What is the expected price prediction for Bitcoin in

2025? It's somewhere between $150,000 to $250,000 USD.

You can buy up Bitcoin and

basically never sell it. People are going to lose a shit

ton of money. More people are going to lose than ever before

in 2025. The banks can now hold

Bitcoin in the bank but without having to have the cash to back it up. This

is massive. This is massive for Bitcoin. If you hold Bitcoin for

a minimum of four years, you will always be in the green.

I'm Matthew Fraser, and this is Crypto Collective. After

making millions with Amazon and e-commerce, I realized that

if I was starting again today, crypto would be my

first choice. I'm here to help you take your first steps

and build real wealth. Ready to set yourself up for life? Let's

go. Hey guys, welcome to Crypto Collective. My name is Matthew

Fraser. And in this episode, we're going to be talking

about my Bitcoin predictions for 2025. Let's

get into it. Well, the first thing is going to be what everyone wants to know about, which is

what is the expected price prediction for Bitcoin in

2025? And there's a range of different numbers out

there, but I'll tell you broadly speaking, the consensus among

most of the experts out there, and I don't consider myself the

expert in Bitcoin price predicting, but I would say

it's somewhere between $150,000 to $250,000 USD.

Now, with that said, there are some people who

are also expecting a price prediction of upwards

of $500,000 USD, but

that's within the next five years. So let's see what happens in that space. So

regarding price predictions, this is how I would form an analysis

and prepare my investments, which is think

that everything is long term, right? So I know a lot of people in

2025, you might be just new getting into the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin space. And

you're thinking, what is the price going to be doing this year?

Okay, I would say don't go by the price

prediction of this year as gospel, right? Because what happens if

the $150,000 price never comes? So

let's just say that you've gotten into the market today and you're expecting a

$150,000 price prediction and you're going to sell. But what happens if

it only gets to $145,000 USD? right,

then your whole plan of selling is

out the window because what's going to happen is if the top is 145, it's

going to come all the way back down to potentially, and history

shows this, it could be down to about 70,000 US dollars. Now,

the flip side of that, of course, is that it doesn't come

back down to $70,000. This could be the super

cycle that some people are talking about. Now, why would it

be a super cycle? Well, it could be a super cycle because of

the absolute mammoth adoption that is

happening with Bitcoin right now. Now, unlike any

other time in history, Bitcoin is being bought up in

record numbers. We've never seen this ever. Now,

who's buying it up? Governments. financial institutions,

money managers like BlackRock, we've got nation states, we've

got companies, and we've got high net wealth

individuals who are clamoring over themselves to buy

Bitcoin. So if that accelerates just like I

think it will, then we may not ever see even

a price under $100,000 ever again. And if it gets to $500,000 and the pullback after 500,000, might

only be $200,000. So the way to get around this

is don't think about what is the price going to be this year because

you may find yourself burnt. I would be having a minimum

four year plan because what we found in history is that if you hold Bitcoin

for a minimum of four years, you will always be in

the green, right? Now, I would be taking it one step further

and be thinking about holding on to Bitcoin for 5, 10, 15, possibly

even 20 years. In fact, for me personally, I'm

never selling Bitcoin. I'm holding on to Bitcoin, as they say, I'm

holding on for dear life. So the reason why we talk

about price increases, $150,000, $250,000, $500,000, it's

backed by regulatory clarity. Now this gives

people confidence to invest in the market. Now there's

that and there's also an increase of M2 money supply, which

is the printing of money by governments, which puts more liquidity into

the marketplace, which ultimately sends not just Bitcoin

up, but altcoins and also property and other things in

the upward trajectory. And that type of clarity

is in place, is happening right before us. So if you have a

look at just the U.S. and the U.S. is a big driver of

sentiment in the world. A lot of things revolve around the

U.S. So right now we've got Donald Trump who has said

that he's talking about bringing in a strategic Bitcoin

reserve, commonly now known as SBR, strategic

Bitcoin reserve. And what that means is that the U.S. government

will simply buy up Bitcoin to hold in their treasury. Now,

because of that, other countries are now looking to the U.S. and

thinking, well, if they're going to do it, then we should do it as well. Now,

just to clarify, the U.S. is not the first country to do this. El Salvador,

amongst two others, Bhutan is another country that is also

holding Bitcoin as a treasury. Now, for all we know, there may be

also other countries, maybe Russia, maybe China, they may also

be holding Bitcoin as a treasury, but we just don't know about it because they're not broadcasting

it out to everybody, right? So, when the common person like

me and you, we're looking at the landscape, and we see countries

who are buying up Bitcoin or even El Salvador who's mining their

own Bitcoin as well, you've got to stand back and think, Maybe

there's something that we don't know about right if they're doing it then

perhaps we should do that as well We don't want to be the one to be late to

the train and in 10 years time think you know what I

knew about those countries adopting Bitcoin as a treasury 10 years

ago, but I did nothing about it. I just sat on the sidelines. Then you find that in

