The first bull market in 2012 peaked at $1,132, marking an impressive 8,996% increase over 11 months.

He noted that Bitcoin’s current market cap of around $800 billion is much smaller than gold’s market cap when the GLD ETF launched in 2004.<a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/bitcoin-aims-for-2024-all-time-high-top-analyst-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Also Read: Bitcoin Aims for 2024 All-Time High: Top Analyst Prediction</a>Historical Comparison: Edwards pointed out that gold experienced a parabolic rise of over 300% in just seven years following the launch of the ETF. He emphasized that smaller assets like Bitcoin have the potential for larger upside returns.Bitcoin’s Rapid Growth: Additionally, Edwards highlighted Bitcoin’s rapid growth, stating that it is currently outpacing the adoption rate of the Internet.<img src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptosheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/cryptosheadlines002-7.webp?resize&#61;640%2C294&amp;ssl&#61;1" />BTC price hovers below key resistance, 1-day chart | Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/B8TBj6HI/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTCUSD on TradingView.com</a>Predictions: The hedge fund manager concluded by summarizing his prediction, suggesting that a 500% return over the 18 months following the halving would not be unusual for Bitcoin historically. He also proposed a conservative assumption of an additional 300% return over the next 2-5 years from ETFs alone. Based on these factors, Edwards estimated a conservative Bitcoin price of $300K in the next couple of years.Important: Please note that this article is only meant to provide information and should not be taken as legal, tax, investment, financial, or any other type of advice.
