Bitcoin Forum

I was wondering what others think, will 1 BTC ever have a value of 50k+?
Within the future, like in 50-200 years from now.

Added text February 2021 - "It happened so much faster than expected, we are nearly there and where will it go within the next years?"

I think it might be possible at some point in the future, but might might take over two decades for Bitcoin to reach that value, based on the value of Bitcoin doubling after every halving and assuming that is sustainable.

It could potentially reach that value in the next decade or something if a lot of people start getting into Bitcoin and start investing notable amounts.

Bitcoin in 200 years?  :o

Actually I don't know whether the bitcoin has the potential to survive for ten more years or not.

But in any case, it seems too clear that the bitcoin price is absolutely unpredictable, so I don't think it is possible to see that price ever ($50000).

I think that is possible, because the price is always rise although sometimes goes down, it's normal and give trader opportunity to get profit by trading. BITCOINs devotee is increase every time and in my country necessity of bitcoin is always less that make the market positive I mean the price is always rise. I think BITCOIN price will be reach 50k/1btc in the future.

I know its impossible to predict, I am pretty sure some crypto-currency will make it through the years but if thats BTC or some other Coin in the future is hard to say.

I'd say that there is a very slight chance of that happening, somewhat like just 0.01% or so. But why 50-200 years? Do you want your soul to enjoy the money? I'd say, hope for less but in near future, somewhat like 2020-2025.


Bitcoin has the potential to even beat the gold... ::)

idk but in my source btc never goes down on that stage.. it's also like 1$ or something else before :P but in future it's little impossible :D

No one know about the future of bitcoin, maybe it's can happen with bitcoin. but not, for now, it's a miracle if bitcoin can get value more than $50000. Nobody knows with this.

i dont think we will need to wait that much time because the price will have a lot of potential to grow

i think that in like 10 years bitcoin will reach such big price, that would be really cool in my opinion

Your probably looking for few percent of whole world economy to be done in Bitcoin only first. Quite possible even sonner than 50 years, but obviously the scaling in posible transactions/second would need to be much higher than current few per second. Without huge scaling, I dont believe speculation only (without actual utility) can lead to hundred times higher prices.

It won't achieve that huge price in next 10 years, we need to wait for a very long time to experience it, bticoin has potential to achieve that price but don't know how exact time it will take.

do you really want to predict the price after 50 years? in the last 50 years we have seen a huge development in tech industry so I do not think that bitcoin will be alive after 50 years because may be super computers would appear that can break addresses

If we have super computers that can break bitcoin addresses by then,  then they will also be able to break bank accounts too so both would be obsolete.  Either way id Say we  will never reach 50k

Not the right question.  You mean - will the buying power of one BTC equal the buying power of 50k USD today?  Who cares if BTC is 50k if a can of coke costs $3,000...

everything always possible in this world, maybe btc price would be reach $50k maybe in 100-150 years later, but maybe btc price would be down to $0.1 at that year, no one knows.

True. I think the odds are good we hit 50k before 2030.. Purchasing power is another story

This is not impossible to happen, as long people use bitcoin and year after year  there are many bitcoin user becomes, and many big companies around the world accepting bitcoin, well its possible. The exact question is when will be the specific time for that. And maybe I'm too old when it happens. ;D

It' impossible to happen even in the future.. i think the maximum price will be in bitcoin is 5k value this is i think will be the price in the future..
But we don't what will happen in the future. we are lucky if we see that the price will be 5k in few years..

1 bitcoin reaching 50k usd is a pipe dream. Although it is very unpredictable at the moment, I don't think it will ever reach that high amount

perhaps yes 1 BTC will reach to $50k soon but my questions is does bitcoin will survive untill next 200 years?
because if it is possible i'm pretty sure that we all in these forum won't be witness because nobody in this world could life over than 200 years

If bitcoin price will be at 50k$ after 200 years,the ones who will benefit to it are our grand grand grandchildren
Cause were already lying 10ft on the ground.

BTC will reach value of $50K if it is able to survive for 200 Years. And nobody in this world can be witness of that time and price. So its useless to speculate the price which no one can confirm.

If Bitcoin should still exist and belonging to the dominant cryptos, maybe being the dominant cryto coin, I think it's value will be much much higher than just lousy 50k!

If there was no Blockstream, yes. Since they've ruined Bitcoin, no.

Thanks for your feedback people, its interesting to see how most believe that BTC will reach a very high price. Probably investing in businesses with BTC's is one of the best things to do with it at the moment I guess.

no never.
and even if it can reach in the time frame that you said, i don't care because i will be dead and long gone in 200 years and maybe bitcoin is dead in 200 years also. so who cares :)

It will definitely reach but it take a very long time like you said it take 50 to 200 years :P

It will depend on mass adoption and mentality of people towards bitcoin, if everyone start taking it positively then I am sure it can achieve that price in future.

50.000 dollars is a realistic figure in the next decade. Take into account that bitcoin is still a tiny 10 billion economy with potential to reach the trillion dollar marketcap, 50k dollars is perfectly reasonable if things go as expected.

Can we first reach a value of $1000 per coin before speculating about something insanely higher? It just doesn't make sense.

