Topic: BitMEX founder projects $750,000 to $1 million #Bitcoin price by 2026 (Read 526 times)

That is probably the range where the next all time high may happen, however this is a rational approach to the whole thing, I say this because if an ETF was approved during the halving then the jump in the price we could see will be spectacular, and this could generate a massive amount of hype and make the price of bitcoin to grow at an impressive speed, and while that would be nice for speculators, I think there are many people that are hoping for the price of bitcoin to become less volatile and they may not like to see such an abrupt growth.

The trend continues and finally now the $30k resistance has been officially broken and reached a high of $35k yesterday.
This is a sign of a bullish start for Bitcoin and we will look forward to the next leg up.

People outside of crypto?
Maybe those who don't support crypto and always corner crypto.

You can probably read about Jim Cramer who said "Mr. Bitcoin Is About to Go Down Big".
But in reality, it just reversed and Bitcoin is bullish.
It was a reversal prediction, if Jim Cramer said down then it would go up.
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/10/11/mr-bitcoin-is-about-to-go-down-big-jim-cramer-expects-lower-prices/

A reasonable number right now is indeed $100k++, I'm targeting that for the nearest one and it's still quite reasonable for now.
But for the long term, anything goes.

First of all, I always see the predictor is from the crypto industry or related to the business like Michael Saylor or the BitMex founder who theoretically owns the Bitmex. Is there any people outside crypto industry that predict bitcoin price? Just want to know.

Our last All Time High is at $69K let's say $70K to reach $750K it need at least 11x times from the previous ATH which is super massive and I think for now the near number probably still at 100K to 150K

Varied predictive patterns make it easy for people to believe in the expectations of the speculators, attracting many people to make purchases for no apparent reason and only rely on the mirage of an abstract analyst in his research.

Yes we may accept their predictions but do not make the results of their analysis and predictions as our reference to determine our investment plan, because it will be very dangerous for risk management that we should have its own options in targeting the point of investment in investing.

We must take those predictions for what they really are, which is just a way to attract attention to themselves, and this is something that is very common at social media, in which influencers in order to become noticed need to make higher and higher predictions, but the reality often falls short of those predictions and anyone that was dumb enough to think that such a strong bull market was coming and used leverage to increase their potential profits even further is going to lose everything once those kind of predictions are proven to be false.

Not in the name of October but a few hours ago the bitcoin price rallied to $27.9K a few dollars away from breaking $28K I think it will be exceeded soon.

This is still in the middle of October I think the price breaking through the next resistance at $30,000 will be soon considering the current price is slightly stronger meaning that October will be even more "UP" considering this month is full of history with green gratification.

If the trend continues then it is likely that $30,000 will be broken soon.

There are many people who predict prices with nominal values beyond normal thinking. If you look at the price of bitcoin today, of course for me who prioritizes rationality in bitcoin price movements, a price of $250k alone is something that is very difficult to achieve for bitcoin. Moreover, up to $1 million, that is a fantastic number, and we need to calculate how much money in bitcoin volume must be there to reach that price. I can't count on that.

The interesting thing is, we don't know what the future will be like and how bitcoin will move and gain massive adoption, while when looking at macroeconomics and today's political tensions it is very vulnerable to bitcoin movements, this needs to be a matter of attention and calculation material to predict price movements bitcoins.

I think his mind flexing is cool. Many gold investors also suggest there will be huge weakening at usd at one point because of increased amount in supply that was shown in inflation. So prices of things will raise a lot (they claim we are at delay period because interest rates are still very high). To be honest I think this can massive price increase in Bitcoin and I am thinking about somewhere around 250k in couple of years. But 1m dollar suggestions are too exeggarated.

October isn't over yet, so don't jump to any conclusions too hastily. One more thing, history often shows that October is a good month for bitcoin, but there is no guarantee that October will always be a good month for bitcoin. Bitcoin is unpredictable, don't get your hopes up, and when it doesn't turn out as you expected, you start blaming history or people. Investing in bitcoin requires analysis and should be based on the current situation, not solely on historical patterns.


Bitcoin price has crossed $30k a few times this year but has not been able to stay above that level for too long, so it cannot be said that passing $30k or $40k is a sign of the season the bull is coming.

