Bitcoin Forum

Why not? let's say there are 20 million bitcoins in existence in the future, every bitcoin is 200k, then the total market cap is 4 trillion (4000 billion), this may seem like a lot but it's actually quite modest for a global payment network system... :)

I know right  :) You never realized that before  ;)

There is one topic which pretends the price to be 1 million.
So not bad as we are in speculating debate, but maybe possible.
Generally it's impossible for now to think and we should focused to $400

ya but for that to happen people have to be willing to buy bitcoin at $200k each lol. bitcoin would need to become worlds biggest currency in order for prices to go that high.

That's wrong, they wouldn't buy one bitcoin, they would buy fractions of bitcoin.

i think 200k is still on the small side

only time will tell

we have a long way to go until we reach those levels, let's see in about 5 to 10 years how the world looks then.

by the time bitcoin reaches $1000/bitcoin we will count in mBTC (millibitcoin aka mills)

by the time we reach close to $1,000,000/bitcoin (assuming that happens) we will count in µBTC (microbitcoin (i like to call them crows, a lot of people call them bits, but i hate that name))

this is a very long shot, Bitcoin is even took quite some time reaching $350+ level what more if target is to reach $200k but who knows it may happen but definitely not in the next couple of years.

Pretty optimistic. Bitcoin has serious limitations as a global payment system.

A $4 trillion Mamet cap would equal almost thirty percent of global M0 and M1 money supply.

The current block size and transaction rate would absolutely not support this. Block chain style ledger could, but you'd be wise to consider separating the technology from bitcoin itself.

I'm super long and a big supporter, but frankly, if this happens the world is in a lot of trouble and coffee costs one bitcoin.

it could happen if whole world would use bitcoin as currency,but that won't happen anytime soon, changing to bitcoin will take lots of time

also who knows that bitcoin won't die till that moment? bitcoin can die really fast when someone would sell lots of bitcoins at same time, bitcoin would die

It wont be possible mate. It will take a lot of time. And people dont have the patience for it and that is the problem.
They are greedy and that is very bad. You can see that the value is rising slowly and that is very good. But we have just to wait for what is going to happen.

Value is derived for greater reasons than our desire for a high price. On what logical basis is bitcoin currently worth 200K? None.it has been determined by the market that a better valuation is about $420.

its not possible. there will be more alcoin for each usage and people will eventually use these coins so it ill affect bitcoins depreciation.
200K for one bitcoin wow! Scares me to death. one would actually kill once they find i'm holding one BTC in my hardwallet. I was actually happy with just $250 back then but 200K, the amount will surely help me to buy a seaside property  ;D

no no i don't think it will be ever near to that 200k dollar. Bitcoin has lots of potential but it is not the only one out there now so lots of competition going on between cryptocurrency to be and remain the best one.

I think 200k dollar is exaggerated, 1k dollar is much possible.

Well of course it is possible as there we have been already. 200k is also possible if everybody adapts bitcoin. That is one big ass if. Right now it's not looking too good.

this section of forum is supposed to be all about speculation not wishes!

That got me thinking... if bitcoin becomes so valuable and widespread, probably hacking and bitcoin theft will scalate a lot. Many of today users will likely be stolen of their BTC.

200k may be too much of a dream but 1k is too much for being pessimistic, i can say that the right spot should be 10k, as a right prediction for the next years

Beyond optimistic, into the realm of fantasy fiction. Fundamentals are all wrong, internal strifes and wrong headed leadership, competition from technically superior altcoin(s), etc, too many reasons for bitcoin to go above 1k, let alone 200k.

Bitcoin is never going to become a global currency with the market cap of every country.  Could you really see it becoming worth that much, with most of the rich people simply being ones that had a single coin?

It's alternative form of money, just like gold, stocks, etc... but it's not going to take the world over completely. 

I think this will never gonna happen, if you are thinking this you are far from the earth in my opinion.
This just another bs post if you ask me, its so unrealistic.

This is a total dream but to be honest I would cash out 95% or more of my stash way before we got/get to 200,000 USD bitcoin's.

i think this is just a dream, how can you thinking like that 200k in the future if bitcoin reach 10,000$ many people will sell their coin to be a new millionaire. so keep you dream high, i will pray for your.

Same here, I think I would sell 75% of all my coins if it was really priced at $200K. Unfortunately this doesn't even happen in my dreams. I have only had a dream once where Bitcoin was priced at $1000.

It will be just a dream and happen not at anytime its just too unrealistic, they highest amount the bitcoin will ever reach is maybe around the 10k maximal.
The price will never get higher then 10k and its even still has to prove itself if it will even will go to this amount in the upcoming years..

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img633/6498/RAReuD.jpg Say It AGAIN ... when the bitcoins only cost 2 USD ?

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img903/5932/Suzhvq.jpg See you .. . after the effects of the halving (october/november 2016).

oh no, they don't ... at the edge, we have strong enterprise that they convert fiat money on bitcoins freely and ... rapidly.

you can't use regulation over bitcoin community.
it's like rocks in a river.

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img903/6632/1DB13U.gif

I'm happy. thus i am a multi millionaire. Of course not now but 30 years later. it's not so bad

Do you see 200k in 30 years?

Definitely by 2020-2030,when bitcoin will slowly become more and more close to the cap.

that's unrealistic and will probably never happen. i am already happy if we manage to see the price reach a few $k at some point in the future. in order to do that we need a lot new money coming into bitcoin and we need to see the demand increase significantly. if that doesn't happen, we can forget seeing a price of a few $k. every person who's thinking the bitcoin price will reach $200k needs a reality check. let's first get to $1000 again, and after that we'll start talking again.

be optimistic is very good but again we must see the fact because we even didn't see prices back again to $1000 and how could that possible bitcoin prices will be reach to $200k and i think this is impossible

this is not optimism it is called day dreaming.
especially since OP is just throwing out idea without a proper reason.
bitcoin is good, but it is not going to be adopted by every single person on the planet. so 200K is impossible even if it reaches the mass adoption stage the price will be around 5K

200k per bitcoin.. well i think is just a dream maybe it will happen but honestly that price is impossible and i think even we dream in $3000 is impossible.
Well just lets hope it will happen in the future..

that's right. even to reach $1.000 for one bitcoin, it's still hard, but don't lose hope. whatever can happen and don't hope too much because 200k is too high, seriously

This not gonna happen look at how slow the market price is going up 200k is not reachable at all in my opinion.
The fact is that 10k is maybe even the maximum the bitcoin can ever going to reach but 200k that is just too much, its so unrealistic.

Yes mate, that is true, we cannot expect that higher price of bitcoin in near future, as it seems to be impossible and unrealistic value to achieve, we should be practical and accept the reality.

\

Yeah simply not possible that price is too high to expect as I think $10k would be the maximum bitcoin can achieve in future nothing above it, and if it does then it would be a miracle.

Reaching $1000 is one thing, but maintaining a price of at least $1000 will be the biggest challenge for the Bitcoin price so far. For that to happen we need a huge load of buy support and a solid demand at that time. Without that it will probably take years to reach that price level.

This is possible but this should be proportioned with time. So if you're talking about 10years after, the probablity is 10% if 50 years then 50%. That's how I think it is.

This very high price to expect which seems to be impossible, if it reaches there then I would get retired from work and start enjoying my life.

As I said this should be proportioned with time

It depends on how many people will want to have Bitcoin, how much Bitcoin will they want (and put in cold storage). If the numbers get big, the price has to rise accordingly. The sky can be the limit.

