For my opinion will not can reach this price i can beilve i will pump till 30k . And i have to know Do you believe John McAfee is right about Bitcoin hitting $500,000 in 3 years?
It’s interesting that almost all existing analysis of cryptoassets are from the point of view of fundamentals (or lack thereof). It’s often useful to look at things quantitatively instead.
So here, what we really want to understand is the probability of bitcoin reaching $500,000. There are a few ways to do that.
My way is we can assume a completely random process and take a “gambler’s ruin” perspective. What is the probability that a random process will hit $500,000 before it hits $0? Given that the price as of end 15 dec 2017 is about $23,000, we’d get $23.000/$500,000 = 5%.
John McAfee actually raised his prediction to $1 million within 3 years, if I remembered correctly. And his dick is on stake here.
Your assumptions are incorrect. Bitcoin isn't a gambling game, you cannot try to predict the probabilities of a future price by dividing the current price with the price target. Currency speculation is emotional and sometimes rational, not gambling.
Either way, I don't see BTC's potential to reach $500k/1 million this year, or even in 3 years time. I doubt an ATH will happen this year, as well. If it does it won't hit your $55k figure, that would be essentially 10x the bottom.
We're seeing markets being very stagnant in the opening months of the year which means that most likely this year will be quite sluggish with pumps littered here and there but no real direction. John McAfee said his prediction when everything was jolly good and now it's a entirely different picture.
