Bitcoin Forum

Im going to say it first: we'll see 500$ by around xmas time (so that's 25-31 December). Of course, I have no evidence to point at this happening any other than feeling really bullish at the scaling progress done in the past weeks and feeling generally really happy with the good news we are seeing lately, and of course having some fun in the speculation subforum with other Bitcoin fellows, so get in here if you are in for a 500$+ xmas party.

If it doesn't happen, you can still enjoy this drawing I did, and be sure it will happen next year anyway

I don't know whether the price will go up or down, but I hope it's $500 for Xmas. Last year's Xmas was horrible for bitcoinsrs because the price kept dropping. This year's been the opposite until now. Lets hope Santa gives all us bitcoiners that $500 on our Xmas wish list.

You are not far with your prediction but it seems that with only a little pump the price can reach $500 easily.

I hope that in Xmas that bitcoin will be that high and that it will just stay in there.
For more suprise that you won't see a under 500 dollars.

that would be great though i really dont think that it is possible to achieve right now we need to start buying a lot of bitcoins right now in order to grow the price that much

it's definitely possible. i only hope we won't see the price fall back very sharply after reaching $500. it seems that a few large traders are trying to keep the price at the $320-$340 levels. maybe so they have more time to buy coins.

Well, I take your drawing + the 440 USD price right now. The combination makes me very happy.
A 500 dollar price would me make even happier though

that would be a really great christmas present for me i honestly believe that it would let me to gain some money to buy myself a present or something like that also i hope that the price wouldnt stop at 500

It is not only possible, it is pretty realistic goal. I expect around $500 for Christmas, maybe little correction after holidays and straight up to new ATH before halving. /fingers crossed/

It's very probable IMO. The bullish market trend should be continuing at least till next February IMO.


And yes, fingers crossed for me as well. And it's definitely very realistic.

Nice picture ;)
It is possible to hit $500 before or around Christmas. We're really not that far away.
All we need a little pump and we'll get there, who knows, maybe by the next pump we'll be able to hit above $500 and maybe reach between $550 - $600

You didn't set a high goal; 500$ could be just around the corner. We were at 450 just recently, and after the dip, we have returned there, so 500 could
happen any day now. Given the fact that people tend to spend much more on xmass season, i would say that we will pass 500$ easy, maybe even reach 650-700 in Jan next year.

cheers

positive we can touch $500 soon and it will happen 2 days before christmas. So you can enjoy your holiday and remember keep your coins until price rise up

Yes, I purposely did so, to try to guarantee that it happens to be honest, but it's clear that we could be at 700 by Jan, im talking about as much near to 25 Dec as possible.

Yeah this one is realistic. $500 can, and in my opinion will, be reached before Christmas. $1000 by Q1 if I would be super optimistic. Latest around halving I believe we are there too.

500 mark seems to be quite reachable with the current constant up trend from some weeks. We may see people spending much in bitcoin and for which buying bitcoin and taking it to 500. ;D

Humble prediction, not like others way to optimistic. Yes it will be nice to see 500 $ and even more nicer to stay there. I think this is possible to happen, I don't need better evidence then this stady rising. Maybe we can expect even more cause of halving is closer and closer every day. A lot of people are sure in much bigger rise after that halving occur.
Nice picture and lets hope we will see btc rising and rising all next year.

Definitely... $500 certainly is very likely for the end of the year. Looking forward to that $500 and Christmas!

$500 is likely to happen. The question is whether we just touch it and go down, like the last time, or we are able to stay above $500 a bit longer. I think the first option is more realistic, as we are still far from the halving, so the growth will eventually run out of steam.

I think we will even get 500 before Christmas.. It is so close and your prediction is actually still pretty far away. One week should be sufficient to reach 500 usd.

The real Christmas present would be staying stable in that range!

It went up to $460 something today but it came back down to $450 really quickly.
I think bitcoin still has a chance to reach $500 by the end of the year. It's really close and it doesn't need all that much of a push to get there.

It is just one week away from Christmas. The price is $460 at the moment. It is possible for the price to touch $500 then.

Yeah the price of bitcoin is kinda around 460 dollars now is just maybe that it goes to 500 dollars.
I think it will but I think just next week. I don't think it will happen this week.

