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?
By the way if these technical issues of a hard fork ( BU )or a soft fork (Segwit activation) are activated they might push the price over 2000 with ease
Nice GIF raising up a gun up to the $2000 mark, well we can surely see the price of bitcoin holding up now to $1600 and getting to $1700 will not be any harder that when we are in the $1500 value, I think there are no resistant anymore in raising up the value and we are getting the $2000 mark in no time at all.
