I hope that it is going to happen sooner because at the moment I can use the money.
I had similar thoughts before. But after the Bitfinex, the price could only reach $1000 in February next year.
It would still be great if price could reach that much in the 2nd month of next year, because it does not seems to be going there so soon, now the price is just crossed $600 and i feel it can just reach $800 or maybe a little less then that at the end of this year.
I think the bitcoin price could be between $800 and 900 this year. If the block size is increased, the price will be higher.
I find that very optimisc. I hope to see the price to get over 650 dollar but I a sceptic. The goal (halving) has been reached .but to some extent we can expect it to go up again but like many things there is a limit to that. And my guess is that we may approach 2017 with a price close to 650 dollar.
