That's not how speculation works.There is a difference in guessing and analyzing.$10,000 this year will make instant millionaires crushing other economical investors.Not in the history of trades such event takes place,be practical.
A growth like that has happened 3 times already in bitcoin - in 2011 and twice in 2013. Now we are in a similar situation - the price was confined to a narrow range - while more and more people have been learning about bitcoin - the result is that any break out will be amplified - just like it has been in the 3 previous occasions.
not sure you are comparing apples with apples. in 2013 it was a few people chasing the willy bot and it went quickly up to 1000 and then down to $250 (oe down 75%) over time. Not sure what prompted the 2011 jump but again the price was down about 70% a few months later.
not sure there is alot of pent up demand out there. So if it shoots up quickly and in a big way it will be being pumped. Just ensure you sell out before the next 70% drop from the new ATH or it will hurt.