It could be that October will be just a name.
Yes, but we'll see how the end of October goes, if it can break $28k and above that's good enough.
But there are high hopes for a more significant surge.

Breaking the $30k price alone is an indication of the beginning of a bull run and being able to break above that price is good enough.
The end of the year if it closes at a higher price than it currently is would be a good indication.

But Bitcoin needs to get past some of the shocks that will occur because there is some FUD that will inevitably arise.

With the impending bitcoin halving and bull run, various well known exchange in the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin business are starting to create hype. The price of bitcoin, which is currently a well-known exchange in the economic sector, was recently predicted by a well-known person to be $5 million. And now Up until 2026, it will remain at $750,000 up to 1M$ each.

Why don't we believe it if the foundation is so strong? Even though a large portion of the population may work in this field, there is no reason to assume that it will actually materialize because rumors and opinions will always stay rumors.

There is no sign of a rise in October, during the middle of this month, I think many people dubbed "uptober" because looking at the previous year's cycle where prices have risen in this month, now it is still in the $ 26.5K area sometimes the end of the month likes to have a little spike we just wait for what happens later.

Yes, that's their point of hope after the spot ETF is approved, the opportunity to rise is still there I will not rule it out because the movement of bitcoin is always there suddenly to rise.

I feel the starting point of the bullrun should be in the $40K range, that is my view, but when starting from now it will be a little doubtful. More clearly what about the beginning of the year later in 2024.

The cycles will continue to change, see how this October is going.
It experienced a decline that no one expected even though October was dubbed as Uptober, but what happened?
The crypto market experienced a decline to the $26k price area.

Spot crypto ETFs will indeed be the focal point for hopes of a positive crypto market return.
Bitcoin still has a chance to rise until the end of October.

We all hope that this will be the start of a bull run cycle.
The transition from Bearish to Bullrun and will certainly be the point where Bitcoin starts looking for its bottom.

Why doesn't it make sense? I think it's still relevant to that number and I said at the end of 2024 it's clearly closer to 2025 maybe it will happen in Q1 2025 - but it's getting closer to the increase.

Even though the Spot ETF was approved by the SEC this year, for example, the price of bitcoin will not increase, my opinion is that bitcoin always has its own cycle after the halving. As for the positive news from the SEC, because it agrees, some of us are happy to hear it, it's just that my adherence to the cycle is very strong, so In early 2024/2025, perhaps the highest price will be in history again.

Anyway, that prediction is both overblown and bullshit at the same time. The inflation that would have to occur in just over two years has never been seen in the dollar, it would be inflation like that of countries like Venezuela and if you are going to predict apocalyptic scenarios you better have good arguments to back them up because they are not usually predictable.

One thing you need to understand about his prediction is that he predicts that there will be some massive event and lead to more money printing. So $1 in 2026 is maybe worth $2-3 today. So if there is massive printing and bitcoin hits $250,000 or so it’s basically same price as the top in 2021 if you account for inflation.

He is predicting a big financial crash and hence why many assets like gold, stocks, real estate will spike because the dollar will be useless.

These are bullish predictions of people who have a high stake in its growth, so I don't see anything special about it. They own Bitcoin. They are into a Bitcoin-related business. A bullish Bitcoin would benefit them first.

But just like them, I also believe that Bitcoin will one day reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. That will eventually come in the far or near future. It may or may not happen within our lifetime, but there's a high chance that it will happen. Bitcoin is the currency of the future.

Let's say everything is possible in crypto, we never thought in 2017 that we will reach almost $20k right? So we can put this speculation on the and see how it goes in 2026. Although we know that the most likely bull run will occur 2024-2025, and after that it will be bear market again.

Unless the cycle breaks, we have 2 bull run cycles and we never see any bear market.

But that's unlikely to happen as the everything starts in halving, happening every 4 years.

Would really be taking up this prediction rather than into those people or groups who had been sharing up their speculations that reaching up a million per coin on which it is something that not realistic at all but they do keep on pushing up that kind of idea that Bitcoin would really be hitting up that area but obviously these people had already filled up their bags and just like been said above that they are now trying to hype things up just to drive the price going upwards.By being just that realistic then we do really know that the price doesnt really move that fast on the way as it should be if we are speaking about million dollar kind of value on 2026.
We didnt even surpass out $100k point on this point and knowing that 3 years time wont really be that long then having such increase wont really reflect out on the time on how it do moves on a particular time frame.

