Frankly, I never thought I would say that, but for me it will happen in 2017, this is a certainity. In fact while we are only at the beginning of August, there is still roughly five months to take a 150$ valuation. Anyone thinking the inverse must have an insider or is crazy.
Before I'm not even expecting that bitcoin can reach $3,000 this early of this year. As I was expecting it to happen before the end of the year and possible that it will only be stable at $2,500 but now. It's totally true the we had reached $3,300 and it's getting more time to reach $3,500 very soon possibly before this month ends.
Because if the demand of bitcoin and because of the lightning network and lesser miners fee changes after segwit activation the price of bitcoin was increase too high that i think can attract other investors and business to invest in bitcoin and i think this month we will see that the price of bitcoin can be touch to $3,500 before end of this month.
