25K might happen, before the BIG rise.
When the derivatives market crashes, (watch Deutche bank) everyone will wish they bought gold at 25K and BTC at 15K. Both will moon imho.
The money in the markets has to go somewhere, either suitcases of cash, or gold/silver or BTC until the markets recover.
$0.02 YMMV
