Will bitcoin prices rise beyond 20k in the future, and whether bitcoin will only stabilize at a price of 8k - 10k and it will be difficult to exceed that price.
There will be a rapid growth and the price can even jump beyond the amount you specified. This may rightly happen in the last quarter of the year as btc proves not to be falling below 6k
I cant say anything before 2017 about bitcoin because I came to know about it in 2017. What have been passed before that, I am not sure about it. But what I know, prices always start growing to some extent and then it comes down for nothing. So learn it better rather to mourn on this downfall. This would let you make good understanding and results would be better.
