I'm not sure if we'll ever see the all time high again and possibly anywhere near it. That was pumped up by pure excitement and naive newbies coming in at an alarming pace and they'll all be very weary this time if the price starts to rally again. Late last year there were people wondering if the rally will ever stop and keep going to millions and that's what fueled it as outsiders couldn't resist the opportunity to make some easy money. Now the question that will be asked is "when is the bubble going to pop again" and that will cause both a slower growth and a faster downfall when people panic that the bubble is bursting.
700 days is just 30 days less than 2 years for the price of bitcoin to reach $20,000 again. You know that this year is the year where almost every prediction about bitcoin fail, whether its good news or bad news. The article above will be another prediction that might fail. This year makes bitcoin more and more unpredictable.
A prediction is just that -- a prediction. Nobody knows what bitcoin is going to be worth tomorrow nevermind years from now and any guess is -- by definition -- pure speculation based on guesswork. Bitcoin could be worth zero within two years. It could be worth tens of thousands. I'd say it's going to be somewhere in between

, but of course, that's just my speculation. I still have hope for bitcoin but I think most people -- especially new investors -- are just going to be too apprehensive and weary that it's going to burst and that's what's going to keep the price down.
