Could 2025 Bring Another 2017-style Bull Run?

So, looking at how 2024 wrapped up, a lot of Bitcoin fans were left surprised! Bitcoin hit its all-time high towards the end of last year. If you think back to 2017, Bitcoin was sitting at around $1000 and then skyrocketed to about $20,000 by year's end. That's like a crazy jump of nearly 200%. So, do you think we could see something similar in 2025? There are way more factors now that are pushing Bitcoin into the mainstream, right?

We may - because lots of bigger entities are interested in bitcoin, but we won't see 20x by the end of it, IMO. Bitcoin became bigger and slower to move to such a degree in the course of one run, that is, of course, if there is no supercycle and the chain of events to back it up.

2017 was not the last but 2021. If it happened in 2017 and 2021, I do not think 2025 will be missed. But bitcoin may not go much than $150000 to $170000 which has been my guess but I may be wrong. According to myself, bitcoin will have a bullish market in 2025 but I do not know what price would be the ATH.

But we know for a fact it will be a good ride, and that is what matters most. In the future months, people would brag about the price we have now, so better yet not to miss an opportunity.

in 2017 we experienced an astonishing 200% in turnovers from Bitcoin that year.. mind you Bitcoin only started that year fir $1000 and ended the year for as much as $20,000 . Last year increase in btc cannot be compared to that of 2017. Or Can it? if we would experiencentge bull run this year, just like we did in 2017 then bit has to be over 200,000 .

Remember - some things changed during this time. And with each cycle, the volatility of Bitcoin becomes a bit less of a factor, in my opinion, simply due to its size and cap.

It could be like that but we are not sure what will happen in the next bull run. We even don't know if that can happen this year or next year. But some people say that the bull run may happen after middle of this year so we can only wait and see what will happen later. But there is no estimation when the bull run will comes so we can only hopes the bull run comes soon.

The market is unpredictable and we can expect anything to likely happen within the space and as we know this year hasn't come to an end because anything is possible to happened. I can say that there are other determinant factors that would influence the market positively, such as lot of countries using/adopt to the system by holding back bitcoin as a reserved funds, couples with Donald Trump led administration which is known to be a bitcoin friendly President. My own target, I mean generalizing the price of bitcoin for this year it wouldn't exceed between $150k to $250k and it should be within this range. You know it is good to be optimistic but we shouldn't put higher hope to bitcoin price otherwise we might end up devastated if it doesn't results as we may think of.

We are expecting it to have a bullish momentum in 2025, no one can tell where the bull is going to take us to. More events are coming up that may likely drive price above it's current ath. Though $150k is not too far to reach but it may take a little while for now. But considering that alot of big investors and countries making BTC reserves, I'm very positive about BTC being bullish before the run of 2025. 2021 was nice, 2024 was the best yet and more is to come. The fact is that anyone who wish to buy or invest should consider these few dips as there might be hard to catch anytime soon..

If your question is: can Bitcoin grow and give us x20 returns from its current price like what bitcoin did during the 2017 bull run? I am pretty sure that is not possible because as bitcoin matures, its capitalization will increase and its volatility will also decrease over time. We will no longer see bitcoin prices increasing 20-40x in each cycle like before, those days are gone. Increasing market capitalization from $1 billion to $10 billion is much simpler and easier than increasing from $1 trillion to $10 trillion. If you want to value bitcoin, look at the market capitalization instead of just looking at the price of each bitcoin.

Of course, we can expect a repeat of the bull run like in 2017 this year. We saw that the end of 2024 went very well and although there was some volatility in the market at the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin did not dump too much. We saw yesterday that the market was dumping and reached $89,256. I thought that the market might dump more from here, but instead, the market went up. At the moment, the Bitcoin market is at $97,000, so it is expected that the market will rise from above, maybe there will be no more dumping. Also, since 2025 is the year of Bitcoin Bullrun, I definitely hope that Bitcoin will grow a lot. Also, large companies and influencers holding Bitcoin are always giving positive messages about Bitcoin, so I can say that Bitcoin will create many beautiful positions in the future that we cannot even imagine.

200% gain is only $2K. So it's $50K become $1 Million? It's only happen if most people who invest in gold choose to convert all of their gold to Bitcoin, then surely Bitcoin price will reach $1 Million in this year. I agree this year looks very bullish, I don't think Bitcoin will reach such huge amount in short time. $1 Trillion market cap is no joke.

Sure and we will go up 🆙 at least 12x maybe 15x say 1,500,000 a coin

We can expect the Bitcoin price to go up a lot this year. But no one can say that it will grow in the same way as in 2017. Now in 2021 it increased the same as in 2017? Of course not. So this year should not be expected to happen like in 2017, no one can say exactly what the price of Bitcoin will be. But many predict that Bitcoin price will be $150-$180k in 2025. Actually no one can make accurate prediction about bitcoin price, it's all just speculation. we can expect new ATH to be made again this year, but how much we can't say.

There is a high possibility that Bitcoin have such a tremendous increase in price following previous patterns, the year 2025 case is going to be different this time we are not looking for such a percentage increase anymore and Bitcoin will follow a pattern that will be hard for most of it price speculators to cash up with and at that we have to be a bit careful when mentioning what the next price target for Bitcoin will be and at what time we likely achieved that within this year 2025.

These percentages of gains are possible. We will never know how high it can be but historically, Bitcoin's pattern changes if it's about the heights. We're seeing a smaller x or gain every bull run but considering that it's still a multiplier from the past ATHs then that's so much already. Even with a smaller multiplier that we get from this bull run and it's not yet 2x from the 2021 high that we get, we already seen that there's still an ongoing consolidation and we're not yet at the top of this bull run.

well I like the facts you just gave, but no I strongly disagree with you. I do believe that Bitcoin can attain or have a repeat of the 2017 bull run again maybe not this year , or next year but definitely it would happen. The situation back then in 2017 wasn't too Bitcoin friendly as it is now in 2025 , but still Bitcoin grew as much as it did , so with nations and some government keeing into Bitcoin gradually I do see Bitcoin hitting that land mark once again.

To be fair, when you go from 100 dollars to 1000 dollars, it is still a x10 return, but it is not that many billions required to do it, sure it requires some money to do it, but the marketcap is low at that point. Going from 1k to 10k is still x10, but requires more people to buy more bitcoins to be able to do that, and when we are talking about going from 10k to 100k, it required more than one bull run for it to happen, which means that we are going to have harder and harder time to do a x10, imagine when we will be 1 million dollars, that would be x10 from now, but I do not see that in 10 years or so. This is why, it does take longer time to do that, because it requires a lot more money to be able to do that. This doesn't mean bitcoin is a bad investment though, if you just compare bitcoins increase to its previous movements then yeah it may look worse to you, but if you compare it to what other assets you could invest into makes, then that would make more sense and you would make more money. This is why compare your investment with other investments, it would allow you to make more money and that would make more sense without a doubt. I would rather do something like that.

So invariably your Speculation is that  we'd see $200,000 this year. You're probably not too far from some other predictions which is possible to really acquire because considering it the volume of whale accumulators in this circle, we might even topple the value rate of 200% increase as the 2017 which really made investors smiled even while adoptors and volume of user's values hasn't been of this huge.

2025 will be the new “Piola” of the financial world, emotional parameters are so unpredictable that mentioning 6 figures can be “obsolete”
