Title: [2017-11-17] Bitcoin Hits $8,000 as the Segwit2x Hard-Fork Fails Post by: Jgilpulg on November 17, 2017, 07:18:07 PM The consequences of the Segwit2x hard-fork failure are yet to be known.

The author insinuates causalities that are not correct, or are simple correlations:
- The $8000+ peak was reached last night, long before the 2x fork was scheduled - so it's not a consequence of the failed fork. - The $7900 high on November 12 was reached after and not before the Segwit2x cancellation was known, so it very likely was a direct reaction (optimism because of less uncertainty) to it. The drop to $5500 came later, it was most likely the result of "swing trading" speculation where some whales - most likely big blockers - exchanged BTC to BCH and then converted them back to BTC after the BCH peak.

This is very amazing and we have 1 and half month before this year ends so if btc reached $10k this year so we are looking for $20k or possibly $50-$100k next year.
