Bitcoin hit **$86,000** this week.

And not long ago, we were around the mid-$60,000s.

Think about how quickly the psychology changes.

At $65,000, people were scared.

**“I’ll wait.”**

**“It’s going lower.”**

**“I’ll buy when things settle down.”**

Then Bitcoin moved through $75,000.

Then $80,000.

And on Monday, Bitcoin surged above **$86,000**, reaching an intraday high above $87,000\. 

Now the people who were afraid to buy cheaper are starting to feel FOMO.

**This is exactly how Bitcoin works.**

And there are real forces behind the move.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted **$433 million in net inflows on Friday alone**, led by Fidelity and BlackRock. 

Strategy also disclosed another **$75.7 million Bitcoin purchase**, bringing its holdings to approximately **846,000 BTC**. 

Nobody knows what happens tomorrow. Bitcoin could absolutely pull back again.

But here’s what I keep asking people:

If you wouldn’t buy at $65,000…

and you wouldn’t buy at $75,000…

and you wouldn’t buy at $80,000…

**What price are you waiting for?**

$100,000?

A new all-time high?

I believe Bitcoin eventually reaches **$1 million**. That’s my prediction, not a guarantee.

But if I’m right, the difference between $75,000 and $86,000 may someday look very small.

There will only ever be **21 million Bitcoin.**

**You can keep waiting. Bitcoin won’t.**

**My view hasn’t changed: think long, act early. — Prakash**
