Bitcoin Forum

I know all of us is waiting for bitcoin to get pass that super hard wall to break 800$ mark. The long wait is over bitcoin will gonna break that wall anytime this week. And before christmas it should be 850$. Believe me.

Bitcoin quarterly's are already at 850$ so 800$ is coming any moment now.

You know what happens when we break that wall right? Most people start selling to cash in on their investments to make a profit and this will push the price down again. These psycological walls are not good, because it creates barriers for natural progression. We should just forget about the price for now, and concentrate on increasing adoption. The price will increase through these barriers, if we concentrate our efforts on aggressive adoption methods. < Incentivized rewards for Bitcoin use at merchant levels through discounts >

in other words, nothing new.
this has been happening for as long as any market ever existed in the whole world. when a higher price is reached people sell, price comes down (correction) they buy back again => profit.


we are on a speculation board, everyone is only thinking about price and how they can make more profit from it changing.
i am not disagreeing with what you said though, we need adoption and real usage adoption not more investors who just buy bitcoin to make money (go to da moon)

my prediction before christmast
bitcoin price only incraese until reach 800 dollar
and 24 december above, bitcoin price down trend and down until new year, and early month 2017

Nope it will just keep going up. I have a friend who works in panama for the bank to the exchanges and he tells me fit is coming in faster then ever before.
This is facts.

By the end of the year we could have 800$. It seems very realistic. No sign of some major dump in the near future and when we touch 800$ the path for even higher rise is wide open. Let's just keep our coins and watch them growing.

By the end of today dude, by the end of the day!

More it will end of this weekend and in Monday we can see price over 800 so estimated range should be 810-830 by this year end
Lots predict price over 1000 but realist high is to go on 850 dont expect see more then this one

I disagree; I believe more investors are needed. Bitcoin is an excellent long-term asset for diversification to store value.  If just 1-3 percent of life-savings of the average person went to bitcoin we would have many orders of magnitude price increase, and it would be outside the control of the criminal central bankers, who steal money from bank depositors through bail-ins and worthless derivative ponzi schemes.

The price just jumped around $10 to the North, not really something that I get excited about. Even if we do reach the $800 level, it's still something that I see as an okay increase. The fact that we reach/touch the $800 level is what I find more interesting than the few bucks of profit. $850 seems to be on the higher side, but we'll see what happens. I still expect a serious correction to pop up any time soon. Tension is building...


I can't see western exchanges reach $800 today. Especially because I believe it will take several more days, perhaps a week. But this is assuming we won't see the price get dumped down. Anything is possible with Bitcoin. People know that by now.

The price has already touched the $790 mark and it will soon cross the $800 barrier pretty soon.Economic restrictions in major populated countries like India and China as well as the general acceptance of bitcoin is leading the price growth .Here is an article about the rise of bitcoin in details on why bitcoin crushed every other coin this year in bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-16/bitcoin-s-rally-crushed-every-other-currency-in-2016-here-s-why) .

I am so glad I have been a bitcoin bull for 5 straight years now. Feels good to be right and laugh in the face of the infidels and altcoin pumpers.

My friends though I was mad. Not so mad now

This is looking more like some fundie spiritual religious site every day... This isn't about crypto anymore, it's about who is detached most from real life and has the greatest delusions.

I'm glad that for some of you reality is kicking in though, we've seen expectations go down from 10000 by the end of the year to 6000 to 3000 to 1000 to 800.

Well if you hadn't been a bull for 5 years you could have made a helluvalot more profit on bitcoin. Reality is a bitch.

You are slating me for making tens of thousands of pounds?

Do trolls ever give up?

Idiot. I'm glad I didn't sell at $10 bitch

Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rwsuXHA7RA)  ;)

That poor shmuck was a born loser and I'm surprised he actually shows himself on this forum.

