It's impossible for Bitcoin to reach $1000 this year or any other year, at least not in our life time. You missed the train. There was an innocent time when you could have made lots of money in bitcoins but those days are gone forever. Bitcoin has been ruined. It's reputation is in tatters, it's technology obsolete, it's core developers fighting each other, etc. Why would you want to pour money into a shithole?
Impossible? That is funny. Any other year would count as both in and out of our lifetime.
The train hasn't been missed at all, this is still early days!
People still make lots of money trading and holding bitcoin so just because you don't, don't hit people with that same loser stick.

OP bitcoin will reach $1000 before this year is out, it could not be anymore obvious where we are headed. I couldn't put a number on the height we will reach though but for sure over 1000.
