This was seen (at the time) as quite a bold prediction. However I was WRONG! Bitcoin has had (despite all the drama) a much better year than anyone could have anticipated.

However. Here's my prediction for 2018.

By the end of 2018......

1) Coinbase will have 40,000,000 users.... Yep that right.... 40 million users.
2) The Bitcoin price will be $80,000. Yep (you've not read it wrong) that's 80 THOUSAND US DOLLARS.

Please bear in mind that I am ALWAYS conservative in how I make my predictions and could be massively wrong either way
