I'm pretty sure most of the buyers who buy BTC, for now, are expecting it to be the strongest asset and less volatile (compared to other cryptos), which is good for mid-term and long-term investment. What most people are waiting to happen is the alt season where the 20x-50x that you are saying for is gonna happen.

Theoretically yes a holders will hold his coins and not sell it until the price reach high amount, so he will not buy it.

But the fact is many peoples are still buy and sell Bitcoin, look how high the volume today right now $65,039,919,084 [1] it mean even Bitcoin price become higher, many buyers is still entering the market. Most of the market volume is from the traders.

Especially the less likely more people will buy (well individual buyers so to speak) i know institutions and big corporations won't have problem buying even when the price reaches a new highs, assuming btc is now trading at $100k, not many people will be interested in buying at that price because they may feel it will be hard to get a good return of investment, but knowing the capability of btc, it is very likely to see x2, only those who have the market experience will know this, new joiners won't understand it so.
What i sometimes pounder about most is, at what point will btc price stop increasing? because we keep seeing different predictions and the possibilities of btc to reach such predictions.

I agree with you, because this is not just a guess-it is information that has been confirmed by many experts and actually makes sense. But it seems to me that the biggest issue is precisely the time frame. And no one can say exactly when this is going to happen and what potential will meet our expectations 100%. And yet in theory it is possible to imagine such a situation - that bitcoin at some very unexpected moment, right on the peak can lose its value and collapse sharply at the very moment when people will be celebrating their profits. I do not fully believe and understand such independence of bitcoin and I think that in time it may present not only pleasant surprises.

If btc goes to 100k it will "only" have (more or less) doubled from its ATH.
Bitcoin's previous ATH was $20k and double that is $40k which was reached. Double that is $80k which will be reached too.

until up to now we were used to 10-fold, 20-fold + increases, so doubling the money has not been really special.
10x, 20x, rises are bigger than double (2x) rises Cheesy

But this smaller reward ratio is paired with a much bigger risk ratio, since btc's swings in a correction period will also get bigger.
no it won't be bigger. If you have $1 worth of bitcoin when it goes from $10 to $20 you make the same amount of profit as when it goes from $1000 to $2000 or $40,000 to $80,000.
Same with drops. You would have lost the same amount of money when price fell from $1200 to $150 or from $20,000 to $3,200 (87% versus 84%) and when it falls from $500,000 to $100,000 (80%).

And the fear of FOMO will also become smaller, as people will at one point accept, that the train has left the station.
Irrational people will always act the same exact way, they will continue panic selling and panic buying no matter what the price is. The only thing that will change is the size of the market ergo their effects on the price.

Quote
Of course, should btc show convincing signs that it could reach 1 Million very quickly, then the whole picture changes.
Reaching $1 million will also be slow just like all the previous targets. There is no reason to show any signs or even reaching it quickly. It is all a matter of adoption and adoption happen slowly.

Maybe what you mean is that  as the price increases in the future, the exponential growth will slow down, which is true. However, what makes the argument is that bitcoin is going to be scarce as well, that's why it is the most sought asset in crypto because of this one. Yes, the growth might stall, but with more people looking to buy at whatever price it is, I doubt that there are less buyers that are going to enter, on the contrary it might balloon as everyone is looking to make bigger profits in the future.

People would hold Satoshi for years in the hope that it would reach million dollars mark. Eventually they would die of old age with a lost password key.
As Bitcoin reaches the value of a Trillon dollar , we are gonna see a swing of hundred billions in a day —- which is similar in size of small to mid size country’s GDP. It’s incredible.
I think There will be lows and highs. Take the advantage to buy more or add more if it's going down.

I strongly believe it will reach 1 Million a coin because:

1. Gold will become obsolete (too hard to move around, to transaction and its supply grows 2% each year)
2. BTC is limited in supply (~15 M active coins for the whole world is nothing!)
3. The future is crypto money, we won't be living in ice age forever

The banks are scary like... they will do everything they can to stop it, but will fail.

If btc goes to 100k it will "only" have (more or less) doubled from its ATH.
From there it will need to rise another 100k in order to double again. I don't say this is not a good investment, but first of all crypto owners are spoiled, until up to now we were used to 10-fold, 20-fold + increases, so doubling the money has not been really special.
But this smaller reward ratio is paired with a much bigger risk ratio, since btc's swings in a correction period will also get bigger.
For hodlers who are in from the very beginning, it won't matter much probably, but where will btc find new buyers when it has reached 100k and needs to go up another 100k in order to double again in price?
And the fear of FOMO will also become smaller, as people will at one point accept, that the train has left the station.
Of course, should btc show convincing signs that it could reach 1 Million very quickly, then the whole picture changes.
