I am standing by my opinion that the 2000 mark may be reached sometime around the New year, but technical issues must be resolved during the summer because overall situation is actually far from good. Otherwise, we'll struggle to come anywhere near it, and -more importantly- remain there.
But what if the technical issues are not resolved and everything stays the same? Bitcoin will not reach $2000 this year then according to your opinion.
By technical issues, I assume you mean the debate between a hard fork to BU or a soft fork to Segwit activation?
