Mayer is a very reasonable guy whose words carry a fair bit of weight.
Also, Clif High has predicted that bitcoin will reach $13,000 by February 2018.
Since he made that prediction, the price has increased a few 1,000, but it still has quite a long way to go. But that does not mean that it won't or can't happen. It can ... and it will. Probably.
Thanks for the informative and well-written post. Keep up the good work, and FULL STEEM AHEAD.
