I have few things to comment
1 -) about bitcoin: I think it's impossible for the bitcoin price to reach $50,000 this year, and I find it very difficult for the price of bitcoin to reach $50,000 next year. In my opinion we will see the $50,000 after 2020
2 -) about ETH: I think it is impossible for the ETH price to reach $1000 this year, maybe next year, once the bitcoin price increases to $18000, then the ETH price will be $1000.
Comments sound more realistic than then press releases!
IMO both comment are exaggerated because the current market is showing more sign of stability and survival rather than the supposed big price turn over, as you've already stated it could one of the be some big players manipulative strategy, but that'd wouldn't matter if indeed it makes a positive significant impact on the market.
I think that would matter somehow, difficult to say if we are not in the game.
The first article has almost nothing to do about the future bitcoin price.It's a discussion about crypto "risk-coverage" or a "risk-weighted price" and some other bullshit.If one investor owns one bitcoin,the investor will have to cover 8 times (800%) the price of that bitcoin,in order to secure it's market position.
Total nonsense,if you ask me....
I don't really care that much about ethereum though.I didn't read the second article.
yeah, it is confusing.
Cool reaction to J.P.Morgan and Eth news
