I guess this recent sell-off will bring a bit of reality to all the hot heads from this topic. $1000 is very unrealistic this year, unless we have really positive, fundamental developments. Based on halving alone we won't make it!
$1000 as prediction is low compared to some people thinking the price will go to $2000-$5000 this year. These people are either trolling or living in a fantasy world. The halving plus good news about the block size drama will surely cause the price to go to at least $600 this year.
