Crypto analyst predicts little consolidation at this level, noting that Bitcoin’s memetic nature and attention-grabbing milestones create volatility and potential upside.
$100,000 a Bitcoin doesn't just represent a price.
It represents that the world is gradually acknowledging Bitcoin as the reserve currency of the future.
It represents a rejection of the existing financial system.
It represents financial freedom.
