I have read many articles exaggerating bitcoin price prediction's from both those who claim to be professionals and diverse bitcoin enthusiasts which I felt the necessity within to drop this piece figuratively.
We are expecting too much from bitcoin in just a short time of about 13years since it's creation. By logic bitcoin is just a teenager who has not yet attained the status of adulthood like the forex market for example, yet it has penetrate and saturate the financial market (global economy) becoming the talk of the town in the internet like it has been here 50 years ago.
The high expectations should be moderated so we can be able to appreciate the milestone growth bitcoin price has made. Commensurable with its age bitcoin price is doing great and only those who are not highly expectant setting their price scale at a great distance of 100k, 150k, 200k will care to appreciate the feat, some even predict as high as $1M in the next bull run and when the price doesn't go even close as expected they complain that the performance of bitcoin has been poor.
And this can be so discouraging for investors that planned on long term hodling with such a high expectancy. Learn to treat bitcoin like a teenager that's just coming up and still has its future ahead of it and stop the unequal comparison with other financial instruments like gold that have been around for decades.
A number of persons might suggest i move the topic to speculation board, however I fondle it also suites here because the topic is not giving a prediction for BTC price but otherwise.
Nah, I think will we find even if we hear this kind of predictions and numbers. Lest you forget in very beginning, there are a lot of early investors who for unknown reasons, after investing on it think that it won't go that far. But look at where the price to this day, and we have heard stories that they have regret selling their stash when they just bought it at $1-$10.
Yes, the market is fairly young, but if you are going to compare it to other assets, it's one of the best mover in it's 10 years history.
So it could be a teenager, but it has a lot of potential obviously. So let's just welcome with open arms those predictions as I don't think it will discourage investors. On the contrary, I think it will make them invest more in the market.
