Mr. Tom Lee, the Crypto currency expert who has had accurate predictions about Bitcoin and Altcoin, said that Bitcoin still has the potential to rise by the end of this year, which is around 15k USD, is that true because I haven't seen a good improvement in crypto currency

You can see what Mr. Tom Lee said in the following
https://cointelegraph.com/news/tom-lee-maintains-15-000-year-end-btc-prediction-despite-market-crash/amp

Maybe this were just only a prediction but Mr. Tom Lee already have a great track record on predict about the price of Bitcoin

It's possible but unlikely IMO. Just because someone predicted something right in the past doesn't mean they'll be right again.

Even Satoshi said the price of BTC will go upto 40k in 2018, but what we are seeing now? These guys just want to twist public and investors mind. The market is worst of all time in the last quarter and we have only 35days left for the end of the year. I don't understand how these peoples are giving predictions, still anything can happen over a night. Let's see that too.

somehow i think the whole predictions can not be right. i see no sign that it can happen this year. i just do not expect anything and should it happen that the prices rise, i am looking forward anyway.

As I said earlier that this is a prediction, everyone is certainly free to predict, it's just because Mr. Tom Lee has a good track record in predicting, at least this can help us to keep positive thinking, and 1 thing Satoshi Nakamoto has never talked about previous predictions that we know he is only the creator of Blockchain technology and Bitcoin, and until now Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't prove it personally

The cryptocurrency market is so unpredictable that even within an hour the price of both bitcoin and any other currency can rise to the moon or fall below zero. How can you make predictions if you can't influence it? But there are a lot of people in the world who can buy a lot of bitcoins at any time, pour billions of dollars into the market, increase its capitalization and become the king of cryptocurrency. And this option is possible at any moment. So before you dream about the moon you need to at least understand the process of the market and its mechanisms.

I had to read the article because I thought it was a joke. Unless Tom Lee himself is planning to buy all the necessary bitcoins until the price reaches 15000 dollars I don't see how his prediction can come true.

Everything happens then - when no one is waiting. Perhaps this possibility exists because many have already lost hope of growth.

I believe in his words and I am pretty sure, that BTC does not need a year to reach the prices of January 2018. As soon as the big guys would start investing in the crypto market, it would be a matter of several days to go even higher.

Well Tom Lee is a great crypto analyst and He always have a data for his prediction but with this situation and the current price which is very low , l think $15000 is too much and in my own calculation is up to $9000 only .

This will be a good FOMO for market in this situation. Everyone here also expects that. But, do you think it easily raises from $ 4k to $ 15k in one month?  :-\ I don't think so.

In crypto anything is possible, just like we have a fall unexpectedly, we can also have a rise unexpectedly. In crypto just expect anything.Let's wait and see.

I don't believe in his prediction. At first he predicted Bitcoin would be more than $30000 at the end of this year and now $15000. Everybody can say a price and change it at the last time.
He is just trying to hype the Bitcoin, but it doesn't seem to work. I would be happy if his prediction became true, but i don't really believe it.

Lesson from crypto over the time has taught us that in crypto anything can happen.If he has predicted 15k,nothing is impossible,but it may not come that easy.

Really? I don't think Bitcoin can reach over 15K after 1 month, this is incredible if it reaches it, this is not the first time I hear that in this year, but this is the better price to invest it if you have not invested it, if you invested it before, don't dump the coin, it sure will be rise in the future.

To be honest no one knows what will happen in the end of the year, I recommend not to see the market now as the value of coins are so funny. These guys give prediction like the value may go higher, still anything can happen let's wait for few more days.

I really don't believe that prediction. In one month it will be simply impossible to dial such figure. All year he fell in price and then he will grow? Utter nonsense! I'll wait for next year.

Tom Lee is just sticking to what he said before and doesn't want to change it. otherwise i think even he knows that $15k is not a possibility anymore. IF the whales didn't manipulate and crash the market then we could start rising from the real bottom at $6k and enter the $10k range easily which would be the real value of bitcoin at this point but now everything is postponed because of this reverse bubble that has formed up which needs bursting and price to go back up before it is healthy again.

