Looking ahead, what will happen in 2026? Will BTC test lows for a long time? When, if ever will it break above 130k? Will Bitcoin lose popularity as other blockchains like Ethereum and Solana onboard users through VISA stablecoins?
Will Bitcoin continue to surprise us all and break new all time highs, or fall into irrelevance as the last million Bitcoins are mined? Is this FUD or FOMO? Will BTC reach 1 Million? And when it does, how long will it linger there, or fall again below old ATHs? I have so many questions. Only time will tell, it is an unfolding story we are all here to witness. Will life go on? Will Bitcoin blocks keep getting mined, when the block reward drops to 1.5625 BTC? Will Bitcoin keep working 10 years from now? I think, probably. These systems are functional, and higher prices are likely inevitable-- but it will take some time.
Thankfully we do have time, to buy some Bitcoin and have some in a wallet. Many people think it's over or they missed it, or that there's no reason to start. But someday you might want to have some Bitcoin, so you have to buy.
I knew about Bitcoin long ago from those 'Magic Internet Money' ads on Reddit. I liked looking at the Photography and other interesting upvoted things. I thought about it a bunch of times, but not in any significant way. When I started playing this game on my phone called 'Bitcoin Billionaire' I was like 'I should buy some Bitcoin' but I soon learned that you had to mine it and if you couldn't then maybe you could faucet some satoshis. Even back then, those who knew were few.
Those wallets are all long lost, but the lessons learned remain. I think in the long view what is important is to track your expenses and income, using a budget to really understand your financial situation, and live within your means.
Then you will have the money available to buy $100 of BTC every once and a while, but you gotta keep buying. All the interest I am paying on my credit card could be Bitcoin purchases, this is what lights a fire to pay my debts.
I wonder if Bitcoin will become an altcoin down the road, I really find more usefulness in something like Hive functionally, although BTC continues to blow everything else away and rise above all. 56.59% of the value is BTC.
It does appear that the top pattern has appeared, but at significantly higher level than last time. Bitcoin can trade up and down here for a long time while we wait for the next halving. Countdown to April 10 2028

What is your 'Buy level'? Will you buy Bitcoin at 90k? 80k? 70k? When will you sell, 400k? 800k? 1.2m? 10m? Will bitcoin ever reach 10 million per coin mathematically? I want to know so I am always asking questions.
AI: 'a logical estimation based on halving cycles and historical price parabolas indicates Bitcoin might reach $10 million per coin sometime between the 6th and 8th halving, roughly between 2032 and 2040' Perplexity
So maybe in 15 years, will you be alive? Will you want some Bitcoin when it is 'theoretically' higher than a million? I might wanna stop eating cheeseburgers in 2026 so I can buy some more Bitcoin. Every time I use a coupon I am saving money, but better yet is buying BTC. Every time I bought a Lottery ticket the past few years, I have excitement but it ends in disappointment.

Don't be saying "I should have bought Bitcoin" next year, when right now in November 2025 there is a chance to buy 0.00107297 BTC for $100 USD.
