It does have a chance to reach higher but it won't have a better % year than last because those type of gains are out of the question.
I don't think you are right as bitcoin is going to go as high as $100,000 this year according to some speculators! This time last year many were saying that bitcoin is not going to make a good progress but you can see were we are today. I will pray we should make more progress this year more than what happened last year as the progress will help to make more confident than last year.
We have had people like him who have never believed in a huge rise anyway right from when bitcoin was even $2. Last year was a sign and no one could have thought we will actually reach the ATH we reached even though we all knew at some point that was not really a good one and market obviously needed this correction. For now, we may just have to see how things end up happening, but the possibilities of high percentage are something we still cannot rule out.