There are voices that even tell that one day the point will be moved 'to the right' to make it look more affordable.

we observed that technology is rising so fast this past years, and I think if this will continue we will develop a technology era. Where in this case I confidently conclude that bitcoin value will be proportion on this time if the technology is also give a very big impact in our life

You are right that it can rise to a high amount but I think 200k is just too much and I even think everyone here would agree it with me.
The bitcoin could reach a big amount with the halving but I think it will be max at 1k or a little bit more, and 200k is just unrealistic without any doubts this will never happen.

agree bitcoin is never become a global currency but bitcoin is alternative for who want send money fast just in a hour you can send money to you friend or family in other countries.

When bitcoin gets used by most of the people, even if it does't get global acceptance it can be considered a global currency. As suggested it will be the best alternative for the dollar or some other local currency.

yes this is possible once 200k dollars worth 400 dollars these days:)

$200k per coin is a very high amount and I don't think bitcoin will hit that high.

Even if it does go to $200k per coin it won't be used as a regular currency.

It can worth 200k cents not dollars which means somewhere at 2,000 usd at the moment, i highly doubt that bitcoin will go so much high, just imagine market cap !!! It would be 3 trillion dollars +

You never know what can happen with the value. But you need to be realistic and that is not realistic I think. Because that is a lot of money and that is so much that it is impossible.
Of course it will be more worth later in the future. But that will take a really long time to have a high value because it is rising very slowly.

You're right, but you should replace keyword Bitcoin with keyword Ethereum, maybe even IOTA Token ;)

I think if some oil producing nation start accepting bitcoin for oil export,Bitcoin price will be $1 million in a jiffy.I guess IS of Iraq can make headings in this way

Not much spectacular happened around the previous halving (from 50 to 25 BTC block reward). Why would that be different now?
The "problem" is that halvings are a few years apart, and by then people have forgotten the previous halving. The effect of every halving gets smaller anyway, as less and less bitcoins are left to be mined.

I cant believe it, 200k dollars that was huge amount . Unfortunately we will wait  for another 200 hundred years before it happens cause its too imposible

Technology is not the only thing to take into account when investing in this.
A lot of whales with a lot of money to invest are old and don't trust technology.
Technology can be great but it can also fail. Bitcoin is made and maintained by developers, which are human: a mistake is always possible.
Big names work on quantum computer as we talk. If that comes to reality, the SHA-256 Bitcoin relies on will be cracked easily and Bitcoin will become worthless.

Don't take me wrong, I also wish BTC rise a lot. But let's get more pragmatic on this, mkay?

When that happens the financial world has much biggr problems than just Bitcoin being compromised! I wouldn't worry about things that don't exist.

I found a discussion topic about it: Quantum computers and Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133425.0) (2012)
Short summary: Your private key is safe as long as your public key is safe. In other words don't re-use addresses ever.

I'm not worried. I was just telling that the time span to reach 200k is not infinite and depends on too many factors.
Let's be just moderately optimistic  ;)

since dreaming it's free, yes we can dream about this, but sincerely i don't believe bitcoin will ever reach 200.000$/coin

200k?

Ok, whose bet will be higher?  ;D

bitcoin is indeed just an alternative to fiat currencies, but for some reason people still think it will replace the dollar and become the main currency of the world. bitcoin at this point is nothing more than a tiny dot compared to what the market cap of the dollar, euro, and even gold is. people should stop with dreaming about unrealistic things and put their focus on real things.

If that would actually happens then bitcoin might be universally legally accepted currency. And there are fair chances that world will have a single currency in future and that would be bitcoin.  :D

I dont think that it will happen, that is almost impossible and very hard to get it because it is a very high value.
We all hope later of course that it will be more worth but it wont be that high or maybe after 20 years or something.

No mate even after 20 years I don't think that this value is achievable as it is too high to expect, I think maximum we can expect is around 10k not more then that.

Indeed the 200k is just too much, its unrealistic and not possible in the lifetime for the bitcoin in my opinion.
I do not think this is even possible when the bitcoin is doing it well, its just not reachable.

we will definitely have to wait for a really long time in order to see such number in price because now it is nearly impossible in my opinion so it will take about 3 years for this to happen

after 20 years i believe that it will be highly achievable as more people will put their money into bitcoin and the whole blockchain technology

It is very unpredictable to say. As you told we can dream but it might come true but has to wait very long i suppose. It is very difficult to say because when the price gets higher also it drops sometime because of which we cannot say any average figure of it. But  nothing harm in having the right expectation.

If Bitcoin reaches 10K, I will be happy. That is still a 25x growth from here. No mean feat, even if it does take time.
However, that doesn't stop us from dreaming.  :)

Yes that's true nothing wrong in dreaming and who knows what future holds for us as bitcoin is so unpredictable that it might reach to that value in future. ;D

Dreams should be realistic mate, or dream something which is achievable, and looking at the present price it is difficult to imagine that bitcoin can ever reach there.

Easier said than done since the majority of the newcomers are dreaming about insanly high price levels. Some times I am not sure if they believe their own nonsense predictions or if they are trolling. Those who do believe in their own nonsense will end up facing disappointment after disappointment. People are really weird. Common sense is all they need, bit it's not there.

This speculation is the only thing that's like. I'll go to other planet within 5 seconds. It is not possible today because even an equipment wasnt invented yet

I doubt if I can see that in the near future, but maybe when almost half of the people living on this planet are AIs, then this thing is possible, or when inflation hits USD.

That is hard to predict. But I dont think it will happen because it will be more worth later of course but it will not rise to that high.
That is quite impossible I think, That is a lot of money and otherwise everyone will be rich and that is not going to happen.

Yeah, that's too far from happening..It will take more than our lifetime before it happens..But thinking about how long will bitcoin survive, still have a doubt that bitcoin would live very long, it won't be forever, it's almost impossible for the price to reach that high..

Yes indeed. I think it will have a long time to go, but it is almost impossible to let that happen, because it is a high value.
And you can see now that the value will be more of course in the future, but it wont be that high later.

It will be not that worth later in the future. The value is too high and that is the problem. You never know what can happen later also.
And that is the bad thing from Bitcoin, that you never know what will happen in the future, it is impossible to predict.

200k is not going to happen. If you think of that then $ is dead.

will dollar wouldn't be dead if bitcoin reached such big heights though surely less people would use it and the financial system would be a bit different then

Aldi I believe it's really possible because the interest in bitcoin will grow over time what means the price of it will be pumped at a very fast pace in the future

It looks to be a value that is out of the human imagination. Only time has the ability to answer such a predictive question.

The price increase is too much. I think bitcoin will not reach the price of 200k dollars in a short time, the same as waiting for a comet that appeared during the 350 years or so, maybe we'll never see the bitcoin prices rose as high as it is, even gold has never had such a high price

You are right, the fact is that it first still has to proof itself with the halving, maybe the price will not even go to 1k anymore these days.
So its all unpredictable, although one thing is sure and that is it will never hit the 200k.

yes it will never hit into 200k if you see but theres a chance that the price will hit in 1k after halving or november again just like last year 2015 november that the price hits 500 above and goes down again.. we don't know the flow if price of bitcoin and we don't know what will happen in the future because we are not a fortune teller to say that the price will rise 200k..  its always depends in demand and supply..
so this comming may june you will see the price will change because its nearly halving end..

it will take a lot of time till the bitcoin will be able to reach such huge prices, i think we will have to wait for about 30 years more in order to see such difference

if the bitcoin will reach such heights we will surely see less people using fiat what means that the whole economical system will be changed

Its just unrealistic how people think this can let this happen the halving will maybe let the price go to a amount of 5000 dollar max.
But 200k is just going to far its unrealistic and will never be possible anytime soon.

the block halving won't even result in the price going to $1000 for what it seems. i advice to all people that it's better to wait till we reach $1000 first, before talking about insanely higher price levels. as you say, it's unrealistic.

No it wouldnt.

Because the deficit would actually try to match up so it can be possible to be used finally if it ever caught up that way.

