PREDICTION AND THOUGHTS
- The Market closes above $9 Trillion by year end.
- Bitcoin dominance drops below 25%.
- Bitcoin trades above $70,000.
I wish I could predict the next 1,000,000% or 100,000% coin, but that will be hard because there are some many potential coins. However, I have learnt a valuable lesson “Do your research, invest and HODL”. Let's hear your predictions for the year and any lessons learnt from 2017.
I hope this post helps your investment decisions. If you like it PLS don't forget to UPVOTE, RESTEEM and FOLLOW for MORE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.
HAVE A PROFITABLE INVESTING YEAR 2018!
