Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone,

In the last few days BTC price went up. Do you think that now is the time to buy more BTC? Can it reach 1000$ like few years ago? What your opinion?

It was a pretty nice price surge. I can't tell you what will happen in the future, but it would be very nice if btc's price in dollars reached ~1k until july.

I'd say that there's a rather solid (?) chance that might happen. And if it does we all should be buying now, even though it just went through an 100US$ high...

I think we are looking at $800 to $1 k by the end of the year.

I'm appreciating the uptick as well, it is long overdue :) but I think the market will correct a few times before the Halving. Then a little more uptrend, then it's going to sideways for a bit until something else pressworthy happens.

Yes 800$ by end of this year or even more. Its really good to see that.

Sudden steep increase has taken place from the long time minor fluctuations. For this reason if the same continues we could see the price around $800-$1000 soon.

I think yes, this is the right time to buy lots btc you can buy and hold them for atleast six months for you to have a massive profit when bitcoin goes very high. Remember patience is a virtue

The price is getting higher and higher due to the halving rumour and it still can rise again so buying bitcoin now its the best time
 i doubt it will reach 1000$ but i think the price can up until 700$

buy low, sell high

Nice, I also think that the price will go up when more people start to use it. It's an rule in economy, the higher the demand, the higher the price. We all who started early with BTC will profit alot. :)

So everyone has an optimistic opinion, that's great.

What happens next is anyone's guess really. You'll find plenty of knowledgeable people predicting this and that but in the end they're like everybody else, they don't know. Anyways if we knew the outcome beforehand it wouldn't be nearly as fun would it. Not to mention poor people would then be an endangered species  :D

The price will rise again in the next few months. That could be fuelled by the increase of the block size.

I just checked for the first time in a couple of weeks and WOW, it sure is going up!!

Yeah ,bitcoin price is continously and very unpredictable right now it crossed some predictions of going now not as this high price.i will be amaze if it will reach $800 by the end of this year

yeah but when the first bitcoin price rise on the market, i should think this a trip and bitcoin price will not goes higher than $500 but i was wrong with all my prediction because the price now stay at $575 and it's give me a big profit :)

The halving is not a rumor.  It is a fact.

According to old block halving i think the price should be rise because of demand and supply.. the bitcoin reward will be half to 12.5 and our supply will reduce so the price should be rise more..

bitcoin increasingly ascending movement. I am confident for the next few days bitcoin will still rise. My prediction is 800USD appropriate rates for two months.

few years age when we see those soap bitcoin bubbles im the air where mainly because of the mt gox exchange i agree that thay have done a bit mistake on their servic but i on some point think that due to mt gox exchange bitcoin reached 1000$ and if the price goes again up their then hope this time peoples will do less sucides

It could or it couldn't. Years ago, who would have known that it would surge to 1000$? This time around people are aware that it can surge to 1000$ and then drop. So the initial reaction to this is sell near the top before it even reaches 1000$.

Just my 2c.

Well for me it is the right time to buy BTC maybe in the halving day it's price will rise drastically or maybe not so buy only using the money that you can afford to loss.  ;D

I would agree with this, imo $800 should be the minimum barrier to achieve the year with it especially with the promising rise before the halving  ;)

The Bitcoin price is going up and that is a good thing because it can attract more people and people will sell there coins. I hope that the price is going to reach 600 dollars soon.

prices of the bitcoin always rices and somethimes they drop down to a everage hight like 300 each or something. but for now i think the halving will costs many miners their heads.

ff course he will always go up and that is only because there are to many users these days and i dont think he will be lower then he came from so dont think drops will come he will rise for sure.

off course the price of the bitcoin will always rise not that much everytime but a little bit sometime he will drop a little bit but that does not matter. Because at the end of the race he will always rise.

the price of a bticoin will always go up more then he will fall down. But you dont or cant know that for sure. So i dont think prices always going up but for now it seems to be working.

The price is now indeed rising up and that is nice for the people with already Bitcoin because they can earn some more money later and that is perfect.
But we already waited a long time until we can earn profit so the time have to be soon.