10 years time, Bitcoin could be $10 million a coin. So this is

why it's an amazing opportunity for people to jump onto Bitcoin now, because

US hasn't adopted Bitcoin as a treasury. So you're going to

be front running the federal government of the US. Now,

What's also happening though in the US is states are

trying to front run the federal government. So as of today, there's

about 15 states in the US that are either indicated,

put into submission to create a law to create

their own Bitcoin reserve. That's all happening right now. And so they're

trying to front run the federal government. Now, why are they trying to do that? Because they know

that if the federal government under Trump comes

out with a Bitcoin reserve strategy and gives it a big

tick, In other words, implements that as actual policy, not

just a thought bubble right now. The Bitcoin price is going to

skyrocket, right? It's going to skyrocket. And so the states want

to get in before the federal government sends the price up. Now, what's

now happening because of that is other countries around the world, they

also want to front run the US. These are all positive signs regarding

the regulatory framework that's happening. We've also seen some

other things as well just recently, the repeal of sub-121, which

I'll talk more about that later. So we've also seen some other regulatory things

coming in place, which is all being spearheaded by the Trump government

in the US. And that is creating a digital asset

reserve, also building a sovereign wealth fund. Now,

the sovereign wealth fund doesn't necessarily have to mean that it's for anything

digital. So cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, it can be other things as well. But

all these types of initiatives are all favorable for

Bitcoin. And that's why it's so important to get in So

as a part of one of the regulatory frameworks that's come about is

the repeal of Saab 121. Now you're going to say, Matt, speak

in English, please. What is Saab 121? Saab 121 was

a SEC, which is Securities and Exchange Commission regulation.

And that regulation kind of prohibited banks in

the US from custodying, which means holding Bitcoin in

their own coffers. Now, the reason why was because it

didn't say you can't hold it. What the SEC said was if

you do hold Bitcoin for customers, you also have to back it up

with dollar amount. So if you had one dollar worth of Bitcoin

in the bank, the bank then also had to have a further one

dollar to back up the Bitcoin that they were holding for customers. as

much as you probably don't notice, banks don't like holding cash, right?

What banks do is they lend out cash. They don't

wanna have all this money sitting on their balance sheet doing absolutely

nothing just for Bitcoin. So now with the repeal of

Sub-121, the banks can now hold Bitcoin in

the bank, but without having to have the cash to back it up, okay? And

in recent days, we've seen Bank of America and

also JP Morgan in the US state that they will now

put in a framework to custody Bitcoin. This

is massive. This is massive for Bitcoin because

there's two things that are going to unfold from here. One is that the

average consumer trusts banks. That's the first thing. So

people in the West, we don't wake up and think, I

wonder if my money is going to be in Westpac today, or are they going to steal it? That's

not something that we think about. But in other countries like

Lebanon, that is something that they do think about. I'm sure there's other countries too,

like Zimbabwe. They wake up in the night and think, is my

money still going to be in the bank tomorrow? And that's why Bitcoin is

so powerful and that's why a lot of those countries moved to Bitcoin. But with the US

and other Western countries, they can now hold Bitcoin.

So that means that for the average punter, rather than having to custody

the Bitcoin yourself and figure all that out, you can simply just

go to the bank. You'll probably be able to buy Bitcoin through

the bank and they will hold it in the bank. So basically, basically means

you could go on to your Bank of America net

bank They'll have your savings account, your home loan, your credit

card, and then there'll be another line that'll say Bitcoin. And

that's where your Bitcoin will then sit. And that's so, so powerful because

it takes all the rigmarole, but a lot of the custodying

issues now holds with the bank rather than yourself, right? So a lot of

people are going to like that. The other thing and the other reason why it's

going to be so powerful is because now, once the

banks hold Bitcoin, they will now start lending you

money against your Bitcoin, right? Now let me just say that again.

They'll start lending you cash, as in USD or

eventually when it hits Australia, Australian dollars, against your

Bitcoin, right? Now think about that. What it means is

that you can buy up Bitcoin and basically never sell it,

right? Because you'll always be able to borrow against the Bitcoin.

