Billionaire hedge fund legend and former Fortress executive Mike Novogratz believes the bitcoin price will “easily reach” $40,000 by 2018.what do you think?

I don't think but I hope that will become true. If it becomes I am going to upgrade to a new house lol and I am not kidding, just 2.5 bitcoins with that price will give me a new better house than the one I am actually living in. In my opinion I think that bitcoin price can vary during 2018 from 15.000 dollars up to 25.000 dollars but I hope I am wrong in the upper side prediction. It looks like we are going to have a very nice holidays during the end of this year.

When somebody makes such statements,he has to provide some arguments and proofs about his theories.
Bitcoin price increased 10 times during 2017.From around 1000 USD back in January to close to 10K USD now.
Based on this trend,i can predict that bitcoin price could increase 10 times during 2018.From 10K to 100K USD.I might be right or i might be wrong.We don`t know how the central banks and governments will react to the growing bitcoin market.

Nahhh... I'd love to see it, but I think the market needs to cool down first. Reaching USD 10,000,- as soon as 2017 was already beyond my wildest expectations, I can't imagine the market keeping up like this. I'm really bullish, but I just can't.

I hope 2018 will be mostly sideways action, with a slight upwards trend. I fear we might enter a bear market soon. Either way, my guess for when BTC will reach USD 40,000,- will be 2021 the soonest, ie. after the halving of 2020.

Eventually it is going to reach 40k no doubt, but in 2018? It's possible but with all the new money thats been coming in this year bitcoin will need a lot of new users for it to reach such a high market cap. Nonetheless I wouldn't be surprised if it hit 50k or even a 100k in the next few years. If there is anything I've learned it's that bitcoin is far from predictable.

everything is possible in the bitcoin world , bitcoin price in 2018 can reach 40000 znd can go down.

there have possibility $40,000 reach in 2018 I think this price prediction hit in the month of September 2018 and this scenario people have confident to save more bitcoin to become profitable at that time.

Well, some things are possible and $40,000 is possible too but not sure it would reached in year 2018, just like how it was increased from $1 to $10,000 now after few years and not just in one year.

It's going to need an awful lot of good news from now to then to get anywhere near it, that's over half a trillion dollars.

We do not think about it but i will sure that bitcoin will reach in $20,000k after this year .and im hoping for the bitcoin price we said are truely come some day.

There is potential that bitcoin will go up to that value by 2018. As long more investors will come in and more businesses to advertise definitely more transactions to make and make a profit

My opinion is we will see 20K usd this year.... Yes in 2017... CME is coming and that means Billions of Dollar will flood the crypto market. it will Skyrocket like a hyped Altcoin.

Either that ... Or a holy mother of all cows krach within the conventional financing system.  ;D
Ever heard of bail ins ?

When this happens ... I can't even imagine. :)
What if the 1929 krach would happen nowadays ? And what consequences on bitcoin ?

we today reach a new maximum Bitcoin, which was mentioned earlier, and therefore new new forecasts are beginning to sound. Of course I think that no one is against seeing Bitcoin for $ 40,000. That's just what you'll be to me next year, And that's for sure.

My real target is $150,000 but I don't know when. 2018 is not a suitable year to get those price mentioned by you. We already made more than 10x in 2017 and 2018 may be a bitt more calmed down.

x10 in 2017 x15 in 2018 mark my words. Bitcoin is still hard undervualuad. Just compare to a real life company.

People can speculate as much as they want, but this market doesn't care about anything. No one knows what will happen from here, and a billionaire confidently speaking out doesn't change anything in that regard. At this point even traders playing this market in previous times are struggling with how unpredictable everything now is. It's safe to say that we can only sit back and watch how this market either goes up further when it breaks through the $10,000 level, or it directly comes down an correct from there. Lower probability of happening is that the USD markets won't be able to break through the $10,000 level, and we fall back as result.

