Oh my god, I just saw the Galaxy Research forecast report, and I am completely stunned. 😱 BTC to reach $250,000 by the end of 2027? What kind of concept is that... How much is it now? My mind is a bit overwhelmed.

The most outrageous part is the data from the options market, with a 50/50 chance of the price being either $50,000 or $250,000 by the end of the year? That gap is just too huge! It feels like 2026 is like a "probability gamble," and even experts say the market is too chaotic to predict accurately. What should I do as a newbie?

But on the other hand, the predictions that the total market cap of privacy tokens will break 100 billion, and that there will be over 100 spot altcoin ETFs, sound like the entire crypto market is rapidly developing. I’ve always wondered why everyone is so optimistic about this field, and now I seem to understand a little bit.

Can any veterans explain whether we newbies should HODL and wait, or should we start with small trades first? It feels like this wave is coming, but I don’t want to lose money 😅
