More and more and more actors from the NYC agreement are dropping like flies. Now we have BTCC out of the agreement. Along with f2pool, this is a big chunk of hashrate that segwit2x lost. Bitfury will also potentially not be mining segwit2x. This would be the nail in the coffin, not even considering Bitcoin Core 0.15 is comming out soon which everyone will upgrade to.
With segwit2x out of the picture, we can hit $10,000 easily during 2018, so hold on to your coins and stop falling for the government ban nonsense.
If we are talking the whole period of 2018 then I agree with you. I always find forked and upgrade bullish for Bitcoin. And since it is the gateway (the current upgrade for implementation of segwit 2x )upgrade for lots of improvement. I believe Bitcoin might probably exceed $10k at the end of 2018.
