Let me break down the math on Bitcoin hitting $180k. The numbers here are pretty straightforward.

From today's price, BTC needs to push up roughly $84,900 per coin. That's about an 89.3% jump from current levels. Not exactly pocket change, but certainly within the realm of possibility if we're looking at a serious bull run.

Now, flip the lens to market cap. We're sitting at roughly $1.9 trillion currently. If Bitcoin actually does reach $180k, we're looking at a target market cap of around $3.58 trillion. That means the crypto market would need to absorb an additional $1.68 trillion in value.

So the real question isn't just whether BTC can double—it's whether the broader market has another $1.68 trillion worth of conviction to pour in. It's ambitious, but considering where we've come from in previous cycles, it's not exactly unreasonable. The math checks out. Whether it happens is another story entirely.
