting "in" then become quite likely to out number the ones wanting "out"
Pretty much everyone in a Western country who is not living under a rock has heard of Bitcoin. But only 2% hold any crypto (if that much). Going from 2% of the population holding Bitcoin to 15% or 20% is going to result in a bull market frenzy that will blow everyone away. Predictions of $50k are piss weak.
We don't know who struck first, us or them, but we know that it was us that scorched the sky.
