My prediction wouldn't be a wild one but I expect an $8000 mark by the end of this year or back to $2000 ranges if Antpool continues to act childish which may turn some potential investors off. Weird thing is even if there are bad things that happened for the first quarter of this year, the price continued to surge.
I have high hopes that it would be the same trend for the rest of the year.
I expect the same by the end of this year. There are so many speculations saying bitcoin price will reach this amount or that amount by the end of the year. Speculations are nothing but people's hope to see what they want happened. My thoughts on this, is that the value of bitcoin would be around $7-8k by the end of this year.
