What are your predictions on BTC and alts the start of the year?

I think, looking back at the historical charts of BTC, that it will drop to max $8.500 until the 20th/21st of January.

Then it will rise again, hover between $12.000 and $16.000 for the first half of the year. Then, around Juli (or even before) the big climb will begin, to $20.000 and then to the end of the year I predict an amount of above $43.000.

For alts, it totally depends on what you're holding. I think a lot of coins will fall, coming out for what they truly are, lousy money grab projects, or becoming what they really will be: mega projects forming the future of the blockchain, and with it, the future of mankind. Think in the size of companies like Google, Amazon, Alibaba. Invest well here (where your mind and heart lies) and you could become part of that future, and become filthy rich Grin

Also I have very high hopes for Ethereum. This will be their year and I think, year's end it will see a price of over $8.000

This is all coming straight out of my crystal ball, I have no clue if it will be and there are predictions of BTC plummeting to less than $1.800 too.

Ethereum (Ether) is likely to do better in the next year than ever before, because all the people discovering bitcoin now are finding out about altcoins (several months lag) and the first one they will read about (or buy a crypto-kitty made of) with be Ethereum. The big reason it will take off soon (maybe this year) is that it has the value on the usefulness of it as software, which will make it more mainstream, (if the ICO rush doesn't lead a rush of bad news).

As for dollar equivalent amounts, I expect about another 1000% increase in bitcoin, (probably will at least test 100K) and closer to 1900% (approximately 20K) increase in ether. Those % changes would be stable but starting place might be a bit lower if bitcoin breaks down further.

Wow 20k for Eth Shocked

That would make me a happy man!
