Bitcoin price<\/a> has spent the last two years hovering around $10,000 \u2013 a key resistance level that in the past has incited serious FOMO. But according to an early Bitcoin investor who has seen a thing or two, the cryptocurrency won’t hover around that price forever and sees parallels between the current price action compared the calm before the breakout into the last bull market.<\/p>\n

Early Crypto Investor: Bitcoin Can’t Hover Around $10,000 Forever<\/h2>\n

The world will know soon enough if scarcity-focused valuation methods like the stock-to-flow model<\/a> continue to hold true for Bitcoin. But if they are accurate, the lowered block reward miners now receive in BTC should begin to force Bitcoin prices higher due to lower supply flow.<\/p>\n

Natural supply and demand dynamics then begin to sway in favor of price increase, and the asset forms a bubble. And there’s no reason to think otherwise \u2013 that’s exactly what the cryptocurrency did several times now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the cryptocurrency’s halving in 2016, the asset spent what to crypto investors at the time felt like forever trading below $600. When Bitcoin finally took out that level and left it behind, the crypto asset never looked back.<\/p>\n

Instead, it plowed right along through every next psychological resistance<\/a> level imaginable, until it slammed headfirst into $20,000 at peak exuberance and hype.<\/p>\n

The same thing is happening once again, but this time at $10,000<\/a>. An early Bitcoin investor who experienced this for themself had dug up an old tweet to show the parallels between each market cycle and where things may potentially be at this time around.<\/p>\n

The tweet was from almost exactly four years earlier, and if the every-four-year halving-based theories are correct, Bitcoin is about to take off just like it did last time around.<\/p>\n

In no future does bitcoin forever hover around $10,000. Long-term it\u2019s either $0 or $100,000K+ https:\/\/t.co\/YNMd852BcJ<\/a><\/p>\n
