Look, Bitcoin’s been following a eerily consistent playbook every four years, and if the pattern holds, 2025 might be way bigger than people think.
The Cycle Never Lies
Historically, here’s what Bitcoin does:
Year 1: Bear market (like 2022)
Year 2: Recovery bounce
Year 3: Steady climb → halving happens (+125% avg)
Year 4: Explosive bull run (+400% avg)
We’re in year 3 right now (halving year). Bitcoin started 2024 around $44k—a 125% surge would land it near $100k by year-end. Then comes 2025…
Do The Math
If Bitcoin finishes 2024 at ~$100k and follows the historical 400% post-halving surge, you’re looking at $500k territory in 2025.
Yeah, it sounds wild. But Bitcoin’s done crazier—it ripped 850% back in 2011. The point isn’t hitting some magic number; it’s that supply shock finally kicks in when institutions and retail realize the scarcity game is real.
Institutional FOMO ramping up (spot ETFs opening doors)
Retail keeps buying the dip as a hedge
Trust in fiat is crumbling → Bitcoin as digital gold becomes more obvious
The supply-demand math is shifting in Bitcoin’s favor every cycle. Whether it hits $500k or $250k shouldn’t matter—what matters is understanding why the dynamics favor it long-term.
