Bitcoin May Reach $91,000 by 2020
Tom Lee from Fundstrat has forecast that Bitcoin’s price could go up to $91,000 by 2020. He based his prediction on the movement of Bitcoin prices over the years.
According to the data that he collated and analyzed, there has been a trend on how Bitcoin’s price has moved, especially after a dip or correction.
The chart that Lee used is based on a logarithmic scale and not a linear one, which means that the cryptocurrency’s high and low movements would not be as apparent.
