In the near term bitcoin can not reach the value 20k, but for the future bitcoin will get past the value of 20k. I do not think bitcoin will end, and therefore I believe that bitcoin will be able to reach a value of 20k.
"Near term" and "future" are pretty subjective imho.
Bitcoin was down to 6k and many were crying it'll fall to 3k.
Now it's 9k and every tiny good thing becomes a news. Bitcoin may get pumped faster than many would expect...
Views and hopes will be mainly affected on whats the current price we are seeing on bitcoin.If we do see low or dropping down then we would really say negative things but when we do saw recovery then theres a boost up of hope which we would believe on reaching out that ATH once again.This is really a very speculative market and price increase might happen soon or on next minute. No one really knows and reaching 20k again is still possible or even further.
