Interesting trends in Bitcoin -
Roger Ver ("Bitcoin Jesus")/founder Bitcoin.com said Bitcoin will lose value and be taken over by Bitcoin Cash because the original interest in Bitcoin Core was "cheap and fast transactions" and that is gone now. Bitcoin Cash does what the original Bitocoin Core did before the blockchain got saturated. (this makes sense but he is also clearly marketing for Bitcoin Cash because he runs an exchange).
Social Capital's Chamath Palihapitiya says Bitcoin Will Reach $1 Million Per Coin... but they are early investors who hold a lot of coins (good for their pocket to pump the coin price).
Cameron Winklevoss, thought to be one of the largest holders of bitcoin, thinks the cryptocurrencys blazing gains this year are just the start. He predicts it will rise as much as 20-fold as investors come to view it as an upgrade to gold (but again, a large holder of the coin, good for him to pump the price).
Then Saxo Bank - Bitcoin will peak above $60,000 in 2018 before crashing to its fundamental production cost of $1,000 the following year... (fundamentals)
Then on a side note - Bitcoin's secretive creator could become the world's first trillionaire. If Nakamoto is a single person, they're currently the 52nd richest person in the world when measured against Forbes' list of billionaires. And judging by the way Bitcoin's price has exploded, they might soon sit on top of that list, potentially as the world's first trillionaire.
So what is the value of Bitcoin in 2018? These are just a few of the many, many opinions out there but I think that $60K prediction from Saxo Bank seems to be on par right now.
