David Bailey predicts that Bitcoin will not experience any further bear markets and believes prices will continue to rise.
Ryan McMillin says that, like Gold Post, which launched ETFs in the early 2000s, there may be no bear market.
Several industry experts look forward to the continued or future bear market for Bitcoin.
David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and adviser to US President Donald Trump, predicted that Bitcoin would not experience any more bear markets. He believes prices will continue to rise significantly as system adoption grows.
Contrary to Bailey’s view, some industry experts look forward to a continuing or future bear market for Bitcoin.
In a recent post on X, Bailey’s statement suggested that an increase in agency involvement would raise the price of Bitcoin and prevent future extended bear markets. He also said that institutions like sovereign states, banks and insurance companies ultimately held Bitcoin, and their adoption process has already begun.
He writes: “For several years there will be no separate Bitcoin Bear Market. All sovereignty, banks, insurance companies, businesses, pensions and more will own Bitcoin. The process has already begun in earnest, but it has not captured 0.01% of TAM.”
Bear Market Ends with Bitcoin
Another expert who believes in the end of BTC’s bare market is Ryan McMillin, co-founder and chief investment officer of Merkle Tree Capital. He said Cointelegraph “There may not be a bare market. “It’s similar to the Gold Post of ETF launches in the early 2000s, as assets have been financed and only increased for eight years.”
He also said that the bull market would precede the bear market, so without the bull market, the bear market could not exist. McMillin said, “If this structure lasts, there is no bare market. There are regular modifications. This is a great buying opportunity.”
Experts predicting the bear market for BTC
Bailey expects the era of Bitcoin’s bear market will end, but several experts, including LEDN CIO John Glover, have predicted the bear market. In early August, Glover, known for his application of Elliott Wave theory, predicted that BTC would reach $140,000 by the end of 2025, but was hoping for a bear market following that rally in 2026.
Kadan Stadelmann, CTO at Komodo Platform, said it was time to buy BTC for six months before BTC returned to the bare market. He said, “If we follow history, we expect the peak in the first quarter of 2026 and the bear market that follows.”
Some other experts also suggest that the risk of bearishness remains in Bitcoin.