Lets just stick into those realistic numbers rather than on making ourselves that too hopeful on prices which it isnt really that even realistic for it to be reached or would really be that
so hard even just on our wildest dreams but well if full adoption would kick in then possible but we know that it cant really be that so fast or in short time.

Looking at the Bitcoin price history and year cycle history, the prediction still does not make sense.  The suppose to be Bitcoin breaking of the ATH price should happen in 2025 not before it.  Although it is the nearest to reality in reference to the year when the prediction might happen, I think it is still way out of the market movement mark.  Unless several spot ETF applications are approved by SEC, I don't find any reason why the market will break ATH in the  year 2024.

Everyone has the right to speculate even if it sounds crazy.
You just need to respond wisely, whether it's in line with your expectations or not.

Of course, it's good if the goal is to attract more hamsters into the right cage.
Overprediction is a hype that is always created by people who have a lot to contribute in the real world and they do that for promotional purposes and
of course, they already hold in advance.

$120k is still a reasonable amount compared to predictions that reach $500k-$750k.
Extreme speculation like this will always appear ahead of a bull run and we should all be aware that this is an invitation to start buying bitcoin before the actual bull run comes

This is the point, don't take everything too seriously.
Do your own research, and pay attention to the speculation that is being done.
If it doesn't make sense be sure to hold your bag tight.

Don't take it serious if you know what's best for you, before Bitcoin hit 69k and turned back in 2021 many prediction are showing up on news online, from popular people in the financial sectors and also in crypto space, it's all a means to tie investors money down so that they can relax and dump on you all.

You as an investor should already have a price target for taking your profits right now, if you haven't figure this out already you are in the same category as those people who are trapped at the ATH of Bitcoin, thinking that Bitcoin will hit $150,000, if you let this deceivers get the best of you there will be sad stories to share by the end of 2025 going into 2026.

The reality price target is around 80k or 100k, I know many will target more but don't sit on your hands watching your return of investment roll down from the hills, start taking your profit and get them out of the way, there will always be fools in this market, avoid getting dumped on by the smart investors.

There is another prediction from Standard Chartered bank predicting a bitcoin price by the end of 2024 of $120,000.
Source: https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1712771899934064695

This definitely makes sense with their prediction compared to others above $500K, only we still don't know what it will be at that time? Now there has been a lot of speculation coming into the media about the bitcoin price after the halving. In the following year, so many may have predicted that the end of 2024 will be the highest peak again.

The price increase is too big to become a reality (one can remember when McAfee predicted a $1 million price). I think the only purpose of such predictions is to attract more hamsters when bitcoin starts its rally, which usually occurs after halving. Any other reason for such inflated predictions is hard to find.

People already assuming that 4 year cycle would really be an absolute thing to happen whenever we do reach out those particular years on which it would really be that not really that a guaranteed thing that it would really be still happening in the future which same as you said that we dont really even know if there would really be still some bull run on near future. Somewhat as long that adoption and recognition doesnt stop then those probabilities would really be still high but on the sense that there's no way on knowing on what the future brings, then it would be always recommendable that you should really be setting out those risks management well.
Only invest on the amount that you are really that willing to lose or something that wont really be ending up on devastation whenever this market would turns out to be shit or something not that good anymore.

Positive sentiments like this wont really be that much a shocking thing which these fellas had obviously filled out their bags and just trying out to make some positive sentiments to drive on the price
go up and then making some selling whenever the target hits. Therefore, it would be always ideal that you should really know on how to spot those kind of intents which it isnt really that
new or shocking thing on this market or space.

I have the same thoughts, such a performance will be too good to be true for this cycle, however such a price could be reached during the 2029 or the 2033 bull run, and that is assuming we get one, because as we know the halving effect is getting weaker each year due to the block reward getting smaller, and at some point this idea of a bull run happening some time after the halving may finally run into a wall and disappear as the cycles of bitcoin change.

That kind of price range could come this decade but if it does then I think it’s more likely in 2029, a year after the 2028 block reward halving. I think possibly that $750,000 to $1,000,000 per coin in 2025 or 2026 is a bit too much.

