It's funny, but earlier I expected that the price could be in the range of 57.5k to 60k by the end of December. Unfortunately, I was wrong because bitcoin didn't have high volatility this month as it was in November. Anyway, it looks like you're right, and users who placed bets on ranges of 45k to 50k will win this time.
Many people imagined that, in fact 100k was expected to happen this year. Ih ave to agree that by the time betting closed here, a lot less people considered 100k to be possible, but even in that case there were 400+ bets made on 80k to 100k betting, it is a very low chance and the odds were 87+ for it so it is clear that a lot less people thought about it by the time betting ended. However, a few months ago if you asked people, especially during October pump, they would say that it reached 68k+ again and 100k+ by the end of the year was possible.
In the end, we are not goign to see it for sure and third biggest paid bet looks like it is going to win it all. Not a shock, but not the favorites neither, people ended up not realizing what could happen. First one being 52k+ is the proof that not many of us really know what we are talking about when predicting.