We can expect more than 900$ until 2017

The sell-out that happened before the July halving tells us that these people should be cashing out before the price ever touches the 800 dollar mark. It means that they should be selling before the price gets there, they should be selling right now. And that is what we likely saw for the last few days with the price moving mostly sideways. When it reaches this new high, it would quickly turn into a new support.

We are near 800 this price so it's matter of time now will it be today or tomorrow think that before Xmas we will see 800 price for sure

anything is possible in bitcoin. Well as of now i could see that it reaches 800 but i dont know if the price decreases instantly. But as my self i do believe that it stays @ 800 the price of bitcoin until the end of the year and then it will pump slowly. But we cant really predict the run of bitcoin lets just watch and see

For people really interested in the proper development of the blockchain technology the price of bitcoin is just anecdotic, but it is understandable the great joy that this consistent price increase is generating among new bitcoiners and speculators.

I prefer to keep in mind that this is technology and by itself it is amazing regardless of the price, although of course I also welcome the $800.

we are hoping for that and then some more, but come on dude lets be real here. 2017 is only 13-14 days away and there is no way in hell price can go up $120-$130 in this short period unless we hear some crazy news like block size going up in the next 5 days or China announcing bitcoin as their official fiat.:D

Listen guys, no one is selling, are you selling your btc. Nope. Just like I thought.

The price will only rise for the next many months.

You will probably need to sell for your leaky roof?

Yes everything is possible on bitcoin thats why we are here on speculation board and we could speculate as much as we want and as i see we have most the same thoughts and beliefs on bitcoins price.It will possibly reach or break on $800 barrier on this last weeks of this last month and could possibly rise even more on next year.

it's so near maybe this coming christmas remember there's always surprises when its christmas day and if its not on christmas day maybe this coming year. year 2017 will be good if bitcoin price will start into $800 and maybe around june/july it will be $1000 barrier. there's nothing wrong to have a hope. if its reach that price that will be a good advantage for us. remember alot of users waiting till the price of bitcoin will rise more so they can cashitout but if there's a lot will cashitout that will also be the reason why bitcoin will drop down .

Cant wait to pass that $800 mark. I think many people will be happy for that high prize. Especially the ones who sell bitcoin and keeping it for a long time now.

The difference between now and 800 is laughable, there is nothing to look forward to about passing 800. Now passing 1200 will be special.

i think you're too rich thats why you called it as a laughable for me just like other user that started from $500 bitcoin barrier this is a great and also very good opportunity for us because we're totally having a great income if its happen. im still looking forward till bitcoin hit $1000 barrier because thats the real deal. just like started from the bottom now we're here lol. maybe quarter year of 2017 this will happen. who knows. there's nothing wrong to dream haha  ;D

All this topics are only a guest. Theres no proof. Some says 1000$ price anytime,others 2000$ in 2017.
No one can predict the price of bitcoin. Just wait and see it for yourself.

I think the bitcoin prices next year will be increased maybe $ 800 up to $ 850 for the first month of 2017 then it will stop for that price. I dont believe bitcoin next year wil be lowet than $750

We are just a tiny push away from reaching $800 this year as we still have around 14 days to go. It of course doesn't mean it will happen for sure, but the chances are there.

Some people believe that the price will go down as soon as we reach $800 but I doubt it will go under the $700 mark without a serious amount of drama.

But you should be prepared for everything, so make sure you secure profits from time to time as that will allow you to buy back if the price happens to tank.

you are just guessing and your numbers are like this only because price started to show some movement again today!

otherwise $850 is a far away target which needs at least 1-2 months to be achieved, unless something big changes with bitcoin that breaks all expectations. and since that is not happening, 850 is not happening either.

Of course, we don't know exactly what will happen, if the price will go higher than $800 or if it will be almost on $800, but one important thing we know: the price is stable on the $700 house and that is a good news. It can take the time it needs to increase more, but we know it won't down to $500-$400... Maybe a very little chance to reach to $600 again, but really low chance...

