Bitcoin has recently entered a key phase in its market cycle, according to Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat. In a Nov. 29 interview with Wealthion, Lee suggested that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 within the next 12 months. He explained that the halving event, which reduces the supply of Bitcoin, combined with rising institutional interest, is setting the stage for a price surge. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at $97,343.

Lee believes that Bitcoin's price will follow its historical pattern, with a significant increase in value following the halving cycle. He said current conditions make it "highly probable" that Bitcoin will hit $250,000 next year. One of the factors contributing to this is the shift in the political landscape in the United States, with an incoming government that has shown support for Bitcoin. Lee pointed out that if the U.S. begins to accumulate Bitcoin as part of its strategic reserve, it could lend further legitimacy to the cryptocurrency and boost its price.

This is just another dose of positive prediction that may (or may not) happen to Bitcoin in 2025 which is fast approaching. I am looking forward to a big bull run next year...maybe at the level we have never seen before that can push Bitcoin to the moon and beyond as well as help many alts to also explode. Personally, if Bitcoin can successfully get into the $150K zone I would already be so happy but if this $250K speculation will come true then i would surely be laughing to the bank. Of course, we should be maintaining a cautious attitude to this thing while positively wishing that this can really come true.

to be fair every and any prediction is only a prediction until it comes true even if some are arguably more logical and sensical than others they are still nothing but predictions

there will definitely be a big explosion next year but people are probably looking at the past growth of bitcoin which is huge yes and they are expecting it to happen on today's bitcoin but it might not happen because bitcoin is not as little back then anymore so $250k is definitely optimistic but bitcoin can always surprise so only we can do now is wait

If this prediction should really happen then bitcoin will surely be a bigger asset to holders both investors and traders. If this prediction is likely to happen in the next coming year then Crypto world will be more stable and it will really gain a lot of popularity. Just be little pump that happen the crypto world gain more popularity and it has been supported by many government in small other countries and has been prove to be more profitable.
  With what @bitterguy28 said prediction is nothing but prediction what ever the strategy meant be is still under probability, so this might likely to happen or not but if it comes true then Bitcoin or cryptocurrency won’t only gain popularity but Bitcoin will move more forward to the Top Assets by Market cap and maybe probably it might surpass Gold itself. Wow what a Perfect and Beautiful Opportunity for bitcoin.
But all we could wish for is for the prediction to come to reality we hope it comes at least a lot of traders will gain more profits and many Alt coin will pump also with the influence of Bitcoin.

Who would believe the man who once said that BTC will be banned in the US just because they banned some types of cigarettes or something similar? It's hard to find someone who has made more false speculations over the years than this man. I have personally never seen or heard of a man more lost and confused than him when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

This is understandable because of Bitcoin's historical pattern, but its not conclusive; there are seen and unseen factors like pandemics or war. If the adoption is at a steady phase with no negative interruption, then Bitcoin will head to $250k this 2025.
Honestly, at the start of the year, I had doubts that Bitcoin would reach $100k, although I'm hopeful but doubts liner in my mind, but it eventually did and I'm very happy with the outcome.

I hope no newbies fall for this wild prediction but something in me says I hope they do ;D I mean it will be great to see that but on 2025? It will be more realistic if we're talking about the next halving. It looks to me that he's just throwing numbers there but many of us would be extremely happy if he will be correct on this one though.

Wild prediction why?

20 mill x 100 k is 2 trillion

20 mill x 250 k is 5 trillion

the gain is possible to do in 2025.

So I don't think the prediction is wild.

we entered 2021 at 28k and got as high as 68k almost a 1 trillion gain in 2021.

tack on inflation to match it we need a gain of 1.2 trillion so we would be 2+1.2 = 3.2 billion divide by 20 mill and that is 160k a coin.

but that is matching market cap gain.

I think we do 160-300k in 2025

All this speculation of $250k is because Trump is in support of Bitcoin. Well, nobody is certain about the speculated price. We may see it happen or not by next year, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future, It will. What every one of us would do, is sell our Bitcoin at whatever price is pleasing to us rather than waiting for a price that we are not too sure of to happen by next year or not.

We'll see, i have seen crazier predictions and this one sounds kind of plausible, not because he said it, but because of how BTC has been rising lately and how institutions and countries are growing interested in it. I predict it could spark a 'crazy' bull run in 2025 and i know a lot of us think the same, but it is better to keep a realistic target, i know.

I don't know if it would reach that price within the time frame given, but I know that there's still a lot of positive interest in BTC, and this would help with upward momentum for it's price. I think we'd remain bullish for a while.

