Elsavador President Predicting $100,000 Bitcoin price looks like another joke

[Wexnident]

Hey anyone can make a prediction, whether it be completely baseless or absolutely nonsense, backed with info/facts, or whatever methodology you used, a prediction s in the end just a prediction. Not to mention that the topic is about the crypto market, a very volatile market, nothing is impossible imo. Besides, a jump from $15k ish to $60k ish in 6 months did happen in the beginning of last year, so really, it isn't that odd for some, well, very positive thinking people to look at the market and be very bullish for it.

Sides, randomly making predictions is free.

On 31st December, new year Eve a number of people started making jest of the $100k BTC price prediction as one of the biggest lie of 2021 and they made jokes of it.

who Lied to Whom? it is people stupidity to believe that and never blame anyone because of that foolish belief.

We Knew that this market is unpredictable so why will look for that amount when it is far from the ATH ?

Yea, Bitcoin came close $69k making it very hard to totally write off the prediction though it didn't meet, but then it was somewhat reasonable but ended 47k at the end of 2021 not even on half mark of $50k.

But as a new year reassurance for 2022 Elsavador president Nayib Bukele predict once again that BTC will hit $100,000.

Let the man believe what he wanted to believe , he does not Hold the entire bitcoin so who can tell what and when to climb the price?

The figure above looks funny to some people, I won't lie I have doubts for that too...lol!...but what do I know, I'm just a beginner in this whole thingy.

What do you guys think of BTC in 2022?

you are newbie or beginner so listen to no promises , but make your own research for your own funding .

There was no reassurance made by President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador. He was just predicting just like everyone else. I am also predicting that Bitcoin will finally reach $100,000 in 2022. That could be wrong. Both of us could be wrong. All of us could be wrong. But it is always better to predict with optimism than predict with pessimism. During the bullish weeks of the 4th quarter of 2021, people really thought Bitcoin could reach $100,000 before the year ends. There was no wrong with that. The only wrong thing is that there were some people who did not cooperate and sold instead of hodled.  

I think him and his country heavily on bitcoin, you really have to understand where his prediction his coming from. Maybe he wanted the investors to wake up again and pour some money on the market to make a good price at around $50k. However, we are now entering a delicate phase of a bear market unfortunately. Maybe it was a good time to accumulate again just like the President Nayib Bukele, but seeing a 6 digit this year might not be possible.

Bear markets are temporary. Although it may be possible that it stretches into long time frames, it seldom happens. If the entire year of 2022 will be like that of 2018, then I would say that $100,000 is not possible. But if the year is a normal one with bear and bull cycles, it is very possible that $100,000 will happen. We will also consider that the latter part of 2021 is already a bear phase. Entering in 2022, we are now expecting the price to somehow start to consolidate and push higher.

[adaseb]

I also am glad I am not the only one who finds some of his tweet unprofessional. He is the president of a country but he is tweeting about buying dips and arguing with that Gold bug Peter S from time to time. You would think a president would have more important things to tweet about.

What he is doing is good. He is promoting adoption and this might prevent hyper inflation for some residents. However keep in mind that many of these residents have no idea how to use Bitcoin. And look how volatile it is. One day it could lose 80% of its value and from a poor country that’s pretty devasting to say the least. I wonder how his Bitcoin city project will go.

[Poker Player]

Since the OP doesn't post links, it's not 100% clear to me, but I understand that Bukele predicted the price was going to hit $100K in 2021 and now he's predicting it again in 2022. About 2021 is nothing unusual. All predictions (other than Bitcoin haters) gave a minimum of that price.

Regarding 2022, it is not so strange because there are many people who think that we are in a delayed cycle, and that the blow off top so characteristic of previous cycles will happen in 2022, although now there are also people who are beginning to doubt whether the top of this cycle is not already touched with almost $70K last year.

So, you can question what he says, but I certainly don't think it's a joke.

I don't see it also as a joke because bitcoin upward trend is definitely going there. It might be this year or probably the next year around. But i have high hopes that bitcoin will start to surge its price in the next days before the bear season comes, and definitely end up with a new all time high. Although the market still looks unstable because most crypto prices are in decline, but if there's big positive news that will suddenly change the market condition, i think bitcoin will skyrocket again reaching its new all time high.

Bitcoin movements are very volatile, so no one really knows where Bitcoin is going. Even I believe Satoshi Nakamoto as the creator of Bitcoin can't
predict accurately where Bitcoin will move. So indeed predicting the price of Bitcoin is not a joke, but as the hope of Bitcoin supporters, if it fails
to be achieved, it is not something to be concerned about. So I believe the El Salvador president predicting the Bitcoin price to hit $100k is no joke,
because quite a lot of people predict Bitcoin could hit $100k in 2022. If anyone thinks it's a joke, that maybe they don't know Bitcoin well,
or they are among those who are disappointed that Bitcoin failed to hit $100k by the end of 2021.

Because in my opinion, it is very likely that in 2022 Bitcoin will reach a price of $100k, therefore I have no doubts at all for holding Bitcoin. But there
really is no compulsion for everyone to believe that Bitcoin could hit $100k in 2022, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. So if there are people
who don't believe in Bitcoin can reach a price of $100k and think it's a joke that's their right. But please also respect people who believe Bitcoin can go
as high as $100k, life would be more beautiful if everyone could respect each other's opinion.

What do you guys think of BTC in 2022?

I believe Bitcoin in 2022 would be the newbies of 2020’s halving cycle sell their shitcoins, and to start actually HODLing their capital/savings in Bitcoin. Would that make Bitcoin surge to six digits? No, but it’s a preperation for the next halving cycle’s surge.

