Bitcoin Will Die at $43

According to Joseph Carson, the chief security scientist at Thycotic, the third scenario is the most likely outcome for Bitcoin. Commenting on his position, Carson said:

                     The most likely scenario is that 
     bitcoin will die; my current valuation of 
     bitcoin is approximately US $43 as 
  opposed to the hyped and manipulated 
    valuation.

Carson envisages a point where BTC mining would cease to be profitable thus removing the incentive for miners. There is a lot a debate on what the actual cost of Bitcoin mining is, but there is as yet no consensus on the matter. Speaking on his prognosis, Carson also sad:

      Unless Bitcoin is able to become more 
    efficient at mining, and more stable 
      overall, it is likely to die. These higher 
    mining costs and the fact that more 
   retailers are failing to accept bitcoin as 
  payment – as they are unable to convert it 
as it is too expensive – will mean the end of 
  it.
