The price of Bitcoin has almost quadrupled from $11,000 to $47,000 following some of the most theatrical power plays by big-money investors during the last three months. All giddy and bullish since the historic financial uptick, big-time crypto investors are speculating that Bitcoin will rise as high as $50,000 within the next three days.

While Bitcoin backdrop continues to compete with gold as an alternative means for storing capital, renowned experts and analysts forecast the digital currency to hit $100,000 by December 2021.

While this speaks volumes about the amount of growth expected for the digital currency in the next few months, it raises doubts about surviving what experts call ‘the mother of all bubbles’.

So, what exactly is a bubble?

A bubble is when the price of an asset exceeds its inherent value on the back of investment trends and media reports.

When the price peaks at some point, the ‘bubble’ in this case eventually ‘pops’, and the price collapses.

To that effect, crypto projections vary ferociously. While some say that it might reach $60,000 by 2022, others suggest it might even hit $100,000 before 2021 ends. Despite the fluctuations, crypto optimists are confident that “these fluctuations are not going to be enough to slow it down. Bitcoin will likely break $50,000 in 2021”.

Not everyone is sure about the market being in bubble territory, and perhaps this element of uncertainty has fuelled speculations that the “Bitcoin would peak at $115,212 /BTC in August 2021”.

Where is this Trust Coming From?

In contrast to the trends observed in 2017, the reason for the investors’ renewed faith in crypto this year involves the notable firms and tech conglomerates that are doing the investing. In 2017, the price of Bitcoin had peaked because of the individual investors who had believed in the future and value of the digital currency. Back then, Bitcoin was not considered an intelligent investment as it was not backed by either assets or any government due to a lack of mainstream support.