Sounds crazy and it is impossible to reached that price too. If that happens all those who save big amount of btc will be living just like a millionare.

whoever holding even 1 bitcoin is wishing for huge price rises like this, i have heard $10,000 for bitcoin but this is a new price suggestion for 50K and i have to give the same opinion about it as the other prices, it is not going to happen in our lifetime.

Its something un realistic and prediction too is made without sense. If such a increase happens, truly it would be on the path of vanishing.

don't think we'll ever see the price go up that much. maybe that we can reach an ultimate ath of $10,000 at some point in the far future. but for that to happen we need wall street level traders to jump into bitcoin with their money.

To even reach 10k we would have to assume that all the whales with 1000s of coins have already dumped and spread out their coins to other individuals. I think for that kind of money we couldnt have any whales with crazy amounts of bitcoin or else it would be too easy to crash the market. Therefore to get to that high a price we need to wait over time and hope that the coins can diversify a bit. Id assume this would take at least 10 years, probably more though by which time bitcoin will be obsolete anyway.

Thanks

whether the future whales are the current btc whales, or possibly wall street traders, it doesn't change anything. there will always be people with large amounts of coins. just look at the stock market. no difference at all when it comes to large holders.

No and it will not.

....

My basis? Simply none.

thats true, i think i should be buying my bitcoins right now in order to start making big money soon, i think it will reach 50k in like 10 years or so

What's the highest it will go in your opinion?

It can even go in millions in future, but the chances are very low, but if we think in reality then bitcoin has an potential to achieve the price of $10k in near future.

I agree. Im not thinking also on what is the price within 50-200 years from now. What im thinking is does bitcoin can survive after that years i guess you should also do that rather than dreaming.

It's not impossible, but it's not probable either. The chances of that happening as of what our current situation is, is it won't happen at all. Saying like "maybe in 50-200 years" isn't quite enough information to say that it "might" happen. There are so many possible events that may occur in that span of time and who knows if bitcoin is still alive and in circulation in that time? Just roughly 6 years ago, bitcoin has nearly no value and look at where it has gone right now. It's only been 6 years.

Reaching $50k per coin might be possible if the bitcoin market price goes to $10k with good support.

It can happen but I would not like it to be over 50 years because I am not sure of I still will be here it has to happen allot sooner then that.
It is possible for the value of the bitcoin to reach 50k but when it will happen is a big question.

Bitcoin reaching the price value of 50k is a tall order. Maybe it will reach when our grandchildren have grown grey hair

The Bitcoin price speculation withing the future is very interesting, most people i tell about Bitcoins, like the system very much. I am curious to see if any country will soon use BTC as its official country currency, I mean such thing would increase the Bitcoin price immediately, the question is whats gonna be the first country if any and how strong will the price increase be?

I am not sure if the Bitcoin is ever going to reach that price, it is nice and high and many people would sell there coins for that amount of money so would I.
But when it is going to happen is something that nobody knows, it is not even sure if it is going to happen.

Maybe, when the last one is mined. That would make it a 100% unproducable anymore, but other altcoins might interfere and that would be way in the future. In other words probably not in our lifetime.

And yet people have been saying the same when bitcoin was created - it is not possible for it reach $100 after all it is nothing but a couple digits in the online code.
Real value of bitcoin - based on its actual potential of storing important data - for example notarial acts in the blockchain is estimated to be $1000 as of now.

So Bitcoin is undervalued according to experts. It will take some time for more people to realize that, but that will happen eventually.

Some people undervalue it because Bitcoin is limited in its supply of bitcoins to 21 million overall that each bitcoin represents a share in the overall Bitcoin economy. Thus, if there was $21 billion worth of trade occurring after all bitcoins have been created then each bitcoin would be priced at $1000.

we all would love to see a huge rise for bitcoin that is beyond our wildest dreams. but prices like 50K and 10K are never going to be possible because there is never enough demand for bitcoin to reach such a high price.

Possibly the price might reach $10000 which is something a realistic value when we consider its growing potential. But when price increases above certain limit the opposition and regulation towards bitcoin and other digital currencies increases. To avoid such situation its better to have a value within certain limits.

It is possible for the price the reach 50k at some point in the future but when it will happen I do not know.
First we have to reach $1000 before are going to talk about anything higher then that because we have to stay realistic.

exactly! there are many threads where people are talking about insanely high price levels. it makes no sense to talk about $50,000 prices while we are far below the $700 price level. when we finally touch the $1000 price level again, then people can have a fantasy about reaching $2000 prices. and when we reached $2000 then people can speculate about reaching $3000. that makes sense. from below $700 to $50,000 doesn't make sense.

I think if we ever got bitcoin to go into 1000s then we would need to swap to some other method of mining.  The energy wasted to secure the network even now is ridiculous,  and for society's that have goals to be eco friendly bitcoin doesn't fit.

The network difficulty has been on a steady uptrend since Bitcoin’s creation. Expect mining to become more competitive as time goes on.

There is of course a chance of it happening and I think that it will happen somewhere in the future but the real question is how long it is going to take.
I will sell for sure if the price is going to be able to reach that high.
