If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?
Planning investments with the expectation of short-term profits usually involves risks that may be psychologically unacceptable if the expected returns are too high.
There is nothing wrong with the initial goal of seeking profits from selected investment assets. It is better if people can act wisely on what they have planned with the results they will receive within a certain period of time.
Bitcoin can rise and fall at any time. In my opinion, one must be prepared for that reality. If one is solely hoping that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 by December 2025, I fear that if that does not happen, one might be disappointed because the returns from Bitcoin's price appreciation are better suited for long-term expectations.