I am a holder of most of my bitcoin. As long as I do not sell/use it, the price rise makes no difference. Just make me happy.

The Bitcoin price is going up and it is getting higher and higher the price has reached 600 Dollar with in no time.

Right now the price is back to 570. I do hope it is for a short time, since I expected it to reach 600 before the halving.
For me it's not needed to see 800 but after the last weeks, 600 should be a realistic figure.

As long as the price does not drop below $500, that is normal correction after such a big rise recently.

Almost 700$. That's crazy. Just like ten days ago I posted this thread and the price was 540$. :)

The price is going up at the moment and it is on its way to $700 at the moment. I am not sure if it can reach that amount before the halving comes in and changes up things.

yeah, the price is not stopping going up right now and i hope we will reach a new all time high

hopefully my predictions are correct and i will make some more money out of it

A new 27 months high is in sight. But I hope we can reach that 3 months later, not next week. The price needs a rest.

This is fun to watch, I wonder how high it can go this week maybe $800 then back down to $400/$500 or maybe it's just going to keep on going up until after the halving and them plummet.

At the moment the price is going up and it has already passed $600w which is great. Maybe it can hit $700 before the halving starts kicking in and switches up the price again.

You can already see now indeed that the value of Bitcoin is going to be more worth and that is really nice for people who already have Bitcoin.
But it should be nice if we can wait a longer time and sell it on the right moment when we can make enough profit.

It already hit $700 where have you been all day lol? Last I checked a few hours ago it was stable at $680 so...yeah not sure where you were going with that.

this is the right time to buy bitcoin and hold it for several months. buy low sell high  ;D

I dont think that the price of the bitcoin will rise fast but he will rise that is what i know. It is going really slow but there will always be a prise rise if everybody just holding i dont know what the price will do. necessary

Actually it was late update as you can see in the chart that the price still in 540$, but i can say what i really see today is during weekends the price of bitcoin is bursting up so fast and in normal days it was slowly up and thats good maybe some buyers are busy and few people are buying on normal days and in weekends many people buy since its day off and people can monitor the price movements.

Yes price can reach 1000 $, or even more. Who knows where will top be, I`m guessing history is repeating. So there is high chance to see over 1000 $ in next few weeks. My concern is how much will bitcoin price fall after that rising, cause high top is good for traders and I wish bitcoin to stay strong even after this halving.
No matter what happen, its very excitement to be part of all this. I`m guessing we will touch this high, cause everyone is talking about it.

I also think so. The price  now, even though higher than a few months ago, it is still a good buying opportunity.

But I have a good feel that the price will lower down for a bit. I will wait for a bit and I think that would be a good time to horde.

This rising of price will conrinue until it reach the halving and continue again until bitcoin price will reach its highest point  this year so all we need to do just is relax and wait  until bitcoin will completely in its highest price

Price may fall in next few days and that would be the best time to buy some coins, as we are confident that price will be higher at the time of halving,.

This is what has me stuck.. Sell now and make some $$ or wait till the half. History says that the price will increase, but history does not always prove right.

Now that the up-trend is obvious, we see optimism rising rapidly.  :)
It would have been smarter to buy at ~$220, when the panic had people claiming it was going much lower, but the up move (probably) isn't done, so you can still make money.

For now according to the price yesterday and now the price goes down and i thin this is just because many people are not satisfied and they cant wait to increase more the value of bitcoin or this is just the effect of the traders buy wall and sell wall.. and i think sooner the price will recover again soon..

I am also sure current bitcoin price rally will continue till halving however after halving where the price will go is quite uncertain but crossing ATH price will be quite difficult for bitcoin.

This is pure speculation though. One cannot say for sure. The only true winner right now are those who have sold higher than they purchased.

It keeps raising these days and this is really promising for the future of the bitcoin right now.
Its just a matter of time before it will hit some nice 4 digit numbers..

Even if the price drops, it still has future. But the development of bitcoin is centralised, the miners does not have much power.

