$60k Bitcoin in 2018? TenX Co-founder ‘Still Confident’

Bitcoin’s prolonged bear market may be giving many people the blues, but some remain staunchly bullish on the market leader for the remainder of 2018. One such bull is TenX’s Julian Hosp. 


When Moon?

Back in December 2017, when Bitcoin was at its all-time high, Hosp, president and co-founder of the cryptocurrency wallet and card start-up, predicted the market leader would reach $60,000 this year — and he’s sticking to it.

Hosp told CNBC’s Akiko Fujita at the RISE tech conference in Hong Kong:

I predicted for 2018, we’re going to see $5,000 and $60,000. So $5,000, we pretty much hit it, so let’s see if we can do the $60,000. I’m still quite confident.

To be fair, Bitcoin has yet to hit $5,000. Instead, the first and foremost cryptocurrency putting in a new yearly low at roughly $5,700 on June 24 — though, $5,000 certainly appears to be in the cards.

Despite remaining firm on his bold claim, Hosp is not blindly bullish. He acknowledges that a “massive positive event” would have to take place in order to push Bitcoin up to $60,000. One such event could be a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) — which many believe is the holy grail for cryptocurrencies — or something else “very, very positive for bitcoin.”

Of course, time is running out for a “massive positive event” to push Bitcoin into the stratosphere this year — and taking an objectively realistic view of the bigger picture suggests Bitcoin is in no way, shape, or form going to shoot the moon and triple its all-time high of roughly $20,000.

Indeed, Hosp’s prediction of $60,000 is also $35,000 more than noted permabull Tom Lee’s. The co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisor recently stated:

Bitcoin has historically traded at 2.5 times its mining costs. It’s not out of the question that it could be over $20,000 by the end of the year at fair value. […] We still think bitcoin can reach $25,000 by the end of the year or something like that.

But, before we talk about new highs, we should probably talk about new yearly lows.

How high do you expect the price of bitcoin to rise in 2018? Let us know in the comments below.