Re: Another Prediction: BTC $250K in 2025 from Fundstrat's Tom Lee
Well, I looked at the chart of Bitcoin on the monthly time frame, and I saw this one.

At the start of December 2020 from the peak of March 2021, Bitcoin went up a whopping 264.41%. Now I looked at it on the current price of Bitcoin and if you plot it and expect that Bitcoin's price will increase the same amount of percentage this bull run, the price will be somewhere between $245,000-$250,000 which is the prediction of Tom Lee.

Will this happen? Of course, we don't know, but realistically speaking, I don't think that Bitcoin will go up the same percentage as it was in 2020-2021 bull run. I don't see it happening, but it's good to see a prediction coming from a famous person like him even though the chances of it to happen is 50-50. :D

All the people who were once anti crypto has been buying Bitcoin secretly, and we are going be seeing this kind of guys coming next year especially when Bitcoin start another uptrends movements to hit a new All Time High.
It obvious that once they enter the crypto community, they start their predictions or speculation to attract more of their friends.
In addition, it looks like Bitcoin may explode next year, there positives signs when looking at the price hovering between $90k to $100k plus, that is, a constant side ways movements over one week,

I fully agree, let us forget about this prediction, we can all think and see for ourselves, the signs are that we will be bullish for sometime and next year BTC price can reach unexpected heights. However, like i always recommend, it is better to keep expectation realistic and make your plans that way.

He's not the first to come up with that number - he's just repeating what some others have already said for a very simple reason, which is to secure some promotion for himself and of course to enable whoever he gave the interview to get as many clicks as possible.

It's actually completely irrelevant whether BTC will be worth $250k next year or not - these people are playing a completely different game using BTC as a springboard for their business.

As I already wrote, look at the irony in this news...

Basically, in the coming world a big market of bitcoin will be created. And the rate at which the price is rising will make the bitcoin currency market much stronger and such prices may even hit a record. I think timing is the most important thing when trading with bitcoin. Nothing is as profitable as trading bitcoin when the price adjusts over time. You need to understand market dynamics and have experience in when to sell and buy. Investing in any crypto asset can be risky. So carefully assess the risk of a product and your risk tolerance based on your own financial situation. We are not completely sure about the future of the market and it is only a guess to us.

Yeah, I also think that the rate of BTC price increase will gradually slow down over time, until a market state change occurs. I'm not sure if widespread BTC adoption has been able to change the market state yet, and I'm not confident about the existence of a supercycle right now.

I respect Tom Lee, but I will still keep my expectations for BTC ATH in this cycle at $150K-170K. That will be the price zone where I start to monitor the market more closely and prepare for any reversal signals. If BTC can really reach $250K, we'll have a bigger party ^^

I think that's possible if you check the historical data started from 2013 the price of BTC is around $1,242, that's a 2013 ATH until the next cycle in year 2017 it touch to $19,783 which increase 1,592.83% after that in year 2021 it reach $66,975 that increase around 338%.
If it happens again with a 338% increase, it could reach $226k, but as you can see from the historical price, there is a significant drop in percentage with each cycle. That leads me to believe that $250k is impossible.
Maybe it will be possible in the next cycle.

There is no doubt, in my opinion, i think there will always be interruptions on the price because not every investor, trader or holder bought crypto at the same price level, and that is one of the reasons why there will be interruptions on the market price as time progresses.
Based on the market price movements, i think Bitcoin is currently moving to break further records, ,I am looking at new All Time High, at least, $120k before the end of first quarter 2025.

It is certain that any Crypto enthusiasts can make predictions about the future price of BTC, spreading his thoughts on news, social medias and all....
All we need to know is that they are just predictions based on their own thoughts and analysis which most times get to be wrong, and sometimes fortunately stumbles to be right.

Tom Lee's predictions seems real and certain to him based on some factors that he has considered and probably by his analysis of the market trend based on history.

Jeremi Davinci predicted $350k, check link below
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-to-350000-top-crypto-influencer-makes-bold-prediction/amp/ (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-to-350000-top-crypto-influencer-makes-bold-prediction/amp/)

We all can predict what price we feel it could get to but it is highly recommended to DYOR and don't get carried away with people's predictions.

From my own thoughts, I feel that BTC will achieve $200k before the year runs out..

Lee is right political support can take BTC to $250k easily, if we add all the promises that Trump made if they come true the price will obviously pump and if we add the BTC strategic reserves especailly in big countries like the USA the price will alone be pumped by this move to $250k.

