what is next for bitcoin?

[Reatim]

if we thought $150k this year was unattainable, bitcoin is proving us wrong as it reaches almost half of that value

it makes me think what would be next now that bitcoin is reaching prices never been seen before. will there be a boost of countries finally legalizing bitcoin? i am sure that the good also comes with the bad. as bitcoin becomes extremely profitable, ill intent people will start to come to bitcoin as well and try to fool a lot of bitcoin investors so be careful.

Many factors have contributed to the $123,000 we had, they all make it more sooner than later, so we should also expect that bitcoin is going to $150,000 or something around the corner.

Nothing much to expect or change from the norms, all time high is the major reason we are all awaiting to see happened and it's happening already.

will there be a boost of countries finally legalizing bitcoin?

Many countries already legalized Bitcoin use even though they never supported in making investment in it or accepting Bitcoin as a legal tender, anyone into bitcoin is at his own risk

Half of $150000 is $75000, but bitcoin got to $123250 but it is now at $116500. That is more than half of $150000.

Bitcoin is legal in one way or the other in almost all countries in this world. Even in the so called China, bitcoin is legal as a property that can be owned.

It’s a truly impressive appreciation, especially for those who have been in the crypto space for years. I still believe the best is yet to come. For example, I don’t see random people talking about Bitcoin like they did during the last cycle in 2021, we haven’t had an altcoin season or anything like that. I think $150K will just be a psychological resistance, and if things don’t go off the rails (war, Trump, macroeconomics) and Bitcoin continues to follow the M2, we have every reason to believe it could reach $180K this year.

Corporate interest is providing a new and strong form of demand, and could be a catalyst that continues to push it higher and/or adds support to keep it from correcting as hard as it did in the cooling off phase of last bull periods.

you are absolutely right Bitcoin is very full of surprises in recent surge just to proves how unpredictable it is yet powerful  it can be, as  we forward  those all time high , global interest is only going to rise  both from the government fortunately from bad actors too , legaligation may speed up as some countries realize they cant ignore it any longer the profit may be like scams so people really need to stay informed and cautious

This year as been a good year for Bitcoin as it keeps breaking several ATH. My guess is that it might get to $150k before the end of the bull market.

The price movement of Bitcoin is unpredictable. So I don't think anyone can accurately predict the next move of Bitcoin. However, with the push of the President of the US to reduce interest rates in September, an increase in government and corporate organisations, I think better days are ahead.

I can not remember if we have ever had a discussion that got us all convinced that bitcoin will never reach $150,000 instead, we are even expecting more than that probably $200,000 this year. So most of us are not really surprised because of you understands the liquidations forces of bitcoin then we should believe every price is possible to be attained.

The season is really attractive to expand the market cap with new adoptors which as well portrays some versions that some governments can develop interest on too. If it goes as speculated we should be expecting some ease of unfriendly crypto policies in some of the countries which tends to have been admiring bitcoin before now.

[Sanitough]

Let’s talk about that once Bitcoin actually hits the target, we’re getting close, but the market’s still unpredictable, so you never really know what might happen.

But we’re all here because we’re betting on Bitcoin’s future. We believe adoption will keep growing, and with that, the price can only go one way --  up.

I’ve noticed a lot of new threads popping up lately too, which means people are really starting to feel the bullish momentum. Some might even be FOMO-ing in already.
Good luck to them, hopefully they keep holding, because not just $150K… even $200K is possible this year.

[moneystery]

with increased adoption from governments and institutions, it will boost the price of bitcoin, and we could reach $150k before the end of this year... all of these possibilities are possible. however, what's important to note is that we can't be sure when that will happen, especially considering the current volatile market movements, so one needs to consider this when they want to invest their money in bitcoin. but for those looking for long-term investments, volatility won't be a problem, as it will only be visible in the short term. the most important thing is to avoid fomo and think that bitcoin is a quick way to profit.

This year $150k is still possible because there is already a time lag of 2021 - 2025.

It's impossible to get the answer we expected before the question arose.
We are too naive if we only look at it from the side of the benefits we get because Bitcoin reaches ATH at $123k. Instead, we must also look at the opposite side of the benefits or risks.
To see all countries will legalize, not impossible because I have the premise that nothing is impossible, but it takes something that is very difficult to accept.

[Stellarcast]

with increased adoption from governments and institutions, it will boost the price of bitcoin, and we could reach $150k before the end of this year...

