Actually that prediction isn't outrageous. We know bitcoin can go up $1,000 in just an hour once FOMO kicks in. And with big investors like soros coming in, it's just a matter of time before other big investors jump in.
Bitcoin has also shown the skepticals that it's here to stay with the numerous FUD news that have come out in 2018 and it's still strong.
I remember thinking it was going to die in 2010... and then again in 2012. Here we are in 2018 and it's only getting bigger.
It's stood the test of time. I can confidently say that.
Bitcoin has very strong community behind it... We can see it when people try to fork it and fail to replace it even though they fixed major flaws the legacy Bitcoin had.
