Topic: BTC’s Epic Journey Toward $83,000 and the Rise of CEXs (Read 88 times)

100K is surely achievable.
And even more than that, in my opinion.
Just you wait and see - big hands are no joke when the rally pushes for the price to go up initially 
We will see lots of different opportunities during this run, just like in the previous ones.

KYC is a no-no for some - but then again, DEXes are there for a reason, though they are not as convenient, and sometimes, they have problems with liquidity and so on.
So overall - BTC all the way up, with or without CEXes, they won't be the catalyst for its growth in the way that the world's events affect it.

CEXes are good for their own reasons, DEXes - too, so both have their pros and cons.
And we are totally going much higher.
Too 100k and beyond, maybe.

2012 was a long time but what about the years beyond it? Remember, BTC is said to be invented on 2009/2010. These years are when it struggles a lot to build its name. Luckily it find its way up. Fast forward on 2012 again, BTC is a bit known and had some nice value (finally).

Indeed it takes dedication to got this far if they are one of the OG's in BTC investing but other than that, it also needs a good head and feeling. $83k is not a joke amount, especially for just a digital currency, so it make sense on why it takes over a decade for it to reach this high. After a day or two from your post here, BTC just broken another ATH ($93k) and the value of the coin is now around $88k levels

I guess its decision is now final that it will really hit the $100k that many of us are wishing even before. BTC is actually more decentralized before than now, but in the middle of its run or on its peak, I think yeah that CEX are already a big part of it. If I can name one, I will mention Binance, since it was also very popular that time. They are still a top exchange now but a lot of restrictions have been applied on them later on, and that affected them greatly. In the early days, trading was actually simple but I think it's a bit risky, since there is no KYC yet. So KYC isn't worse as many people perceived.

$100K feels within reach, especially with the momentum BTC has built up. Each milestone is not just about the price but the psychological impact that drives both retail and institutional interest.
 CEX and Regulation – You raise a solid point. As adoption widens, I think regulatory frameworks will tighten, potentially making CEXs more compliant yet stable entry points. While decentralization is ideal, CEXs provide that bridge for mainstream access and even if they become less central in the far future, I believe they’ll still play a critical role in onboarding users into crypto.

1. We aee going much higher in 2025.
2. There will be a correction like always in bull markets but we are going higher.
3. CEX’s make buying & selling crypto easy, they will continue to flourish.

1. $100k is coming
2. as from current chart, well apparently $83 is a pivotal moment.
3. CEX probably gonna be regulated heavily moving forward, as bitcoin become more and more popular regulation will be created to put safety measure.
but BTC will be available anywhere once it really took off, so I think CEX will be somewhat less relevant in the future. doesn't mean it will be irrelevant.

We've got another all time high, Bitcoin just checked and reached $87k as of typing this. This isn't a crucial moment for long term holders but for someone who looks at a quick profit, you're all in it to decide because many seem to be looking forward to $100k. But I know when many are greedy, that's when something bad might happen.

They play an important role because liquidity and volume are mostly happening there.

It’s wild to look back at where Bitcoin was in 2012, Many of us remember when BTC was valued at just a few dollars with only the truly dedicated diving in.
Fast forward over a decade and Bitcoin is now approaching an $83,000 milestone a testament to the power of decentralization and the resilience of the crypto ecosystem.

But Bitcoin’s journey has been closely tied to the growth of centralized exchanges (CEXs). In the early days, trading was limited and often complicated, but the rise of CEXs transformed crypto access. These platforms didn’t just make BTC trading easier; they opened doors for thousands of altcoins, expanding the market and giving investors a wide range of options. Today, CEXs offer a full suite of services, from spot trading to derivatives, staking, and even yield opportunities, making crypto more accessible and diverse than ever.

With BTC at the edge of this new price level, I’m curious:
1. What are your thoughts on its trajectory from here?
2. Is $83,000 just another checkpoint, or do you think we’re reaching a pivotal moment?
3. And how do you see the role of CEXs evolving with Bitcoin’s growth and the ongoing rise of altcoins?
Let me hear your take.