The only way I see Hayes being right here is if there is unprecedented institutional demand due to spot ETC’s being approved. Even then though it would take something like an epic run away from the $.

I think maybe 2028 or 2029 we could see those prices, if we’re lucky.

Isn't the year 2026 the time when the bull market starts to transition to a bearish market?  According to the 4-year cycle, the bull market never extends for a year, like in 2021, the year 2022 is the transition of a bullish market to a bearish one and the start of the correction from the overly hyped Bitcoin price resulting in new ATH.

I find it impossible to believe such a prediction especially when I have witnessed how history repeats itself from  2014, 2018, and 2022, when the Bitcoin market started to downtrend after Bitcoin reached ATH.

And there are predictions in the last bull run that we are going to hit $100,000, but the all time high we achieved in $69,000. So yeah, there is a cycle here, every 4 year we will have a big bull run, but sometimes the price prediction falls short because everyone is thinking that it will be really huge. So the question for this prediction is a big if, because we if think about it, might not hit it by 2026. But we all know that the bitcoin market might pull another big surprises so we will see and look forward. But first, incoming 2024/2025, hopefully we can really reach that 6 digits that we all have been wanting to see and it's going to be historic to us and as far as financial market goes.

Do not mind! In fact, I am happy with the expected 30x profit. LOL

They will speak as they please because they have the power as stock exchange owners, so what they say will definitely cause polemics, some followers will definitely believe those comments, but I'm not exaggerating too much, because for me this is quite excessive even though that could happen in 2026.

No one will talk like this, even if they have the most bitcoins, their bitcoins have a high value, as Saylor said, $5M.

Some people may find this kind of speculation interesting, but when you read it for more than 5 years, it all becomes boring and tiring, not to mention that in most cases such speculations are a complete failure. However, everyone who plays with numbers in this way has become interesting to the media, and if you can promote the company and yourself for free, why not do it? People have short memories anyway, if you're right everyone will talk about it, if it's the other way around no one will even mention it.

Realistically speaking, we are at the end of 2023 and the price is below $30k, and the question is whether there will be any major upward movements by the end of the year, and someone says "maybe even $1 million by 2026" and I can only laugh at that and nothing more.

The spot BTC ETF already exists in some countries of the world, futures exist even in the US, but some are obviously so convinced that the spot ETF in the US will be something that will pump hundreds of billions of $ into BTC, as if it is the only way for big players to invest in BTC.

It's not that I personally don't believe that there won't be an effect on the price if the approval of the spot ETF + halving is combined, but I guess we all know that the market is a two-way street where something is bought and sold, and pumping up the price of 1 BTC to $1 million is something that it does not seem at all realistic when it comes to the year 2026.

Many are predicting many prices to be honest. It’s obvious that people are predicting because we know 2024 will be really big for the Bitcoins. Bitcoins follow a 4 year cycle to achieve ATH price and 2024 is the 4th year. So yes there is high expectations that Bitcoins will cross atleast 69k usd by 2024. Now this will increase the hype among people and the demand to accumulate Bitcoins will again increase. So there is high chance that Bitcoins might cross 100k usd or even 750k usd by 2026.

Longtime market participants are familiar with these types of exaggerated predictions by celebrities and most dismiss them as bullshit. But newcomers will be very bullish about these predictions and they may hold bitcoin blindly. In my opinion, this is both beneficial and harmful for newbies: the advantage is that newbies will confidently hold their bitcoins with more conviction. But on the other hand, it's possible that those celebrities want to take advantage of market psychology to quietly take profits. They keep shouting that bitcoin will reach 750k or 1 million USD but they will silently sell when the price reaches 100k or 200k, and those who still believe what they say will become a liquidity pool for them.

I mean I dont mind bitcoin going to 30x of its current price, I am sure anyone reading this also does not.

These guys own an exchange and more price changes means more money for them, so they can make any comment they want, like seriously who cares? If they come out correct, they will just self-validate, if they dont, well nobody asked them to, they will just move or or their mouth shut about it.

Hence I dont give any importance to these type of social media posts. Let bitcoin grow and adapt, who knows what pandemic is waiting for us in the future and hence forget worrying and continue collecting bitcoin.

and it's not impossible, it only takes 38x to reach 1,000,000.
But the problem will be that the journey to $1m is the same as when the price is below $10.

