If you purely look at how much growth we have experienced this year, and just straightly assume it will stretch out till next year, then the $25,000 level doesn't seem like a major obstacle to overcome. However, we have to understand that the growth we have gone through this year is abnormally high, and will likely not be experienced in a similar fashion again in the forthcoming years. It's beyond insane that Bitcoin goes up like 900% in a matter of eleven months. These level of growth rates are usually only something happening with altcoins due to their insanely thin markets.
