Ah, cryptocurrency, that modern-day alchemy of digital gold. Once pitched as a noble experiment in financial independence-a way to bypass gatekeepers and empower individuals, until it became a playground for influencers and speculators. How charmingly naive.
Michael Saylor (Strategy / MicroStrategy)
Predicted Bitcoin could reach about $150,000 by the end of 2025 based on regulatory and adoption tailwinds. A figure so lofty, one might require a parachute to descend from it.
Tim Draper (Venture Capitalist)
Draper reaffirmed his long-standing forecast that Bitcoin would hit ~$250,000 by the end of 2025. A number so audacious, it could only be matched by the audacity of those who believed it.
Tom Lee (Fundstrat)
Lee, the oracle of optimism, expected 2025 to end well above current levels. A forecast so bullish, one might think he’d been sampling the champagne a little too liberally.
Cathie Wood (ARK Invest)
Wood and ARK research positioned Bitcoin to be in the low six figures by the end of 2025. A thesis so bold, it made one long for the days of simpler investments, like socks or handkerchiefs.
Anthony Scaramucci (SkyBridge Capital)
The former White House Communications Director forecasted Bitcoin would reach between ~$180,000-$200,000 in 2025. Now a vocal critic of the very meme coin he once championed, he posed a question that left many scratching their heads:
Since X is a MAGA sphere and I would still like to stay on here and learn things. Could someone please explain to me on Crypto X How the President pumping his own meme coin is a good thing?

As 2026 unfolds, the outlook for crypto remains as uncertain as a politician’s promise. Optimism is now tempered by hard lessons from the prior year, much like a soufflé that’s fallen flat.
For all the pomp on inauguration day when Bitcoin exceeded $101,000, the price is now roughly $89,490. A comedown more dramatic than a deflated balloon at a child’s party.
Despite high hopes under Trump’s pro-crypto rhetoric, adoption and market performance lag far behind the pace seen under the Biden administration. One might argue that Biden-era regulatory clarity and ETF approvals sustained growth, but then again, perhaps it was just the sheer novelty of not having Trump in charge.
Is it fair to say Biden-era policies helped? The jury is still out, much like the jury in a courtroom sketch of a trial. One thing is for sure: the sector is now mired in a bear market. Momentum has stalled, and public confidence is as shaky as a bridge made of spaghetti. The year ahead may offer more volatility than validation, leaving builders, investors, and policymakers to ponder whether crypto can survive as a serious financial infrastructure-or remain trapped in hype cycles and speculative headlines. A fate as tragic as a Shakespearean hero, but with fewer soliloquies and more tweets.
