What will be the price of Bitcoin in 2025?

A trader under the pseudonym DaanCrypto shared his opinion on the prospects of BTC on Twitter. Here is his rejoinder, as quoted by Cointelegraph.

The phase of finding a new high in this cycle has begun for Bitcoin. In 2017, the BTC exchange rate rose 1,600 per cent in this phase. In 2021, it rose 245 per cent in the same time frame. Even if we make even halfway through the 2021 bullrun now, the price of BTC will still rise to around $150,000.


By tradition, we note that even the most logical forecasts of experts are not bound to come true. One way or another, the behaviour of the market is determined by its participants, and the actions of the latter can be non-obvious and even wrong. Accordingly, it is not worth expecting something predictable from the crypto niche.

In addition, it is important to understand that the growth of the market capitalisation of a particular cryptocurrency - that is, the product of its rate by the number of coins in circulation - complicates the growth of the value of the asset. Therefore, it is not worth comparing the current Bitcoin with its state in 2017.

The situation was also commented on by the famous crypto trader Charles Edwards. Here is his quote.

The phase of finding a new high in each cycle gives 4-7 months of crazy cryptocurrency growth gains. On the 1st of November another phase started, the next few months will be rich in opportunities for new trades with long positions.

Bitcoin’s bullish cycles on the chart

Markus Thielen, founder and CEO of 10x Research, drew attention to the seasonal returns of the crypto. That is, we are talking about the behaviour of digital assets depending on the actual month.

Historically, Bitcoin has historically averaged a 10 per cent price gain in December, with even more impressive returns in 2010, 2011 and 2020.

Thielen added that the pattern he found is especially noticeable during halving years, which is the halving of the reward per block on the Bitcoin network. Typically, crypto enthusiasts associate this event with the start of the bullrun.

The returns in December were 6 per cent in 2012, 31 per cent in 2016 and 47 per cent in 2020. That is an average of 28 per cent. All three years of halving have resulted in positive returns in December.

Impact of Bitcoin halving on miners

Considering historical trends, we can conclude that each successive bull cycle ends with a noticeably smaller increase in Bitcoin’s value. This is due to the greater capitalisation and liquidity of the crypto market.

Nevertheless, even in the current trend, returns of tens of per cent can be enough to make money on BTC volatility. Well, altcoins usually show much higher gains with Bitcoin’s consistently good behaviour, as we have seen once again this spring.

A large-scale bullrun of crypto is possible if there are no serious obstacles in the way of the market in the form of government interference. Unfortunately, the Diem project, launched a couple of years ago by then Facebook, faced a sadder scenario.

According to Diem co-founder David Marcus, the collapse of the payment giant’s initiative was the result of political games. Here’s his comment.

There was no legal or regulatory aspect left for the government and regulators to thwart the project. It was 100 per cent a “political assassination” that was carried out by intimidating the banks.

Former PayPal executive David Marcus

According to sources, the aim of Project Diem, formerly known as Libra, is to create a decentralised payment network with its own stablecoin. The initiative was launched in June 2019. In doing so, the project received support from Visa and PayPal, where Markus previously served as president.

Two weeks after the announcement of the project’s launch, Marcus was called to testify before the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee. He said it marked the beginning of “non-stop work and change to appease lawmakers and regulators.”

After considering several issues, US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was allegedly already ready to allow the project to operate in a “limited mode”. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen then told Powell that allowing the project to move forward was allegedly “political suicide.”

The final chord was the Fed’s informal appeal to several top banks, which simply put Diem (Libra) on the banking system’s blacklist. Meta abandoned Diem in early 2022, selling its intellectual property and assets to Silvergate Capital. The latter went into voluntary liquidation in March 2023 and filed for bankruptcy in September.

According to Marcus, he felt it necessary to disclose these details after Andreessen Horowitz venture capital firm founder Marc Andriessen spoke on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast about the political pressures facing the coin industry.

So the government’s influence in stifling innovation is still strong, and the Fed is clearly not going to allow a new kind of money to become established in the US. At least in the current environment of digital asset regulation.


Expectations of Bitcoin's growth and the crypto market in general are logical. After all, for the first time in history, the US president will be a person who supports the coin industry in words. Well, the change of leadership of the Securities Commission together with the approval of adequate regulation of coins will make this industry much more popular among investors.