I can only say that I hope so, even though I don’t have any hope for it. When we were deceived by the language of these experts again and again, we began to become no longer convinced of any predictions. The only thing that made me believe is that the bear market will last for a long time, yes, this is what I thought.

In principle, everything is possible in the cryptocurrency world.Yesterday I read the news and it gave me optimism for the future.State of Ohio becomes the first to Accept Cryptocurrency for Business Taxes.You can read this news in the original at this link:https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/11/26/ohio-becomes-first-state-to-accept-cryptocurrency-for-business-taxes (https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/11/26/ohio-becomes-first-state-to-accept-cryptocurrency-for-business-taxes).Maybe at the end of the year there will be no such bitcoin value, but in 2019 it is unequivocal.I am sure we will have a lot of positive news regarding both Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and the blockchain.

If that is the case, everyone will benefit from it then. Among all coins, benefit has the ability to increase in a short amount of time and even if $15000 USD is a high price, it is possible for bitcoin knowing its price when it started.  The question is when will the fat invest start investing on bitcoin. Until they are not over with the wait and see game, the market price is continue to decrease.

I won’t even attend if that is the case. Now the market is not predictable, since the price is controlled and, starting from this, it can be concluded that there can be growth at any moment. If you look at the news, they are generally positive, but the market is going down, isn’t it strange? Many crypto experts predict growth by the end of the year, but there are also those who on the contrary foreshadow a deep fall and then a long flat. But still I want to believe in the best, since the blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in general are developing and gaining momentum.

it might happen, like last year's cycle, BTC was able to reach a very high price, maybe too far if it compared with the current price that was still crashing, and it took more than a month to recover, so the possibility of rising in the December was a small possibility , but that does not rule out the possibility

I don't really think that would ever be possible, if he says next year i might believe in that but ending we are talking about is like 4 days coming? I don't think that's gonna happen.

I do not see it coming this year as BAKKT delayed it`s operation to 24th of Janurary  2019 and we are very far from any signs of bull market. Institutional investors will not enter the market without some regulations, so it will take more time for the market  to recover.

I think this will not happen. Perhaps the price will rise in March, but not in December, despite this drop. I believe in cryptocurrency and continue to invest in active projects. Here is one of these #swachhcoin. The project will pay people for their trash. At the moment, the bonus is 25%, you can buy coins by the end of October. I advise you to see the project.

Definitely no!
$15k is very high for only one month left, I think max price we can reach in the last year is arround $6k and not $ 15k
It's too high for me and look impossible

  We the recent Volatile activity in the crypto market, no one knows what will happen to Bitcoin by the end of December? The price value of crypto as posted on the market nose dive to a very stressful level on the market, we've lost a lot in just a few days of market movement, A lot of experts say's the other way around on the above stated prediction by Mr.Lee? in my opinion, i am not an expert on crypto, A lot more thing might happen in the market this coming December. Once the market stabilized then we can see a more active crypto market..But i am not sure if the prediction of Mr. Lee will likely to happen....good luck.

I still believe in Bitcoin, I think the value will strengthen over time. I don't think it will be released before the end of the year to 15 K but it is likely that next year we will see this figure for Bitcoin.

the market is certainly more mature than before, consequently the mad volatility is shrinking, I don't think that btc can do x3 by the end of 2018 .. it needs more time for a healthy recovery

the digital money showcase is unpredicatable that ever with in a hour the cost of both bitcoin and some other cash can ascend to the moon or fall underneath zero by one way or another I think the whol predications can not be correct I see no sign that it can happen this year

That prediction may be a little overly optimistic considering the degree of negative sentiment that persists in the market place today

It would be more realistic to expect just a minor appreciation toward the end of the year if the outlook begins to improve and the market does turn around

I would be really happy if the predictions were correct, but after the last few days i can not believe it. The price decline with crypto makes me very uncertain and so a prediction comes to me just to positive. Maybe i have not been around here long enough, but i am slowly losing my faith in the cryptocurrency market.   :(

Most likely he didn't predicted well,BTW who is he?

