I have been hearing about his model for many many months. Is it possible? Sure it is but I don't think it can be achived in such little time such as 1 year. Maybe 4 years or so. And I think $288K is a stretch.
Bitcoin went up almost 23x between December 2016 and December 2017. From here that would be ~$370K. So it's really not that crazy.
Personally I'm hoping things will progress more slowly, with a bit more 2016-style consolidation below the previous ATH. I'd love to see S2F get invalidated and PlanB's followers capitulate,
and then see the market bubble up to $300K 6 months or a year afterwards.
This model has to eventually fail, if it doesn't then by like 2025-2030 it will predict like $50 million BTC/USD which is just not possible.
Agreed.
Yes but back in 2016, how many people do you know that have heard of bitcoin prior? Unless you mentioned to your friends or family , most people never heard of it before. Now most people have heard about it one time or another.
The adoption that happened in 2017 was huge compared to the past and I think its also larger than the adoption that we are getting now. This huge surge of new investors is what brought BTC from $600 to $20000 in such little time. Now however look at Google trends for "bitcoin", not even close to what it was before.
That's why I don't think we will see the 23x as we did in the last cycle. The paypal route is great because it makes it easy to buy and hold BTC. So the onramp is enabled for millions and they don't need to open a exchange account. Even my dad has a Paypal account and he has no idea how to use a computer pretty much.
The slower progress would be good however BTC whenever it breaks ATH, it usually moves exponentially up. Usually it progresses slowly when it reverses from the bear market. However who knows, maybe this time it will be different.
