$500K by end of 2018? Hey we can all dream, right? The end of 2018/beginning of 2019 is when we will start seeing hype for the 2020 halving event. I bet a lot of new bitcoiners getting in now don't even know what halving is yet.
Let me ask you one question, who dreamed about bitcoin to hit up to $20,000 this year? Simply, at most 1% of the whole community. Then dreaming about bitcoin sometimes turn into real.
