I don't get why you guys make such distant predictions like $250k. Why not $150k?

If you're buying now because you want to see $250k by the end of the year, you're gambling.
With bitcoin you need a couple of things to be safe.
A steady income so you don't have to worry about expenses in a potential bear market.
An investment large enough to make a difference, but small enough so you wont get scared if it crashes by 30%
A long time because it may take a year or two.

If you can't meet the above, rethink buying bitcoin at this time. Maybe wait for a real crash, like the one that happened mid 2021, or a covid crash of 2020.
Don't forget that even if you buy at $100k, you're still buying in a bull market. There's a real possibility the price will go to $60k before it goes to your $250k target.