In fact, it is good buying opportunity. We should buy when there is blood on the street. Warren Buffet said that.

Yeah seems to be good time to buy some coins, as it is expected that price will bounce back at the time of halving so we can earn good profits if we buy at current price.

If you bought yesterday at $550, you would have made 100 dollars of profit already. The price is very volatile.

It can only happen if someone has bought 1 BTC but most of the traders yesterday were panicking and even I bought only 0.1 BTC and hence my profit is $10 which is still good. I guess the price may drop even further so trading in 0.1 BTC or less can be just fine.

yeah, in weekends we see a big boost in the price, it is not occuring only in this weekend but from a month i am noticing that the price of bitcoin increases on friday or on sunday and monday.

The price is not stable currently. Yesterday, it was $530 and today it is $670 while being $780 earlier.
There is no guarantee that this price would increase or decrease from now on and hence I am going to continue holding coins till halving. I will probably sell my coins that I had bought at $470.

You have already made profits, you can even afford to sell at current price, but it would be good if you can hold till halving  to earn higher profits, as price may touch to $800.

after bitcoin prices go down, I think the current bitcoin prices back up. although the price goes up little by little, however, this will probably be $ 700, but now we can only wait

We see will some changes on the price of bitcoin next week. For now its playing around from 640- 680,down and up..
Thats why no one can predict bitcoin price where it will be heading..

Wait and watch is the best option at a moment as price has started to fall back again, as of now price is $650 which was $685 few hours back, so its a confusing moment for me.

yes indeed the current price is very unstable today with the highest prices $680 and currently back again to $650 but doesn't mean you could not took advantages from that for me just do a short trading every day even only could earn small profit but it's more better than i had lost

We cannot tell if it will hit the $1000 again but if that happens then that would be great for us who are into bitcoin investment.  If it is the time to buy bitcoin, yes!  Buy more when the price is still low.  Let's all hope that bitcoin price will goes up.

Yes the price of the bitcoin will soon or later go up without any doubts, its just that it need some time to accomplish this.
It has a great future a head and the halving will also help us doing this.

I do not think that the price rise is slow as a month ago the value of bitcoin was at $450 and now we are seeing it at the value of $650, so how can you say that it is going slow, the price is rising now and will be more faster in the coming days.

i think you are right, all people will be buying coins after some time because bitcoin will change the world in my opinion and have really positive impact soon

bitcoin price is not going up at the moment and it is pretty stable but i think it has a lot of potential to grow because of the incoming bitcoin halving event that will surely happen

Yes, this the price for which a number of people were wishing a week ago, now they have the opportunity to buy as much as possible because the price of bitcoin is once again going to rise to the peak.

Yes, this is the time to buy and in the next month we will see the price to a highest value so we will earn a better amount of money within a few weeks, but if we hold for longer then we will get more profit.

That could be right. The price in the next few months might not be higher than now. But in a year, it will be higher.

Seems like we have a new pump going on! As the halving is becoming nearer and nearer it is possible to see the price going sky high.

Thats right,bitcoin is starting  its way to 1000$. Fasten your seatbelts..
This tour might took 6 months. ;D

what pump? the price rose just a little bit right now i doubt that it is going to be a new pump with bitcoin as there wasnt too big of a growth in price right now

bitcoin price is going up right now slightly though i guess that might have been some small fluctuations that will have no bigger impact in a longer run for the bitcoin price

it's not really a pump right now. as soon as the price hits $700 today, then it can be seen as some sort of a pump. we've seen the price go up $20-$40 before and then it went down again. let's give it some time to see where this goes.

users here are so fast to jump to a conclusion here. with a small rise they call moon and with a tiny dip they call familiar and $200 lol

right now it seems like a rise is shaping up but i think it is a little too soon to call it "moon"

bitcoin price has continued increasing upwards rising by over 44% , sooner it will reach its peak price making handsome profits to users.

I think it will take at least 6 to 12 months for the price to be over $1200 again. The price will not rise too fast.

