Important notes:
Long-term forecasts for cryptocurrencies are primarily based on technical analysis and predictions stemming from market discounts and optimistic/pessimistic questions—not investment advice.
The market is influenced by volatile factors such as technology adoption, government regulation, upgrade phases (like Fusaka and Proto-Danksharding), and institutional demand.
