2 more days before November ends and Bitcoins price is just $200 away from $10,000, it is really possible for bitcoin to reach that level by December 1st. More people really wants to have their own bitcoin and are starting to invest more into it.
It's not mandatory for bitcoin to reached it's price by $10,000 before December 1st. It will happened and chances now are very high. If it doesn't reached before December 1st then definitely it may happened next month or so on. As long as there is chances, then expect that to happened no matter when.
The thing for an average bitcoiner to be prepared was, find a way to accumulate more coins without engaging too much in buying. Since no doubt that most of average bitcoiners can't afford buying at the current price rate even for a small fraction, find another way/s instead or improve their current method to earn bitcoin.