The Christmas gift already was received by us, BTC is in a high price, but maybe Santa Claus can give us an extra gift yet, who knows...

Bitcoin prce right now can be continues because of new era of bitcoin and i think we can not touch again back to 600 value unless if there is exchange site are hack.. this is the only reason that i always heard when the price of bitcoin was crash but bitcoin still alive and keep increasing that i think the price will increase more soon..

$600 is very far from happening again. But we should still be vigilant as it could happen when there is instability in exchanges and news of hacks and other forms of threats to bitcoins. This fear really causes unrest on everybody holding bitcoins. So I think it should be watched careful as we reach our target $800 by Christmas. It's just a little bit more to get there, but I think we'll get there.

$600 isn't as far away as you seem to think or realize. We all know how the price can tank significantly in a quick fashion. I think the drop from +$1000 to far below $200 is the ultimate example of how far the price can tank. Overall, everything looks good as even the sentiment seem to have reached an all time high if I browse quickly through the forum. I am sure that when we break through $800 that the good sentiment will increase even further.

I thought it reach it already. The price is $7 more than what it was yesterday at $788 when I last looked at it.

Damn google shocked me when i typed "1 bitcoin to usd" lol 1 Bitcoin equals 791.17 US Dollars sadly it's not acurate.
According to preev the price is 786.3 dollars each, in some exchangers like bitfinex it touches 788 dollars each, well we're just need 12 dollars to hit 800 dollars, i believe before christmast we could see 800 dollars again, hoping it will happen.

That is what price I had when I checked I guess. :-\
It was bitfinex's price but their's is higher than other on preev price rate website by $2-3 all the time.

That can wait. Bitcoins going to the moon,

i did the same search for "1 bitcoin to usd" but google brings me only regular results! coindesk, preev and xe respectively not one of those boxes showing the price on top like other things. that is strange.

anyways i think google takes its price from a couple of places most probably bitfinex and coinbase and these two have been higher (right now btx is $791.8 while btc-e is $779.4)

Coinbase prices seem to be a way higher than in most other places. It looks like there is a big spread between buy and sell price there, though I didn't check, and Google takes the higher value as price quotation. Anyway, I don't think that many people are really using Coinbase wallet to buy and sell their bitcoins due to spreads.

Forget Coinbase!There is almost no volume.This exchange doesn't have any significance.
Use the known bigger exchanges like Kraken, BitFinex, Bitstamp, BTCC etc as bases.
Or bitcoinaverage.com is also very good source.

Better to speculate only $800 on Christmas price can't jump over $850 by that time which is quite near. This week price can get easily pushed to over $800.

well, maybe with a little patience, bitcoin prices will rise to $ 800. many people are waiting for it to happen, because it would be a good start for 2017 that will come. perhaps, the price of bitcoin will actually above $ 800 at Christmas time, well, can not wait to wait for it. we should have a lot of bitcoin when it happened.

Its getting dumped now, whats happening?

Are you sure? I checked the price and still 785$ been stable at 780$ up this week, lets hope bitcoin could reach 800 before christmas eve.,and a lot of.holders will be selling after it reach the 800.

he is talking about the 3-5 USD drop and he is calling that a "dump"

the rise has been good so far, a very smooth transition towards $800 and there is no sign of any kind of slowing down. the rise will continue, and these are corrections happening because of day trading.

Checking the price like 3 times per week and I see a nice rise from ~$730 to ~$790 with a slight spikes/drops within hours
And yes breaking $800 barrier is possible before January 2017 in my opinion :)

before Christmas i do expect next peak will be $800 indeed the current price has pretty near to reach at those price but i don't think the price will rise up with faster but rather than speculate next price of bitcoin i think i would save small amount of my bitcoin untill Christmas to see next movement

That's really true, bitcoin is close to 800$ as never before. I'm pretty sure bitcoin wil hit this point in next few days and probably on new year it's going to be 800+$ per 1 BTC. I think that is going to be the best new year present to all bitcoin users.

