Bitcoin is About to Break $2000

As of 5:48pm Pacific Time, I see bitcoin coming dangerously close to the $2000 mark! The run-up has been crazy. It is a relatively steady plot upwards over the past year. Will it crash? Will it continue a methodical rise or will some imaginary tipping point be crossed and it shoot upwards?    

With the recent performance issues, it is hard to believe the price. We are in uncharted territory here people. 

Thoughts?