There will be a lot of manipulations made and people taking advantage of the moment to take advantage of the price movement down or up.
I personally am not too enthusiastic about reaching $1 million, just want to see the new ATH above $100k, that's enough for me to sell some holdings for a profit.

Yes, this sounds like a troll that keeps appearing from various figures who say they are very influential.
Seeing a lot of crazy predictions and speculation from the beginning I got into Bitcoin and now it has become a common thing.

Whether or not you want to accept a prediction from someone else is your decision.
Bitcoin prices will certainly go up in the future, but make sure you are also ready for the decline.

Whether it's the Bitmex founder, or Elon Musk, or those so-called analysts out there, a prediction will always be a prediction. A speculation.

I mean I can predict that Bitcoin might reach $100,000 this year? Is it possible? Yes, but what are the chances of it to happen? Close to zero is my prediction. However, I will change my prediction, and I will say that "I predict that Bitcoin will reach 6-digits next year. Months after the Bitcoin halving, it will reach that price." Is it possible, but for sure there's a higher chance that it will happen.

An average person like me can share a prediction, so does other average persons like there, and so does Arthur Hayes, and because of this, I don't already take predictions seriously. A troll can make their prediction, so does those influencers out there. Anybody can share their predictions, their speculations towards the price of Bitcoin.

On the other hand, one thing's for sure though. Bitcoin's price will rise in the long run... or is it??

So, basically, for Bitcoin to really shoot up, we're talking about some bad mojo hitting a major country's economy. It's like folks shifting their cash over to dodge that whole recession deal. And you know what's wild? Bitcoin's shown time and again it can hold its own even when big-shot countries are stumbling. It's like this crypto safe haven, right?

But the big question is, how likely is that recession scenario to go down?

He did a video recently on this, it’s almost 3 hours long but it talks about the reasons why he thinks it might hit those figures. He also explains why it won’t happen right away.

The way he describes the trouble that the US government is in with all these spending deficits it makes it scary to think what might happen in the near future for the US bonds. But he basically thinks there will be a recession, then money printing and then bitcoin will rally.

I would be very happy if it really came true. But it is a prediction and will remain a prediction where we do not know whether it will actually happen. There is no need to take it seriously because there will be many more people who will predict what the price of Bitcoin will be in the future.

The important thing is that we can prepare ourselves for whatever high prices Bitcoin will reach. If you have a lot of Bitcoin, more than 100 BTC, you don't need to think about how high the price is because you will get big profits, especially if you can buy a lot of Bitcoin at the current price.

We will see whose predictions can come true in the future.

That's fine mate, we should really take those predictions with a grain of salt, not seriously because those people that are making this predictions could have some narrative behind why they say that this X amount = 1 BTC in the future.

So we will let it slide, but then again, we should also extrapolate the data and can make our own predictions and see if it will be hit in the future or not.

My point is that there's nothing wrong with making predictions here, so it can be a success or failure, we really don't know until we crossed the bridge

well when btc dropped under 10 dollars right after the first ½ say sometime in dec of 2012. I would never believe 9 to 1200 in 11 months.

about 130x

to go to 1,000,000 in 2 years would be 38x

Since 2021, I have no longer taken these predictions seriously because they are statements that people circulate due to their strangeness, but they are not based on any logical basis, mathematical analysis, technical analysis or prediction of price movement. They are just statements that appear first because they are controversial, just as many people do by saying strange opinions to stir up controversy and get people talking about them.

If we reach the price of 200 thousand, it will be a miracle, not a million.

And that's what everyone is waiting on, for the parabolic movement during the bull run.

That's okay, it's up to you if you're going to digest all of these high predictions because you'll never know if it's the one that you're waiting for or optimistic with.

But I agree about being realistic but who knows if this second thought that everyone is having about that price for a short period of time will come into reality.

No one really knows what will happen in the future and this is why we're rounded with speculations and predictions.

It’s good that most people see great feature in Bitcoin especially in the high value price which they are predicting for it, personally I think Bitcoin is currently devalued compared to what it could have worth base on it’s use case and how many people have adopted it as there daily usage currency.

