Again, that moment when analysts of all kinds — from startup founders in California to hamsters on Reddit — shout in unison: 'BTC is going to the moon!' Moreover, in the best traditions of the cryptocurrency bubble, predictions start from 'just' $119,000 and end somewhere between 'the new world currency' and 'one coin for an apartment in central Paris'.
But let's take it step by step.
Scenario 1: The Institute of Berli... oops, Berkeley. BTC Predictor!
At the esteemed UC Berkeley, there is now a tool called BTC Predictor. There, the guys with smart faces and even smarter graphs predict the price of Bitcoin with 'minute accuracy'. They even analyze Twitter. Because, of course, if Elon Musk writes in the morning 'Bitcoin is cool', that's definitely a signal to buy!
Pause for irony.
And all would be fine, but these 'predictions' work about as well as the weather in Latvia: sunny on Monday, snow on Wednesday, and who knows what on Friday. But at least it's beautiful.
Scenario 2: Coinpedia says — $167,598. Well, maybe.
Coinpedia claims: BTC could reach $167,598 by 2025. Moreover, the 'average' price will be $119,713. Very convenient — you can guess any rate in this range and then say: 'I told you so!'
Binance, more modest in its fantasies, predicts $123,293 by 2030. And this is, I remind you, with an annual growth rate of just 5%. Pessimists, you might say? Rather realists, tired of memes like 'HODL to the moon'.
Scenario 3: CoinLore and SimpleSwap. Or how to guess three times in a row.
CoinLore believes that by 2030, BTC will be worth $369,701. Yes, yes, almost $370k. Convincing, if you forget about the Fed, the global recession, and the fact that your neighbor just sold Bitcoin to buy a new iPhone.
And here SimpleSwap just decided: 'Why not?' — and issued a forecast: $252,724 in 2025 and $636,984 in 2030. Caution, at such numbers you might open a new window in your browser — with a Lamborghini in the cart.
And the classic of the genre — Stock-to-Flow
The favorite model of all 'Bitcoin maximalists'. The principle is simple: if there are few Bitcoins — it will be expensive. And it's hard to argue with that. But, as the events of 2022 showed, even if you're rare — it's no guarantee that you'll be bought.
And now a bit of honesty
Bitcoin is cool. It's freedom, decentralization, and a way not to keep money in a bank that will close on Friday night. But it's also emotional swings, where every word from Elon Musk can ruin your day. Or make you a millionaire.
So will BTC be worth 100 thousand? Maybe.
Will it be worth 10 thousand? Maybe.
Will it be lying somewhere around $35,000 after someone's tweet? Almost certainly.
Output
Don't just listen to the gurus. Look at the charts, read the analytics, and don't forget one simple truth — while you're arguing about whether BTC will be worth $150k, someone is calmly mining and already buying themselves a house.