This is ridiculous, how come he thinks that it will going to rise that high before the year ends? I wanted to know what is his basis for this because this is too fast than i expected if this is going to be real. Well, i'm not telling that i don't like it but i guess he knows something that we didn't know if he could talk like that. And i wanted that something to be told to us bitcoiners because i'm sure those hodlers will be an instant millionaire if is going to happen.

Yeap. I think at the mid or end of 2018 bitcoin will reach $40k or $60k. We cannot say anything at future but BTC will increasing 5-10% day by day.

It is difficult to know in one hand I'm thinking that maintaining this kind of growth for another year or two is going to be impossible and that makes me a little bit bearish for the next year but at the same time, it seems a lot of new investors want to put a lot of money in bitcoin and if this is correct reaching a price like that may be possible in the near future, so I do not know what to think.

I think it is still cheap.

He's a billionaire and every words he say can affect the market of what he's supporting. It's obvious that he's supporting bitcoin and he is encouraging other billionaires to invest with it.

We can't tell if that can happen next year but who doesn't like it to happen? All of us will be glad if that will be for real.



What price are you thinking? That will be cheap if you are thinking for $500,000.

At the end of 2018.

Yes. That is a fair price rather than what other are predicting that it will go to like $100,000 which is too much just to think about.

But this predictions that we are making, do we really like it?
Will it not endanger the bitcoin technology to the brink of death?

Well look at that, somebody made a more sensible number on how much it could be for the next year rather than those who wants it beyond the moon.
I would very much agree to this number. I see a lot of room for bitcoin to grow specially when it is still young.
I do regret selling some of it but from now on I would be very much please to keep it whatever happens. Down or not it showed it can make a move upwards easily.

The increase in the price of bitcoin has been so accelerated since the big investment funds have set their eyes on it, that I do not think that possibility is unreasonable. While it is true that we should not engage in excessive optimism, it is important to take into account that the growth of the crypto market is only at an early stage, so the growth potential of cryptos, including bitcoin, is really great, so even the prognosis that sees bitcoin at $100,000 in a couple of years does not seem exaggerated.

Let's be realistic and speculate based on numbers and the market situation and $40000 is not cheap it will be beyond anyone's imagination and indeed achievable if we do not come across any new aexes from so called regulatory or bankers to stop the growth of bitcoin.

I just watched that interview and he seem to be determined on saying that. There's nothing to lose if I'm going to believe what he says, I'm even believing McAfee for saying that bitcoin will reach $500,000 so $40,000 isn't that much and not too far from the current price.

Wow, you must be a rich guy. I find that price to be very expensive.

I think that maybe bitcoin could find its level around 10-15k for a little while but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Of course however I could be wrong and we could see 40k or even beyond in the next year. Assuming growth will slow slightly and removing things we had this year such as a halving I think 40k is about the upper limit for 2018.

BTC just blew thorugh upper resistance line on log scale guys.
Novogratz is not crazy.

I'm sure that it will reach 36k this year.

It's not impossible as Bitcoin have only limited to 21 million coins. It will be an exaggeration for the price going up as no new supply will come up. Day by day people learns about bitcoin and when they've understand what it is, they will find ways to buy and use it. I'ts just a matter of time now until we see Bitcoin reach $40k, especially it's demand is greater ever than before.

Wow today we Hit 11k it seems like we will hit 15k by this weekend.
What a great time for Bitcoin. And we still have much room for growing Marketcao still very very low
in compare to companys like amazon or google

$40k should be doable in 2018 but only if we continue on the current growth path resulting in a major blow off top. Perhaps not the nicest thing to happen (there will be a 1-2 year bear market after that) but that's the way these things go.

Just hold on to your hats.

LOL40k USD in 2018??? You mean in march 2018 and on the end of the year 100k USD.
guys this is just the take off. It is like the internet in 1997...

Anything is possible in this bitcoin world. But not sure if price climb up so fast can survive for long or not.

