In 2018 Bitcoin will very likely not end up becoming anywhere close to $50,000 USD. You're looking at maybe somewhere around $5,000 maximum if the market is in a good mood and the fork goes well, but otherwise there could be some issues when it comes to cracking some of the goals for the market. $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 is a big number right now and we probably saw a lot of the new money come in during the pump from three-digits to four, and now we have to wait for either a new wave of money or a lot of people holding and refusing to sell.

$2,500-$5,000 will likely be the story of 2018, maybe a bit higher up if the investors are generous.
