The uncertainty and general possible mayhem of the fork was the only thing standing in the way of $10,000 BTC by end of 2017. Now with the fork removed I think we are guaranteed to hit it in December.
How high do you think it'll go before end of year? If Bitcoin keeps its average pace this year it'll hit $11,000 roughly on the last day of the year.
I find it so odd that they took out the fork because it seemed so crucial -- there was such a build up to it and now it's gone before everyone expected to sell. We'll probably have a load of panic sellers right now trying to get the most out of this bubble that they tried so hard to ride up.
Should maybe drop down by a 500-1000 dollars. In the past few minutes that I've been keeping up with the price, there has been a drop of around $300. I'm not too worried though; it's probably better for the longevity of BTC to not have too many forks like these especially ones that seem like an attack more than anything.
In my opinion it is possible the miners knew from the very beginning they were not going to create that fork, they knew the price of bitcoin will go up and they were going to benefit greatly from it and that will suppress the price of alts that they can now get for cheap, to me this seems like a major insider job, they are earning lots of money and they are also attacking bitcoin at the same time.