I don't trust him to be honest. He is in Bitcoin and Ethereum for quite some time now.
So don't get blinded by the last statement of him where he said he bought $15-$20million during the last dip at 5400.
Probably just tries to push the price a little further before he starts dumping his coins straight in your face.
$40k in 13 months easily??? Come on! I mean I'm pretty bullish on Bitcoin, especially long term. But that is insane imo and just hyping to get more dumb and greedy money in to raise his own and his clients returns/profits.
We are dealing with sharks here! Never forget that!

If CME enters this market, then we have the highest possible chances of at least coming close to such levels. Without them it will be quite difficult. There will be a moment this market reaches a point where there is no room for (short term) growth anymore, and that's when things will start to come down again, and perhaps even result in a mild bear market as you pointed out. People should be prepared for that, and not see it as something negative. No matter how much we might end up going down, we'll always maintain levels far higher than what we started with before this bull run. Holding has pretty much been the best option to go for instead of trading, and will likely remain so for the next couple of months. The fairly predictable pre-bull run market is gone for now.

I don't have any thoughts of trusting him or not. But what he is in our favor, it impacts to all holders that wants bag down a big profit. He's intentions is beneficial to all of us though he's the one that will benefit it most. $10,000 - $40,000 actually price now is very good and stable.

Could be possible but i think that he is also caught in the hype, a bit.

$40000 is actually a much less steep rise in 1 year compared to what happened this year which is actually around a 10 times rise. $10k to $40k is only quadrupling the current price, not difficult at all if you think about it.

But then, how long will this go for before a correction comes down? I don't feel like it's going to be long.

So the price of bitcoin will increase to $40,000 in 1 year ? Nope, i think it won't happen, the chance is small to happen. I mean, even on this stage $10,000 i already afraid that the bitcoin price will crash anytime soon, not in this month but in the early of next year. Some says there will be a correction too.

Not a bad prediction to make, and much more realistic than John McAfee's prediction of $500k by 2020. But i wouldn't put my money on it if it was a 50/50 bet. Most likely thing t ohappen is probably price staying put or dropping a bit down below $10000.

Though we all know how quickly bitcoin can rise, and there is every means possible for $40000 or even $50000 to be reached before the bubble bursts.

That's why it's important to always keep some BTC stashed away somewhere, to take advantage of bull markets.

Is there anything to think again right now? I stopped thinking the moment bitcoin's value hit $10000 before the end of November just when we were expecting it to hit before December and a whole lot of us even doubted it at the beginning of this year. Now we have bitcoin above $11000, and to me, I would rather just keep looking at the charts to see the wonders that are upcoming before the end of this year and 2018. As far as I am concerned, anything is possible.

I wouldn't surprised if bitcoin hits 50k USD in 2018. I believe 2018 will be HUGE for crypto in general and market cap of all cryptos. We might even get a new better "ether" or sthg.

Honestly, yes, $40k in 2018 is completely possible. I wouldn't be terribly shocked to see Bitcoin above even $50k next year. I think there is a good chance we're gonna hit $100k in the next two years.


We hit $7k 4 weeks ago. Hit $8k what like 10 days ago? Hit $9k just a few days ago. Hit $10k last night. Hit $11k today (above it already globally, USD markets working on break through it now).

So yeah taking off another $9k up to $20k in the next few months is very possible, and after that, only doubling the price the rest of 2018 almost seems too easy! I'm holding out a small space in my mind for the possibility that Bitcoin could even get close to $100k in 2018.

It was actually beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
No one believed it could even happen sooner and so many of us expected that we may just get close to it before the year runs out.

I expect there would be some corrections very soon and just as you have said, nothing much may happen that much in 2018, but I would definitely leave some doors opened for surprises. If some news ends up as expected, sideways or huge corrections would be the last thing we will see on the charts.

