TD₿: Bitcoin to $1 Million? This Is What It Actually Looks Like - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Bitcoin isn’t crashing—and it’s not mooning. Sideways price action might = the most bullish signal yet. With record ETF inflows and rising institutional adoption, Bitcoin is quietly building m
Hey Bitcoiners,
In 2025, Bitcoin’s price is frustratingly stagnant—hovering just below all-time highs despite strong tailwinds like record ETF inflows, a weakening dollar, and surging institutional adoption. The Biden administration has embraced Bitcoin with strategic reserve legislation and support for domestic mining, while companies are copying MicroStrategy’s treasury playbook.
Yet, price action remains subdued, prompting speculation about ETF-induced price suppression and concerns that the cycle’s peak may already be in. But many analysts suggest this slow, steady climb is exactly what structural adoption looks like: high-conviction, low-volatility accumulation by institutions who don’t chase hype—they buy quietly, consistently, and with a long-term view.
Joe Carlasare and others argue that Bitcoin’s boom-and-bust cycles may be fading, replaced by more mature, S&P-style growth as institutional buyers become dominant.
These players aren’t phased by drawdowns—they allocate methodically, treating Bitcoin as a core, long-term asset. The parabolic “God candles” of past cycles may give way to a more credible, stable ascent—one that could “bore us to a million dollars.”
Underlying all this is a macro environment that demands constant monetary expansion. In a system built on infinite fiat, Bitcoin’s scarcity becomes not just appealing but inevitable. Whether the dollar declines slowly or collapses suddenly, Bitcoin is structurally designed to win.