Yup and we can cannot expect $1200 price from halving as its difficult to achieve in next one week, maximum we may see the price of $800 at halving.

you are right. maybe this time we can not expect halving make bitcoin price to $ 1200, and probably bitcoin price will increase to $ 800 in a long time, because the current bitcoin prices rise slowly. but if many companies that accept bitcoin as paypal, there is the possibility of bitcoin prices higher again

Yes, Bitcoin price is going up day by day, it will reach 950$ by the end of the year...And yeah it will reach 1000$ but in 2017..

Price will be much higher in future, but if we talk about halving then I think anything around $800 is possible to achieve as price is moving up now.

The price had crossed the $700 barrier in the Chinese exchanges and around $697 in bitfinex, coinbase and the others, seems promising for the halving  ;)

of course halving will push the price significantly up, in my opinion after the halving 1200 price will be really small for sure, price will go up even more up i think

bitcoin price is going up right now slowly but surely, because of that all the people who are holding their bitcoins can make a lot of money in the future so they invest even more

other exchanges also touched the $700 price level just now. it gives a good feeling seeing the price go up. maybe there is a surprise for us before the halving. i am already happy with the price reaching the $800 level as top price.

There's no assurance that the event will really make the price of bitcoin soar because what we see is just a manipulation on the value. But I am sure that we will see a good increase in the price every year that we pass because a quick adoption on bitcoin is happening. See those merchants making bitcoin as a new way of payment? That's what I'm talking about!

I think everyone is waiting bitcoin prices rose to $ 800, but I guess it will happen after two months from today. bitcoin price is now almost rose to $ 700, and if my prediction is correct, then the bitcoin will reach $ 700 in the next week

I don't think that $800 will take 2 months time, if price keep on moving up before halving then we may touch that price at the time of halving, I will sell my coins when it reaches there.

Nobody indeed can guarantee the price will sky rocket. Even with the halvings. Suppose the price did not go up, less miners would decrease the difficulty and thus find a new floor for mining to mine the amount of coins to make profit.

The price going up and down is normal. Now we have had our first real correction, it's time to see where is this going.
Either it will go back to 770 dollar or we will find another correction coming our way bringing the price back to 550ish. Which would still be very good for miners to keep their mining operation going on.

Majority of users will be disappointed to see the price of $550 as everyone is hoping to see higher price in coming years, it will be good if price falls to $600 and remains stable.

But in the next month is halving and with the effect of halving the price of bitcoin  will reach to $1200 in the next month or if not reached there in the next month then it will be there in the coming two or three months.

The majority of the users seem to acting like kids sometimes.
Bitcoin to 10k, 100k and even 200k.
The price of bitcoin has been growing (good) but when making prediction it should be realistic. Now the price is going up again 702 at the moment, the only thin we can do is be patient.

Well, I would have to say that $1200 is certainly possible--obviously you saw how we jumped from $430 to $780 in a matter of a month or so, right?  Or was it quicker than that?  I don't have a chart in front of me.  But it was fucking fast.  Having said that, I'm somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to bitcoin, and we might not get there.  What we might be seeing right now is people buying in anticipation of the halving.  But I suppose there's no difference, is there.

The block halving will take place this month. To be more precise; It will happen within 7 days! I think it's a better idea to first see if the price gets back to $1000 again before speculating about $1200 prices. At this point we still have to touch $800 for the third time ever.

bitcoin price has been going up for a while. and I don't see any reason why it should stop or go in any other direction for the near future.

there always will be some decline, when people cash out for profit after a rise or because of some dumping but it will be temporary and short.

this rise will go on especially because the halving is near and the real effect of halving will be felt after it has happened. also there is a lot of good news all around about bitcoin. mostly caused by brexit where major news media are talking about bitcoin in a positive way.

