I do think that the price is going to be $1000 this year but I think that it will happen at the end of 2016.
We just have to wait for the halving to come and see what happens after that.
We need some good news for the bitcoin price to be over $1000 later this year. This incude the block size increase.
Even I am hoping the same, Its hard to say for what is going to happen with the value in the future. Because you never know what will happen and that is the problem.
I dont think it will reach the 1000$. Because if it is rising. It rise very slowly so it need time. So we just have to wait.
I've been doubting the potential for Bitcoin to make it to $1,000 before the end of 2016, and while it is still possible, I think it is rather unlikely for there to be a swing all the way up to $1k. The market might push it up to $800 or $900, but like it's been said before $1,000 is kind of a mental barrier for the market and thus it might be a while before there's enough courage to break it.
