Invest now and Expect positive returns this year, is it a red flag?

[kingstep]

The year is almost in it last quarter with few months to go but for bitcoin, investing now is not too late.

There are lots of suggestions pointing to the possibility of bitcoin getting to $250k by the end of the year, how realistic is that speculation?

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

[Ambatman]

Well for one something bullish is Jerome Powell stating that rate cut is coming in september
Which usually encourages investing and saving.
$250K is almost 140% increase from current price and that's alot especially with Bitcoin current price
And relatively lower liquidity.

All one have to know is all Investment comes with a risk.

[Marykeller]

$250k price tag of Bitcoin this year is all speculation(it's not certain). Don't put all thought and hope on that, Bitcoin will reach that price this year($250k). Sell your Bitcoin at a reasonable high price of $150k- $180k, to buy back when the market begins to experience a bearish market because hopefully by next year Bitcoin will experience a decline in price

[Oshosondy]

I have been seen such news, that bitcoin can get to $200000 or $250000 this year. Bitcoin is an asset of value that its price will always increase after a long period of time but do not always believe what you see on the news. Make your own analysis and speculation.

Bitcoin will definitely get to $250000 but I do not think it would be in this year.

[Mrbluntzy]

The possibility of Bitcoin getting to $250k between now and the end of the year or the start of a new bear market is not certain, otherwise it would be profitable to buy now and see that price hit $250k soon but you can not be assured of that. If you don't want to miss out on what ever price might do next, you can invest but also look beyond the your short term expectations, have a double plan that when price doesn't get to $250k this year, it will by next bull season.

How possible is it to get to $250k? We are all going to be here until the end of 2025, and we will witness it ourselves; no one is vanishing before the end of the year.

Since Bitcoin has been able to reach $124k this year, if it can break it and get to $130k before the end of September, then our chances of getting to $200k are very high, but for $250k, I don't know how possible that is, nor will I say it's impossible for that to happen.

[Stalker22]

Bitcoin is, in my opinion, not a get-rich-quick investment anymore.  Successful investing is typically about a plan you have, and not about getting rich quickly by speculating in the short term.

But why would this be a "red flag"?  There are no "red flags" that indicate something bad will happen.  Maybe a better description for focusing on a short-term, massive return is a "risky or potentially bad idea".

Why did you not outline those suggestion?

Any suggestion about Bitcoin reaching $250K are all speculations and not true until the market pumps in that direction which isn't certain.

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

Not a bad investment plan but short term investments are not advisable, there is always a case to imagine if you invest and price doesn't get upto $250K by the end of year, instead it deteriorate, can you withstand seeing your investment drop over 50% in your portfolio and not sell? Bitcoin is safe if you invest with the right amount and use a long investment approach, as you see Bitcoin is volatile and dips and bull can happen anytime.

[STT]

250k is froth, check your sources for excess caffeine.    No price is out of limits but you have to have deploy some kind of trajectory and trend ongoing to start saying things like that, we do not have that currently.

We got drift and we got a good positive bias over long term but high prices can mean we just stay high and slow and 150k is best you see this whole year.  Cannot be eliminated as a possibility but we can estimate based on current trends, nothing is saying 250k is fair not if you consider half the days left are non trading.    The ideal is high volume confirmation so it has to be working days etc.

There is a lot of speculation about the price of Bitcoin and its skyrocketing price trend. Many analysts and institutions have published their own reviews on where the price of Bitcoin will reach by the end of this year, but they are based on assumptions. Some institutions and individuals have said that the price of Bitcoin is likely to exceed $180k -$200k by the end of this year. You can arrange the credibility issue in accordance with the market or on your own investment perspective.

You should consider long term accumulation rather than expecting short term returns from Bitcoin. You should consider Bitcoin as an asset now, not a commodity. You should focus on continuing  regularly. I am doing this because I know that the Bitcoin strategy will be great for me in the future.

Do not put yourself at risk, accumulate Bitcoin through discretionary income. Be prepared for any price it can rise or fall at anytime.

Unrealistic.

I know that anything can happen for Bitcoin, but to see it doubling in just a span of less than 6 months? I don't think that's realistic at all knowing that it never happened, or maybe it happened during the early years of it, but currently, it's harder for Bitcoin to go up and double in just a short amount of time just because of how much money it is needed for Bitcoin's price to go up.

For me, Bitcoin will not go to as high as $250,000 for this year, and not even reach $200,000, and not even reach $150,000 as well. I might be wrong with the last one since there's a realistic chance that it might happen, but the first 2 is the ones that I don' think that will happen. As for buying now, well if you believe that Bitcoin's price will reach $250,000 this year then yes, but if not then no. Simple as that.

Speaking of Papa Powell, his speech a few hours ago really pumped the US Stock market and the crypto market as well because he stated on that speech that the current economic state of the country might push the FED to an interest rate cut this upcoming month.

Take note that they "MIGHT" do it, and yet the market pumped like crazy and many got liquidated on that one that's for sure.