But the obvious of seeing this happen in my life time wont happen unless there is some serious buy orders with a bigger gradual build each month showing this.

i believe it is surely possible to happen in like a couple years but not too soon as bitcoin is still in its first development years

i hope that bitcoin will not start losing its popularity and it will make people a lot of money by changing the financial system we have now

you think we will have another mt.gox moment?

Where we saw the price sky rocket to $1k over few days. I mean its possible right? if a exchange does bad things.

That is a really high value mate. It will not happen that fast, but of course it will be possible, only you dont know how long it will takes.
And that is always with a currency, that you never know what is going to happen with it.
You can see now that the price is not even rising. So you must wait a very long time to see the value that high.

Bitcoin can not be that much worth. That is impossible, because you already know that the value will not rise that fast in the future.
I even think that it wont even rise after the halving, but many people are hoping for it and that is the bad thing.

it's definitely possibe, but at this point there isn't a second leading exchange as mtgox was back then. every exchange was following the price of mtgox. nowadays there isn't really a leading exchange anymore.

Never say never my friend.
Just because you think this is not possible doesn't mean it won't happen sometime.
Derivates, bonds, stocks, real estate, precious metals... just to name a few sources where just 1% of each would be enough to give Bitcoin an incredible price increase.

200k in dollars, I think people are joking around here, we will never com close to this number if I'm honest.
200k is just way too much for the bitcoin itself, I even think the max of the bitcoin price can be at its highest point ever be around 20k maybe.
But 200k its just too much and first the bitcoin still has to proof itself to people all over the world and it has to proof itself with the halving and the price that is upcoming.

Why not? OP has his computation on how it will happen.. But it is too futuristic and most probably is going to happen after this lifetime...Though the price would really increase, There is no way that it will happen very soon and be enough to be a payment network system that OP is thinking..

The halving could just double the price to around $800 range. Then the block size increase could double it again.

1 bitcoin = 200k dollars? that's ridiculous.. we can't even cross the $500 this past months after the two big news dropped the price..If the price reaches that high, probably many of the hoarders would immediately dump their coins and the price would also automatically be dumped to a low price...So it might be possible, but might not be for a long time..

Yes, that's when Satoshi moves his stash... I think realistically around $1000 in 2-3 years, no more then that.

This may never happen in the near future, but I predict Bitcoin at $500 by the end of 2016.
I just hope that the Bitcoin surge happens again (BTC@$1000 a few years ago) later on

Something in the low to mid $xx,xxx range per Bitcoin would be possible in the best case scenario, anything higher is (almost) impossible.

The dream!

I`ll have that face realistically when I`m buried into the ground by that time lol.

Well predicted, the price may move to $1000 when few years get rolled as indicated by above mate. Something growing to $200k is just imagination.

This thread speculation is taken from the pages of a sci-fi book. As far as I know Bitcoin will never reach $10.000 mark during our life time.
Don't get me wrong - I would love to see that amazing price grow, but please be more realistic about your assumptions of future BTC price.

If the dollar collapses, and the US has to borrow with bitcoin because nobody trust the USD, the bitcoin will be worth millions of dollars.

Yeah that's right, though I am not losing hope, but after 2020, if $10,000 didn't happen, then I think the price would be staying this way for long, I love to see that price too, but with todays price movement, it would be even hard to reach $1000 by the year end... what more is the $200,000=1 bitcoin?

It is quite difficult for the bitcoin price to be $10,000 in 2020. But if the number of bitcoin users increases by 10 times, the price will be $40,000.

Why? Most bitcoin users own only a very small amount of bitcoin, more small users won't change the price much.
If investment funds start buying bitcoin it could go up a lot with only a few more users. Investment/pension funds is where the money is, and you need big buyers to make the price go up that fast.
I doubt this well happen anytime soon though. Besides, you don't need a fund to buy bitcoin, you can do that without the middleman.

This would be nice but it is not happening any time soon. $200,000 is just to high for now we will have to wait a long time for the price to be that high. And even then we are not sure if the price will be that high.

As long as few people holds a lot of bitcoin,bitcoin price can never go beyond $1000,Almost 80-90% of bitcoin is owned by only few people including Satoshi,the rest have fractions.If bitcoin is distributed equally among lots of people,its price can reach $10000

Large holders benefit greatly from increased bitcoin value, so they won't crash the price.

on top of that most large holders are the inventors and exchanges or companies that rely on bitcoin to be successful. They won't crash the price either. And early adopters won't either.  

And not to mention all those guys who bought lots of bitcoin early on but lost their wallets because bitcoin wasnt worth anything back then.

I don't see why having a few people hold a lot of bitcoin makes bitcoin worth less, it's simply not true.


there aren't that many users yet, and in 4 years the amount of users can easily double or even double twice. That should have a large impact on the price.

Back in the days where the price reached the $1000 barrier for the first time the coin spread was even worse than now. And it still touched and went over $1000 at that time.

$200k value wouldnt make sense lol.

So basically a holder of 2 bitcoins is already half a millionaire? Like what? lol.

$400k just like that.. and 2020 isnt that far away.. thats only 4 years.. lol.

Give us some properly laid out reasons why not other than just because you don't believe it. And the OP didn't mention 2020.

yup i was very eager to see that wonderful prise rise, reaching 1000 dollars is tough this year but no hope that it will be 200k dollars, may be in future it can happen if bitcoin users multiply by 20 times.

That will not happen so fast as you can see you see that the value is not high enough now you can see that the value is now stable for a long time.
And that can be bad for the most people because they want to make some profit with it.

I think it is possible for the price to be around $5000 in 2020. That will be after good mass adoption.

$200,000 for 1 bitcoin I think is impossible even if we reach 2050 still bitcoin wouldn't reach that value. But $5k value would be possible after a few years. But still, we can't predict what will happen with bitcoin in the near future but if 1 btc would reach $200k then thanks to it we'll become a millionaire.

I'm sure it would never happen, $ 200k is a number that is too much for bitcoin today, it can change the world economic system, although I do not understand how bitcoin change it all

It will only change the financial system when governments are replacing it for their old (corrupt) financial system.

As long as that doesn't happen nothing will change. And I don't think it will ever happen.

So we will probably never find out what the real impact of Bitcoin on the financial system will be.

It has to happen, if Bitcoin lives for more than 20 years it has to reach around there, it will either be a lot or it will not be at all, that's what satoshi said ant it makes sense, its only 6 billion marketcap now, with a potential to absorb money from a lot of places eventually reaching a trillion dollars per marketcap, and hat's around 300k+ dollars per Bitcoin or more.

A lot of people making pessimistic long erm goal prizes are noobs that don't understand the potential.

Yeah, its something very high and an unrealistic price to reach even if entire population use bitcoin as their primary source for their transaction as well regular purchases.

In economics, M0 represents physical money such as cash and coins. The amount of M0 money supply in the world is around 5 trillion USD. If this money went into Bitcoin, 1 bitcoin would be worth around $250,000. And if you consider that M1 money supply is around 30 trillion, and M2 money supply is probably around 100 trillion, the numbers can get quite crazy.

The US debt is 20 trillion dollars. If that is represented by the bitcoin, the bitcoin price will be $1m each.

Much depends on what it might become. I think there's more potential in the store/ transfer of value than as an everyday currency but that's just me. That being the case there's probably more potential for a large price.

and that's not even including all the less liquid assets like gold, stocks, bonds and real estate.

Perhaps it will be realized in a very long time hope the bitcoin as a tool of major transactions.

it is a very big price. I think it is impossible for a bitcoin. 200k too much. yet all remains unpredictable, anything can happen in bitcoin. because bitcoin is difficult to predict.

