Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.

Stock-2-Flow (S2F) founder PlanB just took to the X platform to reaffirm that the price target for Bitcoin (BTC) is $500,000. He claimed that his forward guidance for the coin has not changed in the last three years when Bitcoin price traded at just $20,000. This latest forecast is one of the boldest for the coin looking ahead into 2025.

Factors to Drive the Price Growth – Halving and Pump

PlanB highlighted two of his previous X posts where he made some predictions about the future outlook of Bitcoin.

One of these posts dates back to October 2022 while he shared the other last year. In the earlier post, the analyst noted that his forward guidance for the next three years for Bitcoin takes account of the 2024 halving event. He noted that the halving can significantly boost the price of BTC.

PlanB is convinced that most of the Stock-2-Flow (S2F) model impact will play out this year. Utlimately, this validates the S2F target of approximately $500,000 projected for this year.

Before Q4, 2024 came to an end, Bitcoin price hit $100,000 and rallied as high as $108,000, setting it as an All-Time High (ATH).

The coin has pared off its gains thus far. At the moment, the coin is currently trading at $94,591.42 amid a 1.16% surge in the past 24 hours. Per his latest forecast, PlanB struck the $100,000 level from his list. Besides the average target of $500,000, he said the coin could trade in the high range of $250,000 to $1 million.

My forward guidance for 2025 has not changed since 2022 (when bitcoin was 20k, see below):
✅rise into April 2024 halving
✅halving around S2F value
✅pump after halving
✅ 100k in 2024
⬜️ 2025: hit S2F target ~500k average (range 250k-1m) https://t.co/Neet5BQ90W pic.twitter.com/osA3vXAW9D

The New 2025 Bitcoin Price Range Target

The PlanB price target for Bitcoin may seem insurmountable to a few market observers but it is worth noting that it aligns with predictions from other experts.

The general 2025 BTC price predictions noted that the coin’s valuation may fall within the range of $150,000 to $300,000. Several experts believe the potential establishment of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve will be a key event that could help propel the coin to new highs in 2025.

Institutional investors’ adoption is another factor that could serve as a lever for the price of the coin. Business intelligence and software firm MicroStrategy is one of the institutions leading this movement. Recently, MicroStrategy bought 2,138 BTC for $209 million to take its total count to 446,400 BTC.

Other firms like Riot Platforms and Semler Scientific are also joining the trend.