Right, it has been considered as a safe haven currency against all the fiats available, which is a big achievement for bitcoins.
So, I would say that bitcoins will probably be the best performing currencies of all time these days, it will only go up and up.

thats true anything might happen to the price to be honest, thats why bitcoin is so interesting for me because it is so unpredictable, though i hope that the price is going to go up

in my opinion halving should push the price significantly up in this way making me some good profit, i mean most of the people will be buying their bitcoins in order to make money

People have engaged themselves in buying bitcoin at a moment and that is the reason price touched $700 once again yesterday but it fell back today but we can expect higher price in coming days.

Bitcoin prices always going up but off course there are some drops in the midle but that is with everything. There will always be a rise at the end and i think the end of this year
will have a nice rising. So if you just hold some of your coins for the end of year 2016 you will be very happy with the profit you make.

Yeah holding till the end of the year can be really profitable, if halving allows you to make profits then you should sell your coin and collect the profits and buy it again when price falls after the halving.

I do not think the price will rise again due to halving. It has already risen due to halving in the last 6 months.

I hope that the price is going to rise again this year because with the last halving I wanted the Bitcoin to reach $1000.
It did not happen so I hope that it is going to happen at the next rise.

you can never know this for sure.
first of all halving rise will only happen after while passed "after" the halving happened not before it. so logically there should be a rise in the future.
and also the rise in the past 6 months can be directed towards growth of bitcoin and also the fact that price was artificially kept down because whales were dumping and keeping it down to buy more.

yeah in the last halving it did happened but it was not just at the day of halving but it happpened in the end of the year and it is sure that in this year inthe end it wil also happen.

Price will definitely rise in the end of the year and to see higher price we need to have great level of patience as it is expected that price will touch $1k at the end of the year.

Nothing is certain, that is for sure so we must also learn to manage our expectations in terms of the way the price behaves. Not only do we need patience, we must also do our due diligence and have a calm attitude. When the price went down from $780 to $520, we saw a lot that got scared and sold. That was an opportunity which some took to buy at lower levels.

you always have to take maximum possible advantage of these kind of situations. because that is a golden opportunity that doesn't happen everyday. you could have sold at $750 after seeing the drop and bought back at $550 after making sure of the bottom.

the sudden rise to $780 was the clear indication of such drop.

This time price was not not going so much up by halving but in next year price will definitely go high by halving so hold your bitcoins it will be profitable for you this time.

I'm also hoping for a rise sometime at the end of the year. The halving this year was kind of a disappointment. I expected the price to be higher by now, but oh well, nothing to do now but hope for better prices by the end of the year.

Halving result will not be felt right, it will under go a process because miners might just decide about changes maybe one of it will be the transaction fee which is I hope won't get affected.

You are disappointed in the block halving because of you having too high expectations from the price. The price started to go up far before the block halving date, and thus if you look at the growth that we have realized so far, then it's definitely something to be very happy with. The price has nearly doubled in value when it went very close to $800 in June.

I agree with this. The block halving has already doubled the bitcoin price. It might double it again in 6 months.

yes bitcoin will rise very high in this year, we just need to wait at least until the end of the year.
because halving just happened two weeks ago, and it has not been a change in price.

I hope halving this year, would like halving earlier. when a few months will be approaching the year ended, the price could rise to $1,000

Maybe, because a lot people are using cryptocurrency now. Hopefully the price will get higher and higher as time past by. I guess, many people will get encouraged to use bitcoin. But we will be stick to bitcoin no matter what.

Existing users of bitcoin will never quit bitcoin for sure as they are aware about its potential and even if price drops it won't make any difference to them.

the longer the more that use bitcoin, coins or the other, and of course this will make bitcoin prices rose. if bitcoin has begun to develop and be accepted in the real world, I think the price of bitcoin will actually be high, and I guess it will not stop even if sometimes the price of bitcoin down

I agree, I want the price to go up and down at the same time (so some of my speculative buy orders are met), the price has been relatively stable over the last few weeks - which is better for other kinds of investor. I think the stability may bring more people to the market which may build the price slowly.

