No, it is not gonna happen. By the end of 2018, I bet it will be hitting 13k$ instead of reaching new ATH. See the trend analysis and fundamental analysis by an expert trader, not a CEO of an exchange which just telling shit to make him trend because of his nonsense prediction.
Maybe it is a crazy prediction just to advertising BitMEX Exchange
You got that right but it is nearly realistic figures than the predictions of 1 million dollars, 500k and 200k of some people out there, the $50k prediction is impossible with the current price situation of the crypto market but remember the 20k ATH event last year, we may see another one or not at all because the next outcome for the Q4 is unpredictable to know.
