Anything might happen, the situation of things athand present might not necessarily affect Bitcoin and prevent it from rising. Even if it does not rise early enough. I believe cryptocurrency will be a boom this year. 2018 holds great for crypto. Just as it has been projected, there is every likelihood for Bitcoin to rise beyond $20000. Virtually everyone believes this and it will become a reality.
I'm agreed, anything can happen, it is crypto and it is quite unstable, we can't say what will happen the next months with the market. Just stay focused.
