No mate that's not possible, I think the value of bitcoin before the halving would be below $500 and after halving we can expect that the value goes above $500, but $1k that's impossible in this year I guess.
It will be hard to get to 500 dollar before the halving. We've seen so much resistance that i don't expect this to happen at al.
At most we can maybe reach to 450 USD.
You are right that is gonna be hard, but its possible for sure if you ask me, the point is that people are believing again in the bitcoin.
Look at the numbers of the people that are investing again this year, that is already a good sign.
Also the point that everyday the bitcoin community is growing is a point and also a sign the 500 dollar is in or hand reach.
I'm thinking about the opposite of that, I think the bitcoin is gonna get to the 500 dollar easy this year.
Also due to the halving it will before the halving go to a lower amount but I think the 500 dollar get reached next month already.