200.000 dollars . Are you kidding me ? Ir is very huge amount of money of every bitcoin. If one bitcoin is be equal to 200k dollars, bitcoin will be the superior currency rather than other currency.

this is just OP's thought. not real. not even possible for bitcoin to achieve 200,000 dollar price. if bitcoin reach only 1000$ in this halving. it will also become an big achievement for bitcoin.

Yeah its taking hard time to  reach to $500 so expecting that it will reach  to 200k seems to be the waste of time and unrealistic value to achieve for bitcoin.

Not to forget this is a time slice view (of what year ?)
Now go and model this with historic fiat deflation rate.... 6 Mio USD in 20 years is just a normal house value.

Yes and I don't think that bitcoin can achieve that high value in future, as its something out of the reach and never possible to achieve it.

maybe this will happen someday, by then i imagine i would be too old to be able to use the money for anything other than keeping me in my nursing home until my end of days.

For all who like the scientific aproach to this question and able to extract the final result I share this paper here.

http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0133678

Pls feel free to discuss further on that.

Well, that's true, we will be very old when the price reaches 200k...or probably before reaching that price bitcoin is not that popular anymore...But who knows...

Maybe it will be true but its a long decades before we see that the price of bitcoin reach 200k each.. But for now we need is real price and actual price so that we can easily make a profit if we decide to buy more bitcoin to make more profit with bitcoins right now..
And i think if we break the price 500 before block halving i think the result will be more increase and reach 1000 value around 700-900..

Lol why everybody is so pessimistic here ?

So many of you say bitcoin will never go higher then 2k$ or something ? So basicly most of you say Bitcoin will fail, right ? Then why are you wasting your time here ?

To be a real global currency Bitcoin has to grow at least to high 5 digits .   For example, how you want to trade real estate with bitcoin with such a low market cap ?

95% of the people here don't know anything about how the market works. if the price goes up a few bucks people get excited and say the price will reach $1000 this year. and when the price goes down a few bucks people start to panic and think it will go to very low $300's. there are only a few members here that are realistic in their analysis. others are nothing more than a joke.

Some people believe it has the potential for growth and therefore are attracted to that market.

Yes but even with that there is no way it will reach 200k. At best maybe 2k on a period of 2 years.
For sure not anything bigger then that.

and the funny thing is that those people who have a realistic view on bitcoin get laughed at and told "get realistic"

i think it is really possible to reach such big numbers in the future because a lot of people will start buying bitcoins when they will see that people adopting it really fast i hope one day this price will be reached

Bitcoin looks very promising at present.Prices are going up by day it seems it will reach $1000 before halving.Better we store as much as possible till then

i must admit that the price is really promising at the moment though anything might happen in the future and we might even lose money so i doubt that it is really possible for the price to grow that much

Price will not fall in next couple of months, it will continue to rise and its all halving effect that we have started to feel now, we can expect very good price at the time of halving.

Take away $1000 and replace it with $700, and you have a far more likely estimate.

If this increase is being caused from investment due to the halving, it speaks volumes about how investors believe the market is going to behave, and, albeit unlikely, $1000 may not be beyond reach. If we cross $600 before the halving (Two or three months ahead), then there might be a chance that w can get close to $1000. If we can't cross $600, though, it won't happen.

We have to be realistic and that value is not realistic for Bitcoin itself, it will be of course perfect if it can reach that value but that will not happen soon and that is the problem.
It will maybe only reach the $500 in the end of the year and we have to deal with it and that is all.

That value is not realistic in 5 years. But it could happen in 10 to 20 years. The mass adoption will make that happen.

Everyone who has invested into bitcoin obviously beleives that there will be growth, or at least hopes there will be but its very hard to deny that some of the numbers that are thrown about are ludicrous .

That is right. $200,000 is possible, it will just take some time to reach that level, maybe a few decades.

Not that it goes to $200,000 but definitely it won't fall to $200, we can expect very high profits. Those people who don't have beliefs in bitcoin just don't invest here, people are more here who love bitcoin the most hoping they can earn the most. I am one among them.

Who are we to say anything about the value of bitcoin? They can definitely reach $200,000 given the right amount of time and the adoption to nearly literally everything. However, by 'the right amount of time', I meant probably around a few decades, assuming that block chain does not collapse and no alt to become better than bitcoins.

obvious, there is no way and impossible to reach 200k. if talking realistically about bitcoin price not more than $5k.

I stated this too in my previous post back then. This is how people speculate what will be the price next day, next week, next month and in the following years.

 Price day to day movement as a basis for what price will be is technically not a factor to have a quite proper speculation of the price.

If it will reach that high value than there will be a lot of people that is rich but that is only possible when the price is going to jump and that will not happens fast.
The only thing that you must do is if you want to sell it with profit that you have to wait a long time until the value will be more.

Maybe in far future something like this can happen. But in next 10, 20 years for sure no. We need to realize that bitcoin will have many more obstacles before it become global currency in real meaning of that word. We all see how bitcoin is growing and it's not smart to rush in things so early.

200 k for 1 BTC is just a dream for now, to make that dream come true we need to focus on 500 $ first, then 700 $, 900 $... with small steps we can go much further, smart and wise steps are much better then running.

If we see bitcoin on 700 $ stabile before new year that will be big success for bitcoin and bitcoin community.

I think this is possible in the future but I don't know if we do still exist that time.

For me, only $1,000 is the most possible price of bitcoin could be.

200k value is not possible and its not worth for a bitcoin.. and i think the price that we will see if we are old i think 3k value is enough for bitcoin if each country and store are accepting bitcoin as payment.. this is the future.. and this is my speculation for bitcoin.. and im sure it will happen..

Last point is right. It has the potential to grow but not that to those extent as quoted. Surely bitcoin will rule the digital currency network but won't go big to such a big price.

of course, $1000 is very possible, because in 2013 we have reached $1000. but for now hard to reach $1000 again, so to touch 2k 3k or 5k it takes dozens of years I think

Yeah, that is very possible. Especially under a hyperinflating currency base and several debt crises, it shouldn't be long before bitcoin proves its value and jumps over 200k per coin.

This may never happen in the near future, but I predict Bitcoin at $1000 by the end of 2016.

thats pretty good, by this year end bitcoin price to be $1000 will be a good news for its users, as of halving price is increasing and how will it goes to $200, that is impossible and if it happened it will be fair as we can buy some coins and we are sure that during halving price will increase at that instant we can sell it and make good amounts of money.

$1000 by the end of 2016 is very possible. It is just 110% higher than the current price. Halving alone can achieve that.

That is a lot of money and that can be not possible around this time and that is because the value is not even rising now around this time and that is already a huge problem.

The most people are also hoping that the value will be more worth so they can sell it with some profit and that would be perfect for them but you never know when it will reach that value.

We are not even close to $200,000 per Bitcoin so I do not even know when this is going to happen. Maybe it will happen in the future, many people would be happy because they know that they can make allot of money is the price will be this high.

I think this is nearly impossible. Actually im not dreaming of this price $200k. $2k or even $1k per 1btc would be enough for me. As long as the price dont get lower than $1k.

Well that is really insane to think that price will reach $200,000.

Im a bitcoin believer but not to the point that I will expect to reach it to $200,000.

It has a major consequences in economy if that will happened.

i would say that it is way too early to such a large price, 200k$ is a lot, so of course we won't see that early as bitcoin is not that popular yet

we can see this price after let's say 35 years, and only if bitcoin will be more and more popular, so price would be higher too, and of course more stores would accept them too

I wish that this was true but we all know that this is not happening any time soon. That price is just way to high I cannot even imagine the price to be that high.
But it would be good for the future if the Bitcoin price was 200k that would make me rich.

It will not happen in 1 to 5 years. But it will happen in 10 to 20 years. The monetary policy of Bitcoin is very transparent.

If you really believe the price to go up to $200,000 in 10-20 years, then why don't you collect all your money and go all in right now?

