Prediction: Bitcoin Will Be Worth $5 Trillion by 2030

The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bear market finally appears to be over. Bitcoin is now up more than 40% from its summer lows, and could be headed to a price of $100,000 by the end of the year. Once it breaks through this psychologically important price barrier, the sky's the limit.
