Bitcoin price RISE: Cryptocurrency could top RECORD levels of $50,000 in 2018, says expert

Bitcoin expert Spencer Bogart said he is confident the cryptocurrency will “evolve” and “mature” to eventually become a deep market for investors.
Mr Bogart said the Bitcoin price will rise with the help of institutional investors. He told CNBC: “Institutional investors that want to play in this market, even if they do, they are going to wait a little bit and either dip their toes in the water or just wait on the sidelines until they see the products themselves function.”
Despite competitor Ripple attracting attention, Mr Bogart said he is most focussed on Bitcoin in 2018. He said: “I can’t tell you exactly what’s going to happen with price and neither can anybody.
“But when I look out over the next 12 months, what I see is a significant supply and demand imbalance at the current price levels.
