Let us talk about $BTC for now, do you think we can still attain $200K this year, because with the way things are going it seems the factors that can assist in making this possible are not really working.
Bitcoin will not hit $150k this year, let alone $200k, that's my honest truth. It is not a magician, there must be more adoption/liquidity in at least a trillion dollars, where will that suddenly comes from? Bitcoin can achieve a very good price, but it needs more time and not the pressuring speculation of people.
Yes, bitcoin is not a magician and will not be able to grow exponentially like before, as its market capitalization has reached $2 trillion. It is no longer a small cap asset that can be easily pumped and dumped.
To be fair, bitcoin reaching $150k or $200k is not as easy as many people think because we need $1 to $2 trillion to do that. I also want to know where we will get so much money in such a short time (7 months). But bitcoin always surprises us, so we shouldn't be too pessimistic. Anything is possible.
So if $BTC will reach $200k this year, what are the things u think must happen?
Nothing serious will happen other than people calling insane princes like $500k or $1m happening that same year or next.

I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin hits $200k this year. We'll see price predictions ranging from $500k to $1 million all over forums and social media. Because speculation is part of the market.