We are at $3000 range now and how can we get to reach $15000 in one month time span even in 2017 it almost takes four months to reach that all time high prices at bull run.

It's just his prediction , it's easy to make a prediction , you should not trust 100% on him  .
Now the price of market is quite bad , it's difficult to make the price of bitcoin go $ 15,000  by the end of 2018  but you should still have the optimistic look just like him.  :)

It's a prediction, there's nothing wrong with it but I'm saying that its also correct.

You can ask him if he's sure about it but all of the speculations that came out early this year remained as a prediction. There's no way to determine if that's going to real but the market isn't really doing good lately. The prices aren't so high but let's wait until December comes in.

The key word there is "potential" so he is not exactly wrong with his statement. The chances of Bitcoin reaching $15K at the end of the year are slim though. There are no major events or announcements that could trigger the rally. Even the launch of bakkt was postponed.

When someone makes a prediction it doesn't mean that its true. There's a small probability for it to happen because of how prices can quickly increase/decrease from 1-20% in a day. If you're going to read speculations/predictions never take them too seriously.

I'd rather be pessimistic expect the worst prices possible to avoid panic selling.

If you check the article linked below the first post he's from the Wall Street.

I don't share his opinion. I think we still in downtrend and market will drop even more to the end of the year. But crypto is a very unpredictable.

For the end of this year, I think it still has a chance for bitcoin. Still if you have to reach 15k, of course it's very difficult to achieve. My prediction later this year will probably touch at 10k. But crypto might happen maybe not. So we just wait until the end of the year.

Of course, Bitcoin has the possibility to go to $15,000 by end 2018. This is if the crypto market turn bull, I don’t think there is any problem for Bitcoin price to rise by $11,000 in 1 month time. We have all seen Bitcoin performance in the year 2017.

Whatever the predictions of all this, we will continue to look at the graph and keep up with the developments that occur, predictions can be and whatever it is so that we are not so panicked. Mr. Tom Lee has an instinct in this matter so that he can help himself in solving crypto problems.

from which source do you say that he's expressed it? I even recently heard speculation that and you do not include a link to the official will be the news. may indeed happen then this will be the great increase in spectators, but again that it is only a speculation and not the real truth.

This is very likely to be achieved. But it can't be too optimistic. I believe that in just two years, cryptocurrencies will not be able to achieve good growth opportunities. Maybe test the cryptocurrency. It may take time to exceed the price of 2017.

At the end of 2017 and the begin of 2018, Bitcoin price went up strongly because of the appearance of many ICO project and MLM investment forms, as the same time bitcoin was known by a lot of people so they made big buy orders to pushed Bitcoin price went over 18k. But now, you can see we don't have good news and a lot of buyers are waiting for the good price to sell all Bitcoin they are holding.

This can no longer be a good prediction. December is just 2 days away, it bitcoin just managed to craw back to $4000 today. $15,000 looks very impossible this December.

Here, people are optimistic that for the time being they need at least double, and you immediately overestimated him, and don’t know how to answer you.

Could you point the article saying about that prediction. I think that is possible for that to happen, but i still have doubt that from the current point, i think it will be too sudden for that to happen right now, but if it happen in the next few month i think it's fine.

The bull market will happen. This is just an incident, but I don't think the experts' predictions are worthy of trust. I have heard many similar predictions this year. No one is accurate. Experts always like to use "the bull market will run next month."this is the way to attract people’s attention.

This can happen. Because we do not know how the market will behave, because it is unstable. Everything can even change in one day. Therefore, we need to believe.

Price can be predicted by anyone but it doesn’t mean that it will come true every time. IMO, crypto prices are not so easy to forecast. I trust that $15,000 will come, not necessary to be by end of this year, it is just a matter of time.