Even accounting for surprises (as far as you can account for them) Bitcoin rarely reacts to news the way you expect it to react. The longer I watch Bitcoin, the more I realize how little I understand the market. I think I've become fairly good at guesstimating short- to mid-term bottoms (or at least I got lucky) but Bitcoin's chase for ever new ATHs will always remain a mystery to me. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Best rollercoaster ticket ever.

Bitcoin is really strange reacts to different news. It is impossible to predict its behavior. I think that next year my word should be said trade. If the major Internet sites start to accept bitcoin then it will definitely affect the price of bitcoin and we can see this rise of prices which has never been seen. I have high hopes for next year.

I see many threads similar to this thread, in which bitcoin price will reach $30,000 in 2018 I think this ability is higher. But anything can happen, you can be right.

Don't know about reaching 40000$ but i can say that with the rate it is increasing day by day i can assure that everyone is going to be enjoying this end of the year on Christmas and new year with the profit they would have earned . Also, the next year is going to be more exciting and more spectacular for the people earning in bitcoin. And i hope that price reach 40000$ by the next year i could save for a new car which i will buy for my father. ;D :D

We cannot say much yet right now, but in the absence of any FUD and just some little corrections and at the rate bitcoin is going, I would say anything can happen.

I remember when a whole lot of us disagreed early this year when speculation of hitting $15,000 by 2018 was going on.
I guess I was one of the first to dispute something like that happening. I guess I ended up wrong anyway. New cash is going to end up flowing in and we should expect some craziness in the coming month.

Yah, we don't know what will be the future value of bitcoin, because as you can see thr value of this coin is continue fluctuating in the market as of today.  Hence, I believe that bitcoin price was continuosly grow and grow until 2018 and I would say anything can happen next year.

I think it can reach 80k between february and may.

I would think that is kind of difficult, however the possibility is there, but I think we may get closer to 20k or 25k that seems a more conservative estimate, however I would not mind if bitcoin skyrocketed to that huge amount in the next year since I will get great economic benefits if that happened.

I believe that this could happen, because the one who made the prediction of bitcoin to reach such a value revealed it on a TV show. He(Novogratz)  has made the price predictions precisely and the same has taken place in the past with our bitcoin. Hope this time too the prediction go accurate reaching the quoted value.

FUD is not working anymore, The Chinese tried and they crashed the market for only three days, that is nothing if even one of the most powerful countries of the world cannot suppress the price for nothing more than a few days then that means that bitcoin is unstoppable.

it's very high price expectation in 2018 for bitcoin, but ofcourse everyone is wishing that to happen but i think it will not reach to $40,000 this 2018, maybe by 2019 to 2020 is possible. This is just my opinion maybe im wrong because I'm also hoping for that price in 2018.

Why very high for 2018 dude? BTC made 11x in 2017. If it only makes 4x, we pass $40,000 price clearly. This is not a high price expectation for me.

The possibility of this is very high in bitcoin.

Very bold prediction, but possible in my opinion. In February some people wrote about +10000 dollars per one bitcoin until the end of the year? Who believed in that, I thought price will go high but not so high to be honest. Price is 11000 dollars and price didn't stop rising, good news are still coming, adoption is taking a swing and if next year can be better then this year then price can reach 40000 dollars, I believe in that. This year price is already on x11, what is x 4 next year. That is possible in my opinion, I'm here long enough to know that bitcoin is capable for that.

it is hard and near to be impossible we take about 30k$ in one year only .

best price will be 25,000$ by the end of 2018

But I was not sure.If the price of bitcoin is raise as like this year means, it may reach the maximum value of 25000$. But 40k is very high speculation I think.Every thing is possible in bitcoin, if the number of Investor as compared to Now is doubled means ,I am dam sure 40000$ is very easy for the bitcoin to claim.

I think no, a huge price of bitcoin is depends on the volume but there is a time that bitcoin fall. Because of being beneficial of bitcoin to the user it has a side that will cause of decreasing or crashing the bitcoin. Now, bitcoin has many challenges that need to solve like using this in illegal transaction, if this will happen maybe the bitcoin will not continue in their goal.

