Is it possible that without margin trading bitcoin will become too stable? Causing it to rise so slowly that its not worth the investment.
It is worth the investment as long as the growth rate is better than the interest rate of what bank can offer.
not this year, but soon...
I think 2000$ per BTC is pretty possible to see this year. But I doubt that the price will stay on this price for long. It's going to be the same story as with 1000$ hitting on this new year, after such big and long waited for, price fell down very fast.
I doubt bitcoin will hit $2000 in this year due after the price reach $1000 only in couple days the price back move down, it show some trader didn't want bitcoin price too high maybe it will occur after we faced next halving and still far from now.
I think it will hit around $1500 to $1600 this year, $2000 can be seen next year. This is based on the observation at the current fluctuation of Bitcoins. Bitcoin price will move up and down along the years slowly increasing its base price.