 

Even though the probability is slim, bitcoin can in few hours hit 15k and maintain that price for months.

Any miracles are possible in the crypto world. And I would not be surprised if Bitcoin really grows to $ 15,000 by the end of 2018. There were moments last year when the BTC grew by $ 1,000 a day. Moreover, it seems that institutional capital has already penetrated into the crypto industry and the current decline in market capitalization has been created intentionally for speculative purposes.

If not this coming December, then maybe it will happen by next year. Nobody could really know what is the exact time for that to happen since a lot of manipulators is keeping it not to happen now.

we must face it with such a fall that we are seeing in recent weeks, it’s less and less believed that by the end of the year Bitcoin will be close to 7,000. What kind of 15,000 will we talk about? Perhaps in April 2019, but most likely in 2020

If you see past history charts of Bitcoin you will get your answers Bitcoin needs to go all time low support before it gets to new all time high ans is very sure that bit will go at least 12k in December.

without proof I can't believe it. in my opinion it's just a belief in him, we can't just follow it. so instead of questioning it is better to focus on what is now.

  Anybody who claimed to be an expert on crytpo market can make such Speculation on what to become on the price value of Bitcoin at the end of this year 2018. With the huge drops on its price value i would think that, it will take a little more time to the market to recover, if we look at the price value now, well, at least crypto market show some active market movement upward, it now testing the 4k level, i hope it sustain and turn more positive towards the end of next month.

I'm still sure bitcoin can go up to $ 15k. but I don't need to hope that it will happen, my current target is just how I can return my money lost due to yesterday's market bear

It seems to me that if this happens, no one will be against it, but just the opposite, everyone will be in favor, because they have long expected at least some growth from the market!

Yes, absolutely today is the day since from the July when the bitcoin has successfully rebounce up to 6%. And now there is a higher possibility of a bull run. So hopefully it will go up to 15k.

I'm still sure the market will recover, but bitcoin at $ 15K is something else. I think it's impossible to happen at the end of the year. currently bitcoin has fallen more than 200% since the beginning of this year. and it is certainly difficult to convince people to buy if they have been part of the fall of Bitcoin this year.

I do not think we'll see the $ 15,000 at Bitcoin this year. The market has been stagnating for months and the volume is decreasing. However, to get back to our old ATH we need volume and purchasing power. I do not see this at the moment. I think the course is going to recover for a long time to recover in a couple of months.

I'm also sure the market will grow, but to believe that bitcoin can return like the beginning of the year is something very difficult. more realistic if bitcoin can return to $ 8K or $ 9K by the end of 2018.

That's some huge jump right there if it happens. It isn't impossible. We can't say anything surely about Bitcoin. It is so unpredictable. No one knows how it will do before the year ends. If it has a steady increase before December begins, it might be possible. But, 4k USD to 15k in a month? I don't think so. Although I hope that it will.

But i think may be it will goes to increase because bitcoin is start to going up and now the current price of bitcoin is 4,177 usd and its mean there are 80% of chances that the end of the bitcoin will goes to reach 15k$ and its right time to buy bitcoin.

To make accurate predictions we must have a big crystal balls, the bigger crystal balls you have, the more accurate predictions you will get.

That possibility can happen, but I think it's very low. Bitcoin ETF and Bakkt are two points that Bitcoin can regain growth momentarily, but it's unlikely to happen in the short term unless a miracle happens.

I don't think bitcoin will hit $15k by the end of this year. Even though anything is possible in this world. Bitcoin will take a longer time before it can hit that high.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I do not think that soon Bitcoin will return above $ 15,000. While the market continues to decline. What we are seeing for the last 2 days is just a rebound to the top, but the trend itself continues to be bearish.

