A new trending post on social platform- Reddit has seen members hotly debate on the possibility of Bitcoin ever hitting $100,000.
Over the course of 2020, a number of Bitcoin analysts and traders have predicted that the number one cryptocurrency could reach six figures in coming years, with prices ranging from $100,000 to $350,000 based on varying market models.
While a section of Bitcoiners on Reddit (r/Bitcoin) agree with the $100K prediction, many still ask the question of “when” or “how long it’ll take.”
A small group however feel that the $100,000 price mark is rather over the top as the BTC market remains at the mercy of whales who could swing volatility in their favour.
One Redditor is quoted:
“I’ve been a BTC bull since the early days, but also recognize that ownership is concentrated in the hands of a minority early adopters who have good motivation to cash out at the right levels.
I think price will remain a cycle of pumps and dumps ranging between $6k and $30k for the next 10 years.”
A smaller section of commenters worry about the dollar (USD) depreciation when BTC eventually gets to $100K, asking the question “How much $100,000 will buy.”
Others say the price could swing both ways: either surpass $100,000 or burst and drop to zero; with this scenario mostly dependent on Bitcoin’s adoption.
Notable traders and crypto influencers who have predicted the $100,000 Bitcoin price and above include: Plan B (Author of the Bitcoin-Stock-2-flow Prediction model) , Pantera capital founder Dan Morehead, former Goldman Sachs manager Raoul Paul, and Morgan Creek Digital co-founder Anthony Pompiliano, among others.
At time of publication, the Reddit Bitcoin post has garnered over 609 comments and thousands of reactions from Bitcoiners and non coiners.