$250k is not a big target for BTC maybe not in this bull run but in the next one, it will surely make a new ATH more than $250k due to the adoption. Now I begin to think the adoption is so high that BTC will ever follow its bearish abd bullish cycles of 4 year duration!

If we believe Tom Lee and when bitcoin price will reach $250k, then I think that it will be very lucky moment for all crypto users in cryptocurrency world. But if bitcoin price will reach $150k, then it will be sufficient for me. I also believe that middle of the year bitcoin price will reach $120-$150k in cryptocurrency market. I am also agree with you, because we also believe that 2025 will be crypto year for all crypto users. Because we believe that in this time bitcoin passing a bull run.

I agree, if Bitcoin reaches $150,000 that would be enough for me too, personally I don’t think we will see $250K this year.

Trump’s most important promise to make Bitcoin a US strategic reserve has not happened yet and there is no decision on this matter, yesterday Senator Cynthia Lummis commented on this: “The US Bitcoin Strategy Act requires a majority in the House and Senate before it reaches Trump.”
This means that we may have a long time before a formal decision is made.

Not every bitcoin or crypto analyst were always correct at all times when they make their forecast, it may went entirely wrong in some cases, that is why it is expected of us not to always believe in what we see online or what others are saying, it is far fetched that we see the market cross above $150,000 not to even talk of getting to $250,000 which is almost impossible for these season, as a matter of fact, we can be out of the bullrun season anytime from now, not as some thought it may continue till the end of the year.

If the bullrun is over crypto is in serious trouble 👿.

while it could be true here is hoping that you are totally wrong.

sometimes I look at my stack and want to quit just sell it all. But I am haning in there and hoping for bigger numbers to come this year.

Their predictions aren't different with ours. We Average Joes can also said that "Bitcoin can go up to $250,000" but nobody cares because it isn't published on different media outlets. These famous people will just make their prediction just based on... on nothing, and then they will post it online and media outlets will make an article off of it. Hilarious, right? :D

As for the prediction, $250,000 this year seems impossible and unrealistic IMO. I don't think that there's enough money for Bitcoin to push its price to $250,0000. Maybe if the US government will start to buy Bitcoin as part of their strategic reserve plan, then that might push Bitcoin's price, but not up to $250,000. I'll stick with my prediction that the peak of Bitcoin this year will be $120,000-$150,000.

Wot?

I mean, it will only be in trouble for 1-2 years maximum, then it goes sideways for another two years, and then it inevitably goes back up by the next halving.

That is the cycle that I have been seeing for quite some time - disrupted only by COVID-19 in March 2020.

So what you usually see on the charts is some sort of trench followed by something that looks like a staircase.

I think this prediction will not correct. It is not related with reality i think. But it also true that everything is possible in cryptocurrency. But i think not $250k it will be possible near about $150k within 2025. Bitcoin's price now $107k and gradually it increasing i think within this year bitcoin price we will see near about $150k.

Just treat it like you and me, we can make our own predictions right? And it doesn't mean that their predictions will come true as we all know that this is just a wild and educated guess.

We hit $109k as our new all time high, and if we go by this prediction, the price should be more than double with the last all time high. So it might be very difficult to see that happening although we are in the bullish state right now.

I think this prediction will not correct. It is not related with reality i think. But it also true that everything is possible in cryptocurrency. But i think not $250k it will be possible near about $150k within 2025. Bitcoin's price now $107k and gradually it increasing i think within this year bitcoin price we will see near about $150k.
His prediction will have the same chances as yours, mine and any other user here in the forum.
I can come up with a prediction saying "Bitcoin will reach $200,000 this year and the reason for it is that I believe that Trump will make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset of US in his first 100 days since he got inaugurated." blah blah blah.

Just a random number, and a specific reason. That's what these people are doing, and we can do it as well. The only difference is that they're popular enough for their prediction to be posted online and be known while us Average Joes? We can share our prediction online, but only a few people will know about it. Lee's price can be right, or it can be wrong. For me, it's too optimistic, but still, it's possible... or not. :D

I mean, would you take a prediction from someone who said Bitcoin would be banned back in 2019 seriously? Most of these people make contradictory statements if you look at the whole picture. They don't take their words seriously so you shouldn't either. Their target is newbies or retail investors who are new to the market and susceptible to fomo so they can pump their bags.

The value of 250,000 dollars could be realized but my assumption is that the value is very large because now Bitcoin is at a price of 97,200 dollars. We can multiply it by 1x or a 100% increase and the result is 184,400 dollars and it definitely requires a very large market cap too.