The bitcoin price is much more stable now than before. It is just 5% difference in a week. It is good for a currency.

yeah, to be honest it is really stable at the moment and i think it is a really great thing becaue it shows that the price has potential to grow now

Yes i think the bitcoin price now is not stable i think in the next coming years bitcoin will reach the price to 2000$ that is base in my opinoin. But no one can say it migth be true so many investor will rejoice if that happen.

Stability will take a long while if you ask me. I expect the price to be around this range for a few more weeks.
After that we may see the price go up or down. Not much probably by 50 dollars up or down. Then maybe another pump.

I also can't see much difference in the price in the coming weeks. Maybe that we'll get to touch $700 again next month, but the support must be there to keep it above the $700 level. For now I am very happy with the current price. I don't mind this stability to last a few more weeks.

This month, the bitcoin will trade between $600 to $700. Next month, it might trade between $650 to $750.

Without big news, the bitcoin price will be more affected by the mass adoption. That is actually good.

It's news that bring in more people in bitcoin because they trust bitcoin more. So what you say is wrong.
The price, I hope, will adjust with good news coming, but when steem was accepting bitcoin, it was nearly untouched...

I've been reading some forecasts and a few people looking at indicators are expecting a drop in price over the coming days but only if the price breaks below the support level of 640, if so then it could drop to between 570 and 600. I'm braced for an increase or decrease, but hope its a short term drop before an upward swing so I can get some cheap coins in.

The Ethereum is a hot commodity at the moment, the money is flowing into it at the moment, so the bitcoin  might drop.

it is possible but not that much.
it has been a while since etehreum and ethereum classic has been rising (being pumped) and so far there is no drop in bitcoin price, so i doubt that can happen even in the future.
that is why i think there is only bitcoin flying in, not money.

i think yes still it is good time to buy bitcoin. because it is expected that the price of bitcoin will cross the 1000$ this year. so i can say that it is still time to invest and buy bitcoin because i do not think that the price of bitcoin will ever drop from 600$ this year.

of course the price of the bitcoin is going to go up a lot in the near future, i think we will soon see a new all time high

Expected to reach $1000 this year? Expected by whom? I don't see much reason for the price to go up that much this year. I believe the price will go up slowly where the first chance to reach $1000 again will be next year.

Nowadays we are seeing the price of bitcoin at around $650, but it is also favorable by a lot of people as they want to put their money n bitcoins for longer time due to its attractive features. With stability they will not have the fear of volatility.

I think the price rise because he now we see not dropping the price $ 600 . Maybe next year it will increase even more because many users of bitcoin . So it's better to keep a bitcoin now just wait for it to rise . Stable prices so hard to dropped it , but further price increases . Time to buy bitcoin for big profits.

I would recommend every active member of the forum buy 0.1 to 1 bitcoin if you think the bitcoin has future.

It might not be a good idea as most forum members are not wealthy. Otherwise they will not be active here.

Some price fluctuation is good if you are a trader. It gives you a chance to buy at a lower price and sell at a higher price. If you do this enough time, you can make a decent profit.

while i agree that a lot people nowadays sign up here are only doing that to earn themselves some bits. but people being active here doesn't mean they don't have any money to spend. not everyone is the same. i am buying coins because i trust in the future of bitcoin, and also for trading purposes.

i think bitcoin will be going to rise up its price to $1000 at the end of 2016 . because is really increasing its price too much faster day by day .

The price between $850 to 950 could be more realistic estimation of the year end price. But $1000 is also possible.

It's skyrocketing like everyone is expecting, can't you see? Lol...
*laughs at chart*

Did you see the skyrocket of the bitcoin price? I saw the price dropped 3% in the last day. That might be normal.

Nice to see a drop, managed to get some of my buy orders in, it might drop again if the rumours about coinbase and gdax being insolvent prove to be true

That is right. When the price drops further, there will be more buying of the bitcoin. The price is cheap now.

I'm hoping that the drop could start a trigger a rise in some of the older Alts like DOGE, LTC and DASH as people move out of BTC and regroup on their Alt waiting for the next rise

I do not think so. The drop of the bitcoin is due to the lack of funds flowing into the crypto currency world.

