🔍 Key Factors Influencing 2025 Price:
1. Bitcoin Halving (April 2024) – Historically drives prices up 12–18 months later.
2. Institutional Demand – ETFs and custody solutions have increased legitimacy.
3. Macro Conditions – If inflation rises or fiat weakens, BTC often gains appeal.
4. Regulation – Clearer U.S. and EU laws could boost trust and demand.
5. Market Cycles – Based on past 4-year cycles, 2025 could be a peak year.
📉 Bearish Risks to Consider:
Major hacks or exchange failures.
Harsh regulations (e.g., outright bans).
Loss of public interest or hype.
Global economic collapse reducing liquidity in risk assets.
