What if BTC won't see ATH again?

[a298b112]

Let's be honest, market do not follow any rules. There is no rule or law that says BTC should reach another ATH next cycle and next after. What if 69K was the maximum it could reach, and for the next years or decades it will be mostly fluctuating between 15k and let's say 40k.

So, let's collect here the reasons why there will be ATH for BTC.
Name one (at least) reason, please.  

Some reasons collected so far:

1. "More than 90% of the people in this world has not yet bought bitcoin, do not worry, the adoption is still continuing. You will still see bitcoin at $100000 ane more."
2. "... as long as fiat inflation is still happening (which means a decrease in purchasing power), you can rest assured that assets like Bitcoin will keep going strong."
3. "We might see multiple ATH in the future once fiat explode. Bitcoin is the alternative and safe haven for people to escape inflation."

Bitcoin will get to all-time-high again.

This is not about trading and is not related to trading. Go down the thread and you will see move topic, move it to speculation board.

More than 90% of the people in this world has not yet bought bitcoin, do not worry, the adoption is still continuing. You will still see bitcoin at $100000 ane more.

Not late to buy.

Isn't this contradictory to your first paragraph? Let's just say that there will be no ATH and the price will fluctuate between 15k and 40k as you mentioned above, what is wrong with that? You can still use Bitcoin as usual. You can trade, DCA, and make profits through other means other than chasing new heights if that's what you're worried about. It's not like the coins become worthless if it doesn't make new ATH every 4 years or so.

That being said, as long as fiat inflation is still happening (which means a decrease in purchasing power), you can rest assured that assets like Bitcoin will keep going strong.

You are very correct, but I do not think it is time to talk like this about bitcoin because bitcoin has not failed for once not to reach all-time-high in one cycle, I mean in every 4 years after halving. Bitcoin has always got to all-time-high. But maybe there would be a time the max adoption would be huge and all-time-high may be hard to reach but having huge marketcap. The price will still fluctuate in a way that people can still hold and make money.

True I also never doubted Bitcoin and it's only a matter of time to see Bitcoin reach ATH,
but back again we never know exactly when it will happen,
so it's better to be patient and keep up with the progress.

Perhaps, there is no rule or law that says it turns to zero, the same thing that there is a chance to make another history and another ATH.
We can't draw assumptions, not in a case where we know that Bitcoin is beyond unpredictable. Because as long as the community trusting and keep trading Bitcoin, you can't say it was impossible as it all possible. In fact, we thought before that $20k is impossible but it rallies more than that price and now, we are looking forward to seeing $100k in the future.

Let’s be honest and consider how low the price of Bitcoin compared on its total supply. Bitcoin is scarce while fiat unlimited print is now suffering the repercussion of bloating supply. Bitcoin is performing in good times and bad time of global economy. Only time will tell which most people realize how worthless the fiat and what they are missing for not owning a piece of Bitcoin.

We might see multiple ATH in the future once fiat explode. Bitcoin is the alternative and safe haven for people to escape inflation.

I think no, it is not contradictory. I think BTC becoming more like an asset rather than a payment method (money, currency etc). An asset fluctuating between ~15k and ~40k can't be money to use everyday. I mean as far as I understand it.

Bitcoin is the only asset that really has a limit of 21 million. This is an important advantage that e.g. gold, silver or other precious metals do not have. This seems to me to be an important reason why we might see a new ATH again at some point. Sure, even this advantage is no guarantee for a new ATH, but currently nothing really speaks against Bitcoin reaching a new ATH at some point, in my opinion.

But if you look at it's past history, every 4 years we will get into a bull and new all time high.

So are you saying that it's going to break the pattern? As we all know that during the bitcoin block halving, it lowers the supply. And just by the basic economic law, lower supply with high demand = high prices.

I doubt that your argument will happen as it the price of bitcoin is going to be stable.

Apart from having to be patient to see ATH again on Bitcoin, I think everyone also needs to see some things that can influence Bitcoin's increase in the market so that there is a little better hope when being patient even though the certainty cannot be fully measured for that, so I prefer see developments that are likely to occur while making purchases at certain moments such as during a price correction.

Problem:

What if BTC won't see ATH again?

