Just a warning to everyone that reads our forum. This thread is infested by traders dreaming to buy at 2-3K. The desparate trolls are posting on each page with the hope to influence the market. The truth is that there are many hodling thousands of bitcoins that are not going to sell them at these prices. The professional traders look at the ROI price for the miners and see it as the bottom. Currently this is in the 7K-8K range. With the new mining devices the profit will decrease, so even before the halvening the BTC price will climb significantly. Moreover, recall that in Jan-March 2017 the price oscillated in the 800-1200$ range. This year is the same old story, only that BTC added another 0: 8K-12K. Don't trust the bear trolls! They know BTC will add another 0 in the coming years (maybe months) to the price. These guys are pretending to be successful traders but 99% of them are complete failures. They just spread FUD with the hope to turn the few bucks left from the altcoins fiasco to millions, buying as low as possible! All this is just "food for thought" for the noobs who believe Tera and co are sincere in their 'realistic predictions'.
I bet in December you would have called anyone claiming BTC to be $59xx on February 5th a "desperate troll" too. The fact is nobody here really knows whats going to happen. Just because it costs the miners $X
today doesnt mean shit. Trump could make a comment in passing about enacting laws banning crytocurrency and the price would be $2-3K by tomorrow morning.
