It's a crime to still answer to this topic in 2017.
My guess is that Bitcoin will reach the 10 000$ before the end of this year. It still has flourishing days ahead of bitcoin!
You are exactly on the main point. If someone says bitcoin is dead now in 2017 then I think that man should be shoot in head. Why someone is not seeing the fantastic speedy accelerated progress bitcoin is making since last 2-3 years.
As you said, bitcoin will be more emerging in upcoming future and you will see price charts will jump even more than $10K, wait and watch.