It always happens as the price reach certain point and daily traders can't wait to sell out their coins at the time, that's why the price keep fluctuate every day.
We already separated into some groups: buy and sell instantly for faster profits; holders until reach >$1000, real bitcoin users as daily currency.
We need to attract more adopters as users daily spending that believe bitcoin is worth than fiat and easier to do transaction over the world without bank system, but still there are a lot to resolve before that's going to be happen.

Im wishing that tho hoping that bitcoin will totaly break the wall and hit $800 this december before christmas or before new year before i sell my bitcoin i want to hold them waiting for the spike to happen i will expect this kind of spike because it already done last year.

Well I really really hope that happens $800 would be good and $850? even better  :)

There are several known personality to predict bitcoin price ranging $800 - $850 at the end of this year.  One of them were from the whaleclub (https://whaleclub.co/).  They see market is bullish and it is possible to break $800 barrier soon.  There are new funds coming from the new people flocking in to bitcoin so it is very possible for $800 Bitcoin soon.  I checked in google yesterday, Bitcoin touched $790 and now at $789.66 as of time of writing.   So i guess, it is just a matter of a few days before we see Bitcoin @ $801 +

preev.com is my homepage these days, whenever i open up my browser it will come up :)
there is still 10-20 dollars left to $800 though and these whole numbers always have some kind of a psychological effect that will create some kind of barrier for being broken and unless Chinese decide to pump bitcoin it would be hard to break it in USD value.

The price is still below $800. We need more good news for the price to be over $800. Or it might take a few more weeks.

Well i am waiting for that price and i hope it can be happen i have few bitcoins to sell in case if the price hit that value. for now the rest i just always holding it for a long time and maybe the price increase will continue to increase..

That is not true. Today for example Coinbase has more volume than Bitstamp, Bitfinex or Kraken.

I wouldn't mind getting to see that $800 figure, and the closer we can get to it the better imo. Nothing better than seeing your investment gain value consistently.

I'm surprised that there haven't been any major corrections yet, and that's making me kind of nervous. I would have expected for something to happen by now.

it's really near that's why im very excited this coming christmas may be by the end of the year we could evenly hit atleast $900 then next year bitcoin could really reach $1000 each. last year bitcoin has a lot of surprises too so im thinking about the same thing that bitcoin could really have a surprises this coming christmas day. i think if we could reach $800 there will be more investors on bitcoin because they will be amazed about the price of bitcoin currency.

$800 is so near and it will reach before Christmas, it's already 792.64 USD on Bitstamp and it will continue to increase and reach the $900 after the year ends as what majority are expecting that every January the price increases. So be ready for the big pump ;D

I might be blind or stupid but can you tell me where exacly you can find info about volume information of exchanges, preferably 24 hr volume rankings on https://cryptowat.ch/ (https://cryptowat.ch/)

I think we just reached $800. Well this is based on the website I exchange coins at and converting the price into dollars, its already $803 already. But looking at Preev though it's still at $789. Which is kinda far from our exchange. I just realized though, that the prices at my exchange are really far from how preev prices it.

So far none of the major western exchanges have reached the $800 level yet, so we'll have to wait a bit more. Bitstamp sits at $794 right now, and Chinese exchanges at $804, so it requires a gentle push from a large player to finally touch the $800 level that so many people have been waiting for. Preev is just basing its price on plenty of exchanges. In that regard, the average price that you end up seeing is always lower than many of the other exchange prices. Bitcoin is a free market, where exchanges can have somewhat of their own price. Look at Bitstamp and BTC-E for example. Bitstamp rate is $794, while BTC-E sits at $780.

That is great to see $800 is just one step away sooner or later big whales push to above $800 today.

800 is not so much a magic number imo. Sure it will probably cuase a small run after breaking through, but it will settle in the low 81x-82x for sure after the run hype dies off.

Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the current pricing of bitcoin and wouldn't mind breaking 800!

Or dump in down to $730. I hope for the former of course.

It is not a magic number, but it definitely is a psychological barrier. Human brains are not fully rational and we tend to value these round numbers. Bitcoin holders will feel slightly richer when the price crosses $800, than they will when the price is hovering at $79X.

It will reach $1000 in the end and that is not much of a dream. If you brought at $500, you are doing very well! Well done.

Bitcoin had already been above and substantially above $800, so it is just making up for leeway. Aside from that, the price could rise above $800 just as easily as it could go down to $750 in a matter of hours. Things seem to be highly unpredictable these days, before Christmas and New Year. I can feel how nervous the traders have become now. Everyone is waiting for the correction much talked about recently, but it still doesn't come.

We are almost to touch $800 price of bitcoin since we all see that it already reach for about $786-789/bitcoin and a little bit more we will definitely reach it before the year ends i supposed.We will be all happy to see this price increase into bitcoin even on gradually but surely.

I am hoping too that we would reach the amount of 800 dollars and higher before this year ends and more exciting if happens before Christmas, considering as a bonus for all of us. Let's just wait and let it happen so we can make more profits.

No, I don't think we'll see 850$ by Christmas. We'll settle at 700$ by February and there won't have any big price increase until 2019 for me from what I see today.

Nothing happens so close to the end of the year, except dumps, but I doubt they are going to happen any time soon

I don't expect the break of 800 until late in january, but then I don't see a stop in the rise

yes all possibilities can occur. by looking at the graph at this time then we will see the positive movement of bitcoin. bitcoin prices continue to rise, even the volume of transactions looks very nice. bitcoin is increasingly being used by the world community. I am optimistic it will reach 800USD  at the end of the year.

It is almost $800 in the Chinese exchanges
Btcc and okcoin $799
Well huobi crossed now $800 exactly $800,2
Hope the other exchanges will follow  ;)

Here is the price in the different exchanges for the moment
The lowest one is BTC-e with $781.5
The highest prices is in those Kraken $799.2 and the Chinese exchanges of course
BTCC $800.76 ; OKCoin $801.07 and Huobi $801.24  :)

A little more push and we are there at $800.00 dollars and it is very exciting to all of us here. For me, I am very optimistic that by year ends we reach $800 and probably next year we hit $1,000. Let us all be positive.

Just a bit more and we will be seeing $800 Bitcoin.  Probably, we can see all the exchanges having Bitcoin at $800+ before Christmans.  There is still 4-5 days left to push the price to $800 and the market is bullish, there is more excitement now, that we are near $800 USD.

Better to wait for the price decreases i think it can be happen in this januarry or around march..
We can not speculate well but we can give our prediction..  800 value can be seen in june in 2017 this is what i seen and predicted..

Right we will see this price tomorrow for sure latest before this weekend we can look at Chinese market cuz they are alway in front

This is not enough.
I would like to see one major push to really break this level and heading us to 850 or higher.Why?Because I expect some pullback which could be used by some as a chance for more accumulation before continue moving upwards to the ATH.

We are happily waiting for it to hit 800$ and even 1000$ as I have more miners coming in this January.

789 and 790 usd in Bitstamp and bitfinex respectively but the interesting point is the price in localbitcoin 849 usd in preev :o

Well yeah 1000$ is something we can expect before feb of 2017. With the increasing BTC gambling and addition of many casinos to the BTC world , it seems like BTC can reach the highest ever price of 1250 +$ per BTC. Christmas is the best time to sell as there will be many buyers and the demand of BTC will be quite high .

I have seen it go up and not even go down anymore.
So this barrier will be reached no problem with the way the price has been behaving since this rise has began.

Localbitcoins is always above the exchanges with price and it's logical. It requires people to meet in person and that takes more effort than a couple clicks and much more time.

