I like that analogy between snowboarding and buying low, selling high, nice! I think BTC can break above 11k, but then the next major resistance will be around 12.5k... if it can get past that then who knows how high it will go in 2018... what do you think? So many places i'm hearing of a 50k Bitcoin at some point this year, but, i just don't see it. Either the total market cap will have to break nearly $2.5 trillion (at the current percentage market share BTC has) or Bitcoin will have to increase its dominance of percentage market share like it has in the past (which will impact on Alts and no one wants that)
