Well A lot of people right now doubting and doesn't have faith in bitcoin anymore that it can make a big come back, And a lot of investors was scare of the increasing fees on the transaction after every increase bitcoin did, And I think a lot here have heard of the lightning network that would solve that problem, But that is not implemented yet but let's just hope it really solves that issues, And I am positive that we can reach the $50,000 this year I can not tell when but this year can be a sure speculation for that value.
From the looks of today situations, getting $50,000 this year will be a big hurdle for the market. As you have mentioned, investors are really scared to pour this cash right now because of the current scalability issues that aren't resolved. Lots are complaining and expressing displeasure, you can see lots of newbies opening thread about it and to be honest we can really blame them. Yes, we are all putting all the weight on Lighting Network to really resolves all the problem. However, its not yet implemented so we might see bearish trend until such time that they are going to roll out LN as sideways. And then with the renewed interest from investors, we might see at some point in time that the price is going to $50,000. I hope that we can do it this year, but I will remain bullish as well and optimistic we can, barring all issues and FUD's.