I don't really understand where Tomy Lee's reference came from so that he has a Bitcoin price target of around 250,000 dollars. I am also sure that Tomy Lee has a fitting and valid reason according to himself because I am sure that smart and famous people like Tomy Lee must have many friends who have experience reading about Bitcoin technology in the future so that the price range is 250,000 dollars.

I hope no newbies fall for this wild prediction but something in me says I hope they do ;D I mean it will be great to see that but on 2025? It will be more realistic if we're talking about the next halving. It looks to me that he's just throwing numbers there but many of us would be extremely happy if he will be correct on this one though.

Wild prediction why?

20 mill x 100 k is 2 trillion

20 mill x 250 k is 5 trillion

the gain is possible to do in 2025.

So I don't think the prediction is wild.

we entered 2021 at 28k and got as high as 68k almost a 1 trillion gain in 2021.

tack on inflation to match it we need a gain of 1.2 trillion so we would be 2+1.2 = 3.2 billion divide by 20 mill and that is 160k a coin.

but that is matching market cap gain.

I think we do 160-300k in 2025

I don't see Bitcoin touching $160 to 300k in 2025, and anybody can come up with a figure because they might have have invested and desires to speculate prices over times to boost their profits, probably on the short term.
However, your calculations look good, but looking at bitcoin price in 2025, i am considering market prices economically than looking at it mathematically. Bitcoin has the capacity to create new records bigger than the previous hight, however i am forecasting bitcoiners to touch $155k if demands continues consistently at short intervals in 2025.

Yeah, that is the thing with cryptocurrency, we may think that a certain price is unachievable, but it then turns out to be. I know that people just like to predict without any valid reason, they just pick numbers and put it out there, but sometimes it may turn out to be correct. Which bitcoiner wouldn't want BTC to go this high, but if it will happen is another thing.

well some people do put out unrealistic numbers out there because they do not do any kinds of market analysis just pure speculation and vibes or rather their prediction is what they hope will happen in real life

Tom Lee, he seems to be out of the limelight for quite some time?

I still remember him during the previous bull runs wherein he also put up big predictions and I can't remember if it is a hit or missed though. But in any case, I doubt that he will simply go away and shy away from his predictions, after all we all know that as a Fundstrat he is a well known bull, not just in crypto, but in S&P and stocks as well. So no surprise that he will come up with this kind of predictions on crypto market.

Fiber are not going to be too forward about the bitcoin notice for this year, it is better that we maintain having the expectation of the market crossing not more than $150,000 between now and the end of the year, it is of another great advantage for some investors who have seen this already coming to invest in the market before it rises to all time high as it has started already, but I don't think expecting up to $250,000 is a good idea to follow.

People need to understand that these predictions made from some famous people are mere speculations and not based on analysis or anything and they are mostly tactics to gain attention from the public because they know Bitcoin is a hot topic at the moment and they are going to become a headline if they either make a positive or a negative speculation about it.

We need to trust on more realistic predictions people make even if they are not coming from very famous or influential people but they are at least good and we can think that those are possible feats to achieve. Someone comes out of nowhere who have possibly never read a chart in his life and says that Bitcoin is going to hit $1m in this bull run is nothing but a attention seeker.

Who would believe the man who once said that BTC will be banned in the US just because they banned some types of cigarettes or something similar? It's hard to find someone who has made more false speculations over the years than this man. I have personally never seen or heard of a man more lost and confused than him when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Yeah, I think that some of these confused guys who were very critical on Cryptocurrency in the past are coming back to consciousness; they have realized the impact cryptocurrency is making on the economy, and having purchased some amount of Bitcoin, they are now becoming the campaigners of a bullish momentum.
However, this prediction is a personal ideas, i think it is part of market speculations. I think that Bitcoin may be traded between $125k to $155k price level this year in my opinion

The halving event reducing the supply of Bitcoin, combined with growing institutional interest and the US starting to accumulate Bitcoin as part of its strategic reserve are very important arguments. It's not easy for me to reject them, but markets pre-price certain events as expectations. These events may have already been bought. I think if we are talking about a number or predicting a price, we cannot base the explanation on sociological or historical events. We can do that about the future of Bitcoin or mass adoption, but inherent explanations of numbers don't usually work well...

it is possible

trump's announcement and confirmation that he has not forgotten about what he has promised in his campaign does not change much on the bitcoin's expected price everyone expects or hopes bitcoin to reach $120k to $150k this year some people may start hyping up the bitcoin reserve news and start spreading that bitcoin will now reach $200k but i think realistically $120k to $150k is the peak price we will see this year

bitcoin is very unpredictable so all this can be disproven soon but this is what my opinion is
