Survey on the website Finder.com he reflected the confidence of the fintech and #crypto industry participants that this year the price of #bitcoin (BTC) will peak at $81,680, and then by the end of the year it will fall to $65,185. CEO of the Morpher trading platform Martin Freler, who gave one of the most optimistic forecasts for the end of the year for BTC commented on his position: "Political uncertainty, inflation and the ever-growing desire to own assets not controlled by the state will raise bitcoin to new historical highs." Offering a more cautious forecast, Asher Tan, CEO of the cryptocurrency trading application CoinJar, put forward a version that BTC will reach a peak of $60,000 this year. "There is a lot of uncertainty regarding bitcoin's short-term prospects. Given the macroeconomic obstacles, I would not be surprised if I see that bitcoin will fluctuate between 30-60 thousand dollars for a whole year. Such conditions are terrible for traders, but useful for hodlers," Tan said. It is noteworthy that half of the participants in the Finder panel, consisting of 35 industry experts, said that, in their opinion, eventually bitcoin will yield in popularity to another coin. Associate professor of decentralized finance at the University of Nottingham Trent Jeremy Chea was among those who think that the days of bitcoin as a leading cryptocurrency are numbered. This will happen because the #coin "consumes too much energy and suffers from interoperability and scalability issues." 32% of the panelists expressed the opinion that #BTC should move from a more energy-intensive proof-of-work (#PoW) model to a proof-of-stake (#PoS) model. And only 9% said they believe that BTC will really make such a move.
