Recently, there has been an increasing number of voices predicting Bitcoin prices, with a well-known exchange founder stating outright: "Bitcoin surging to $200,000 is almost a certainty," calling it "the most inevitable scenario about to unfold." This viewpoint immediately sparked widespread discussion in the market.

How credible is this prophecy? Looking at historical cycles, each halving cycle has been accompanied by large-scale institutional capital deployment. Changes in the global macro environment and continuous influxes of traditional capital are constantly reinforcing the consensus on Bitcoin's scarcity. Technological applications are also quietly penetrating—blockchain is no longer just theoretical.

The most convincing evidence comes from on-chain data. Despite frequent short-term fluctuations, the proportion of long-term holders continues to rise, active addresses on the chain steadily increase, and whale accounts show clear signs of accumulation. Behind these cold, hard numbers, it reflects that more and more participants are voting with their actions, betting that Bitcoin's story of value is far from over.

Interestingly, many people are still hesitating whether to enter the market, while major players are already looking further ahead. Having missed out on the past decade, what will the current choices lead to?

Will $200,000 really be achieved before 2025? Are you inclined to believe it, or prefer to wait and see?

Coming back with the same story? You hyped it up like this last time too, and I ended up losing a lot | But the on-chain data is indeed accumulating, the whales have been lurking for a while, and we're still hesitating | $200,000... to be honest, it's a bit uncertain, but who can say for sure? Anyway, I've already FOMOed half of my assets haha | The biggest fear now is being dumped on again by the whales, the fate of retail investors

Talking about 200,000 again? The last time I heard that was last year. Are these comments just repeating like this now?

$200,000? Wake up, Bitcoin still needs to wait a bit longer --- Whales are eating up the chips, we're watching the K-line, such a big difference --- It's "about to appear" again, I've heard this phrase for three years --- On-chain data looks good, but my wallet is still empty, what should I do? --- Missing out for ten years is one thing, but now if I get in, isn't it just taking over? --- I trust institutions are making moves, but the question is, when will retail investors get a chance to profit? --- Anyway, I’m holding on, either wait until it hits 200K or keep holding forever --- Sounds nice, but isn’t it just to make us rush in? --- The proportion of long-term holders is increasing? That just means it’s a long way to break even --- Is this prophecy the same as last year's, or did another exchange founder say it again?

$200,000? To be honest, it's a bit uncertain, but seeing the whales buying so aggressively really makes people nervous.
