The 1k bitcoin is not that far ahead of us within the next 2-3 years maybe we can see that price of bitcoin again.
The bitcoin will definitely reach $1000 within the next two to three years. It could be even earlier.
We will see that price by the end of the year 2016 we don't have to wait too long to see that price as halving will help us to see that price in this year.
If halving doesn't have impact on bitcoin then surely bitcoin price can be expected by the end of the year.
And I think the halving will have a good impact on the price of bitcoin and still the price will rise up to only $1000 in this year, in the mid or the end, as currently it require some more time to reach more higher than $1000.
