Thomas Lee, Managing Partners and Head of Research at Fundstrats Global Advisors remains bullish about Bitcoin. During a conversation with CNBC, he said that digital assets are going to be relevant in a world that is increasingly digital.

At the beginning of the current year, Lee said that Bitcoin was going to be traded around $25,000 dollars by the end of 2018. However, he reviewed his predictions throughout the year. In July he said that Bitcoin was going to be worth $22,000 dollars. This prediction did not last long, in August he changed retracted and mentioned that Bitcoin would be at $25,000 dollars.

Due to the fact that after November 14, Bitcoin and the market plummetted, Thomas Lee changed his position. He said that Bitcoin could hit $15,000 dollars by the end of the year. During the interview with CNBC, he confirmed this positions.

John McAfee wrote a tweet in which he answered that in 25 months Bitcoin could reach $1 million dollars.