This might very well happen but personally, I feel that this would once again shed light on Bitcoin to the global stage, and newer laws and crypto regulations may be imposed. Surely the government would want to have some sort of control over such a big digital currency (at least for the larger organizations dealing with business for less anonymity - the irony), and this could slow down its progress, depending on how large the effect is.

Just my 17 satoshis (as of today), I feel that Bitcoin would go through yet another wave of scrutinization, slowing down the climb, but we shall see.

[salad daging]

Waiting for higher prices, right? If Bitcoin does not reach $150K this year, there is a possibility of a decline, but the optimistic scenario is still possible—it's just a matter of time.

Many countries have legalised Bitcoin—their citizens are permitted to hold Bitcoin, though using it for payments is not yet possible as some countries still prohibit it.

As for criminals, they will always exist, so we must remain vigilant and cautious against various types of fraud.

Bitcoin price prediction is usually not certain and that’s why it is speculation, from all indications bitcoin will be heading up soon again. Yes there was a surge in the rate at which people FOMO when the price actually went up but this wasn’t surprising, people are fond of actually coming when the market is at its peak. For me there is no top for bitcoin at the moment except you’re a short term investor, yes even above $120k is still a good buy only if you’re holding for long, but trying to buy and you’re intending to sell maybe within this year will be risky at this moment even though I have and heavy speculation of bitcoin getting up again.

For me there ATH this year is going to be any price above $150k and not more than $180k. Although bitcoin is very much unpredictable and we saw that when it moved from $105 to $123k within a week, so with that rate in the summer which most people do not see as bullish period is a clear indication that there will be many ATH to come. Will bitcoin get to $200k this year? It is not impossible but technically not that realistic with its volatility right now

[Dogedegen]

What is next is the creation of a proper strategic reserve by a large country and more company treasuries. This is something that we have been waiting for for some time now.

Waiting for higher prices, right? If Bitcoin does not reach $150K this year, there is a possibility of a decline, but the optimistic scenario is still possible—it's just a matter of time.

Price movements are not that interesting compared to the events around them and those that are driving them.

This might very well happen but personally, I feel that this would once again shed light on Bitcoin to the global stage, and newer laws and crypto regulations may be imposed.

No laws can control Bitcoin, so the countries that impose those laws will be the losers of this race.

[Shadiq]

We see the possibility of seeing Bitcoin go higher before the bull market ends. Maybe it could be more than $150k. We have already crossed $120k which was our initial expectation this year.

Our even bigger expectation was to cross $150k before the end of the year. There are still a few more months left before the end of the year which should be enough for Bitcoin to reach $150k. Maybe we will see Bitcoin go much higher in the next few days.

Some countries have already started legalizing Bitcoin, maybe in the future we will see some more countries, then Bitcoin will be in a higher position.

[WatChe]

Bitcoin has reached another ATH of 123k$ and we have seen this thing many times that whenever price of Bitcoin goes up we have speculations of new ATHs. 150k$ from current ATH is not very difficult to achieve, all we need is current momentum or few positive global events for Bitcoin. The governments are only legalising what they can control i.e. centralised Bitcoin that goes through centralised exchanges. It's important to understand the difference between decentralised Bitcoin originally created by Satoshi and the centralised one residing on exchange like Binance.

[yhiaali3]

I believe the opposite: increased acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin by governments and large institutions leads to a rise in its price, not that a rise in price leads to increased adoption.

Unless there is more adoption by new companies and governments taking strategic reserves of Bitcoin, it's unlikely we'll see Bitcoin rise to new record prices like $150K and above. Reaching these numbers requires significant liquidity entering the market, and this is achieved through the entry of new companies and increased adoption.

OP as Oshosondy points out you have gotten your calculations wrong.... in a
phenomenally incorrect way and by a factor of months in time

Half of $150k is $75k - last seen around December 2024, 7 months ago!

Whats next? only more adoption generally across the world. Most countries dont
necessarily class Bitcoin as illegal and for some time yet there will be countries
looking to control their citizens for fear that the entire population would flock to
Bitcoin which of course will never happen.

I do not see the need linking bitcoin's legality with price increase. The governments of most of these countries are already aware that bitcoin has the potential of increasing in value  over time. Bitcoin has witnessed series of ATHs since its creation, yet the government is still adamant. The only reason the government hates Bitcoin is because of decentralization; many of these governments will not wholeheartedly accept what they don't have full control over. Some of these politicians are acquiring bitcoin secretly and using it as a political tool to win elections. For the few who have made attempts to adopt bitcoin, let's just see how it goes.
