In this Market Mondays Medium clip, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, financial enthusiast Tom Lee, and analyst Ian Dunlap dive deep into the explosive topic of Bitcoin’s future. Is a wild run to $250,000 by year end possible, or is this pure optimism? Tom Lee kicks off with his signature bullish take, predicting Bitcoin could soar to between $200K–$250K before the year wraps up, aligning with technical forecasts and seasonal strength. Rashad breaks down Tom’s history as a Bitcoin bull and points out exactly how big a leap this would be—from $110,000 to $250,000 in just 75 days! Ian Dunlap brings the data, laying out Bitcoin’s strong performance following its halving cycles: past years have shown jumps up to 7,000%, 291%, and 541%. This year’s gain is around 44%, and he feels a doubling could happen, but sees $250K as unrealistic in such a short window. He explains how cycles and rate hikes affect predictions, and why historical trends matter. Troy Millings challenges viewers to do their own thought exercises—what global events would actually propel Bitcoin that high? Is extreme optimism driving media narratives, or is there substance behind the hype? He pushes for understanding beyond headlines, and reminds us that market players and institutions control much of the flow. Both Ian and Troy agree: While $250K by year end seems extremely unlikely, a major run-up next year is within the realm of possibility—if institutions, governments, and hedge funds all strike “risk on” mode. This clip is a must-watch for any crypto investor, trader, or enthusiast wanting honest talk, historical context, and no-nonsense debate.