Forget using your own money - if you really believe that, borrow as much as you can, lever yourself to the hilt and buy every coin you can....... just dont come crying when they foreclose on you and you are destitute in the street.

I think that value is too high to achieve and if it reaches there then that would be the best value to hold and everyone will become millionaire in future.

That could happen that the early adopters like us can be millinaires. But it depends on the mass adoption of the coin.

200k would be insane. Maybe once mining is obsolete in 100 years? who knows

Bitcoin will not have that high value and I think Bitcoin will only reach in the end of the year some $500 and thats it.
We have to deal with it and wait a longer time if we want to make some more profit but we cant control it and that is bad.

No, we should hit 6 figures in the next 10 years. The marketcap is insanely small for Bitcoin right now, the power of Bitcoin is on the trillions of dollars for a marketcap, which would put the price at more than 100k dollars. This is EASILY achievable in the next 10 years as options to move money outside of the system become practically impossible besides Bitcoin.

I can't find any realistic statement about why people expecting very high price such as few thousands of dollars or even more.. I mean can we really expect bitcoin will only have rise and rise and nothing more?

It may sound insane now. But think about what Bitcoin can be used for.And compare it tiny $7 billion market cap with the gold and silver markets, real estate, bonds, derivatives, art (paintings), old collective vintage cars and so many more.
If Bitcoin could just take a bit of each of those markets 200k is not insane anymore.

Bitcoin could become a completely new asset class.This is crypto asset/crypto property!

Only 1% of the gold above ground which is ~$7,8 trillion in Bitcoin would push it to a new ATH of over $4000/BTC!

Of course this would process will need several years or even decades and therefore won't happen over night.

Or for instance 1% of offshore stored money which isn't taxed would give each BTC a value of over $2 million!!!
Panama papers was just a tip of the iceberg!

I don't think that value is ever possible  to achieve, and if you think that it can achieve then you are wasting your time, it is unrealistic value to achieve.

Bitcoin rise was conditioned by adoption and usage, that is why price rise from nothing to 1000$, earlier. But i'm not convinced we have almost doubled number of users with twice more money invested in bitcoin wich is necessary for futher rise. But for pump we don't need nothing except whales and hype caused by block halving.

5k * 21 million is only a market cap of 105 billion, which is very low

Even if bitcoin becomes a global currency this value is impossible to achieve, bitcoin can never be a $2m coin at any point of time.

When it becomes a global currency and is equivalent to the US national debt, its price will be at least $1million each.

I even think $10,000 is the price also unrealistic. so how with 200k dollars lol. it really unrealistic.

Ok then please explain why it can not achieve that value!
And why the hell you see Bitcoin only as a currency? It's why more than that!!! And when you understand that and see all the other things what Bitcoin can be used and be good for, then you realize what markets these are Bitcoin could take a piece off.
Hell there will be use cases and businesses we have no clue about right now because it's too early.
Or have you thought in 1995 about youtube, Netflix, wikipedia, twitch, facebook, twitter, google? No of course not!
But there are people, developers out there who think outside the box and have lots of imagination and creativity.They are just waiting for one or the other new implementation to the protocol to make their ideas become reality.And one of those startups might be the trigger for a Bitcoin major breakthrough, just like the world wide web or email was for the internet in the 90s!

yeah, i never like these gigantic numbers for bitcoin price either. all of them look so unrealistic to me. you can argue about the adoption and do a lot of math to prove $10K, $20K,... but i think all of it is irrelevant until there is real mass adoption and a couple of years pass after the adoption.

As you can see now you see that the value is going to be more worth indeed slowly now and that would be perfect for the most people but you dont know what will happen with the value.
And that is because there are still a lot of people that is getting more greedy so they want to make profit in a fast time.

Price is moving each day so worthy, in this situation reaching $1k is already in vain, I can't even imagine this high value in future too.

It is not going to that high and the reason is because it is stable for a long time so it needs also time to reach that high value otherwise it will be no possible for you and that can be bad for you.
But you need also some patience if you want to make some profit with it and that can be bad for you.

all the gold in the world together is worth $7,521,837,389,666 and some people claim gold is way underpriced right now.

How many people do you actually know that own gold? (not including the few milligrams of gold in electronic devices or things like wedding rings)

how many people actually use gold as a currency?

if we assume bitcoin can get at least he same market cap as gold, that would already put us at $358,183 per bitcoin.

That's not even including the fact that bitcoin is more than just a store of value alone, and can actually be used as a currency, and a very good currency as well.

t's not a big stretch to believe bitcoin can easily get into 6 digits or even 7 digits. 8 digits may be a stretch but even that is not impossible.

We could dream about this because this will of course never happen its just impossible if you ask me.
The price can rise to a high amount but this is just too much....

It can be possible but we all know that it is way to soon for something like that to happen at this moment. Maybe in the future this is going to come out but definitely not now.

That's not how it goes why would one bitcoin be 200k if he reach the top. i dont think he will ever be as
such a hight. You know money rolls so are bitcoins he will get a stable value.

If the bitcoin double every two years, in 20 years, it will be 1000 times of present value, or $400,000.

If one bitcoin will be 200k each the bitcoin will stop existing because everybody is going to sell their coins of course. And
that will be defiantly the end of the bitcoin.

if the bitcoin will be that price there will be allot of rich people on the earth. There are
some guys who has hundreds of bitcoins if they sell them by that time they are very rich.

It's impossible expect bitcoin price double every two year like now we are already closer with halving but the price still stay around 450$. ::)

as you can see there are several people who think he will ever hit the 200k each bitcoin but i doubt that.
Don't think he will ever hit that amount that is so big how many people will get rich if it happens. quiet allot can i tell you.

We have to be realistic guys and of course it will never reach that high value because it is now not even rising so that is already bad enough and if that is going to happen we are all rich.
So Bitcoin will also not have after that a value anymore so that is really bad.

I don't think this is realistic approach but is a day dream.I will say a price with stability at above 500 $ is much more better than huge pumps and dumps.I expect a huge rise in coming weeks in halving phase but this is too high to believe that it can ever happen.

If the bitcoin will reach the 200k each i will sell all of my coins. because as you can see 200k each that is quiet allot and i dont think the price of the bitcoin will ever be higher then that amount. So i wil sell all of my coins on that moment.

Your calculation is perfect but your thinking doesn't seem to be realistic. You can't expect bitcoin to get doubled every year, also something to be around $400000 is unreachable in my opinion.

Where would you get it doubling every year for 20 years? History does not show this is likely and 400k is not happening.

200k is not happening, lets get to 2k with a shed load of support then talk about the next milestone  :D

Why is there these unwanted speculations everywhere?? It is not possible for BTC to grow so fast.. maybe $1000 but not $100K... Maybe in distant future, but not in next two three decades... 8) 8)

I agree with you that this high value is never possible for bitcoin to achieve in future, this is a unrealistic value that we are dreaming off, its better to stay grounded and accept the reality.

I strongly disagree with that opinion. if the increase was $ 1,000 may still be understandable, but $ 200k it very much, I think bitcoin will never arrive at that price. bitcoin is indeed very good, but I guess the price is never more than $ 100k even $ 10k, because it could change anything, even causing the economic crisis

i love you. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img910/6938/i9FdFa.jpg

I hope what you are saying gets true, as its really difficult to predict the future price of bitcoin and we really don't know how long it will survive.

We all will love him in case that speculation comes true... However, it is very unlikely that it will...It is not possible for a cryptocurrency to grow so fast..

