Can Ethereum reach 8,000–12,000? The price and direction can’t be shouted into existence. In each Ethereum bull cycle, its market share is around 20% to 25%. In 2017, the crypto market cap was 800 billion; in 2021, it was 3 trillion; in 2026, how much do you think it will be in this cycle? The crown prince has always emphasized a minimum of 750 billion (a market cap of 7.5 trillion). If that’s the case, a 1.5 trillion market cap would be Ethereum’s. In the previous gold bull market, in each round the market grew by tens of billions (of billions). This time, it directly grew by “tens of billions” (over several tens of trillions), which proves that this bull cycle has more liquidity!

Also, you need to consider the incremental market: if the main players don’t “eat meat” for five years, what impact will that have on the market? Retail investors don’t really care—these five years have already had all the ‘hair’ (profit potential) plucked clean! Money can only withdraw when the trend is rising!
