As bitcoin reached a multi-month low , Neuner’s latest prediction has similarly resulted in a mixed reaction with one reply sarcastically highlighting the low probability of bitcoin’s price hitting the exact mark of $50,000 on Dec. 31, 2018.
Well, the odds of it being exactly 50.000$ at 23:59 on Dec 31st are actually very slim.