Solution:



Seems like way too many are concerned more about the price and the gain in $ than realizing Bitcoin will work as intended by Satoshi even at $100 or $100k.
I remember Bitcoin being called "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" not a quadruple your money every cycle earning scheme.

[Nrcewker]

BTC are destined to rise in price. The reason for which I am so confident about this statement is because Bitcoins are limited in numbers, and the rise among people to acquire Bitcoins is increasing. Currently the price and marketcap is enough to prove that Bitcoins will rise. So I would say, don’t greed and think more, whenever price falls just try to accumulate as many Bitcoins as you can and hold it for long term. Definitely we will see an ATH price this year.

[xSkylarx]

Then we have nothing to do with it because first Bitcoin was made just for us to send/recieve or transact with it , this was not made as an investment it was just the price goes up. That is why always invest what you can afford to lose but for now it is not that possible because first there will be halving next year and the mass adoption of bitcoin is increasing per year so the price is no where to go.

[posi]

To be fair, bitcoin is still a relatively new asset, and bitcoin's future is uncertain, so there's still a chance it won't hit ATH even though the odds of that happening are very low. But as investors in bitcoin, we have the right to expect bitcoin to appreciate and bring more benefits to us. Bitcoin is doing very well, and if it maintains its current momentum, a price increase is quite sure.
Opportunity is always hidden in risk, and if someone can take the risk, they can find opportunities that others don't see. Bitcoin is similar, rewards should only be given to those who deserve it.

Once gold was money, now it is an investing tool. So is BTC.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

The OP has a point. Perhaps he worries to the extreme, but I see the point that the future need not repeat the past.

The trend of bitcoin from the beginning has been to rise in price and it is normal to assume that it will continue to do so, not only because of trend following, but because of what bitcoin is, a decentralised, limited electronic asset that does not increase its supply when the price rises.

Therefore, it is normal to assume the most probable, without ruling out the improbable, and in this case the most probable with a very high probability is that the price of bitcoin will continue to rise, and continue to break records, because of the above and because fiat currencies will continue to devalue.

To the specific question he poses, I don't worry about bitcoin never making a new ATH, because I consider it extremely unlikely, and in that case I would consider what to do, maybe ask for a job at McDonald's lol.

2. "... as long as fiat inflation is still happening (which means a decrease in purchasing power), you can rest assured that assets like Bitcoin will keep going strong."

I'd also point out that as long as Bitcoin's inflation drops in half every 4 years, as programmed, then there isn't a need for increased participation into the network for a new ATH.

Just maintaining the same demand and supply that currently exists is what helps to drive up price, as we have seen in 2016 and 2020. While I'm personally not a big believer of the average Westerner dumping stable (enough) fiat currencies for Bitcoin, the reality remains that in hyper-inflationary countries, these users don't have much of an alternative store of wealth that can be used for payments other than Bitcoin.

What if 69K was the maximum it could reach, and for the next years or decades it will be mostly fluctuating between 15k and let's say 40k.

I'm also going to say that sure, price could be in the range you referenced for a decade or longer. After all Gold was in a range for a decade between $1K and $2K. The difference being that it maintained it's high valuation ie >$1K, after previously being valued between $250 and $750 in the 80s and 90s, which means it was/is still a good store of value, hence it eventually did make a new ATH even if it took a long time again.

Not gonna argue on this one but you do have a point. Moreover, let's point your argument between gold, gold was way have more supply compare to that of Bitcoin, at 21 million capped minus those who are lost in circulation, that's the advantage plus the mining difficulty and halving periods. I'm not saying it's not possible to be on this point but there are lot of more room for growth for Bitcoin.

Correct, OP does have a point, there are no specific rules on cryptocurrencies, however, historical graphs have shown otherwise, thus, we expect that Bitcoin will eventually hit another ATH in a few years. We're not guaranteed that it'll happen, but it is possible. However, even if we suppose that doesn't happen, I'd be satisfied with a price ranging from $45,000 to $50,000, since that's almost double my DCA. My average price acquisition is at $28,000, thus, I'd still be at decent profit and I'm satisfied with that, but as I mentioned earlier, chances are that Bitcoin reaches a new ATH within the next few years.
