Popular cryptocurrency analyst and host of the television show Cryptotrader on the American channel CNBC Ran Neuner is sure that the price of Bitcoin is "about to explode." On October 7, he wrote in his Twitter account: "I just bought Bitcoin for my parents. It's too obvious that it's about to explode... "

The ratio of Neuner to the price of Bitcoin has almost always been optimistic. In a recent interview with the hedge fund owner Michael Arrington expert said that by the end of the year Bitcoin will reach $ 25,000.

The well-known Bitcoin-optimist and former hedge fund manager Michael Novogratz, who previously assumed the price movement of Bitcoin to new historical heights until the end of 2018, revised his forecast.

The well-known Chinese OTC trader and cryptocurrency billionaire Zhao Dong believes that the next 15 months is the ideal time to acquire a cryptocurrency. According to Dong, you need to select a "quality undervalued project", buy its tokens and do not sell them for a long time.

In a note to Fundstrat Global Advisors clients, analyst Tom Lee wrote that the Ethereum is ready to change the trend to a bottom line and make a strong rally. 

"There is a cycle of depletion of sellers in the market of cryptocurrencies," said General Manager of Galaxy Digital and former hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz

The price of Bitcoin, which has been floating for a long time between $ 6,400 and $ 6,700, has finally overcome the $ 7,000 mark. 

Anthony Pompliano has significantly adjusted his forecasts regarding the market prospects of Bitcoin for the near future. 

American economist, Nobel laureate, as well as ardent cryptocurrency skeptic Paul Krugman once again criticized the cryptocurrency and its supporters.

Krugman, who previously called Bitcoin "evil", said that the cryptocurrencies are the embodiment of economic regression that discards the financial system for 300 years ago. According to him, in Bitcoin, he is confused by two things: transactional costs and "no binding".

Bitcoin is a social phenomenon, whose popularity differs by geographic regions, says Robert Schiller, an American economist, author of popular economic books, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.

"The East Coast is less into it than the West Coast," Shiller said Tuesday in a Bloomberg Television interview with Tom Keene and Guy Johnson. "Silicon Valley is really into it. This to me shows that this is not a rational response to new information." he said.

Despite the fact that Lloyd Blankfein does not own Bitcoins (as well as his investment bank), Goldman Sachs believes that critics should not ignore the future of the first and most important cryptocurrency. During a speech at the event The Economic Club of New York, Blankfein demonstrated an optimistic attitude towards the digital currency. CEO Goldman Sachs announced the possibility of a future in which Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will squeeze out official money - just like the Fiats once replaced gold and precious metals.
