Three analysts believe Bitcoin prices could climb above $20,000 by the end of 2018.

Marie-Antoinette Tichler of C2Legacy Technologies believes that BTC prices will reach $20,863 by Dec. 31, 2018.

Fred Schebesta of Finder.com believes BTC prices will reach $22,500 by the end of the year, and Joerg Molt of Satoshi School has an even bolder Bitcoin price prediction.

He believes prices will climb to $25,000.

From today’s (July 23) price of $7,694.48, that’s a potential profit of 224%.

“There are still three things on: Mt. Gox, Regulators, and Hacks. Investors don’t understand Bitcoin as money, so they leave Bitcoin as fast as they jumped in. But the real market value of BTC will grow,” Molt told Finder.com.
