#BTC An expert predicted that Bitcoin will rise to $220,000 in 2025.

By the end of the year, Bitcoin is expected to grow to $220,000 or higher if the correlation between the first cryptocurrency and gold is maintained.

The forecast is based on the valuation of Bitcoin in ounces of precious metal and its reflection through an exponential function, taking into account the cyclical nature of the asset.

The tie to the US dollar distorts the real value due to the inherent inflation associated with fiat currency. The idea is that the value of gold should compensate for the decline of the USD in real terms.

According to calculations, the current market capitalization of the first cryptocurrency is 643.02 million ounces.
