Everyone is talking about how this rally is driven by institutional investors, but this should indicate that retail is getting onboard too.

I think you are overly optimistic. If a deep correction begins now, then bitcoin will easily spend the next couple of years in the 20-30k corridor and there will be no chance of seeing 100k even theoretically. I think that we will find out in the next couple of months - most likely the growth will stop and we will find out what the high of this year is.

... the 'first' big bull adoption wave $32 peak (and first Mt. Gox hack) ... driven mostly by gamers/overclockers getting into mining with GPUs

Most people who think it "won't ever touch $15k again" haven't been around since the early days.  Every bull run so far has been followed by a bear market decline of a minimum of 80%

Don't be over-confident.  What goes up must come down.  The positive though is that the bear market declines are getting less severe over time, and the price is stabilizing as it goes higher.  

The last bear market was a crash of nearly 85%.  Many alt coins crashed 99% lol.  

Reality check - the US economy is at an all-time high and stocks are increasing despite record unemployment and many other indicators of poor recovery outlook.  

Bitcoin is rising due to Tether (China capital outflow) and stimulus pumping companies.  As 'wallstreet' becomes more intertwined with bitcoin, the price correlates more closely with US economic indicators.  

What happens if the US economy tanks?

My prediction is that those institutions that bought have agreed upon stop loss points where their investors will not tolerate any further losses.  Those kinds of selloffs will easily cause a bear market decline of 70-80%.  

I enjoy every couple years a bunch of overly optimistic people come here saying "it's never going as low as $$$" and then a couple years later a bunch of overly pessimistic people say "it's never going as high as $$$... bitcoin is done" lol.  It's a cycle.  Just search this forum in 2018 and look at the pessimism.  When the prices are low, people lose faith.  When the prices are high people lose sight/IQ.

Ride the waves, but just know it goes in both directions.  Don't get caught up in the hype train or the doom gloom.  Ultimately we will go to $1mil, maybe not in my lifetime, but who knows.

for sure the market is now better than in 2018 yesterday.

Grats Jimbo!

back to $20k shouldn't be included in the figures becasue that will be a total disaster to Bitcoin investors.

Another ATH. An nobody cares anymore

will merit asap

Can Bitcoin go below $20k?

Volume is still pretty low on stamp and finex for the amount of bullishness..

1) Where do you guys predict the bull market to end?

2) What is your prediction of the lowest price bitcoin will go again on next bear market?

Why did Bitcoin raise past $30,000?

I don’t know why Bitcoin plummets, but it seems to be a gamble with all sorts of currencies.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
