There is a big chance that will touch 2000$ but only you need to think is the more faster it reaches and soon it falls down. Bitcoin should increase it's price slowly because now many people start using bitcoin, once suddenly it touches 2000$ may be some people who are showing interest will not use any more due to bitcoin volatile.

the current bitcoin prices stabilized at $ 800, may require massive pump until bitcoin could reach $ 2,000 this year. but, this is a year long, there are still many possibilities to bitcoin prices rose again, and reached a price of $ 2,000. but, I doubt that bitcoin will stabilize at a high price in a long time.

In the first instance, I did not believe people when they predicted that the price would hit the $1,000 mark come 2017. I thought those were day dreamers who just had wishes. Back to early 2016, the bitcoin price was around $250 and no one could tell if it would even go higher than $400. But come 2017, the price was $1,000 and above. Therefore, I think anything is possible and the Bitcoin price hitting $2,000 this year will not be a miracle

Well, I do not know, to me in particular it seems a very high scenario, and I prefer to avoid making a statement about it, but even if it were maintained at current levels, it would already be an indication that it is a little more solid that before, and the conditions are more favorable and little by little its has been improving paulatively with the passage of time, so that where the balance is inclined there will be people who will make their own decisions taking into account his own experience to avoid any kind of surprises, what is certain is that nobody never know how high it will get or how low it can fall,so we will see where the balance is tilted.

if we have learned one thing about bitcoin in the past years is that price is not going to "leap" so high too fast. take the recent $1150 rise, price went up fast and it encountered a correction. so that is why i say the $2000 is not going to be a "leap" it will be the same slow rise that we have been seeing so far. and withing one year it is possible because a 2x rise is the norm of this rise so far.

Theres no change of touching $2000. Even now at $900 the blockchain is unable to take all the transactions and the delay is huge, imagine with a bitcoin at $2000 you had to wait DAYS to a single transaction.

I'm not sure about Kim Dotcom prediction skills, but he's not the only one who made predictions that Bitcoin could reach such a value. I have seen many experts predicting that Bitcoin could reach values even above the two thousand dollar range.

And now that you mentioned him, I realized that he raised several million dollars through BanktotheFuture, for the development of MegaUpload 2.0 and Bitcache:

This is another event that can help price this year.

It will never be long on that price. Just like what happened to $1,120 it didn't went long. But this has more chance to happen rather than those people who are speculating that bitcoin will possibly reach to $10,000 and higher. Well I hope to see the price of bitcoin to land at $2,000 for this year or else we will expect it next year.

after some bad press (China Govt banning bitcoin) and a huge panic sell this month, btc seems to be holding like a champion over 900$, that was impossible 4 or 5 months ago, I can't say I didn't feel dissapointed when the price fell once it touched 1157 but I still think there are great things to come this year, so yes I expect 2000$ and beyond

if there is something that could make bitcoin popular this year, I believe the price may reach $ 2,000. but, I think it would be very difficult, because most users will sell bitcoin bitcoin they have, when prices reached $ 1,500 bitcoin. might happen panic selling again, the same as it was then.
