August 2018 is the time when we will see the price go up and down and stable at more than 5$ per coin.If everything goes well with the launch, the price can easily cross 10$ by year end.
$10 means a 3/4 billions market cap...not impossible but certainly not an easy target. In a year the whole crypto market could be worth 10 times what it is now so this will be equivalent to a 300/400M market cap today that I see as a reasonable target (today.)
So yes, maybe $10 is not as far as it seems (in a year from now).
I would like to add that $10 is indeed possible, a price like $4 is easy to reach when the total market goes 10 times of what it is now. Combined with ongoing development and innovation, a lot of testing from the community on the platform will only make SONM grow bigger and bigger. Therefore a partnership is still possible for the future, with big tech companies now coming into crypto. Which can make the price blow up just look at what happened with IOTA.
