I will admit that some members of the community are simply too positive about their predictions and about what bitcoin can achieve and in fact a price of 5000 at the end of the year is completely realistic however that is not enough to say bitcoin is never going to reach those values before the bull market of the previous year there were many predictions which said we will need a decade or two before reaching that price but people got overexcited with the bubble we saw last year and the predictions for the price of bitcoin went through the roof.