I am not sure about it. But I believe bitcoin still have a chance to goes $8000 by the end of this year. Now the price of bitcoin is very cheap like $4170. I think it is not easy to raise from $4000 to $15000 in one month. But if his prediction becomes true, then I would be very happy.

maybe you will believe with that words if you watch the market of crypto in this day my friend
but, for me i think 10K USD is more reasonable price for bitcoin in this year if this green market continues  ;)

it is good to dream big but I don't see this happening, because Bitfinexed team has been under investigation by SECand I don't see the huge amount of money to push the price to $15k entering the space this late, BAKKT could have greatly helped but the launched has been postponed to next year. We need to be realistic here

Perhaps by the end of the year Bitcoin prices go higher than we think. But since early this year, prices have begun to fall, since this year will not be easy to believe in.

Nah. They probably still have bags that they'd like to unload at a higher price.  ;D
Any hopium left in the market will be crushed until mid-next year or even the entire 2019.
We could go sideways for a long time if there's no major development or massive amounts of new money coming in.

In the crypto world everything possible so difficult to predict, but if we make analysis according to current status of market specially dumps in last week than we can say it will be more difficult that bitcoin touch 15K at the end of 2018.

But we can’t say it is impossible but it would be difficult to bitcoin to recover as high as last December.

I do not believe that, and that is wild opinion that cannot be accounted for. I think anything can happen in the crypto market, there are no predictions that really prove accurate. bitcoin has fallen to its lowest level and currently growth is running. I hope this growth will run until the months ahead.

It is not an impossible task, it has risen by 10k in a month before and it took place around this time last year. It probably won't happen again, but at least it proves that it is possible

Maybe experts know better what the price will be at the end of this year, but I would not predict this, because then these experts will be sad, and improvement is probably not expected, and so I want everything to be good at least next year.

Actually although this predict sound too optimistic for me, it can easily happen. If BTC can go from $6500 on this date in 2017 to almost $20k by end of December why can’t it go from today’s sagging price of $6300 to over $20K over the next 6–8 weeks?

When somebody is predicting a price of some cryptocurrency in the future, they are not predicting it - they are fully speculating. There is no way in the crypto sphere that people with the same information sources that regular people have access to, can make a valid prediction ahead in the future. It's just not possible!

Think how much money would they make in leverage trading if they have a solid way to predict the price of BTC, they would be multimillionaires within a days time.

When dealing with cryptos you have to know that there is always a possibility for a great fall and also an opportunity for "out of this world" growth.  But you should take all of the predictions with a great sense of skepticism.

It was not possible for ethereum to rise to that price since the beginning of the year and now that it is at its lowest point of the year it is even more impossible than before, people need to stop doping this to themselves, the price is not going to skyrocket this year, forget about it and concentrate in the positive, you have more time to get more coins and make more money that way.

I think it is not possible to reach $15000 in this year. Maybe we need to wait for upcoming year. Cause Bitcoin price is now under $4300 and from this position it will take more time to increase again.

No, I don't think that's true. This is another fortune telling on the coffee grounds.
The market will not be able to recover so quickly. Now there are no prerequisites for this. We must wait for the next rise of interest of the masses to cryptocurrencies.

I think it is not possible for this year. Last decreasing is change my all opinions on the market but i believe that next years summer increasing start again. We will see the movement like two years ago

It depends on the powers of this world. At the same manufacturers of mining equipment, now the situation is deplorable, to such an extent that the equipment in China is sold by weight. They can turn the market in the right direction, that you raise again the demand for your equipment.

He already lost all his credibility.

Everytime you see these guys saying it will go up, expect it to go down, and vice-versa.

unless there are chances that the btc will go above 20% within a day, otherwise i doubt that if that would really happen. plus the recent probably hard split harmed a lot to the price.
anyway, i don't expect btc back $5500 this week at least

Obviously, this probably won't be a possible scenario in the current year and if it does then it's just a manipulator move and similar thing can and will repeat like January 2018, the market will just plunge. So, it is better to expect the market to rebound slowly and practically with as you said rise of mass interest upon cryptocurrencies.

I think these predictions are just manipulations. Well-known experts also try to manipulate with the market as per they needs, before they tried to bring it down and now, when everyone has lost money, they want to put it back up.

