Diverse Outlooks on Cryptocurrency in 2025

The price of Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has fallen to 80,000 dollars.
It seems fair to say that a clear correction is under way after it broke through 100,000 dollars.
At this point, with Bitcoin undergoing a correction, let's summarize the positive and negative outlooks so far on what kind of investment to make, and think these opinions through.

# Positive outlooks #
1. Galaxy Digital: Citing large-scale inflows of funds from institutions and at the national level, it expects Bitcoin to break through 150,000 dollars in the first half of 2025 and rise to 185,000 dollars by year-end.
2. Standard Chartered: Based on Bitcoin establishing itself as digital gold and being recognized as a long-term store of value, it forecasts that it could reach 200,000 dollars by the end of 2025.
3. U.S. President Trump: He signaled that he will pursue crypto-friendly policies and announced plans to appoint venture capitalist David Sacks as a senior official in the incoming administration to lead on cryptocurrency.
4. Sean Farrell, head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat: He forecasts that while Bitcoin is volatile in the short term, it could rise to 120,000 dollars within a few weeks
5. Bitcoin halving effect: Halvings have been a major driver of price increases, and a similar pattern is likely to repeat in the future
6. Expanding institutional investment: Large financial institutions and companies are including Bitcoin in their portfolios, steadily increasing demand
7. Expanding use as a means of payment: As Bitcoin is adopted as a means of payment, its use in the real economy is increasing

# Negative outlooks #
1. Chief analyst at crypto asset management firm Paradigm: Warned of a short-term correction because Bitcoin's value rose too quickly.
2. Crypto analyst Becker: When Bitcoin reaches 100,000 dollars, the market is likely to overheat, and that point could be the time to sell.
3. Bitcoin mining causes high energy consumption, and its environmental impact remains a subject of ongoing controversy, which could lead to stronger regulation.
4. U.S. President Trump's tariff policies are likely to bring declines in risk assets along with stocks.
5. The SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) maintains its position of treating digital assets as securities and is likely to tighten crypto regulation.
6. China has completely banned crypto mining and trading, and India is newly considering high tax rates and regulatory policies, so demand is expected to decrease.
