I disagree with some of the things you say about reasons why Bitcoin is had an extremely successful year (2017) in terms of value, but also in raising awareness among people about its existence, advantages, and disadvantages. It is not true that 2017 starts with $3000, it was
only $1000 at the beginning of the year, but it was
only around $400 one year before that (2016).
The reason for this price increase was certainly not the FOMO created by the media, we can maybe say it was an effect of pre-halving&post-halving which lasted almost 2 years, until its culmination in December 2017. The correction that followed was quite normal, China ban of crypto exchanges come later, and they also ban ICO which greatly reduced the need for investment in Bitcoin.
I'd say it's pretty frivolous to forecast that the price of Bitcoin will double of today's $8000 to $16 000 in just 30 days, and that November can bring $20 000. This is not 2017, and this kind of speculation doesn't make much sense unless some billionaire plans to invest whatever he has in Bitocin - or SEC finally approves ETF.