It could but the landscape is different now and repeating old ground is actually harder then making new highs.    So 2017 the dollar was falling which is a big difference, 2018 its risen most of the time with higher interest rates expected.

Only just in recent days have we seen the FED say they may not keep raising rates at the same pace as previously.  Thats been reflected in stock prices and possibly its given crypto some relief from this harder money atmosphere.   Overall I think BTC balances out rather then assumes a high climb rate again, it can be positive but I dont imagine the same buying frenzy as last year.   Thats probably healthy and the best thing long term

As per market condition it is bit tough to reach the value but  I think there are some experts reviewed and updated that price will goes to 15K there so am not sure how it will go. Most of the people lost the money in panic situation due to lower prices of BTC.

It was hard enough to target 15k when we're running steady at 6.5k. I think even if we have a bull run at this point it'll be hardpressed to push the price even close to that amount. I'd be happy if we can get to 7 to 8k range before the year ends.

In this year the crypto world experienced severe shocks so that bitcoin fell further down, and it would be difficult to reach 15k. The price of 15k will be achieved by bitcoin, but to achieve bitcoin it takes a long time, maybe 2 years from now.

I agree with this, some people make predictions for the price that are incredible and I could think that if they did that they will show a very detailed analysis about why they think this is going to happen and most of the time the opposite is the truth, they do not show anything to back up their claims so those predictions do not have any kind of weight to me.

Agree, it takes a long time to see bitcoin price to increase at 15k. The current price is hardly to move up since it may decline or continues to increase this time. Their had been many manipulations in the market so I dont think it will goes 15k end of this year.

No-no, there are no chances for Bitcoin to reach 15 thousand this year. Its main task is to recover and hit the $6000 target. After this, the growth will start.

Well, this was better to read than FUD causing panic to others. If this was true, then it's good but this is just prediction, it's not guaranteed to happen because the one who said it, is expert. Anything could happen but to be honest it was hard to believe such rise will happen this month. So much of plot twist if ever.

The only solution for that to see again bitcoin reach to 15k dollars is UNITY because the cause of the dumping the value is because of the panic seller. But if we buy again bitcoin and start promoting, and have positive vibes and feedback to bitcoin.

In the world of cryptocurrency, such huge increases in short time have been happening many times, but this time I am afraid that nothing like this will happen. If prices stops falling, then the price of Bitcoin will jump to about $5000 maximum. I think that for $15k we will have to wait until the middle of next year.

The field of Bitcoin is full of surprises, it may seem hard to predict or conclude of what its price will be, since it's volatile. There's only few more days to come before 2018 ends, I believe that Bitcoin can rise from its current price swing but I don't think 15k is reachable in that short period of time, it could only be 7k-8500k. What I think is important would be everyone has to be calibrated and must be on the same page or level of awareness, because others tend to panic and do things on their own, they tend to believe of what they hear and read without having to check its source. There have been lots of fake news and negativity circulating around trying to ruin Bitcoin and many have been trapped on this kind of ideas because they lack knowledge of how truly valuable Bitcoin is. Let's help and support each other for growth, development, and survival.

We are all hopeful for Bitcoin's recovery from crash, but I don't think it's going to reach 15k by the end of the year. At its current state, it may seemingly be hard to predict how will market looks like in couple of days. I think it will only reach at around 6 to 7k, in my own speculation, there's only few chances of reaching it to 15k in that short span of time specially because of these never ending issues that keep on circulating around that triggered investors and traders. However, don't lose hope and confidence, it may not be at its best for now but always be positive that there will still be good news to come and Bitcoin will be back on track again at the course of time.

In the market everything is possible but I do not believe and do not want that there was such an aggressive growth better let it be smooth and productive.

I also believe that bitcoin can't able to reach the forecast of $15k this year end unless bullrun start now. But the price of the bitcoin is still at $4100 level as of moment after it suffered a sharp decline several days ago. Bitcoin's growth might remain slow this whole december with some short uptrends because of the holiday season. I also believe that next year there will be some sort of recovery but it is dificult to know if this recovery will be short term or will lead to another bullrun.