Bitcoin price will hit 500$ and we hope that it reach more .. Also there are chances of increasing bitcoin price after halving.
Hope for the best guys .Happy xmas.

With only 7 days to go, there should be like $8 daily climb for BTC to reach $500, but looking at rates today and the passed few days, it's been stable at $450 - $460. At this point, those who hold Bitcoins to shop and not for trading are slowly dumping coins to buy some Christmas gifts.

yeah $500 is my hope at Christmas, because I think $500 is very likely to go at the current price.

It would be one of the best presents that i could get for this christmas in my opinion it would meab that the price would get a lot of potential for growing next year and it would make me a lot of money of this happened thos year

That would be indeed a nice Christmas present. It's very possible that this can happen. If a little pump is coming in we might be able to reach between $500 - $600.
If it does reaches $600, I'm pretty certain it will come back down as fast as it went up.

We helped a friend organise a christmas secret-santa giveaway over Christmas. The criteria was to spend < $10.

By the time the secret santa swap happened, his printed wallet gift was worth at least > $12.50.

Still looking for a good gift to give this christmas? Give the gift of bitcoin!

You know what I would like to have for a X-mas present a Bitcoin Mining that just use solor power. Than with that I wish that it can mine 0.5 bitcoin a month. That would be a nice gift for me. 500 dollars is also a good gift.
I think if we reach 500 dollars it will go down, better for me because I can buy more.

Halving is still quite far ahead of where we are now. I wouldn't count on halving effect until early spring 2016. For now there is a lot of speculation, but no real news or developments to ignite a stronger move. We may as well touch $500 and come back to low $400 to test the support zone: $350-400 that we left at the beginning of December.

Instead of waiting for the price to reach $500 and go down again, you can also buy the amount of coins you want, right now. People tend to wait way too long with buying as they hope the will go down. And once they finally are going to buy some coins, then that most likely will be at much higher price levels. Don't waste your time waiting, and buy now.

Hopefully this happens too as long as no one from the so called Whale club decides to dump their Bitcoins which in result could the main factor in the price upon reaching the Christmas week. Base on the recent events, it's going up step by step so looking forward into it even further.

That would be a better Christmas than what we got last year from bitcoin. To be honest I am happy and would remain so just sticking where we are taking into account just a few months ago we could not break $250's.


I think you will find the potential is already there. There would also be much better Christmases you could think of that and extra $40. Saying that is will be nice yes, but be happy with what you have $40 is nothing ;)

That is exactly the point. We managed to reverse the 18 month old bear and that is already a great achievement for 2015. the price action in December is the cherry on top of the cake, and thus one should not get disappointed if we don't break $500. All in due time, that is just around the corner. We should get much more positive events closer to the halving.

I hope.

Even if I would be happier with 1000 or anything closer to it

That's actually a great idea. But I feel like as if I were to give this to one of my family members, they wouldn't know what to do with it right now.
All they would do is just keep it in a safe place, I don't think this would be enough to convince them to get more interested in bitcoin.

$500 is not a big task this can be happen by any time and i also quite sure about this we will get this price with stable floor around $500 in Christmas time period.

I agree that we may touch or even pierce $500, and that shouldn't be difficult to achieve. But I find no arguments, neither fundamental nor technical to stay above that level for a longer while. At least not now. Around spring time, yes, that is more probable.

The question is whether we can gain 10% in a week.
Definitely not impossible is my opinion.  :)

Its possible The last time we served as a medium between the indusrtry's professionals who made this prediction One interesting result is that the average price prediction this time remains little changed from then US$1012 now compared with US$1072

Totally agree impossible to gain 10% only in a weeks maybe we just can hope price increase 5%

I think he said, that he doesn't rule out completely such possibility. And I must agree with that. It is not that unlikely to see a 10% rise (or fall) as Bitcoin is a very volatile asset. that is quite typical behaviour in the early phase of development we still sit in.

Well, if a such a technology is release, im guessing that such profit wouldn't last long, because the big miner players would automatically start stacking up on those new machines, raising the difficulty, and leaving the solo miner at the starting point again. Unfortunately i dont see a clear way to decentralize mining.

I think you did not receive the $500 Christmas present. I am sure the bitcoin price will be over $500 this Christmas.