Now you're going to say, why would I do that? Why not

just buy and sell Bitcoin as I need it? The

reason why is because Bitcoin is the best asset,

it's the best performing asset we've seen over the past at least one

decade. So the question is, one, why would you want to sell

Bitcoin if it's the best performing asset, when you could simply borrow

Australian dollars, or in this case US dollars, against your Bitcoin to

go and use on other things. The other thing to think about is when

you sell Bitcoin, particularly if it's at a profit, you're

now up for capital gains tax. And in Australia, there

is a capital gains tax on Bitcoin. So by not

selling it, you're not paying the tax, the borrowed money you get against the

Bitcoin is also not taxed because it's borrowed money. You

can then go and use that money for things like buying a house if buying

a house is of something of interest or buying a car, whatever it is. and you can hold

onto your Bitcoin and see its growth all the way into

the future. So this repeal of Saab

121 is absolutely massive for Bitcoin. Hey, just quickly,

back to the episode. There's no secret if you follow me on Instagram, and

that is that I love Trump. OK, and I love what he's doing,

especially in the crypto space, amongst other things. But

he's the first openly proud crypto president that

the Western world has ever seen, right? Certainly the first US president. And

that is simply putting in place a standard for all

other Western countries to follow. Now, not only is he pro-crypto, but

he's also, his family is pro-crypto. His

friends are pro-crypto. And that's why he's put in someone like David Sachs,

who's in charge. He's like the crypto czar, as they call him. So he's putting

together a special committee to look into how to acquire

and put in positive regulation around holding

and buying and selling of crypto. And of course, when you've

got your family who's involved, who understand Bitcoin

and how instrumental it's going to be into the future, it can only

be positive. Now, I want to just say that

one of the things of Trump coming out was recently the Trump coin. There was the Trump coin

and the Melania coin, which were both meme

coins. And there's been a lot of talk about whether this was good

or bad for the crypto space. In my opinion,

I think it's good for the crypto space. And I mean, good for the crypto space

in the sense that, hey, at least we have a president. Now, I'm not saying, first of

all, that he was actually building the meme coin himself,

right? He has obviously a team of people that are secondary to him who

deal with it, who put his name on it, right? But the fact that he's

done that just shows that how positive he is towards

the crypto space. The other thing is

that it will open up the doorway to, I think, other

types of celebrities, and Trump is a celebrity. So, for

example, we may see other tokenised personal brands,

such as Michael Jordan, or we could see famous

singers, or we could see actors, or even brands like

Nike. They could come out with their own meme coin. And you,

if you want to support that type of person or company, you can

buy into the brand to show your support. Now,

I just got to come out and say, initially, when the Trump

coin came out, I did not buy the Trump coin. And a lot of people

calling me saying, Matt, Matt, are you going to buy the Trump coin? I was like, nah, nah,

I'm not buying the Trump coin. Meanwhile, by the time that people were even

calling me, the Trump coin was going down. So it got released, it went up,

and then it was coming back down again. Now, my admission today

is that I did actually buy some Trump coin, right?

I know I bought it, but I did it for, it's a bit of

a hedge. I'm prepared to lose all the money. It was only like $3,000. And

so if it goes to zero, then I'm not really gonna care. But I

did see something interesting about meme coins. And that was that

after the initial pump, there's a period where it moves sideways for

maybe a year, maybe it's six months. but then ultimately some

of these big meme coins such as Pepe such

as Bonk or Dog with Hat things like that they actually

then go on to do Big, big numbers. Now, I'm

not going to tell you the exact numbers. Maybe 30, 40 X's from there. So, for

me, I'm like, hey, I'll throw some money in and just see what happens. And

the other thing too is I actually do support Trump. So,

it's my way of just holding something that's in relation to Trump. Now,

the other thing I want to say about Trump is that Trump's

company, which I think is called Liberty Finance, holds

a number of altcoins and Bitcoin. Now,

if you go into their company and see what they're holding,

I found it quite interesting. And there was two particular coins that they're

holding that I thought, you know what, let's just take a punt on. Obviously, Bitcoin,

I already hold that. But these other two altcoins, one was called Athena, and

one was called Ondo. This is not an endorsement of

those particular coins. This is purely gambling, okay?

I'm not saying that these are gonna do anything. They could go to zero, so do not

buy these. In fact, you shouldn't buy these coins. But Athena and

Ondo is where I put. I think I put $4,000 in,

maybe $4,500 in to each coin. Again,

if it goes to zero, it's only the teeniest amount of money

compared to my portfolio. It's not going to be a big deal. But my

train of thought is, hey, you know, if Trump holds these coins,

do your own research. But if Trump holds these coins, maybe

there's something behind that. And maybe we might see 20, 40, maybe

1,000x gains. And for me, it's worth taking a punt on. The other

prediction for 2025 is that we

will see a lot of volatility. It's not going to

be a straight line. Let's say it goes to $250,000 this

year. It's not going to go up and to the right in a straight

line. It's not going to happen. you're going to see dips and you could

see dips of even up to 30% because history shows we

look back in the 2021 bull cycle, there was about four

dips, which saw somewhere around 20 to 30% drops each

time. And what you got to be careful of is each time you saw

that dip, there were people that thought that was the end of crypto, right?