If you really want to be successful in this market you must stop listening to those who predict the future,because if does this will only brings you failure in mind and heart.we all know that volatility is unpredictable and its more easier for a gambling game to predict the winning number than the price growth of this market

Tom Lee is being around for a long time,and most of his predictions came to reality so i believe that the possibilities are indeed,and besides we are in dip market for long time so this maybe the bottom to start a new pump.i was just expecting this for atleast second or third week of december ,so lets wait and see

Are you sure? No one can predict about bitcoin, whether it is about the price, or about the time when it goes up or down. you need too be brave to take risk, don't listen too much to them who says they can predict the future, bitoin is unpredictable, that's all.

Tom Lee has always been bullish on bitcoin, he was still bullish on bitcoin even when we reached 20 thousand dollars.
He is kinda the junior version of Mccaffe who said he would eat his own penis if bitcoin is not a million dollars.

Tom Lee is just the lite version and always sees bitcoin as bullish as it gets even when the price falls. He doesn't see the negativity in bitcoin and only hears about the positive stuff. To give him some credit dude lives in a bubble of everyone asking him how to get bitcoins if they are not interested yet and people who goes up to him and ask "do you really think it will go up that much ?" all day. Hence, it is normal that he thinks price will go up, I would have thought the same thing if all I hear was amazingly good stuff about bitcoin.

It still is possible but by the number of people who have bought btc at a cheaper rate this time, they will all be taking profit before the price even get to hit $10k. All due the fear of bitcoin droping again. What we need is more people believing in this market and the constantly number of them increasing everyday may just be the chance for BTC to hit more than $10k again.

8k-10k range is still possible by the end of this year.  A 2x is nothing for bitcoin and it has been done within a month before.  A lot of big names were predicting new all time highs this year but it probably won't happen.  2019 will be the year of the substantial rise when bitcoin goes over 30k and maybe even to 50k.

By this point I can only think he continues ploughing this path of utter hopelessness because his granny sends him a card or bakes him a cake every time he appears on TV or in the press so she can shout 'that's my grandson' to her fellow inmates.

That's the only possible explanation. It serves no purpose. It wastes his time and ours.

The price of bitcoin isn't going to inexplicably rise 80% again for no reason and until a major player in the game like Amazon, Google or Apple decides to do something big about it or make use of the technology, I foresee it going the beanie baby route.

The technology behind the bitcoin is blockchain and it has no role to play in increasing the prices.And already the company you mentioned accepts cryptos as a payment in some segment but not in full form so they are not going to make much difference other than getting renowned the bitcoin name to world people.

You say if there is still a possibility to rise to 8k-10k at the end of this year? quite interesting, that means there must be a price increase of around 300% of the current price.

If you believe in TA, right around the 4400 is the .38 fib retracement along with the 50 day ma. These could act as resistance and may push the price down. You may not be a believer in TA, but some people are and they will sell here. If you are going to FOMO in, wait until we break 4400.

Well we can all dream of something as ambitious as that though lol. With less than 2 weeks to go, even if we indeed get a bull run, i doubt it'll be enough to even get us above 10k.

Bitcoin is all about uncertainty, anything could happen in no time. Confirmation for the same is the price increase that happened around an year back taking the price of bitcoin go above $20000. As we're much closer to the end days of the year 2018, expect good increase by 2019.

This moment is impossible to happen but around janauary or February 2019 is possible to happen because for this year maybe we can see only 4k upto 5k dollars each bitcoin value because they have a lot of people seel their bitcoin for the crhistmas season because other is on the vacation or give their gift.

Zero chance for 2018 - 12% chance for 2019 - 62% chance for 2020 - 89% chance for 2021.

Bitcoin still have chance no doubt. In 2013, there was a huge fall in the values of the coins and recovery happened in2017. So this fall will be followed by a much boomic and economically prosperous era. So, better stay motivated.
