Renowned Bitcoin Trader Says the Currency Will Hit $15000 in 2017. &#8211; Futurism"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><p>In Brief  A bitcoin trader with a reputation for accurate predictions  now claims the cryptocurrency will be worth $15,000 before the  end of 2017. Masterluc expects the value to continue to increase  until 2019, at which point it will top out somewhere between  $40,000 and $110,000.      <\/p>\n<p>      Late last week, the price of bitcoin rose beyond $3,500, and it currently sits      slightly above$4,200. While some are      skeptical of this steady increase in      value, according to an expert      observer,itwont be endingany time soon.    <\/p>\n<p>      Veteran trader masterluc predicts that bitcoin will be worth $15,000 before the      end of the year. He believe the cryptocurrencys current      bull run will then continue into 2019, at which point its      price will top out somewhere between $40,000 and $110,000.    <\/p>\n<p>      Masterluc has historically been adept at predicting bitcoins      future value. He was able to accurately predict in March 2013      that the crypto would enter into a bear market in November      2013, and then in May 2015, he made a prediction that proved      to be just slightly off point,missing the start of the      cryptos current surge by just two months.    <\/p>\n<p>      Masterluc isnt the only pundit expectingbitcoin to go      from strength to strength. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs      analyst Sheba Jafari predicted that the currency could reach $4,800, having previously      forecast a highof $3,691 as recently as July.    <\/p>\n<p>      Bitcoin is on a roll at the moment, and predicting when this      run will start to drop off is no easy task. Masterluc has a      history of being right in his predictions, and many experts      agree that the uptick will continue for at least a little      while longer, which could have some major ramifications for traditional      currency.    <\/p>\n<p>      Disclosure: Several members of the Futurism team,      including the editors of this piece, are personal investors      in a number of cryptocurrency markets.
