Do you think we are going to see a huge boom market to something like 200k Bitcoin in 2021 or 2022 followed by a gigantic crash to something like 40k Bitcoin?
I think this is very much possible.
This is what happened in 2013 with boom to $1000 Bitcoin followed by huge crash to $200 Bitcoin, and in 2017 boom to $20000 Bitcoin followed by huge crash to $3000 Bitcoin.
Some people speculate cycles are related to Bitcoin halvening events which happen every 4 years so it would fit the pattern of history if this is what happens.
And once Bitcoin hits ATH many people seem to get FOMO
You should think in terms of probabilities.
It's completely possible for a big exchange such as coinbase to be hacked. It's also possible for the US government to crack down. How likely are these scenarios?
I'd rate coinbase hacked as 80% possible to happen within the next 4 years with a 10% chance we'd have enough decentralization that the price effect wouldn't be a crash.
I'd rate US government crackdown at 10%
So, the possibility for a crash in the next 4 years is something like 80-90%
And the possibility for recovery in the next 4 is 90%
That's the way I'm going to place my bets anyway, I'll be waiting for that next dip to buy some more and if the price goes to 100k, I might even sell a little bit.