Exactly and we cannot expect that high price in future and if your are hoping for that then you are surely wasting your time as its never gonna happen.

wait for the surge of gold ... and then, the next is bitcoins.  :D

Google will become homeless haah!! Serves them right for snooping around other people's personal life.. :3

Seems to me someone is drinking again. What I do understand is the hope and anticipation for the halving and perhaps the future of bitcoin. What I don't understand is how you over-exaggerate it. It gives many people a totally wrong idea of bitcoin

The chance is really low that it can reach and if that will reach that high value than there will be a lot of people that is going to use Bitcoin and they will be all rich and that happens not that easy.
Because the price of Bitcoin is not even rising now so you can wait a long time until it will become that value.

I use to believe bitcoin will be huge in the future too. I'm not that convinced anymore when it comes to that.
The devs just lost its creativity and almost made the coin useless apart from paying and gambling. After halving it may plummet down.

That price is impossible to achieve in future too, even if the market cap gets huge, that value is something out of the reach of bitcoin.

Even the chance is really low for that price, we don't know what will happen soon once the demand of bitcoin become really high. But it is a good favor to all of us if the price of bitcoin did reach to that price, even not that price but higher than $1000.

This would be really something of the price per Bitcoin was 200k, if this happens and I am still making using of Bitcoin I will sell all my coins at once. But to be realistic we no that we are way to far away for this to even think about it.

Of course its way too far and may never going to happen in the future. Its probably going to be the opposite due to the new and better coin with no issues.
IT may not even reach $600 this halving, that's what i believe because users will use their btc to buy ETH during halving.

The Ethereum has also a good brand. The Ethereum.org is a good website, you can find many useful information there.

It would be good for the users if the price would be that high but I doubt it that it will ever be that high even in the future. I am just focusing on what the price is right now and the halving and nothing else.

i think that people would surely make a lot of money if the price went so high, and i think that will go that up

i hope that bitcoin price is going to rise because of the halving because that would surely make us profit

If BTC is still a viable system by the 2036 halving, then I would expect $200,000 dollars per BTC to be completely possible.
I have separated a part of my stash on that very bet.

BTC will either be worth an incredible amount or dog shit by that halving cycle. Your answer lies simply in how viable you think BTC is going forward (can they solve scaling issues?)

If you think BTC has a 5% chance of survival to 2036, then you should/would allocate 5% of your stash to that year.

Price will go higher in coming days for sure but expecting $200k is something impossible as it is too high and unrealistic value to be achieved.

$200,000 is for the price of bitcoin in 10 to 20 years or even longer. It will depends on the general adoption of the coin.

It would be nice if the price was that high but I do not think that it is going to be high ever. I just do not see at happening but there still is chance that it could happen.

LOL i dont think you knwo where we are today we dont life in the year if 3000 we are in 2016 and not even in a hundred years the price will hit that amount.

I dont think we are already up to 200k each and we cant reach that because there are always peopel who are not investing into it and that is why we never hit that amount.

The value of Bitcoin is not going to be that high and that is because you have to know that the value will not rise that fast and it will takes a long time until it will rise that high.
So we have need the patience for it to wait for such a high value.

That would only be possible if USA gets destroyed along with all Europe. There is no way bitcoin can reach that high without destroying Euro and USA. Since EU and USA won't be using bitcoin as their national money, then i can say 200k$ is just nonsense. Even if the price reaches to 200k$ there won't be any USD around, then how teh hell you gonna measure btc's worth in USD? It simply means that. You can tell 1M$ instead of 200k$ its the same.

That would add up to a market cap of 3.2 trillion dollars ish right now. All the world's physical currency is somewhere around the 5 trillion mark. All the world's accessible money, ie made up numbers in bank accounts and stuff, is 28-29 trillion.

That is real, accessible money, not market cap. Market cap is utter bollocks. Bitcoin could reach a trillion plus market cap with far, far, far less expenditure of real money.

Internet commerce is ever growing. Machine to machine commerce effectively hasn't even started yet and that's going to drive up transactions to mind boggling levels.

It is possible. Jolly unlikely, but it's not a wholly ludicrous idea.

It will occur but not now, for reaching to there we will have to wait a few years more or a dozen of years.

It will be just a dream and happen not at anytime its just too unrealistic, they highest amount the bitcoin will ever reach is maybe around the 10k maximal.
The price will never get higher then 10k and its even still has to prove itself if it will even will go to this amount in the upcoming years..

there is no limit to the bitcoin price. there is a limit of the number of coins in total, which is 21 million coins.

Maybe, with the fluctuation rates you never know one day it could be $16 then the next $1600 but that's all just looking at statistics and just hope in the end because you will never know when someone wants a large stock of btc and thats when it really takes off.

We probably will see BTC become $200k usd

I would really like to see BTC $200,000 but i doubt it will happen for another few centuries because of the fact that bitcoin can fluctuate a shitton in a single day/hour so you never know with btc and that's why so many people love it but why others hate it.

Yeah i feel you long term investment is great but the building itself is the foundation of why a lot of us use btc, the extreme highs and lows is what takes us all back to the moment we liked about finding btc.

Ur right, it was the way btc moved up and down that got me into it and i still love it. Just missing some extreme highs btc was in past days

Bitcoin is still just an experiment. I think it will take around 20 years to get to $200k, because to justify such a high price there are many things that need to be in place and those things take time. ;D

experiment? after bitcoin can last 7 years you still say it is still on experiment even though I know you say it like that because it doubted whether bitcoin can reach the price of 200k in the future, I'm not sure too because in my opinion that price is too high to be achieved by the financial capacity of human beings in general

It IS experimental.

Check Help / About Bitcoin Core in the Core Application.

At least the Beta is gone haha

It's half experimental, half legitimate currency. The experimental part of Bitcoin is the ability for everything to change in development and for new code to be applied, and, for example, with the 2mb block debate, that could be implemented as a way to further the longevity of Bitcoin and increase the infrastructure it is able to maintain. It isn't entirely experimental, and it isn't entirely complete yet.

2MB or greater block size is to attract users to show them the benefit of bitcoin in the transmisson of money.

Increasing the block size will more likely attract large merchants willing to accept Bitcoin as payment option. Right now nearly every block is full which holds back merchants knowing the technical details of Bitcoin and thus the 1MB limit. Let's hope to see Amazon accept Bitcoin before 2017 which would be amazing.

I ordered something from an online shop. I paid very high fee, It got confirmed 5 hours later. I missed the next day delivery.

Centuries? You think a century is not quite long? It is equal to 100 years bruh. It is quite long and it might be a good progress for bitcoin to have a possible value of 200,000 usd. You're talking shit and didn't even realize what you're saying. You know what's like to live in year 1916? There were no things we see like computers and other high-technologies. But you see after 1 century, you see so many things that's so new. That's how things get so different. 1 century is a very long time for bitcoin to make a big progress.

well right now i think it is impossible for the price to reach such big heights, i think that such numbers are possible only in a few decades, that would earn me a lot of money

in my opinion i will make some good money over time from bitcoins because it will definitely grow a lot, in this way it will give me a lot of possibilities to become rich person

I think it is very difficult to make bitcoin be priced at $ 200k. because the current price of bitcoin is still $ 678, so it may take a very long time. maybe 5 or 10 years, but if it occurs, may bitcoin will be very difficult to find

Honest question. Are comments as empty and trivial as this generated by retarded bots? So many comments like these - super annoying.

sig campaigns from Africa it sounds like...

I think its impossible to happen but if bitcoin will be still exist in the future we are too old and we are no care about bitcoin in that time.. but maybe it will happen .. for now we have a goal that the price will reach in 1k value..

Yes, $1k is our primary goal to achieve and that may be achieved at the time of halving, but $200k will not be achieved at any stage as its unrealistic value to dream off.

$1000 is a more than realistic price target. reaching $200,000 indeed isn't. it's actually quite pointless to even think about such prices. people should focus more on realistic things instead of living in a fantasy world.

For bitcoin anything is possible but that price is very high and and so it will take much longer time to reach there and for that more and more people need to invest in there.