Wait what? I didn't hear this rumor?

The Coinbase has lost some Ethereum due to replay attack. But that should not make Coinbase insolvent.

The bitcoin price is going down now due to a hack. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1573336.0

I hope the hack will not cause two years of bear market like the one happended to the Mt Gox a few years ago.

Price has been rising gradually over the last few days. Its hanging out in the 59x range though.

yes we have seen the  impact of the hack in our wallets.... we were wandering that the halving would increase the rate but it was opposite due to  the hack...But now its rising slowly... i think it will again hit 750$ in few time....

of course bitcoin is going to grow, in this way we will make some good money easily

Yup steady rise is better in compare to sudden bubble, and if price keeps on rising slowly then its positive indication that price will go much higher in future.

What I want is that the bitcoin price rises 1% per week, or 2 to 4% per month, without a big price drop.

Honestly the price right now is reduce compare the past 2 days. the price today according to preev price is decrease into $4.
But this is not the case that the price of bitcoin will continue to decrease its just a small amount bt sooner the price again will increase back again..

Yes, a steady rise is what is preferred by holders.
On the other hand, traders and speculators love volatility. They make money in both directions - so they wouldn't mind a huge spike followed by a crash.

Not quite according to Coinbase. For the past 4 days we are in green, meaning there's an increase of price but as of August 9 from $593.78 of August 8 went down to $591 yesterday so that's -$2.93. Biggest so far +$12.16 which is August 4 $568 jumped to $580 on August 5

There is no need to worry about short term price action. The price has risen over 100% in the last year, it will continue rising.

Yes we should not be afraid of short term fluctuations as you can never get rid of it, but if we think of long term then price will surely rise in coming months, so better to hold our coins for some more time.

I do not care about the short term price drop. When the price drops lower, I will just buy more bitcoin.

i hope that it will keep on growing in the future, bitcoins will definitely grow over time because more companies more countries and more people will be accepting it

There are few companies in my countries accepting bitcoin than before. The expedia.com used to accept bitcoin, but no any more.

Yes bitcoin has great potential to grow in future so I think this is the best time to invest money in bitcoin at a moment as price will be much higher future.

you are right, right now it is possible for it to go up only because a lot of people are interested in it

bitcoin hopefully rise continues. the current price of bitcoin has increased, although slightly. for some traders the current rise is a joy.
they take every dollar that can be obtained.

Bitcoin prices are going through gradually rise from the start of this year. Only there was one moment of bitfinex hack when the prices drop by 20%. Other than that we are having an upward trend in the bitcoin prices.

The upward trend is not broken. The bitcoin price is consolidating at the moment. After a few months, the price will rise to $800.

Yes this year has been so far good for the bitcoins as we saw massive growth in the price of bitcoin after the halving and I think it will keep on rising in coming months.

are you serious? after halving no change in prices, even the stable a few weeks and then prices fell after news about hacker bitfinex. bitcoin is currently recovering prices. so the effect of halving really have not seen.

I think he's talking about before the block halving, because as you also said, the price hasn't gone up at all after the block halving has taken place. The price rose before the halving as people were expecting a serious price increase after the halving, but of course it didn't come as the price has gone up enough already. Till this day some people are still waiting for the price to go up because of the block halving. :D

The bitcoin doubled from 12 months ago until the halving time. So I think the halving already had its effects.

i agree with you bitcoin going to increase its price to huge ,and bitcoin getting more stronger because a large number of people interested in bitcoin and want to invest their money in bitcoin .

Glad you also notice that. Yes, at this point the halving has done its work already. The market has to go up without the hype of having an upcoming block halving. I think that will be difficult enough.

Sadly this will not be happening this year. BTC will stay below $600 until the end of the year. There is no strong buying going on just strong selling that happens at random.

The price of bitcoin will depend on its demand, as of now we are not seeing higher demand as price has stuck and not ready to go above $600 so I think we will sit stable here for next few weeks.

