💥 $ 5,000 - the price of Bitcoin is just around the corner! 😎

TV presenter and former trader Max Kaiser expressed the opinion that in the short term the price of bitcoin will overcome the mark of $ 5,000.

In his previous forecasts, Kaiser predicted the achievement of bitcoin mark of $ 5,000 in a slightly longer term. However, after the successful resolution of the debate on the issue of scaling, the analyst suggested that investors 'optimism and consolidation of the network participants' efforts will lead to an acceleration in the growth rate of bitcoin.

If you pay attention to the current Coinmarketcap data, the idea suggests that Max Kaiser's optimistic forecast is not without common sense at all.

So, on the eve of fixing SegWit (which, according to XBT.eu, is expected today, August 8, at about 19:14 GMT), the price of bitcoin only increased over the last 24 hours by more than 6%; Over the last week, digital gold has risen in price by 21%.
