Same as me. I didnt think bitcoin will be this high six month ago. But to reach 10k usd at the end of 2017 is kinda hard. 9000++ usd would be acceptable by the end of 2017.
Yes, bitcoin has a big future potential, there are many factors that support is, such as :
1. Always break a price records by going up to a new level of price, although it has its down too, but it is normal in any kind of currency.
2. Some country already make bitcoin as a legal payment in their country.
3. Big vendors and merchants are starting to accept bitcoin.
That is just some factors that i can think of. Well, we are not wrong to invest our money on bitcoin. To the 10k !
