For 2025 I see two strong positive possibilities (among others):
1. If they announce SBR (strategic bitcoin reserve) in US, the only way they can
accumulate bitcoin fast enough (and not overpay) would be to announce that if you send your bitcoin to SBR, all your cap gains are tax free. Of course, they could say that you also need to have it for one year or more, which could be just fine.
2. They could make bitcoin a permissible subject of a 1031 exchange. Before (in 2017), they specifically excluded it, but if that law would be amended, it would be another positive step for the price. 1031 exchange right now could only be done with real estate. This is basically a rule that you can "exchange" one RE property for another. Cap gains then are considered to be "transferred" to a new property. Before 2017 many types of property exchange were allowed, but the only remaining now is RE.

hey be prepared for uppity.
maybe we get to beat gold market cap.
I hope Schiff's anus is ready
Yep. Various times I hear Schiff talking about bitcoin as compared with Gold, and he will say thing like:
1) "bitcoin is only pumping because ETFs"
2) "bitcoin is only pumping because the US Government is pumping our bags"
3) "bitcoin is only pumping because people are deluded about bitcoin and they just pump it for the mere sake of pumping it"
4) "bitcoin is only pumping because China"
5) "bitcoin is only pumping because Bukele and El Salvador"
6) "bitcoin is only pumping because MSTR"
7) "bitcoin is only pumping because various shitcoins exist that causes bitcoin to rise in price"
8 ) "bitcoin is only pumping because Max Keiser told me about it when it was $10 and I thought it was a bubble then, and I still think it is a bubble"
9) "bitcoin is only pumping because blah blah blah"
Schiff tends to have a lot of lame and whiny excuses regarding why bitcoin is pumping and it should not be pumping which truly is irresponsible for him as a fiduciary to his clients if he is failing to allocate in responsible ways, even if he had taken a 1% allocation to bitcoin in 2012, when he first heard about it, he would have been in a much better hedged position... rather than his seemingly ongoing and increasingly obvious dumb whining about how the various price pumps of bitcoin are just artificial and have little to no substance behind them, so frequently it can be difficult to feel sorry for the guy..and I suppose his clients are dumb too for staying with him, even though Schiff should have some responsibility in regards to how he has been steering his clients over the years.

FTFY
...I had an idea recently that I wanted to present here, just for fun really. We have been in a range from about $99k - $103k for weeks now. Why might that be?
Perhaps because some HODLers (myself included) wanted to have a record, a "souvenir", that they sold some BTC at over $100k. A psychological thing. In my case, I just sold a smidgeon of BTC at a (bitbo.io) price of a bit over $103k. But, Gemini (my exchange) does not actually pay that. They take about 2% of the selling price (plus a fee). So, I only got my sale proceeds at an actual price of about $101,250. That is the first time I actually have a sale of BTC at a real price of over $100,000.
I would speculate that there are rather many who would take a slice of their HODLings for that psychological 6-figure sale. They did it! They can show their friends or family that they sold over $100k! What geniuses!
That might also mean that when those HODLers take that souvenir, there might be somewhat less selling, and BTC price can resume its upward march...
^--- The above is just a thought. I don't pretend that it means much or anything. I just present it, well, as something that that you all might enjoy or make you go "Hmm"...
Reading your post I feel motivated to sell some sats above 100k as well...
Hahahahaha
It's a sign.
Aka .. weak hands.
Aka dummy.. .