So imagine you bought today at $100,000 USD a coin

and it went to 150. But then it dropped back to 30. A

lot of people then think, oh my god this is the end of the world we need

to sell out now this is doom and gloom there's other factors that

you've got to look at to know whether you're really at the top of the market like

is it overheated i'm going to tell you one little trick that i heard the

other day and that was that if coinbase becomes

the number one downloaded app on the

app store then that's a signal that the market could

be at the very top. Don't take that to the bank, but that's what I

heard. Isn't that an interesting fact though? So when we're talking about dips in

the market, I want to give you my strategy because it may be different to

your strategy. My strategy is to continue to buy

Bitcoin forever into the future. So even

if the market this cycle gets to $250,000 and comes down,

I'm still going to buy. If the market gets to $250,000 and

continues to go up, I'm still going to buy. So I'm looking at

this as a 20 plus year investment rather

than what is it doing in 2025 only, okay?

Now there are some coins however in my altcoin portfolio that

I am definitely selling. Like there's probably 90% of

the altcoins I'm selling back to zero when I think the

market is getting too overheated and reaching the

top. I'm not going to try and time the exact top. In fact, what I'll

probably do is scale out as we go up and make profits into

the future. But I can tell you now though, the altcoins as of today are

not looking so good. The only altcoin I hold that's even

in profit is Solana. And that's because I'm just getting murdered

on some of these other altcoins and I just don't want to sugarcoat it.

I don't want to tell you I'm sitting here just making all this money. But

I also want to say too that my overall portfolio of altcoins

is small compared to

my Bitcoin and Solana holdings, okay? So even

if my altcoins go to zero altogether, not

including Solana and Bitcoin, then I'm not

going to be bankrupt, okay? So I know some

people when they come into this market, they only buy altcoins because

they think that they're gonna do better than Bitcoin. What's

interesting though is as we saw over last year, it was actually Bitcoin

that outperformed most of the altcoin market. Now,

I'm not saying that it was everything. There were some altcoins that did super duper

returns. But you've got to be so on

the money and know exactly what you're looking at. And it's basically, in

my opinion, it's pretty much going to be a fluke if you

just happen to find a low cap or coin

that you happen to do 1000x in last year. So it's very,

very difficult. The best strategy for generational wealth, in

my opinion, if you want to make it simple, is just a dollar cost

average into Bitcoin into the future and regardless of

the price. And remember, do not sell. So we talk about the Bitcoin price

predictions for this year. And what happens is every time

we see a new price, It's

going to be a new all-time price. At the moment, it's sitting at

about $109,000 USD. The next stop

is probably going to be around $120,000 to $130,000 if we get there. And what we're going

to see because of that is more people coming

into the market. So there'll be more adoption. And just through

human psychology, it's just a fact that when the

price goes up, then people want to buy. And

then when, of course, it goes backwards, they all freak out, right? And they don't buy. They

only wait for it to go up. And this is the actual reverse mentality

that you need to have to be a good investor. Today,

it's sitting under the all-time high. So in my opinion, now

is a good time to buy. But even if it breaks the $110 mark, $110,000 mark,

it would still be a good time to buy if you're looking at Bitcoin as

the next 10-year investment. Because in my opinion, by

2030, it's going to get to likely 1 million to 1.5 million

USD anyway. So if you have that timeframe in mind, today

is still a good price. But that's going to be the prediction for

this year, mass adoption, not just because of

the price point, though, but also because of the institutional adoption

the state's adoption, the federal government's

adoptions in companies, which will all encourage more

people to dive into the market. And my last prediction,

I've saved the best for last, unfortunately, my last prediction

for 2025 is that people are going to lose a

shit ton of money. More people are going to lose than

ever before in 2025. And you're going to

say, but Matt, how is that possible? Because everything is going to

go up. Bitcoin is going to go up. Probably the altcoins will go up. Well,

I think that Bitcoin will go up. However, The

reason why we're going to see so many people lose money is because emotions are

going to set in. So before, when I talked about you, we'll

see 20% or 30% dips through this bull

run cycle. People will sell at losses. People

won't be able to stomach the decreases that could possibly happen

in a day, you could see a 20% drop in Bitcoin in

a single day. It has happened before. And people who are new

to the market simply won't be able to pull up

their socks and put their big boy pants on and just say, look, I'm going

to hold on for dear life, right? Because they don't

understand the market. Okay, and that's why it's so important to get people

around you who understand what's happening, who have been through multiple

cycles. You can find lots of people online, but if

you want to jump into the community, I have a private community you can come and

hang out in. Find the link in the bio or in the description at Crypto

Collective. It's absolutely free to do and at least get some support.

and ask questions as to what is happening in the marketplace. Thank

you so much for joining me on this episode of the Predictions of

2025. And remember, do not get shaken out. Hold on

to your Bitcoin for dear life. All right, take care. Thanks for
