I still feel that when talking about speculation, such things are not prohibited but don't make it too much as if it is exaggerated because such things are also not very good especially when spoken by an influencer or someone who has time behind him because even if it is just speculation and we as people who understand must know such things but not all will consider it just speculation especially new people who in the end this gives the wrong understanding to their followers which in fact this will be the forerunner that bitcoin will look bad because the expectations are higher than our thoughts who should realize the process is not that fast.
I don't prohibit anyone in this case when they want to comment on bitcoin and price speculation because it is a situation they create themselves but it would be great if indeed our rationality is also given especially to those who do have a large following.

I remember the days where those influencers are hyping things on bitcoin and really pushing it to reach $100k before the bear market starts. I can say that there's a chance but realistically speaking, the market isn't ready yet. People end up buying more and more because of the false hope that those influencers spread last bull market. I don't really like the influencer thing last bull market since there are so so so many influencers that has a crazy speculation especially in the altcoin and NFT markets where I can foresee that they are paid to speculate the price to an extent that it is not achievable. It's the same on bitcoin, we only experienced few bull markets and we still don't know where would all this price speculations can go. I hope that the speculations we have is closer to reality given that we all might disappoint ourselves, I personally think it's better to underestimate bitcoin because it really hypes me up when it exceeded my price expectation.

I have read many articles exaggerating bitcoin price prediction's from both those who claim to be professionals and diverse bitcoin enthusiasts which I felt the necessity within to drop this piece figuratively.

We are expecting too much from bitcoin in just a short time of about 13years since it's creation. By logic bitcoin is just a teenager who has not yet attained the status of adulthood like the forex market for example, yet it has penetrate and saturate the financial market (global economy) becoming the talk of the town in the internet like it has been here 50 years ago.

The high expectations should be moderated so we can be able to appreciate the milestone growth bitcoin price has made. Commensurable with its age bitcoin price is doing great and only those who are not highly expectant setting their price  scale at a great distance of 100k, 150k, 200k will care to appreciate the feat, some even predict as high as $1M in the next bull run and when the price doesn't go even close as expected they complain that the performance of bitcoin has been poor.

And this can be so discouraging for investors that planned on long term hodling with such a high expectancy. Learn to treat bitcoin like a teenager that's just coming up and still has its future ahead of it and stop the unequal comparison with other financial instruments like gold that have been around for decades.

A number of persons might suggest i move the topic to speculation board, however I fondle it also suites here because the topic is not giving a prediction for BTC price but otherwise.   

Bitcoin speculation is  one of the activities within the Bitcoin network that give excitement to Bitcoin holders and keep their motivation and satirical capacity highly alerted with the time as the market keeps revolving and making new waves in terms of price, so for me I believe that speculations will do more good than harm unless for those who may take speculation seriously instead of what it should be taken for which is just for statistical analysis of the Bitcoin market and nothing more.
Bitcoin price speculations shouldn't be taken as an investment advice and more so they should only reflect what the investor feels about the market and what the expert the future price to be like.

Bitcoin is younger than other assets and has proved to be one of the best asset ever therefore demand for it is increasing massively

Therefore, I agree that the price of $ 60k is very important for such a phenomenon as bitcoin. I perfectly remember the moment when a friend told me about bitcoin conda it cost a hundred dollars! I just think what a journey has been made since that moment. What conclusion can be drawn from all this? Bitcoin will not soon renew its All-Time High, because the price is probably growing too fast. So it's better to play in a bear market.

Why do you think that Bitcoin will not update ATH soon? It seems to me that he is moving very confidently towards this goal, but maybe it won’t happen this year and maybe it won’t even happen next year, but I expect 2024-2025 to be the time when the bull market will come and at that time everything will grow.

So, in my opinion, we have to wait not so long and perhaps for us still waiting some corrections, because it cannot only grow constantly, but there is not long left until the bull market.