I think Bitcoin Bubble can burst also, making a decline inits user base. Also, if some country impose a ban then also its price can be affected so making such a guess at such an early age is just baseless.

Only if you think there is a bubble.

A ban like in China you mean? No country that's more into Bitcoin (or anywhere near as much) than China is gonna ban it. We're not 3 months on since China's ban and well over double the price. Nothing is going to stop Bitcoin now.

I do not use your statement as my reference, so there is no remorse for me
but, at least if it really happened, it might be like rain money

People are not expecting about reaches to 10k$ in this December so i think 20k$ in the next year is totally possible.

Yes I have heard that some Bitcoin fans do really consider that 2018 will be the best year of BTC and it will cost over $40,000. I do not think its price will be so high, but it will cost over $15,000.

My guess is that if every thing goes as planned (especially with the CME listing), then Bitcoin has the potential to touch levels of $40,000 to $50,000 per coin during the next 3-4 months. Derivative trading almost always result in astronomically higher prices. This is true with commodities, as well as with digital assets.

Well, there is nothing much Government or Central Bank can do at this stage than to just accept the fact that the craziness of the crypto world has begun.

You think they themselves have not seen this coming even though they tried all their best to see how it can be stopped. This is globally unstoppable and whatever happens at the end, they will just end up finding a way to regulate it. 10K to 100K though, that is a huge one.

well, the price is too high. maybe bitcoin could add $ 10k in one year. but being $ 40000 in a year, I think it will be very difficult. but it is possible if many people support bitcoin

I don't think that Bitcoin's market value will leap or jump from 10000 upto 40000 USD i  just a year. It would surely be difficult for Bitcoin's price to increase that much knowing that it is vokatile and its market value changes a lot. Also, we don't know what might happen including the problems that bitcoin will face in the future or next year. Maybe, a value of 18000 uSD is way more possible next year.

It's already reached $11500 right at this moment but I agree with you about bitcoin's reaching the $20k level or a bit highier than the $40k next year. If there is non stop uptrends or bullrun of bitcoin price next year it can reach the $40k level later at the end of next year, but that not possible, there is always corrections ahead.

We witness how bitcoin pumped so hard this year and if this continue to happen then its not impossible to see that level, many people are now starting to learn about this investment, lucky for us who able to got in first as we can now enjoy the fruit of our success.

Yes still possible can be happen in 2018, in 2018 more investors try to invest in bitcoin, because of that the demand and price is up.
if we can share to other people about benefit of bitcoin, they can try to invest on bitcoin.

I am sure that 2k18 will be more luckier than 2k17 and there will be more progress coming in this year maybe many regions will join the race as well and maybe china will hold the ban and the bitcoin get started in there again all this is expected but I am sure that after the mid of 2k18 there will be high pump in the prices and that will take the market rate to above 40k and the profit will be mind blowing at that time.

That is extremely hard to happen even in a few years. The price cant go up without having any fall because it would become unstoppable and the price will go up until bitcoin would crush. If it increased 5x in 2017 that doesn't mean it is going to increase again 5x in 2018. I think it is going to fall under 10.000$ at the beginning of new year and then it will slowly increase till 15.000$.
It is probably going to reach 40.000$ sometime after 2020 but right now that is not so easy to accomplish as Mike Novogratz says.

Except that it has gone up almost 12x in 2017. If it hits just over 13x by the end of this year, then it would only need to do 3x next year to hit $40k (and I'd say 3x is VERY doable). That's wayyyy different than you saying the same percentage increase for both years. According to your argument you are just saying it can't go to $150k+ next year, so yes I agree with you there.

You think it will only be $15k in 2018 haha. I can't wait to see your surprise when it passes that likely next month.

It depends on the demand on the market if they a lot of buyer of bitcoin possible they reach that and if the population of the bitcoij user and investor will become double or triple . But for me the highest price of the bitcoin in the year 2018 will be 15k or 20k dollars only. Brcause it's hard to double the price what if the price of 40k dollars maybe after few years. But everything is possible to happen.