It has been going up in value for quite some time now, but you're in the Bitcoin world long enough to know that things can and most likely will change very quickly. Especially when you consider that every now and then some sort of drama will pop up causing the price to go down significantly. This time isn't any different. I am just counting the days till we see a massive decline in price for whatever reason. It will happen.

If you want to know "standard" bitcoin price. Then you can't use:

1. Local exchanges - they sell more expensive BTC (due to limited volume and increased demand)  - just look at Indian and African exchanges.
2. P2P trading platforms - there is additional 'fee' when you want to buy bitcoin in a more anonymous fashion.
3. This tool is probably the best service where you can quickly estimate average price of BTC - http://preev.com/btc/usd (http://preev.com/btc/usd)

Were still waiting for it but for how long does bitcoin can get through 800$ ,i cant wait to see it. Were heading nearer to 2017 and 800$ is just like imposible to break.

Almost all exchanges are above $789 except btc-e $782 and the three Chinese above $800
It is a matter of time - chronos said it  :P

see bitcoin high prices today, makes me even more passion in collecting bitcoin. less than $ 20, the price will reach $ 800 bitcoin. it can happen at any time, but I believe, bitcoin prices will reach $ 800 before 25 December 2016.

not true, I bought at lower price from localbitcoins just few days ago. You don't have to meet in person, I just bank in the money to his bank account and he send me the bitcoins. Just require trust in this one. But buy from someone with good rating is a must.

Yes it may touch $800 price levels at any time sooner. In wild speculation it may reach even $900 price levels levels well before this Christmas. Because, once bitcoin prices testing strong resistance levels $800 then no one would stop it flying toward next resistance levels. So breaking $800 levels is more important as of now.

I prefer https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd

They average the prices at virtually all the exchanges, weighted by volume, excluding the volumes at zero-fee exchanges. They're also used as the base price by most BTC ATMs here in Toronto.
_____________

They're currently at $795USD having touched $797 earlier today.

Close, so close. Any day now.

Price seems to have been trading sideways for three days already. Bears are aggressively fighting with bulls, and the demand for bitcoins, which had been overwhelming the supply recently, looks like being balanced finally at sub-$800 levels. People are obviously now fixing profits. If the number of bears runs dry faster than the number of bulls we will break through the resistance at $800. Else we could crash down to $750 with a quick selloff commencing.

Nice illustration here mate which is really true.If the demand will be more than the supply we will surely breakout the $800 price in no time and we are already almost there actually.Just a little more movement on the price we will touch this price but we should expect that there are times that it will go down again since people will surely secure their profits.

Not being a bear, I am still surprised how good Bitcoin price is behaving. We are observing a solid growth, or at least price is not descending for  a little while already. There is nothing bad about cooling down the indicators a little bit. Now having said that, I expect the price to correct a bit more after Christmas, as these who want to get the profits will do that before year end, for tax reasons.

I know it gonna break the wall and it will pass through the speculation price, Bitcoin is getting strong again i want to sell my bitcoin to indian because the bitcoin there is already 840$ they buying bitcoin plus 15% of it's original rate. I want to sell my bitcoin before christmas to have some to eat.

You are going to eat like a king! An Indian King :)

If you are very much confident that bitcoin will cross its resistant levels why not you just hold your bitcoins for the target of $1000 price levels. I'm not expecting people will start dumping after Christmas because there are continuous demand for bitcoins as more number of new people keep on adopting from all over the world.

The bitcoin longterm trend shows in the upwards direction.
I see no reason for those who are holding for a longer time now to sell after christmas.
Those who hold are not actually in need of money, so they can wait to a time where either the price gets stable or might even drop again.

We are almost there just little more seem like Xmas is best time of the year
just hope we will stay on that price over and after Xmas

The 800 dollar is pretty near anmd I hope we will reach it before Christmas it would be a nice gift right ?