Nah, it ain't going up, it's going DOWN!

Too many greedy f*ckers who want you to become their bag-holder. They entice you with promises of $1000000000000 bitcoin, sell you their worthless coins and leave you high and dry.

So many greedy f*ckers are waiting for $1k bitcoin, it's not even funny. It will never happen, them $1k coins. Too much in-fighting among the egotistical core developers, empty leadership and no vision for the future, all point to bitcoin collapse in the near future.

The reason its not going up is because everyone is just sitting on their coins waiting to see what will happen.
Everything right now depends on new users.
Someone posted an interesting article about Kimdotcom and Mega announcing a service that will use BTC.
If something like this happens and we see new users the price will go up.
Otherwise its going to be stale since probably 75% of people that own coins just sit on them and hope for the price to double so they can get rich.

At a moment price is not going up but its going down, current price is $570 so if you have any plan to buy bitcoins then I think this is the perfect time to grab an opportunity.

I think bitcoin price will go down a bit then bitcoin price will start to stablize.  After that depends on what happen, it might go down deeper or start to climb.  But I think it will more likely to go up because the recent bad news about bitcoin will then be forgotten and new people will start adopting bitcoin again.

Why is that? I don't understand why companies that use to accept it for payments for their services and products are all the sudden not for whatever reason. Is it not popular to be branded as taking bitcoin anymore?  :-\

When I talk to people from Europe about BTC, they tend to be like (to paraphrase) "Oh, BTC. A lot of ppl made a lot of money from that. Is that still a thing?"

i hope that you are right, im buying as much bitcoins as possible at the moment because i believe that the price growth is going to be really strong

That's not what I hear when I talk about Europeans. In fact I am sure most Europeans are into innovation and bitcoin being innovation at it's best makes it interesting for them.

Yeah price will go higher in future so try to accumulate as much coins as possible as we may never see this low price again in future as it will keep on rising.

Yeah, I also think that Europe will be a place of innovation bitcoin. Surely if everyone living in Europe to talk about European rulers bitcoin will find a way out of it and it would be a tremendous advantage for bitcoin

yeah, it is the right time to buy bitcoins at the moment if you want to make decent income in the near future, in my opinion it will make us good money

I do not think the bitcoin price will rise too quickly. There is no good news to drive up the price and people are more interested in altcoins.

On a side note, good news has not been a price driver for quite some time now. It's not 2012/2013 anymore. We need genuine demand, or another halving hype to get the price to start moving like we have seen when the price nearly touched $800 in June.

well, so far bad news is what drives bitcoin price and stupidly at that. and whales love a bad news because they will dump as much as possible in early stages before the mass panic and then start filling their pockets with cheap coins of those panic sellers.

A lot of instability this year, difficult to predict what will be the value of bitcoin before the year is out.

That's true but I don't see any action from big whales at a moment, I think they are still waiting for price  to go more lower so that they can start attacking bitcoins.

yeah, the price is still being pushed down unfortunately though i hope this will last not for long because it is definitely not a good thing for bitcoin as more people quit it

you are right the price of bitcoin is very good if you want to buy bitcoin, but i think bitcoin price will be rise up to higher too much faster sooner so its perfect time to buy bitcoin.

Wait for few more days if you want to buy bitcoins as looking at current trend it gives me a feeling that price will even go lower in coming days, so that will be the right time to buy bitcoins.

Some people believe the price will get to 1k within this year, this is not something I see happening. If the price goes up it will be of news or manipulation.
So far i see no indication both will happen. Thus it seems likely for the price to settle now.

I hope that happens . But I seem unlikely because bitcoin is not rising but it decreases . I lay my previously $ 500 to $ 350 just now my bitcoin become lower i regret. But still waiting to rise it would not be reach december to times increases the bitcoin i hope soon. And next year either continuously increasing also earn bitcoin for all . We have just concentrated

i think it still can mate 800$ is still possible this year we will see that after more investors be much familiar with the
advantage of this currency, still holding and waiting mate.