But the price which it has been predicted to reach I will say it’s not over rated but it will be hard to achieve considering the time frame here, we know when it crosses the 60+ everyone was least expecting it, but a $700,000+ - a million dollar is a whole lot of money all together which will be hard to meet in a period of 1-2 years, not saying it’s not possible but the chances are really small here unless the world economy is being hit by a global recession which can devalue local currency and the million dollar will be less in value and purchasing power decreased compared to what it is now.

I mean when you say something like 2026, it almost guarantees that nobody will remember you saying this, so if you are wrong then you are not going to mention it and not many people will remind you of this neither, but if you are right then you have the chance to keep reminding everyone how you were right. I can't say that he is absolutely wrong, but the most likely outcome would be not achieving that much, obviously as founder of BitMex he wants people to keep buying, that means fee's paid to him so he wants more volatility and more volume and he will want people to be active, but that just means he is biased against the price. I would guess breaking over 100k should be our goalpost for the time being, lets do that first and we can check the rest.

Predicting or speculating bitcoin price around $1 million seems as fiction for me comparison with current Bitcoin price under $27k, not easily raise above $100k and how possibility with bitcoin will reach $1 million depend on not any impossible yet with cryptocurrency. But have be realistic with bitcoin price predicting depend on when raise higher price always correction moment are waiting for, need more longer time although upcoming halving time can't guarantee for bitcoin raise above $100k.

Seems realistic prediction with bitcoin price raise or make new all time high above $70k, I don't think have huge expectation with bitcoin will up drastically in short time or few years later.

Hayes is known for some bad predictions. He was even featured in an article about the worst bitcoin predictions ever, next to McAfee and Tom Lee. You can google it with ease.

Most of these people throw prices around to gain publicity and it works because as you can see news sites publish articles about it and we discuss it on the forum.
If this was someone credible with a lot of past experience, but this is an exchange owner who AFAIK had one good prediction in his life somewhere in 2019 when he said that bitcoin will climb up to 10k and then above it. Many people predicted a bull market to start in 2020 so this wasn't one of those unexpected predictions that allowed a few believers to make money.

Yes, but we all know that bitcoin price movement is not going to be parabolic, it can only happen during bull run. Just like in the beginning when no one thought that we can buy a lot of bitcoin for $1.00 in 2009.


Sometimes we need this kind of predictions though, I mean we should stay and be positive and let it attract some positive vibes. However, we should still be realistic that it might take some years to see this kind of big price for us.

I mean we even haven't hit our first target of $100k in the supposedly bull run that is coming our way for the next two years. So it's really hard to digest this kind of price prediction as early as 2023, just saying.

Anything could happen with Bitcoin. It has a limited and fixed supply, so the price could grow depending on demand. A $1 million price target is still realistic, considering that in the past, people couldn't imagine Bitcoin going from $1 to $10,000, but it happened. So, I wouldn't question that prediction, especially when more people are bullish about Bitcoin's future.

What we need now is to drive a bullish market. Although there have been some minor runs, we still cannot confirm if we are already in a bullish period. Perhaps after the halving occurs, since it's usually a driving factor for a bullish market.

Achieving $1 million in less than 2 years would be awesome. I hope we won't be tempted to sell when it reaches half of that price.

It seems more like science fiction to me too, especially since this prediction is for the next few years. But bitcoin has surprised absolutely all people repeatedly, so why not. Although I also think that after the upcoming halving the price will be around 100-120k.

It is still very difficult to predict whether this year is really bearish like the previous cycles or there is something different where prices are still high?
Because the bitcoin cycle - Halving > Bullish > Bearish, this is just a prediction, sometimes it will be different from the previous cycle because of some other factors and forces that make the price stronger.

My optimism is a little small that is expected in this wild guess although this is very likely to happen in a few years time, but I will see how bitcoin adoption is greater maybe it is a little effect where bitcoin will not have another bearish decline after halving, but I think it is unlikely. 

Im already that numb when it comes to these predictions on which they could say all the numbers that they do want but im not really that making myself that believing that it could really happen.
Lets stick into that realistic side of things that we do even have a hard time on breaking 30k. How much more into that previous ATH that it does have which is $69k. Lets talk about $100k first
before speaking about +100k increments overtime. Well, everything could really happen considering that there are still tons of various source of money could flow to crypto. It is really just that there's no way that it could really be known or predicted on when it would really be that going down the stream.

