By CCN: Bitcoin price will hit $30,000 by the end of 2019, according to Kenetic Capital co-founder Jihan Chu. In an interview with Bloomberg, he points to three bullish factors including the upcoming bitcoin halving, the disappointment of tech IPOs, and the likes of Facebook and Fidelity embracing crypto.

Chu’s $30k price target comes as bitcoin teases the $9,000 mark and ticks over a $150 billion market cap.

“Ten years out from the bitcoin story, and we are starting to see the story become a reality. and what people are really seeing now is that cryptocurrency is not going away” – Jihan Chu.
