Meanwhile, Tomas Lee, the head of research in Fundstrat Global Advisors, sticks to the optimistic forecasts that have earned him a reputation of one of the most outspoken bulls on Wall Street. He believes that Bitcoin will reach $25,000 by the end of the year, which is more than 270% above current levels. He bases his outlook on the fact that Bitcoin usually trades at 2.5 time its mining costs, which will reach $9,000 by year-end.