It's quite realistic considering previous ATHs in the four-year cycle. While Bitcoin can usually surpass them based on performance, we never know how likely it is to reach that level by the end of the year. Buying now and hoping for a large profit by the end of the year during the upward trend we've discussed isn't dangerous, and even if Bitcoin doesn't reach that price by the end of the year, it shouldn't be a major problem for investors.

As long as people understand the investment process and have a plan to deal with the worst-case scenario, even if it does occur, it shouldn't be a major issue. The problem lies in the sharp decline, where deciding to sell Bitcoin out of panic during such conditions will result in losses, and if not, it shouldn't have any effect.

[JeffBrad12]

Should've made your own analysis honestly. If you're not so sure then maybe you should rethink it. Me as a long term holding very sure that 250k can be reached but it can be anytime. Personally even if the price is going down I won't budge because I'm holding for long term.
So basically see yourself whether it aligns with your plan of holding and whether you're sure with the price gain. Nothing ever 100% obvious with investing but $250k is quite realistic.

[michellee]

Buying Bitcoin now will be  a good decision. That is because you have the opportunity to make a big profit in the future. So it will not be too late to invest in Bitcoin now. But we don't know if Bitcoin can hit $250k by December. Even though that still realistic to have that speculation. So we can wait until December to see what will happen. I suggest you invest in Bitcoin for the long term so you don't have to worry if Bitcoin does not increase by December. You will still be accumulating more if the price is not increased.

It's never too late to start investing, so start now.
Besides, we can't determine whether the end of the year will be the last quarter.

This is a bit unrealistic, as people are free to speculate whatever they want, but a price of $150K is much fairer.

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

If Bitcoin reaches $250K by the end of the year, that's not a bad sign—it means you'll have a significant profit, right? 
If everyone knew that, they'd all switch to Bitcoin as their investment.

[DanWalker]

There are lots of suggestions pointing to the possibility of bitcoin getting to $250k by the end of the year, how realistic is that speculation?

If you only plan to invest for the short term, specifically from now until the end of the year, I have no investment advice for you.

I just have one advice that, bitcoin is unpredictable and not many people can predict bitcoin accurately. The value of Bitcoin depends on many factors such as supply and demand, macroeconomic situation, geopolitics, it does not depend on the wishes and thoughts of the crowd. I mean, just because everyone is optimistic and predicting that the price will hit $250k or $1 million by the end of the year, doesn't mean that it's definitely going to happen.

$250k is a big target and I am not optimistic that bitcoin can reach this target before the bull season ends.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I would say it's more likely than not, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

For me, yes, in general it is a red flag, but a red flag that you, as a person, are showing when you think about investing gambling in bitcoin in such the short term. Something much more reasonable would be to have a time horizon of at least 4 years.

The year is almost in it last quarter with few months to go but for bitcoin, investing now is not too late.

Investing in bitcoin for us is never too late, especially for those interested in coming in for the first time, however, we have to ensure that we make use of the best and most suitable strategy on this, because we cant afford to invest and then the market begins to go opposite our direction, we may go into loss, however, except that we are able to exercise some patience while holding for a long time that it may takes for it to pump up.

There are lots of suggestions pointing to the possibility of bitcoin getting to $250k by the end of the year, how realistic is that speculation?

$250,000 is what can happen this year and it may not happened until after the next halving coming in 2028, we cant predict how the market will go, we only have the expectation that the bull may continues and also the market will always pump and be favorable to investors and particularly those that were holding, most likely before the end of the year, we may have up to $150,000 but not sure of $250,000.

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

It all depends on how we can be able to hold, if we expect for this and it happens, then you're in profit, but if it doesn't, then you probably have to continue holding till the market is in favor of you, probable at another bullrun season.

[Ruttoshi]

Don't buy bitcoin because of the news of the price reaching $250k by December because that's not possible. Bitcoin hasn't touched $150k which no one knows if that price will be possible before the bears take over the market. Bitcoin price will surely reach $250k in future but not in this circle.

If you want to buy bitcoin, don't think of quick profits within a short period of time because bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme so that, you don't get disappointed and sell at loss when the price is against you. Buy and hodli for at least one circle.

[AVE5]

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

It's obvious like you may not know that it's totally a red flag to say anyone investing in bitcoin now will make such profits in the just few months before the year runs out. Maybe you don't know speculations is different from predictions or less say the $250,000 speculations is just what some individuals are predicting in hopefulness. Meaning it's not guaranteed. You just have to understand that there're different prices in speculations about what bitcoin Price will sit on in the short. Not arguable, most will come to pass at it due time but not at the time of speculators or analysts expectations. We also anticipate for $1,000,000 but all that will only be achievable in the long term somewhere unknown.
So advising anyone to invest on bitcoin for short term profits just by what you hears as speculations is totally wrong. Be more honest out there, bitcoin will get to $250,000 and above, both that's time is unpredictable. So don't misleading anyone that they can be successful if invest on bitcoin in this short term.
Anything can happen and moreover, you can't tell what will be the max price of bitcoin this year nor when the bull event will be over for the bear market.
