Hahaha... no there most certainly was not--at least, not to anyone who knew anything about crypto at the time. Perhaps some hucksters were saying 50k in January to pump the price, but no person in their right mind believed 50k in January was true.

Will it reach 20k? Absolutely. 50k? Perhaps by the end of 2018, but likely not until 2019. A lot depends on the duration of the current correction we are in.