About 10$ from 800$ at this moment (I am using preev.com), we will get there very, very soon. We should be above 800$ on Christmass if a sudden drop does not happen ( hope it does not). Maybe 850$ around New year? Could be very possible if the price keeps rising..

There is demand on one side, but there is also a supply that is growing each day, on the other. I guess, we should see soon signs of the end of this bull leg. A (small) correction would do very good, to get the energy (cash) for the next leg up afterwards. It would also help altcoins to bounce back, as this recent Bitcoin rally got them pressed against the wall.

touch down. 800!

Price is up about %1 so either $800 or close to it depending on what source you are using.
Slowly climbing over the last couple hours. Is $800 the new bottom?

Today price is $798 on preev and still keep rising at the time I write this post, very close to what we've been waiting for in this month.
I think, we could see $800 today, feel can not wait to screenshot the price and show it to my brother and friends.
But, the price will decline too for sure because some people already have intended to sell their coins at the moment when bitcoin price reach that point.

Looks lit it just hit $801 momentarily on Bitstamp.

$800 hit on GDAX

Yes we did past the $800 mark so it is definitely smooth sailing forward from here on in all the way to $1000 by the New Year.
I am hoping I mean. ;)
Congratulations all who have some to show for it! ;D

800 dollar is near and its coming very close what is good and I think that it will be very profitable too what is of course good.

We're already here! http://www.coindesk.com/

Congratz erryone, and I just won a bet on betmoose :P
Bitcoin above $800 before Jan 2017  (https://www.betmoose.com/bet/bitcoin-above-800-before-jan-2017-2353?ref=Hyena)

Yea margin is reached on all exchanges except one btc-e still few dollars under but by end of this day it will change for sure.
Now to remain over 800 for Xmas and New Year and for us all to go in the new 2017 with price + 800$

BTC-E is being kept below the $800 level on purpose as this allows certain traders to profit from the arbitrage opportunity. People there will of course slowly eat through the sell order which will result in the price touching $800, but that's mainly due to the fact that this exchange hasn't much traders with enough buying power to make a real difference. It's just a few large traders ruling BTC-E with iron fist. Right now there is nearly 600BTC worth of sell orders from $795 to $800. For other exchanges it's nothing, but in BTC-E's case, it's a lot.

if u lose, how do you pay them ? they only ask for your address...

It is a bet normally you send the amount to an address so when you win it gets multipled and when you lose you will get nothing
For now Congratulations everyone bitcoin is rewriting history with a new (not exactly but a better) and a solid (i hope) record  :)
The promising thing is that the Chinese still leading with ~$8 difference

when the price of $ 800, many bitcoin users are satisfied. because so many are predicting the price of bitcoin will rise to $ 800 before Christmas. Well, I am also very happy with the current price of bitcoin. I feel that these prices will continue to rise, up to $ 850, maybe it will be achieved when Christmas.

We are at 813 dollars right now. Looks like all the people that said that we were going to break 800 then quickly start growing because of the beaten physiological fears where right. This is a total rally and now sky is the limit. New ATH will be there in no time, remember that last time we went from 300 to 1200 in a matter of 10 days, everything is possible.

Wow amazing, we made it! The going up movement of the price now is unbelievable. I know we are now very near to break the ATH, I think we can reach it maybe next year. Let us celebrate and enjoy everyone getting the bonus, happy holidays :)

Yeah, that's what I was telling (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1718680.msg17240464#msg17240464) myself just a little over a day ago. Permabears had been aggressively selling in the $780-790 range as expected, but bulls seem to have spiked them on their horns nevertheless. The bears are now licking the wounds. Let's see what they will reply with. Don't forget to book some profits while the price is going up, boys and girls.

See ya at $1,000!

It's even hitting 800EUR on bitstamp for brief moments!

its already reach $800 and its time to celebrate guys. now it's on $820 and i can say being a bitcoin user is really worth it. mostly if you are a pioneer because you've been part of the bitcoin family since then and we've see the price of bitcoin when its been drop down on its lowest part and being grow on its popularity. once i think that bitcoin would never touch the $700 barrier but right now its been breached that price. i think bitcoin is really powerful

If the price stays above the $800 level for the rest of the year, that will be a good sign for the next few months.

