Bitcoin is often seen by investors as a way to achieve great wealth, a special asset that can rapidly increase in value and reach extraordinary price levels. Analyst Willy Woo has suggested that the heyday of Bitcoin may be waning, projecting that its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will likely decrease and level off at around 8%. He presented a chart illustrating how Bitcoin's CAGR has dropped significantly from over 100% in 2017 to approximately 30–40% post-2020, coinciding with the period when major institutions started acquiring Bitcoin.

Despite Woo's projections, not everyone shares his viewpoint. Fred Krueger noted that Bitcoin has already surged sevenfold from its low in December 2022, now trading at $103,000 as of May 2025. In contrast, Arthur Hayes has made an even bolder prediction, forecasting that Bitcoin could hit $1 million before the conclusion of Donald Trump's current term, reaching $250,000 by the end of 2025, marking a 1,000% gain in four years.

Analyzing the future potential of Bitcoin, Willy Woo highlighted the significance of GDP growth and monetary expansion. According to Paul Guerra, the Head of Social at RealVision, liquidity plays a key role in driving asset price movements in today's market landscape, causing traditional diversification strategies to become less effective. With global liquidity expanding at an annual rate of 8%, Bitcoin's price could potentially rise to $300,000 by 2025, entering what Guerra refers to as the "Banana Zone," characterized by significant asset price surges fueled by ample liquidity.

While these forecasts give weight to macroeconomic aspects, there are rising concerns about technical risks, such as the potential threat that advancements in quantum computing pose to Bitcoin's long-term reliability.
