11% Growth By Year-End
The Finder’s shared their thoughts on where they believe the price of the digital asset will be ending up. According to them, they expect another 11% growth in the price of bitcoin from its current level. This will put BTC at a price of $21,344 by the time 2022 is over. This is different from the previous predictions from the Finder’s panel through the course of 2021. Back in January 2022, the panel had said that they saw the price of BTC finishing the year at $76,360 by year-end. This would be reduced in April 2022 when the same panel had put the year-end price at $65,185. Another reduction saw them tender a $25,473 forecast for the digital asset back in July.BTC price falls below $19,000 | Source:
Bitcoin In The Long Term
Like always, the Finder’s panel did not only tender forecasts for the short term but also for the long term. These forecasts tend to span almost a decade, putting prices at where they think they will be at various important dates in the future.In addition to 2022, they also gave price forecasts for the years 2025 and 2030. Even these forecasts saw an upward trajectory, although lower than their previous expectations, keeping in line with the bullish outlook of the panel.
The first, in 2025, they expect the asset to trade at $79,000. In April, this figure was $179,000, and $107,000 in July. The 2030 forecasts were revealed to be $270,000. To put this in perspective, the panel had previously said that BTC would hit $314,000 back in July, and $420,000 back in April.
Despite the varying price predictions, the report showed that 77% of the experts in the panel still believe that bitcoin is a store of value. “Nothing fundamentally has changed for Bitcoin, it’s a global capital crisis, and Bitcoin is affected in a short term but will recover; a lot of other financial assets will not,” said Serhii Zhdanov, CEO of EXMO.Featured image from MARCA, chart from TradingView.com