I said it before but I will say it again:

I think 8 trillion would be way more than 381.000.. marketcap is not simply dividing the 8 trillion for the total amount of coins. First of all 21 million coins will not be mined until 2140, there are more than 1 million coins lost forever the supply is even more scarce etc.. so it's WAY more than 381.000 for 8 trilli marketcap.

Swiss bankers might have found out just the same:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1535583.0

If you only knew how many people said the same for 10,50,100,200,300, and so on..  1k USD is happening this year i'm fairly certain, and 200 fold increase over
10 years for example is nothing impossible. If anything, it could happen in a bubble as that targeted price but with not enough liquidity to maintain the price for long period.

100k USD give or take - I was just trying to point out that saying 1k is the maximum realistic price is absolutely ridiculous.

indeed it is possible, but I guess that will not happen anytime soon, because the price increase would have a gradual bitcoin. but I hope it happens quickly.

There is a lot of difference between 1K and 200K. If we look at the reality then we shall come to know that bitcoin is having difficulty in reaching even 1K value. and you are dreaming it to reach 200K. That is too much optimistic approach.

Most of you are setting yourselves up for an epic fail on the day of halving. Instead of a rocket to the moon, you are going to see a HUGE CRASH on that day. Chinese whales are already prepping for major sell-outs before, on the day of, and after July 9th. It's a great time to sell right now.

I'm expecting a massive shakeout of the weak hands following halving. Just hodl.

Those expecting a crazy rally post halvening will be eaten alive..they'll panic.. volatility will be amazing..

It will shakeout a lot of people with unrealistic short term expectations... blood on the streets.. buy the dips..

It may well be an opportunity, perhaps for the last time to get in under $500.. Maybe we see around $500 2-4 more times before saying goodbye.

Maybe it will happen in the future bitcoin is unpredictable 200k value for me is possible to happen but not now maybe in the future.. if bitcoin will grow locally every each country..

hi can you create topics that make sense? bitcoin is not possible to 200k dollars ???

Only if dollar fails massively (massive inflation), only then 200k$ per bitcoin is possible :)

i hope that bitcoin will reach such a huge price, that would be really cool in my opinion and it would make me some decent profit for just holding my bitcoins in a bitcoin wallet

i think that bitcoin will soon reach the price of 200 thousand dollars, i hope that this will happen in something like 10 years or so, that would be really great and it would make me some good money

I do not believe that the price is ever going to be this high because it just does not seem realistic anymore and allot of things have to happen for the value to reach that amount of money.
So people do not hope that something like this is going to happen because I am sure that it will not happen.

It would be waste of time if we hold our coins that one day it will achieve that price as that is simply not possible and I think maximum it can achieve is the price of $10k.

the maximum price that bitcoin can achieve after this halving is $2k, then how to think about $200k. this can happen only in dream.

Exactly $2k is possible to achieve either in this year or may be next year, and if it achieve that price then majority of the users will sell their coins to grab profits.

Given the time and t he demand that is happening every, it won't make it $2000 for year 2017. $1500 is more reasonable price because I think the price will just get doubled rather than being tripled.

impossible to predict! in 2017 the price can either be $2000 or $2

Broo you are insane wooow every bitcoin 200k?
I dont even think its a dream,its way too optimistic for a dream.
Anyway that would be fun,200 sat faucet would be lol hell of a lot money haha

Way too absurd dude! But then again, there's no harm in being tooooo optimistic. hahaha...Think positive and think of it as often as possible. Because the universe will conspire to make your wish a reality. The more you think of it, the more it will likely to happen. hahaha :)

In 15 to 20 years, the bitcoin price could be $200,000 each. It depends on the mass adoption of the coin.

I love these super optimistic threads,  makes me want to buy and hold more bitcoin even though i know it's an absolutly absurd price and we provably won't reach it ever.  Its nice to dream though and obviously I'm not the only one.  You never know though,  some day maybe.

It's good to dream but even when dreaming, you shouldn't go too far from reality. This bizar price will not happen.
But dreaming that bitcoin one day wil reach 5k. Offcourse everybody does want that.

I hope our dreams will become true in the future. But let's make it step by step. By aiming first it to $1,000.
And after that if bitcoins price already reach that. Then let's make a progress again and aim another additional $2k.
And after that go for $5k and so on.

there is nothing to dream about, bitcoin is going to be huge and i thinkk it will have potential to replace all the world money easily if a lot of people will be using it on daily basis

Dreaming is not a bad thing at all we are just dreaming about the good thing that is going to happen with bitcoin even though we all know that bitcoin is really going to be a good thing in the future.

you are definitely right about that, i think that such price is really achievable in the near future, i hope that we will see such numbers as soon as possible and make good profit out of bitcoin price

It really depends on whether fiat survives in that timeframe or not. Because really ,there is no point in measuring anything in terms of fiat simply because it is not a good unit of value.

Rather, I'd like to think of my earnings and savings in terms of BTC, because it is decentralized, and trustless.

wow gentleman,you are really good at this.
Anyway even if it is possible,im pretty sure nobody will pay 200k $ for just a one bitcoin,it is just overpriced.
Lol 200 satoshi would be 0,4$...

The $2000 price will not be achieved by the end of this year. I think that price could be achieved by the end of 2017.

For the price to be that high would be great for the people that want to sell and make money.
I do not know if the price is ever going to be that because it seems impossible but we never know.

OP, I can sell you 1BTC for $200,000. That will prove you right & be the perfect FU to all the h8orz.
PM for details.

I think the bitcoin will be worth $1 million dollars if it becomes the major reserve currency in a few decades.

That is really possible but the chances is really we can't tell as of now it is really a question if when that bitcoin is to reach $200k.
Or even $1 million dollars as you are saying.
I hope I still have bitcoins by that time when the price is going to reach that price.

It's pretty hard that Bitcoin reach $200k in the few coming months or even years. That's a very big amount. The reasonable price will be 1000$ or a little bit more than this price.

It's not hard, it's impossibe ~ not going to happen. I am not against dreaming, nor dreaming but you have to be realistic in life and this figure is not even close to realistic.

$200k really only exist in a dream and will never happen. we should look at it realistically. bitcoin prices will be even harder to reach $2k, let's see how many years we will reach $2k ;D

This is one of the good dread for your future.. but honestly its impossible to happen maybe in 2200 it will happen.. because we are always relaying in demand and supply the movement of the price is very slow and i think that price will not hit..

yeah really that amount is much bigger and in this time it is harder for bitcoin to achieve that value, but any coin which get the support from its users and the support from big companies will establish and get a bigger value so in that conditions that may be possible.

I think we'll see $2000 prices before the next block halving. If by that time the price still didn't reach $2000 then block rewards will be very low as the difficulty will also increase throughout the years. Only time will tell what will happen.

lol it was already clear that this year will not reach $2k, halving will not bring much influence I think.
but $2k in next halving in 2020 it is very likely to reach $2k

More we will see this price at end of this one or at january next one
Dont believe we will see sooner

Exactly as quoted we have got the highest possibility of reaching $2k by the next halving. At first we are in need to experience a 4digit value by today or few days after halving with the gradual increase.

As already many people said,it is really uncommon to see 2k$ = 1 bitcoin before 2018,and i dont imagine that 200k dollars price
is possible even in,i dont know 2040?
That's just too high,i think the maximum price for bitcoin is like 10k$ in many many years,prolly like 2030 maybe?

I think $2000 per bitcoin is very achievable as long as there is good development of the coin and mass adoption.

2k might happen after this halving but only after couple of months
don't expect to see sooner

i do not think about that bitcoin hit its price to 200k dollar and it will too long time a century and then i just think about that bitcoin will increasing its to 1200$ in the future  .

I think it will just take some time for the bitcoin to reach $200,000 or higher. It could be reached in 10 to 20 years.