$100k is already a struggle is should say but well we are still on pre-halving season or time on which there's still lots of room for the price to rise up.It is really just that recommended or right on investors or traders perspective that we should really be having that realistic approach at least so that we arent that anticipating that much about into those numbers been mentioned. Lastly, it seems like those fellas
had already filled up their bags and now trying out to make some bullish sentiment and just trying to drive the market up.

Saylor had to do it - it was part of his way of maintaining his optimism and motivation to hold onto bitcoin and continue accumulating it. I don't know - I don't think it's unusual for it to hit $5M, but I'm sure it won't be hit without major support like the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs and the halving.

I agree that $1 million and $5 million is not an impossible price for bitcoin in the future - but I believe that bitcoin will need major support to reach that price. But I wonder if anyone would still have the guts to buy $5M worth of bitcoin that times and their hold for long term - maybe Saylor?

Michael Saylor has been truly drinking all the kool-aid there was. I wish i had that optimism. But when you are largest whale, i guess it would be stupid for your bags to set low estimates.

I sort of agree with this, but major asset managers most likely won't be holding any bitcoins themselves in any actual wallets.
They most likely trade syntethics in some of their legit exchanges.

This is very bullish and I wonder how the whales behave during this level because for sure, they will take profit most of the time and we will be down again. Well, I’m hoping for this level to happen since everyone of us here believe in the future of Bitcoin its just that its too good to be true. If you have Bitcoin holdings better to predict more realistic and hold onto that price prediction until it happen.

That guy was drunk most probably when he predicted that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2026. Although, it's not impossible for Bitcoin to reach $1 million value but 2026 is too early for it to reach that price mark. I can safely say that Bitcoin may reach $1 million mark after 2030 but not earlier than that. I'm also a Bitcoin supporter and I believe that it will grow in value without any doubt but trusting such claims is some kind of stupidity. What I believe is that Bitcoin may reach $100k or above in value in 2026 but it will has to face another bear market which might make its price to dump once again.

With parabolic movement of Bitcoin, everything is possible.

I am not against to the positive and high predictions and everyone is entitled for that. But when these times are coming, what I have noticed are these all bullish predictions.

It's like that whenever these come, isn't it scary when everyone is happy and taking these predictions that much? I am for it and has always been bullish but you know when there are bloods in the streets and about everyone being happy and greedy, right?

I've got my own prediction as well but not that too early but more likely after the 2nd halving on 2028 and up.

Yeah, just like when we have a lot of predictions as well when we approach bear market, similar to what we are hearing and seeing from different personalities that is involved in bitcoin. Specially those who have been very early, and so others might view their prediction as somewhat has some weight, although everyone here can make his/her own wild but educated guess.

So we will see, 2026 though might be a bear market year? Because if we look at the pattern 2024-2025 will be the bull run, so the next after that we might see a decline i price. Nevertheless this is just a prediction so we really don't know if this is going to be a hit or miss.

I can't be at all sure that either of those two predictions will come true in just 3 years from now. It may seem difficult, but anything is possible. Many predictors or speculators out there believe in the great potential of bitcoin in 2024,2025 and 2026, but we still cannot be sure of anything because we do not know the future.

The price of bitcoin could reach $750k or $1m if bitcoin can print 3x the price of the previous ATH in the next bullish cycle. That's probably one of my considerations about hitting $1m in the next 3 years, but right now that's too bullish to say.

I think it was also Micheal Saylor who predicted BTC to be $100k by 2020 bull run, we know how it goes. This time I think we can already assume he meant this priection will be in the next 5 halving. New investors in crypto should just be watching the chart by the time the bull market is at its peak because it may also be quick when it goes down and not expect too much to reach $200k.

This prediction is for the new investors who will patiently wait for $1M while BitMEX founder is busy dumping.

Do I think that in the case of a systemic economic crisis at the beginning bitcoin will suffer but then it will do great? I do, however what no one knows is when such crisis will finally get to happen, and while such crises seem to appear out of nowhere, at the same time the economy has resisted despite the huge difficulties we went through the pandemic, so I am not so sure that such a collapse of the economy could appear so soon.

I do not think it is right to make such high price predictions. Famous people who make predictions must base their predictions on logical reasons. Everything has a stage and a path to go through. Maybe this price will be realized in the coming years, but for me it is more important through which stages it will reach this price.

