Tom Lee Predicts $200K Bitcoin by Year-End! But Will It Actually Happen?

So here’s the deal: Bitcoin is allegedly gearing up for a “massive” fourth-quarter rally, and apparently Fundstrat’s Tom Lee is staking his reputation on it. His prediction? $200,000 by the end of the year. Yeah, that’s right. Not $50K, not $100K-$200K. Sounds a little… ambitious? But hey, who are we to argue with “momentum”? 🤷‍♂️

Tom Lee Says Bitcoin Could Hit $200K by Year-End-But Will the Fed Let It?

Alright, folks, let’s talk Bitcoin. The crypto fanatics are coming out in full force, and they’ve got a wild new theory: Bitcoin could surge to $200K by the end of this year. But before you go buying your “Bitcoin to the Moon” merch, here’s the catch: they’re basing this on “favorable monetary conditions” and Bitcoin’s history of doing “really well” in Q4. Yeah, because the last few years have totally been a blueprint for perfect investments, right? 🙄

Tom Lee, the guy behind Fundstrat Global Advisors (which is apparently a big deal), got on CNBC last week and dropped this bomb: “Bitcoin is super sensitive to monetary policy,” he said. Gee, Tom, thanks for that insight. Who knew? But apparently, he’s betting that the Federal Reserve’s Sept. 17 meeting will be a “catalyst” for Bitcoin to rocket to the moon. 🚀

And then, this little gem: “Bitcoin could easily get to $200K before year-end. I know it’s a big move. It’s almost a double.” Oh, just a *small* double, no biggie. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see that? Just don’t be surprised if we’re still at $25K in December. 🤷‍♂️

“So, I think Bitcoin can easily get to $200,000 before year-end. I know it’s a big move. It’s almost a double.”

When asked whether Bitcoin could hit $200K by Christmas, Lee was like, “Yup, totally. The only reason it stalled this year is because the Fed’s been on pause for nine months.” You heard that right-*nine months*. I don’t know about you, but if a pause from the Fed is what’s stopping a digital currency from going up, maybe we’ve been missing the point. 🤦‍♂️

He went on to explain that the last time the Fed had a similar pause, equities did “really well.” Apparently, that’s the golden key to Bitcoin’s success. But again, it’s not like this has worked out in a predictable way before, right? 🤨

“So I think it’s going to be a very strong fourth quarter.”

But hold on, not everyone’s buying into Tom Lee’s sunshine and rainbows prediction. Enter Peter Schiff, the resident Bitcoin skeptic, who popped onto X (formerly Twitter, because why not?) to point out that Bitcoin might actually tank below $100K instead of hitting $200K. Yeah, because who doesn’t love a good contrarian take? 🤡

Schiff’s view reflects the broader group of skeptics who think Bitcoin’s just a rollercoaster with no brakes. Meanwhile, Lee’s supporters are all like, “Historically, easing cycles have been good for crypto, so we’re just going to pretend the past doesn’t matter and go all-in on this $200K fantasy.”

So, will Bitcoin hit $200K? Who knows. But if you’re going to bet on it, just make sure you’ve got a *lot* of patience (and maybe a prayer or two). 😬
