I think Bitcoin will grow very high end of 2018 but it will be very hard to hit $100000. I believe that bitcoin will rise strongly and it take a few years to recach $100000.
We know that a lot of FUDs have in crypto market and most of them will observe when it hold and sell. So everything is hepen, time will say.
I definitely share the same thought as well. However, FUD or no FUD, we all know what good news can always do to the market, and I won't be surprised the level of good news we should be having on bitcoin this year and most especially transaction wise.
We could test the previous tops, hit maybe a little higher, but end of the year is so far from what we should be expecting too much. We probably just wait for it and if it happens, then we had still all be happy, if it does not happen, we are still always good to go to see what the next year holds, but the most important thing is that btc is strong and that is what matters.
