what is next for bitcoin?

[lionheart78]

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.

If you are talking about the next movement of Bitcoin after this hype, obviously it will transition to a bearish market, we might read another batch of Bitcoin is doom thingy, and possibly there will be another batch of articles to be put on Bitcoin obituary topics.

Aside from the next market movement, I believe Bitcoin being adopted by politicians as their campaign focus will continue, and many government will follow the examples of the US states in making Bitcoin a reserve.  There will be lots of companies that will follow MicroStrategy, but somehow many of them will get disappointed when the market begins to dive down when the bear market takes place.

Price targets are superficial. They grab, they mislead, they almost never teach. Bitcoin at new highs is a spectacle, but it is never the real story. It is the story of sovereignty seeping back into the lives of people, one transaction, one node at a time.

Governments never intend to make it legal. They react, late and awkward. There will be countries that will all ain, not because they are visionary but because they are desperate. Think Turkey, Argentina where currencies are bleeding, and people are now wondering: what is money, anyway? Each large rally creates more scams. Very human nature, just in a new suit. Watch the cycles: innovation, speculation, manipulation, then (if we are lucky) education.  It is always the same thing, but louder every time. If you are here for freedom, you build, you self-custody, you teach. If you are here for profit, you get caught, sooner or later, in someone else's profit scheme.

The next chapter should be about the hard work: building antifragile tools, normalizing privacy, outsmarting the grifters, and making being careful a communal habit. This tech's just a skeleton while  the culture, the mindset, the shared stories are what will flesh it out.

Of course he's talking about investing, I think you know that because that's all we're talking about in these days. Not many people are interested in using bitcoin for payments or as currency anymore, and that's the truth.

Bitcoin has its use cases and practical applications, but when it comes to speculation, trading…there is nothing wrong with calling it a zero-sum game. When someone sells for profit, there will definitely be someone who loses and that is the nature of finance, and bitcoin is also a financial market. No financial market can be profitable for both sellers and buyers, and bitcoin is no exception.

If that were the case, then we can now see a number of countries legalizing Bitcoin as an investment asset and this would no longer be an issue.
When it comes to legal tender, I agree because it's not just about being unattractive there are many things that need to be changed such as regulations.

In any economic system, something is considered a zero-sum game, where there are those who benefit and those who lose.
But in this case, if we simplify it and the pattern is implemented correctly, both buyers and sellers benefit. So I call it a different thing, but it's up to each person to see the correlation based on their own perspective.
If there were no financial markets that could benefit both buyers and sellers, I'm not so sure this sector would have grown so rapidly.
Unless we're talking about the short term, there's little resemblance to a zero-sum relationship because there's no new value creation, which is why I don't attribute a zero-sum relationship to Bitcoin.

right now and the past year, since bitcoin has been so strong many people are pushing for a supercycle this is obviously not new i have heard this many times but people are expecting for the bull run to continue for eternity and bear run to never come so if bear run ever comes we will see fud more than ever after all the speculations of a supercycle

Aside from the next market movement, I believe Bitcoin being adopted by politicians as their campaign focus will continue, and many government will follow the examples of the US states in making Bitcoin a reserve.  There will be lots of companies that will follow MicroStrategy, but somehow many of them will get disappointed when the market begins to dive down when the bear market takes place.

a lot of these companies bought when bitcoin was pumping when they should have waited for when bitcoin has declined so they will be able to maximize the cheap price

Companies like that would be able to tell their holders to cool down a bit, I hope: clearly, I imagine and already saw cases like that, where the dips of BTC would mind blow those trying to gain something and see that the BTC just is not always going up - but sometimes, it goes into the volatile are too.

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.

This is also my prediction, the more corporate entities or institutions are buying and hodling we can expect more ATH in this circle that could beat our speculations. With the momentum that the current ATH happened I believe that $150k is possible anytime within this third quarter of 2025 and if institutions continues to pump their bags we can expect to see $200k in this bull run. With the level of Bitcoin adoption and accumulation I wouldn't allow anybody to tell me otherwise about the possibilities of seeing more ATH in this circle. I am expecting more institutions and governments to accumulate Bitcoin because everybody is seeing it's potentials.

Time marches on, and with it, more and more entities realize what can be achieved with BTC.

And that's truly wonderful - BTC just gets the position it needs, and the recognition too.

Bitcoin made it to $123,000 and there is more to know about this fact, and just little more pump will land us to $150,000 and we are also liable to going even more than that, because the market is more volatile and there is high tendencies we had the last all time high more sooner than later, just as some already purported that by the end of the year, but with the way we are seeing it now, bitcoin is likely to made it all time high anytime soon before we are done with the season.

Eventually, there will be a pullback, but we may never know when the demand would be halted in its tracks: maybe it will be tied to some events to come, or maybe would want to finally pour their liquidity further.

