When this bull run kicked off, I was convinced
$BTC would top out around $200K. Then the market shifted, politics got messier, and I trimmed my target to $150K.
Turns out I was dead wrong and yeah, you can blame the noise, the skeptics, and half the “crypto experts” online.
Because like clockwork, every few months the same crowd shows up to announce Bitcoin is “dead” again. A dip happens, regulators start talking, some geopolitical headline hits, and suddenly it’s doomsday.
They’ve been calling it for 16 years. And they’ve missed the point every single time.
If you’ve been around long enough, you already know Bitcoin isn’t dying. It’s leveling up. It’s quietly turning into the base layer of a new financial system, with a clear path to $500K+ over the next decade.
And honestly, the bigger picture is even more bullish than that.
Bitcoin isn’t going to zero. It’s laying the groundwork to go way higher, with $1M per coin not just possible, but increasingly realistic.

The Institutional Wall of Money
The biggest difference between now and the 2017 “Wild West” isn’t the chart, it’s the buyer.
This isn’t just retail traders tapping buy on their phones anymore. It’s the biggest financial institutions on the planet stepping in with size.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly pulled in around $22B in net inflows in 2025 even with late year weakness, and BlackRock’s IBIT alone was said to be $25B+ and turning into one of their meaningful revenue engines.
Institutions are estimated to hold roughly a quarter of Bitcoin ETPs, and surveys suggest about 85% of firms either already have exposure or plan to soon. On top of that, you’ve got U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve conversations floating around and pension funds like Wisconsin and Michigan expanding their positions.
This is the key shift. Bitcoin isn’t being treated like a side bet anymore, it’s being wired into the plumbing of the global financial system. When the world’s largest asset managers start treating Bitcoin like a core portfolio pillar, the “it’s going to zero” argument basically stops being serious.
Michael Saylor put it in his usual loud way:
“My forecast is $13 million a coin by the year 2045, and what I tell everybody is every bitcoin you don’t buy today is going to cost you $13 million in the future.”

The Skeptics Are Wrong Again
While governments keep printing fiat at a pace that feels nonstop, Bitcoin stays locked to pure math, 21 million coins, no exceptions. It’s one of the few assets on earth where demand can surge but supply simply can’t respond.
Cathie Wood at ARK has been hammering this scarcity point for years, even as the market structure evolves and stablecoins play a bigger role.
Wood put it like this:
“Our bull case for Bitcoin is $1.5 million by 2030… Bitcoin is still strengthening its role as a global store of value.”

Prepare for the Noise
Does that mean we go straight up from here?
Not even close.
The road to $1M is going to be messy, full of 20%, 30%, even 50% drops. And every single time it happens, headlines will scream “crash” like it’s the end of crypto.
Critics will jump on every dip with the usual “told you so.”
But volatility is the fee you pay for the upside. Institutions aren’t glued to the 24 hour chart. They’re thinking in 5 to 10 year cycles.
So expect deep drawdowns that get sensationalized. That’s normal. What matters is the long game, adoption, liquidity, and the fundamentals improving in the background.
Tune out the FUD, stay focused on the base case.
Best time to accumulate was yesterday. Next best time is today.