It's indeed lucky if we look at the timing, but there are enough people who were already aware of Bitcoin, but never took the effort to buy for whatever reason. It for a large part comes down to understanding what Bitcoin can be for people, and then I'm mainly referring to the fact that it allows us to operate outside the curret broken system. If the average person that's now purely focusing on booking short term gains with Bitcoin, at some point uses Bitcoin as long term store of value, this market will maintain $100k levels without much effort, and especially with institutions providing liquidity as well.

That is 4times the price now, I don’t think that’s is possible in the year 2018 because we don’t even have no clue what are the big events that might affect the bitcoin pricing next year. That is either good or bad that either increase or decrease or even stop its bullish run coming from this year. I can give numbers but 25000$ to 30000$ is much more attainable.

But Bitcoin price rose 10 times in 2017. So 4 times rise in price is not something impossible. I think there is a high probability that price rise to much more than 40000 dollar. What will happen in 2018 is really unpredictable and every thing is possible.

if that's the case then i'm gladly more to be happy. i'm a bitcoin trader since 2014. let's celebrate the era of crptoverse nation. i hope 1 btc will reach at 1million usd and i will buy more real estate properties.

Truth, there were a lot of people forecasting $5,000 until December and when the Chinese drama hit, a lot of people said it was the end of bitcoin... never take people's comments as if it were true absolute... we always have to analyze things with our own mind.



This is a very realistic forecast compared to the forecasts that many analysts make on a daily basis.

Nope, I think that is an illusion of the people who wants to earn high amount of money. I think you believe to the fantasy of your mind not to the reality, because even how fast bitcoin value raise in crypto community I guess they can't reach it into small period of time. 1 year is not to achieve that value.

I get what you mean and that is true. But we should also look for the price in 2017 it’s 2000$ from we’re i start investing. And it is now at 11500$ so your reasoning is valid. But those have invested in 2000$ will not the same capacity to invest in 11000$. The high the price, the lesser investor but I don’t know if I’m wrong so this is just my opinion. 2017 has different scenario than this coming 2018 when it comes to price.

Lets just stay calm and speculate before hypothesizing things it wont probably go that far in this year of 2017 although it might get half of that. But i do hope so that it will reach that far.

Well we dont know yet what will gonna happen in year 2018. But there is always the chance it may hit the target to that price. Bitcoin is really spreading its awareness in any country now and being notice by many so I also do hope it will going high next year.

Price has been expected to reach $40000, and this is predicted by expertise people who have been a large scale investors into the cryptocurrency network. Hope, this will tend to grow further more as what we are now is quite low compared to the entire sum of fiat that's been used around.

I think 20k$ is a good target, 40k$ is really too overrated Bitcoin. Bubble never is a good ideal for Bitcoin, it will make investors lose their trusts.

uhhh it could seriously hit $20k in like April, that is if it doesn't grow too fast. April would be reasonable growth to get to $20k, that's 5 months to not even double, that'd be a significant slow down from current growth.

i believe bitcoin can break any big number and will break 40,000$.

will be in 2018 it’s hard but may happen

He has a strong point and bitcoin's market value could ever go beyond his speculations. Imagine if bitcoin will continue to rise more than 2k USD per month, then we can have 50K before the year 2018 ends.

As long as there is fresh money flowing into this market, and people are willing to buy themselves into the market at any possible price, then it will happen. However, people due to the recent increase think that this market will only go up in value, and when the market does happen to correct significantly at whatever time, people will get the shock of their life when they see how the market gets sold down. One way or another, the correction will happen, the only question that matters but people have no answer to, is when it is going to happen. But then again, corrections are only of short term, so depending on how the market keeps performing, we might not suffer for long. People are desperately looking for a discount these days.

it seems to me that this is the most likely scenario for the development of events in 2018. Bitcoin no one can withhold. It is accepted in all countries. This means that the world recognized this currency.