[bakasabo]

When crypto influencers, analytics and other people close to finances predicted Bitcoin growth, Bitcoin price to reach $100k in 2020-2021, rapid growth after halving in 2020, and nothing of it came true, no one cared a lot. But when a person that is trying hard to make Bitcoin popular and helps its adoption, predicts $100k, then everyone count is as a joke. Why? Because he is a new in cryptocurrency? We all were new. At least he is giving true or achievable predictions. At least he does not "expect $70-100k by the end of year", when the price was $10-13k.

When a president of a country, and specially a country that took bitcoin as legal tender, makes a prediction then it has a bigger say in these type of things than you and I would have. His prediction decides the future of a nation and he makes investments on the behalf of everyone in his nation. This is why I believe that he should not be really making these type of grand predictions. I could do it, you could do it, but he can't, or at least he shouldn't.

Doesn't mean he will be wrong, I am definitely predicting 100k in 2022 as well, I am hoping that it will be a great year and that's how I will make some profit, but that doesn't change the fact that we may not have anything like that as well. In the end as a president of a nation you should always be careful on what you are saying, doesn't mean that you will have to be proper but at the very least you should be careful.

Any higher end prediction about bitcoin will become true one day as bitcoin is going to remain bullish in long term which means you can blindly speculated anything about bitcoin without mentioning about the time frame then that would become true one day. This is like betting on the potential of bitcoin but due to deflationary characteristics, your bets will be winning easily.

Bitcoin was supposed to be testing the $100k by end of 2021 but covid19's negative consequences must be one of the reason which influenced the slow down in the growth of bitcoin. But, you can watch high level of hype is still remaining about bitcoin which is going to the driving force to take bitcoin to $100k regions very soon. 

[Silberman]

I don't understand why anyone would think that's a joke, that's not a joke at all when you see the bitcoin price chart in long term and see how bitcoin price is rising during all these years, I remember when bitcoin was trading below 1K some people were saying bitcoin going to fall and stay less than 100 dollars while some other people were expecting 10K price, know the price is 48K and it could even reach 60K price level while people are still joking but this is not a joke at all, I'm sure El Salvador president is right about the price it will reach even higher prices.

It shouldn't be a joke at all, after all it is not as if bitcoin was at a distance in which it was impossible to reach that price, however we do not know if that price will be reached during this year either, I think there is a possibility this is the case but it is no a sure thing, however if we were to avoid to give such a short time frame for bitcoin to reach that price then I think it is a given that bitcoin will eventually reach it, as it is impossible to stop bitcoin now and the state of the economy will allow bitcoin to grow even more during the next years.

Right indeed. We know bitcoin has huge potentials to increase its value even more and i think everyone had witnessed how bitcoin had made such progress from $3k until it reaches the present price. So for me, its not really surprising if we will end this year at a $100k price level, or bitcoin could even hit a higher price than that. I think Bukele predicted this price not just out of thin air, but definitely more from its well researched made.

I think some good analysts have already predicted for bitcoin to reach $100k by 2021 but things  have went wrong last year and Omicron also started to appear at the last quarter so definitely, the year end was not really positive for bitcoin.

But we are now in 2022 and high predictions for bitcoin are about to be realized soon. Bukele is just right at his prediction, $100k is very possible for bitcoin especially that we are looking forward for a bull run this year. So just relax and enjoy the ride, soon we will see bitcoin skyrocket again and goes to the moon.

Only those who didn't hold bitcoin or were holding some shitcoin where making joke about it. I doubt anyone who uses bitcoin would make fun of any prediction (unless it some sort of absurd prediction). True the $100k prediction was a little too much. We already reached the ATH like twice last year. And it's better this way. Slow and steady rise is in fact a sign of an healthy market. Pretty much sure if the price did reach $100k, we would have seen a massive dump/sell off, cause the price to fall drastically. We may or may not reach $100k within this year, but I do have a feeling it's going to be a good year for crypto currencies.

[Quidat]

What do you guys think of BTC in 2022?

Did anyone really anticipate that Bitcoin could reach that 60k+ ish price of each coin? No one ever anticipated nor expect for it to happen which did really surprise out people or the entire community.
We do have our own perceptions and views towards crypto specially bitcoin and if the president of El salvador do claims out that it could reach up 100k then let it be and make predictions on your own.
Nothing is assured when it comes to future but this cant be called speculative market if it was predictable on the first place.

[STT]

I didnt expect it directly in that year but some did say BTC could reach these higher prices on a longer term view.   The trigger would seem to be the massive amount of money printing that occurred in 2020, as that circulated it allowed BTC to rise end of that year into 2021.   The biggest rises do take time, that why I think people were rushing too much in their expectations for an exact date to follow directly after what was already exceptional rises.   
  It might take this whole year, maybe the next to develop and give hope of another bigger rise like we have seen.  Its best not to rely on such things occurring when wanted, I do wonder if El Salvador suffers if price lingers lower for months on end or its no problem.

No, I don't agree. He's a president. He may have a bigger say on politics but not on Bitcoin price prediction. He may have a bigger say on how things in government are ran smoothly but not in how chart patterns are looking. He's not a trader, not a technical analyst, etc. On this note, experts who are making posts in Wall Observer or Speculation in this forum are better than him and have bigger say in price predictions. And also, he's not on his own. Somebody must be advising him.

supporting this mate, because i believe that the next cycle of Halving will bring different from the movement of crypto market.
and seeking for 6 digits this year is far from happening though this is my personal belief.

maybe the 3-4 years time is what we need to make the value of bitcoin finally take that 100k and above .
