Hello fellow traders and investors! How is your Bitcoin holding? Well, my guess is – Not good.

Although there were expectations that after a brief downturn the crypto would reach new highs again, it did not happen. In fact, in recent months BTC has dropped as low as $18,000 on the charts.

This is interesting, especially since for a long time many expected BTC to go as high as $100,000 on the charts. When that didn’t happen, the blame game started. PlanB’s S2F projections, for one, were abandoned by many.

Yet, despite everything, there are still many who are still in the business of predicting where the cryptocurrency will be in 5 years or 10 years from now.

Why these projections matter

The following article will touch on these estimates. With BTC emerging as a strong store of value recently, it is crucial that investors are aware of how popular analysts see the cryptocurrency heading over the next decade. These estimates, while not an absolute certainty by any means, can help traders and holders make smart decisions.

However, that is not all. According to CoinGecko, for example, Bitcoin enjoys a market share of just under 40%. Although this number is not as high as it was in 2017 or even in 2021, it is a significant proportion. By extension, this means that whatever happens to Bitcoin, the rest of the altcoin market will surely see a ripple effect. Ergo, even if you are only interested in altcoins, what BTC is doing will affect you too.

This article will briefly look at the cryptocurrency’s recent market performance, with a particular focus on market capitalization, volume, and rate of appreciation/depreciation. The same will be extended with the use of data sets such as non-zero addresses, no. of whale transactions, et al. It will conclude by summarizing the estimates of the most popular analysts/platforms, while looking at the Fear & Greed Index to assess market sentiment.

Bitcoin’s price, volume and everything in between

At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $24,059 on the price charts, after rising over 4% in 24 hours. The aforementioned increase was on the back of the weekly increase, with 24-hour trading volume recorded at $20.8 billion.

Needless to say, BTC’s price movement also had an impact on its market cap. When the cryptocurrency reached a short-term peak on July 30, its market capitalization did the same, rising to $469 billion. At press time, it was down to $460 billion. As expected, BTC/USDT was the most popular trading pair on the market, with Binance holding a share of over 8% for the same.

The aforementioned could be good news for investors. Especially since it comes on the back of a few weeks and months that saw nothing but bearish news for crypto. In fact, while BTC is still over 65% away from the ATH of over $69,000, there is a lot of optimism around.

Consider the comments of the legendary Bill Miller, for example. He was in the news a while back when he claimed,

“Bitcoin’s supply is growing about 2.5 percent a year, and demand is growing faster than that.”

For Miller, this growth in demand will also be accompanied by a corresponding increase in price, with a $100,000 target being tossed around by some. In fact, a similar logic was used by Bloomberg Intelligence when it claimed that the demand and adoption curves pointed to a forecast of $100,000 by 2025.

One could argue that over the past few years, much of Bitcoin’s demand and adoption has been driven by its emergence as a store of value. In fact, while quite a few are interested in it for the technology, many others are interested in Bitcoin to get a good return on investment. It is in this connection that it is worth looking at how the ROIs have been. In accordance Messarifor example, at the time of writing, BTC was offering negative returns of -27% and -41% over a 3-month and a 1-year window, respectively.

Understandably, the aforementioned datasets are products of how BTC has been doing on the price charts lately. Thanks to the recent drawdown, ROIs have been negative. Still, there are a few factors that seem to underline a bullish turn for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

For example, the number of Bitcoin addresses that contain 0.1+ coins hits an ATH yesterday. Furthermore, the $BTC percentage in profit (7d MA) hit exactly one 1 month high of 60.513% also while aSOPR (7d MA) hit a 3-month high.

Now that the background and context are taken care of, what are popular platforms and analysts saying about where they see Bitcoin headed in 2025 and 2035? Well, only one way to find out.

Bitcoin price prediction 2025

Before we come to predictions, it is important that a salient feature is identified and highlighted. Predictions vary. From one platform to another, from one analyst to another, predictions can be significantly different from each other.

Consider the year 2025, for example –

According to Changelly, Bitcoin’s average trading price will be as high as $124,508 in 2025, with the platform claiming it could go as high as $137k.

On the contrary, there is reason to believe that the upside of the cryptocurrency will not be as high. Why? Well, because the crypto is not yet uniformly supported by global regulatory and legislative regimes. With CBDCs slowly being introduced in many countries, the attitude towards crypto is not exactly positive either.

Finally, the last six months have also highlighted the tendency of most retail investors to run with their holdings when the market carnage starts.

Another interesting way to look at it is to use the growth of technology to highlight how far Bitcoin can go.

Consider the simple case of Google, for example. Despite recent turmoil, it is expected to grow exponentially over the next 5 to 10 years. However, it can be argued that this growth will go hand in hand with the growth of Bitcoin and the crypto market, by extension. This is because of the connection between the two.

Bitcoin searches on Google are 7x and 42x higher than the number of searches for USD and Euro respectively, is proof of the same. Actual, according to studieshistorically there has been a 91% correlation between BTC prices and Google search volume.

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2030

First, one thing must be made clear. 2025 and 2030 are five years apart. Predictions are hard to get right as they are. It is perhaps even more difficult when the time frame in question is a good 8 years in the future.

Nevertheless, one can see that most people’s predictions for Bitcoin’s 2030 price are on the positive side. Now, while there is good reason behind such optimism, it is worth pointing out that these projections do not take into account variables such as black swan events.

So what is everyone saying?

According to Changelly, BTC could reach a peak of around $937ki in 2030, with the cryptocurrency trading at an average price of $798k. I

What drives these projections? Well, a couple of reasons. First, most people are optimistic about the value of crypto’s scarcity at play. Second, the maximalists envision a future where the demand for Bitcoin is infinite. Finally, with Bitcoin adoption rising at 113% annually, many believe the same will one day be highlighted by BTC’s price.

There are other estimates as well, ones that are even more bullish. According to Parallax Digital’s Robert Breedlovefor example, BTC will reach $12.5 million by 2031. Now he said that the cryptocurrency will reach $307k by October 2021. Ergo, there is good reason why some may not take him seriously.

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2040

2040 is 18 years away. 18 years. Even Bitcoin is not 18 yet.

Needless to say, it is even more difficult to estimate a price level for 2040, with a whole range of uncertainty factors surrounding it. For the sake of argument, let’s just assume that everything else remains the same, then how likely is BTC to fare on the charts by 2040?

Well, someone has taken a good chance to answer this question.

In accordance Tele leaguewill BTC enjoy an average trading price of $553k, “depending on market trend,” by 2040. It went on to predict,

“Our maximum price prediction for Bitcoin is $618,512.87 in 2040. If the market turns bullish, Bitcoin could rise more than our BTC price prediction in 2040.”

Others have been more vague, with some declaring valuations in the millions of dollars without a definitive timeline for the same. Perhaps this is for good reason too. After all, blockchain and crypto trends may change by 2040. Furthermore, who knows what will happen if Bitcoin’s growing use does not coincide with a corresponding drive to address its speed and scalability.

Despite all the growth, it is also difficult to see the crypto growing out of the price dynamics that come with the supply and demand side. In fact, look no further than the past few months as many miners like Riot Blockchain and BitFarms become net sellers of Bitcoin.

Here it is worth pointing out that according to a Finder examinationmany believe HyperBitcoinization will be upon us by 2040. Maybe even 2035. These events will certainly dictate where BTC will be by 2040.

Conclusion

These estimates are not set in stone. Not in the long term. As mentioned, quite a few things can change by the time 2040, 2030 or even 2025 arrives. But if you’re an investor, it’s best to keep an eye on what these are.

Especially now that the F&G index is on the way to recovery.