Yes, that's right, Bitcoin has shown the highest price and none of us have seen such prices before. As far as I can understand, with the rise in Bitcoin's prices, in a country there is nothing to do with Bitcoin legal. If Bitcoin in a country, then the legal system of that country has to be taken the most. And no matter how profitable Bitcoin, the government must take proper action. Because the most illegal work is done through Bitcoin. If a person can legalize his illegal wealth through Bitcoin within one of the Names. In this case, the country can face many problems, even though that country is economically improved by Bitcoin. Because most people are experiencing scam at the present. That's why not just by planning to legalize Bitcoin. the state should take steps to take care of the citizens.

That is true, and the possibility of Bitcoin giving us a mind-blowing price break before the end of this month is possible. If the price can really reach $125k before month end, the tendency of touching the $150k will be attained by the ending section of the year. Though, this all maybe price speculations, be there are some glimpse of reality so blur to properly visualize.

The rate of accepting the legal use of Bitcoin is getting wider spread these days, though, some countries still have their ban/restriction on it, but these all will die down, because it has been publicized that Banks tells their big investors/shareholders to put some of their funds into Bitcoin, as it is a good form of investment that yields well in a long run.

Scammers who seek to deceive are many. They have many ways, such as creating channels to offer certain things, creating fake clone sites, and even spreading links to hack certain systems when we unknowingly visit them.
Increasing the price of Bitcoin may not be a consideration for more countries to legalize it. But when more countries legalize Bitcoin, buy, and even use Bitcoin as an alternative payment in their countries, it will definitely help increase the price of Bitcoin.

If you talk about long term, you are not wrong. But bitcoin is not unique, speculative markets like stocks or the gold market are not zero-sum games in the long run.

But if compare all three, bitcoin is the market is most similar to a zero-sum game because the value of bitcoin is based on its expectation and scarcity. The investor's profit comes from other people paying higher prices. Unlike stocks, profits come from the intrinsic value of the company, stock prices increase due to the growth of technology and the company.

The Bitcoin market needs to be adopted more widely, needs to be applied more practically in life, instead of just being used for speculation. Only then is it truly a positive-sum like stocks. But in the short run, it's all a zero-sum.

[Mrbluntzy]

I was.never skeptical about Bitcoin price to surge to $150k this year, but when I saw some people speculating price to reach $250k to $500k, that's where I became skeptical. Since price surge above $100k last year, I was always optimistic that before the end of 2025, Bitcoin must definitely surge past $120k and it just did that this month, I am not surprised. We are already halfway to $150k and before December, if the trend continues going up, it could get to $200k.

We would see a lot of these as research institutes and entities keep looking out for what might be the best ways to leverage the opportunities they might find in Bitcoin for themselves. Come with the government backing, it’s only nice they do so.

Bitcoin in today is no longer a currency that is circumvented by FUD and uncertainties. Come the supports, come investment decisions.

I thought we might have been at the start of a possible bullrun but, this wasn’t it even though, price pushed a little further and way too suddenly.

Legalization is on the way, east asian countries are preparing the regulation, some already embracing it like south korea.
Overall it's a bullish narrative, even $200k is possible as long as there's no big war.

Probably gonna consolidate for some time at current price then shoot up but i'm biased as heck since i also hold bitcoin.

It is quite possible that the number of countries that will legalize bitcoin will increase. But for that a legal framework needs to be prepared first. I think that everyone is now waiting and observing how things will unfold in the United States. Even though Trump signed an order about a bitcoin reserve everything is still relatively up in the air because the United States also does not yet have a legal framework that would regulate the circulation of cryptocurrencies. Everything will be built on this with the US first adopting and approving the legal framework. I think that based on these laws the legal systems in other countries will be built. After that the acceptance of bitcoin will move much faster and the fact that bitcoin is growing and becoming a reserve asset for many companies is a very good sign.

Surely, some will take more time to embrace BTC - but most of the global players will be there eventually, and BTC will be acknowledged properly.

Right now I am not thinking about $150K, not even thinking about price range. If you limit the price range, then it likely seems like the end of the game. But the Bitcoin game won't end ever, and it will continue to grow; no one could prevent it. Don't bind Bitcoin with a price; let it grow constantly. Bitcoin will keep continuing to create history or new ATH and won't stop it. So next for Bitcoin is just ATH and then ATH again. This should be next for Bitcoin, to be honest.

I am not thinking of any unrealistic matter, because we are witnessing ourselves how Bitcoin is breaking its own ATH history. That's the power of Bitcoin. Since the world's institutional investors want to invest in Bitcoin and want to reserve it, including the US, we don't need to look back. Though sometimes we may see a dump for various reasons, ATH is next. So change your mind and don't limit the Bitcoin price.

Bitcoin history of breaking records proves its strength and growing interest from institutional investors and even governments like US is major new factor. This shows more mature market with deep pockets and long term holding plans which should push Bitcoin higher even after temporary drops. And that is right that there will be occasional dips but these are just minor bumps on road to more ATHs. And Exactly you are saying right that we should not put limit on Bitcoin price because its potential for continuous unlimited growth is just beginning.
