What was said around it

fundamentals justifying the prices that we're seeing right now and this is with me actually investing in it and this is with me making money in it so far and I'm sure if this continues at one day it will have the fundamentals to justify the prices that we're seeing now if not higher but in order for this to sustain itself we either need way more mainstream adoption or for people to continue buying it higher and higher and higher just with the expectation that more people are going to be buying in because it's going higher and higher and higher like right now I believe it's going to hit 20,000 by the end of this year if not slightly more and the reason I say that is because investors expect it to hit 20,000 so that means that people are buying in now anything under 20 just because they believe it's going to hit 20 and because of that belief it's going to hit 20 and this is the problem I see right now at some point this isn't gonna be able to sustain itself at some point whether or not this point is twenty thousand thirty thousand fifty thousand a hundred thousand or a million I can't see any fundamentals or use really justifying its price and at this point it's really just based on
