We *could* be at $50,000 at the end of January, so anything is conceivable by the end of the year. (Bitcoin went UP $2,000 when the US Capital Building was stormed, so *anything's possible* concerning the price of Crypto)
It does appear as if the stock correlation still an important clue. But possibly because yes, more capital to pour into markets, but all investors seeing worthwhile risks in new markets like Bitcoin. Bad news is good news for the time being.
$100k has never been crazy. Most of us have expected $100k this year even before institutions started jumping on board the past few months. Now it just looks like $100k could be passed much earlier in the year.
Previously my target for the year had been $100k, now I'm thinking $150k-$200k is possible this year.
It's gone from $29k to $42k in not even 8 days to start the year. I expect at least one solid correction this winter/spring, but after that $100k is totally in play by Summer.
I definitely didn't. I was expecting a test of 2017 ATH this year, not last! Still "crazy" for me to try and adjust prices... for a very long time my mind psychologically saw Bitcoin at $4k, and then last year I came to adjust that to $10k. Mind-boggling stuff. Here's to your prediction coming true;)
