I think $1000 cannot be achieved any time soon. It could be obtained this time next year. The development has slowed.
Yeah this is not possible that bitcoin will reach 1k$ this year because there is no good and fast progress in bitcoin's price. And in next year may be price will increase and reach 1000$. Though it is not a big amount if we have a look on bitcoin's previous record but now price is going down and somewhere stable between 600 $ to 650 $. We hope and wish that price will increase by the end of this year.
Yeah, it is impossible that bitcoin will come 1k in this year, we should use our commonsense that how can it possible?
Also i have never seen that big incident will be happened with bitcoin that bitcoin suddenly reached at $1000, Actually in Halving days bitcoin never reached at $1000, so we should live in reality, But you are right, we can only wish that bitcoin would be come in a high price which give us big profit.
