I am very optimistic that Bitcoin will reach that 50k USD by this year. Banks are releasing very good news and eventually this add more on the demand of bitcoin.
What banks have been releasing good news about bitcoin? In fact, banks are said to be indifferent towards bitcoin and prefer to keep their hands off when it comes to cryptocurrencies. $50K is pretty long off but based on bitcoin's price trend, there's a chance for it to reach that amount within the year. Not immediately or anytime soon, but it could happen in the future. Just last December, it almost reached $20K.