Will Bitcoin be available worldwide? Will states legally accept Bitcoin? I think these phases are more important than the Bitcoin price.

Wait what!! he thinks BTC can reach $70k by the end of 2024 and $750,000 to $1 million by 2026. I mean, we all become a little sensitive when we spend a lot of time analyzing the market and economic events. And ideas/predictions come to our mind and sometimes those predictions are so unrealistic that, a normal person (like me) can see them coming.

It's not going to happen very soon. And we might not see BTC at 1 million dollars maybe till 2030. I mean, I know the US is facing problems with interest rates, and ETFs have also a good impact. but BTC's price does not only depend solely on the US factors solely and depends on the demand and supply factors mostly.

Well, still, if this happened then I would regret using my BTC for my daily needs but just like laszlo, I have to accept my faith. 

That's just speculation and many other different speculations.
Whether it is true or not is only a matter of time.
Speculation without analysis can obviously never be trusted.

There will be many different predictions about what price Bitcoin will reach in the future.
The current price of $100k-$150k is still quite realistic for the upcoming ATH, retail investors still have the opportunity to buy at a low price before it hits $100k and above. 

Those who have many followers, are famous, and have great power on social media can only influence through speculation.
As there are many positive speculations being discussed, of course, this is also a good opportunity to start buying Bitcoin.
The ups and downs of Bitcoin prices cannot be avoided because indeed bitcoin price fluctuations run quickly.

But stay alert to the various manipulatives that will occur later.
Don't try to fight the direction without any strength.

But is there any law or rule that says bitcoin will move exactly according to these people's predictions? I mean, just because market influencers make predictions doesn't mean things will work out as they say. They, like us, are bitcoin investors and they hold even more bitcoin than we do, so I would be more cautious when they try to exaggerate the price for bitcoin. Don't forget that their goal is no different from ours, which is profit, so always be skeptical of what they say. The fact that they are bullish about bitcoin is a good thing because it will attract more people to know and participate in bitcoin but everything has its motive and purpose, so be careful.

Furthermore, whether these celebrities make predictions about bitcoin or not, bitcoin will still increase in price because it is cyclical and the demand for bitcoin is increasing. Bitcoin price increase is inevitable.

Don't know if this will be the rise of bitcoin after halving, because there has been so much speculation with fantastic numbers no wonder they are so confident with that number but we as retail investors are quite realistic with the number $100K - $150K. Maybe they are trying to create FOMO from now on to make the upcoming bullish?

The speculation about the future price of bitcoin that I have seen ($5M - $1M - $500K - $100K) there is nothing wrong with that prediction but when an exchange leader says it then it makes the news and is broadcasted.

Who wouldn't be happy with $750K in 2026? But I doubt it will happen.

$1M Bitcoin valuation speculation is not new here.. as far as I know, a couple of months ago a micro/macroeconomist named BalaJii created a thread on the speculation of Bitcoin in 90 days. At that time there were so many positive rumors supporting his speculation as Blackrock's spot EFT application and other initial adoption indications. In short, his speculation got weightage at that time due to positive market sentiments. But I think even 150 + days are gone and there's nothing like that even hinting at the market.

At that time market was looking favorable and now in the current timeline, there are a lot of challenges we can consider but it will require a lot of developments back to back to boost market price to this level.

Again and again, very bullish predictions are aimed at bitcoin.
Previously Michael Saylor predicted Bitcoin would reach a price of $5 million

This time Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes also explained his prediction

He even said Bitcoin in 2026 will reach a value of $750,000 to $1 million, this is a fantastic figure, considering that currently, Bitcoin is still at a price of $27k-$28k.

The main reason is because he anticipates a financial crisis that could cause interest rates to drop to zero, or a scenario where interest rates increase, but not as fast as the level of government spending. In such a situation, Hayes argues that Bitcoin could be worth around $70,000 by the end of 2024, partly driven by a crypto-halving event.

He also foresees the launch of various exchange-traded funds by major asset managers in the US, Europe, and possibly Hong Kong.
Hayes explains, "That's when the real bull market starts."

Is this a sign of the rise of Bitcoin?
so many predict Bitcoin to reach a fantastic price in the next few years.