If he's a bitcoin believer he wants to make more people involve in bitcoin by telling such predictions. But isn't he the one that predicted bitcoin will be $10,000 this year? If bitcoin will easily reach $40,000 on 2018 that is a good news for all the holders out there. And there are chances that $40,000 can be passed if things are working positively to bitcoin next year.

40k is incredible, I do not know if it is going to be reached but I will not be mad if that happened, but if you were to ask me I would like for bitcoin to retain its current price for some time, the growth has been too fast and while I have invested all the money that I can afford in it I'm still not comfortable with my amount of bitcoin I have and if the price keeps growing my current holdings are going to become more valuable but it is going to be more difficult to get more bitcoin.

I think $50k is likely next year. $50k is my main prediction target for 2018. I think Bitcoin can definitely average close to $3000 gains per month which would bring it right to $50k in a year.

Don't you think its very high expectations from bitcoins in a very quick time as I don't think that huge price is possible to achieve in next year and we should give at least 2 to 3 years time to bitcoin to reach to that price but as we know that anything is possible with bitcoins and it would be great to see if it achieves that price in next year.

Going off this year, and how things are only speeding up! No i don't think it is high expectations. It might not hit $50k, but I kind of feel like $50k might be too low a prediction! Bitcoin has only been going crazy since May, in just over 7 months it's gone from $1400 to $13,400 for a 9.5x increase in just over 7 months. And you're telling me it can't do another less the 4x increase in ~13 months? No I think that is well within the realm of what is possible for bitcoin next year.

He certainly grows fast, but I do not think so much and that in 2018 he will cost 50,000 worth it looks like some kind of fantasy

I predict 50k$ in 2018. The hype is just too hyped :)

I think Bitcoin price will be $70.000 end of 2018.

Bitcoin price increased % 484.45 in 6 months.


If Bitcoin even just increase % 484.45 in 12 months...

Price will be $72000...

Chances are there but when it will reach it is not possible to predict because lot hyip is circulating around the globe with Bitcoin price. When any banks saying Bitcoin is fraud then the price of Bitcoin is increasing. First of all government should understand the potential in it before the price increases.

If you made a poll at the beginning of the year of how many years bitcoin will need in order to reach 19k and I'm sure that almost no one will answer that bitcoin will reach that amount of money in less than a year and yet that was exactly what happened so I do not see why 50k is such a high prediction, now I do not think we are going to reach that price either but it is a possibility we cannot discard.

I think more than 40 k is possible.
I absolutely sure bitcoin price will up in 2018.

I also believe bitcoin will reach $40,000 but nothing is absolutely sure. Now time confirmation of Bitcoin is a big problem, it takes too much time.

I think Bitcoin will get a big retrace down to 5k USD and many people which jump too late on the train will get broke. Just look why the most are here, just to speculate, only the old Users are using BTC to pay and use as payment, all others are crying because of high fees and stucking transactions.

Also many people will loose much BTC in the Mempool. There are too much stucking with low paid fees, this Bitcoins will stay forever into the pool because no Minder will be intrested in taking them with a low fee.

This has been predicted by lot users who have got a good understanding about the market. $40000 seems high, but when we calculate the growth it has attained $40000 is easily achievable. I believe that the price will reach $40000 before the end of the upcoming year.

The option is that he will be able to achieve this, but at any time such growth may stop, which apparently will not happen

Predicted by whom? That price is so huge and needed more people support to reach for that numbers, But we never actually knew on what will happen on it since their so many speculation,fuds,hypes or anything can be implant on bitcoins ecosystem by that year comes. And let's just put our trust on the bitcoins system since we all know we might gonna see some major huge changes.

I don't doubt this prediction even if it's true or not. Because, like last year bitcoin predicted to pass $10K, many people doubt it but eventually it goes even further. So also with value of $40K, I do not doubt it.