We can't predict the future of bitcoin exactly. It is not possible to attain $200k for a very long period. May be by good adoption it can happen in far future and I don't know still that we will be there to see the price.

We see higher than 200 k usd bitcoin price if bankers start bid wars on bitcoin.

I dont think we will see that in our lifetime
But i think that they are scared of bitcoin

If they do not get bitcoins they are pretty dumb in my opinion and as far as I know, bankers are talented people. They are just so bureacratic organizations that it will simply take time + they need to learn what bitcoin is.

I want the price to be that high but I am not sure if it ever is going to happen so I do not want to get my hopes up to high.
But if it happens then I am going to make some money.

The  question is not if btc will be 200 k usd each but are you going to hodl it and have any meaningful amount of coins when it happens. The answer is probably no. A lot of people will sell on the way to 10 k and they have very little coins compared now when we will have next halving day.

If the world is always in financial stress like brexit situation.

Theres a need for bitcoin to rise - so it may not happen right away obviously, but it will happen eventually.

There's a lot of truth in this. Most of us get tempted when relatively high amount of profit are available, that we miss out on the bigger picture.
Exactly that happened to me few times already, but i think people will get smarter now, especially if this year confirms that price follows halving as a rule.
In any case, 200k is still very far from now, but it certainly isnt something that cant be done.

We are now at plus $600.Almost double since this post.All I can say is nothing is impossible it may take some time but bitcoin can reach four figures anytime sooner in future

bitcoin will achieve 4 digit in future but no one knows what exactly value it will hold in future and $200k seems to be impossible to achieve as of now.

When time comes that bitcoin got a value of 200k bucks, I'm sure there are lot of merchants already accepted bitcoin as form of payment. Since that high value needs a demand so probably that demand is acquired from mass adoptation in bitcoin.

To be honest, even I will have temptation to sell when I see my coins are worth of 1 000 000 usd all together because that would be my first million dollars despite I am already 30 yrs. old. I have been a little bit too late I guess.
However, my plan is not to sell when the stack hits 1 million. Sure I want to cash out 1 million but I will waite a bit longer so that the stack is worth more than 1 million, then I cash out 1 million and leave the rest of coins in the wallet. Those coins I do not care anymore - I am satisfied with 1 million usd + some bitcoins - even 1-2 btc is enough.  :D

I also want the price to be that high so that I can make money but I doubt tit that the price is ever going to be that high. The only thing we can do is wait and see if it will happen in the future.
With Bitcoin you never know what will happen and if the waiting is going to pay off.

It will just take time for the bitcoin price to be that high. It might take 2 to 5 decades for the bitcoin to be reserve currency.

Bitcoin will never reach a value of $200K so it's not even worth talking about it. Especially because of the fact that we are even far away from the $1000 level.

yes, you're probably right, but I guess there is no harm in hoping that it will actually happen. bitcoin probably will never reach $ 200k in the near future, and it will not happen before bitcoin fetch $ 1,000 this year, because if it really happens, I guess would be a lot of people who expect more on the price of bitcoin

I think the bitcoin can reach $200,000 or higher in 10 to 20 years as long as more than 20 million people use it.

I hope that the bitcoins price is going to be at that range. For sure all of us are going to be millionaire if that happens. It is not possible if the use of bitcoin is very on a high demand percentage on those days. So we just need to help bitcoin in adoption of it so that other people are going to recognize it and going to use it in the future.

What you did is just putting all your opinion. Where's your details so that we can also know how the bitcoin won't be reaching this possible value which is 200,000 dollars.

I also do not think that it is possible for the Bitcoin price to reach $200,000 I just not see something like that happening.
I might be wrong but I am not  gong to get my hopes up for that and wait for that to happen.

I agree with that. But it the bitcoin can survive for 10 to 15 years, the bitcoin price can reach 200,000.

I don't agree with it, this may happen only in the dream, I am sure bitcoin will survive more than 15 years and may be forever but the price $200k to reach within this period is unrealistic.

It is a dream, there is no way bitcoin will go this high. Remember bitcoin started worth a few cents in 2009 then suddenly it's worth 200?

Makes no sense. At best we can hope for 5k in at least 3 years.

Not realistic at all, maybe in a few decades ::)

Yeah $5k is an realistic value to think of and  bitcoin can reach there in coming years but $200k is simply impossible to achieve and if someone really thinks that it can achieve that price then he is wasting his time.

i like this price in true iam can rich
if now my balance in covert in rate one bitcoin 200k dollar
my money is 2 milion dollar fantatstic and i am rich

$5k still in dream at the time.now we can think $1400 the last top after cross $1400 then we can think $5k.I think next 2-3 years not possible to reach $5k.some people predict that does not make any sense.

i think that the price of the bitcoin is going to reach such a price pretty soon, in my opinion 200 thousand dollars per bitcoin will be just a beginning

At the moment I think 5k is also very hard. The price is only 600 people here are expecting to much. If the price would go to 200k, it would mean something is wrong with bitcoin.
People will run away with it.

I do not think people will run away from bitcoin if it reaches $200,000. They'll be amazed how it could have done the impossible. Not even gold has reached that level in its history. I also disagree with you that there is something wrong with bitcoin if it reaches that price level, it is the contrary. But it is an impossible dream. It cannot even reach $1000 for the time being.

What makes you think if ever the price would reach $200,000 (which I don't think will ever happen) that something is wrong with Bitcoin? Also, what exactly do you mean with "people will run away with it"? That people will steal your coins?

It is the network effect of the currency. If the users number increase 10 times, the price will rise 100 times.

I know that the Bitcoin is not going to be 200k ever because to me it just does not seem realistic.
I really hope that I am wrong because I also want the price to be that high but I do not want to get my hopes up to much.

This is the first time I hear some one saying this. Can you at least back up your theory? Because to me this doesn't make any sense. Since 2013 when the price has reached its all time high, the price didn't shoot back up while the number of new adopters has gone up dramatically till now. According to your theory it should have happened.

Yeah there is no effect if we are increasing.. the price of bitcoin is depends in demand and supply so if you said it if users 10 times a day are buying bitcoins.. expect that the price of bitcoin will be increase gradually.. if its happen day by day.. but according to my analyze newbie about bitcoins are looking for task to earn bitcoin instead of buying it..

of course people wouldnt run away, a lot more would be investing into it because they would think that bitcoins will replace fiat soon

in my opinion i would be holding stronger than ever because that would be a really great trend up that would allow me to make money

*world.




But, after all, Bitcoin must be the future reserve of value for all people on earth.

it can be possible if bitcoin get more popularity and more people aware about the benefit of bitcoin then they will be attract to use bitcoin ,  and if bitcoin technology get more advance and it acceptable in everywhere then all people will be start using bitcoin than fiat and then i hope so it can be possible to $ 200k.

Nowadays a lot people that didn't even know Bitcoin have been here purely because of the signature campaigns. They probably have been searching for ways to earn money without doing much effort, and they ended up here. These people only look for freebies and don't bring any money to the table.

wow I thought my thread had died but it's still very much alive  :D

Currently I DO think bitcoin still has very much rise potential but I also believe that bitcoin has its technological limitations so I don't think 200k dollars is likely to happen sometime soon (unless bitcoin devs will find a way to apply HUGE technological innovations that the fiat system or other crypto currency platforms don't have and ever can't have, because I think sometime soon fiat currencies will be put on the blockchain as well and so bitcoin needs unique selling points). Truth be told, I am not up to date what's going on with bitcoin nowadays anymore, I hope there are some awesome updates down the pipeline though that will surprise me :)

Unfortunately I missed the huge bitcoin rise from a few cents to hundreds of dollars but I hope for all hodlers here and anthusiasts that it will rise at least to thousands within years  ;)
