As what we see in the past 6 years. The price of bitcoin will increase this year and my estimate for the price will reach to 6,000 USD this November.And the reason behind is the booming of Lightning Network and the Lapps that base on LN.
Well, Bitcoin price can easily reach $6k by November. With LN or without. Value of LN I see is that at next hype when number of transactions spike fees will be much lover than without LN.
