Bitcoin breaks $100,000 for the first time in the history

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial market, I must admit that watching Bitcoin break its all-time high and surpass $100,000 is nothing short of remarkable. It’s like witnessing the birth of a digital phoenix from the ashes of doubt and skepticism.

For the very first time ever, the value of Bitcoin surpassed $100,000 as a result of a 5% price hike during trading that day, reaching a record-breaking high.

Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market value, recently reached and surpassed its target price of $100,000 for the first time ever, setting a new record high. This achievement has boosted investor confidence following some turbulence in recent weeks. The market capitalization also skyrocketed to an impressive $2 trillion, representing a 5.74% increase at the moment of writing.

On December 5th, as indicated by CoinMarketCap’s data, the price soared and peaked at approximately $101,000. This surge was accompanied by a 28% increase in trading volume, reaching an impressive $88 billion. Moreover, the general market sentiment remains optimistic, with bullish sentiments as high as 80%.

The price trend has been bolstered by Donald Trump’s selection of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, creating a favorable outlook in the market. Notably, Ripple‘s Brad Garlinghouse and Congressman Tom Emmer endorse these appointments because of Atkins’ pro-cryptocurrency stance.

Jerome Powell, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, recognized Bitcoin as a potential competitor to gold, indicating that it is often viewed as a type of investment classified as a “safe-haven” asset.

Bitcoin price targets are more to come

Moving forward from the $100,000 milestone that’s already been achieved, experts and notable figures in cryptocurrency remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s future growth. They forecast a potential increase in value, with estimates ranging between $150,000 and $500,000 over the next few years.

According to Bernstein Research, their new optimistic prediction for the price by 2025 is a significant $200,000. This forecast has been revised upward from its previous estimate of $150,000, largely due to increased institutional interest and demand in various sectors.

According to the creator of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, he predicts that the value of Bitcoin could potentially reach as high as $250,000 within the next two years. However, he suggests that this might be a conservative estimate, and the ultimate goal could be as much as $500,000.
