This article will look at BitTorrent price prediction for 2022 and 2025. We will also look at its recent fundamentals and how it will impact its prices in the future.
Chances are you have heard of BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol used to transfer large files over the internet. The platform was launched in 2001 by its founder Bram Cohen, years before Bitcoin was created. The platform is also the main reason why BitTorrent Token was created. The token’s primary purpose was to serve the BitTorrent token tracker, the largest in the world.
The story of BitTorrent Token starts with the purchase of the BitTorrent platform during the summer of 2018 by Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Foundation. The platform was acquired for $140 million, and the acquisition marked the first phase of an initiative known as Project Atlas.
Project Atlas’s main objectives included introducing mechanisms to motivate users of the torrent tracker to stay in the BitTorrent system for as long as possible to increase the download and upload speeds in the platform. They also aimed at creating paid file storage services, where users could permanently store their files in HDD or SSD memories. There was also a plan to introduce a service that would allow the selling and buying of content through the torrent tracker.
The BitTorrent Token was launched in January 2019 by BitTorrent Inc as a Tron TRC-10 cryptocurrency. The massive userbase of BitTorrent gave the cryptocurrency a leg-up during the launch. As a result, the BTT network could amass millions of users within a very short time. The Token was also used to pay users who kept their torrents and files seeding to encourage them to continue keeping their files on BitTorrent. In return, the BitTorrent platform speeds improved as more users started to seed their files.
BitTorrent prices have traded below a dollar cent since the cryptocurrency was launched. However, cryptocurrency has made significant gains in the past few years, with 2021 seeing a return on investment of over 500 percent by the end of the year. The table below shows the BitTorrent milestone in the past few years.
Date | Milestone | Price |
Apr 05, 2021 | All-Time High | $0.01426 |
Mar 13, 2020 | All-Time Low | $0.00013 |
52 Week Low | 52 Week Low | $0.0009599 |
52 Week High | 52 Week High | $0.01426 |
In an announcement on Twitter last Nov 03 2021, BitTorrent indicated that their roadmap included giving their users access to their BitTorrent chain (#BTTC) by the end of the year.
The plan also included officially launching the BitTorrent File System (BTFS) in 2022, a scalable decentralized file system in the networks. There were also talks of introducing a decentralized governance feature on BTFS in quarter two of 2022. This plan is still in motion, and by its looks, BitTorrent users should expect the launch of the BTFS governance token by the end of the year.
BitTorrent was already a huge platform before getting into the cryptocurrency industry. Therefore, it already had a lot of applications and adoption. However, its entrance to the cryptocurrency industry seems to have given the cryptocurrency even more power and usability among many platforms.
Some of its adoptions now include the original BitTorrent client that allows content creators to connect with their audience and earn and spend digital currency without middlemen. There is also the uTorrent client, which is software used for P2P file transfers. The ecosystem has also expanded to BitTorrent speed, which allows sharing of the cryptocurrency token, and BitTorrent File System (BTFS), which is termed as a decentralized storage system. Platforms such as DLive and TronTv have also adopted the BitTorrent network for their live streaming needs.
BitTorrent is still trading at below a dollar cent, with today’s trading session prices opening at $0.002. However, there is enough data on the BitTorrent daily chart to predict the BitTorrent price using technical analysis. My analysis will heavily rely on the previous year’s return on investments and BitTorrent’s past price action.
I expect BitTorrent prices to trade within the $0.00014 support and $0.0094 resistance levels. Based on last year’s return on investment of BitTorrent, I expect this year to have a bullish lean and prices to hit the $0.0094 resistance level by the end of the year. This will be a 440 return on investment based on the current prices, a price close to the return on investment during the trading period of 2021, where the prices rose by 500 percent. I also expect the prices to trade within the blue area, as shown below on the BitTorrent daily chart.
My BitTorrent price prediction for 2025 is aggressively bullish, and I expect the prices to be trading at around $0.3 by 2025. This analysis is based on previous years’ price action, where BitTorrent has shown a growth of 500 percent per year in 2021 and a predicted 430 percent annual growth in 2022. My 2025 BitTorrent price prediction of $0.3 follows the same annual growth of 500 percent per year.
Based on my 2022 and 2025 BitTorrent price prediction, BitTorrent will have a return on investment of between 400 to 500 between now and 2025. This is significantly higher than the less than 20 percent annual growth rate most traditional financial institutions offer their clients. Therefore, based on these analyses, BitTorrent is a perfect investment for long-term traders.
