Bitcoin has broken past $100,000 after months of little movement. It now trades near $103,484 and some view that as a buying chance. Others warn that even this level could rise further.
According to Lawrence Lepard of Equity Management Associates, there is a big difference ahead for people based on their Bitcoin ownership. One person might look back with regret for not buying at today’s levels. Another could be praised for saving up to buy a full coin. He pointed out that holding $0.1 coin will feel huge if prices climb.

Whole Coin Versus Fractional Holds
Based on comments from Bitcoin advocate Lark Davis, even owning one Bitcoin will seem “absurd” in a few years. Lepard backed that up by saying that the asset can move fast and without much warning. Some early buyers treated Bitcoin as “sound money,” and they still believe it can leap 10 times or more from here.
Owning 1 Bitcoin will seem absurd in a few years!

Price Forecasts For 2025
Several predictions back a rise to $200,000 or $300,000 this cycle. Standard Chartered projects a move to 200,000 by the end of this year. Another model from Sina’s quantile analysis pegs $285,000 as a mid‑point target. Those figures remain well above today’s levels—Bitcoin is still 93% away from $200,000 and 190% away from $300,000.
Sky High Long Term Target
Looking further out, Lepard thinks $10 million per coin is possible. That level would make Bitcoin worth about $210 trillion overall. He linked that vision to rising inflation and weak monetary policy in many US and global markets. Critics point out that reaching such a value means absorbing more than twice today’s broad money supply.
Bitcoin has a record of sharp moves. Prices can surge dramatically one day and fall the next. That creates risk but also a chance for big gains. Investors who choose to buy now may benefit if the forecasts hold true. But timing the entry and exit remains tricky.
What Investors Might Do
Some will stick with small positions like $0.1 coin. Others may aim for a full coin over time. According to trade data, more institutions have started adding Bitcoin to their holdings this year. Whether that trend continues could steer prices more than any single forecast.
In the end, buying Bitcoin today carries both hope and uncertainty. For those who back its “hard money” appeal, today’s price may feel like a bargain. For everyone else, the ride ahead could be rough. Either way, the story of Bitcoin’s next moves is far from over.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