Let's test first the stability of the price above $800. Yes celebrate since it's already a profit for those hodlers able to bought at below price to that but check out for possible scenarios of a big dump following a big dump. The good thing here is, with the price movement situation like this, likely no one wants to sold. If ever the resistance around the current price or let's say above $800 maintained after dealing in process of correction, then we can have a good start at starting of the year.

Let's take advantage of this price increase. Up for people to hold or bought more as part of increasing the quantity of their precious coins to feel much more the profit.

I predict 840$ until Christmas and at least 880$ until new Year

It is already + $840 in the three Chinese exchanges  :P
Hope only the other exchanges will follow it and continue the positive rise  ;)

For now its impossible i saw that the price is gradually decrease from the preev price $821 into $818 and i think more decrease will be happen soon.. and i hope we can not experience of large crash this time.. if it will happen i think people will be panic sell..

Yeah, bitcoin price in China exchanges are the highest compare to others.
There won't be any panic sell, people already do daily trading and set certain point to automatically sell their bitcoin.
It's normal that bitcoin price fluctuate but I doubt about large crash in the nearly future, at least until next year.
People will stick to their own style, buy and sell or hoarding, choose your side.

Didn't know you can bet on the price before.
I will give that site a try as i see it rising until the new year without stopping now.
It is on the sky train for sure until 2017.
Hopefully the new years brings us the same results as they have for the past week and today. ;D

I didn't know that it's possible to make a bet on the price for bitcoin. I would like to make one. I thought it's possible only between friends and that's it.
But yes! Bitcoin crossed the point of 800$ that's great! The next point is 1000$! :D

For the bitcoin, there is no need to bet on the price. You just need to buy and hold and you will be rewarded.

You can bet those BTC that the price will go even higher. Then you will end up with even more BTC  ;D

I was really hoping for it to hold a bit more until next year as I was tempted to finally buy btc with some income I might come into early next year. Nevertheless, it's a good sign for all of us small holders who continue to save up bitcoin for the future.

Next wall at 850, anyone?

$800 is gone everywhere, even in btc-e

What's the next barrier

More important: when will be corrections time and how hard will it be?

For now I prefer the price to settle at $800 instead of rushing further where we will see some heavy dumpings afterwards. Building support levels around $800 is the most important thing now. Regarding the corrections, I think we aren't very far from seeing some sort of a correction as the price has gone up pretty high already. That's why I find building support around the $800 level to be the most important thing.

No one is selling except small holders, you wont see a correction until 2018 is my guess. Its just going to keep going up and up and up and up.

Yeah, but you surely need to have expertise to do that, IE. bankroll management, otherwise you can lose a little in a short squeeze, get rekt, and loose even more regardless from if Bitcoin price kept going up or not in the long term, or at the end of the month.

However, by yesterday itself Bitcoin touched the 820$. Hopefully will gonna see more value in future times and i guess this price pump will continue till the January end.

This is starting to not seem organic... what is the reason for this 30 hour spike?

First of all congratulation for winning that bet,i regret deeply didn't joined the contest though my prediction is true.
I personally feel so satisfied that the price touch 800 dollars again and i am surprised that it touches 840 dollars at this point, however i am just worried about the price would be down if all those people will sell their bitcoin in order to get profit. As for me i don't sell my coins i'll hold them untill 2017 cause i truly believe the price would be up higher than right now.

We are already at our goal the next stop before the year ends is 950$. We only have 9 days to get that 950$ price. Because of this movement on the price we can achieved that price before 2017

Better to change the name of the topic to '' touching down to $900 is near'' since the price of bitcoin is above $850 in all the exchanges
Exactly around $870 in the western one and $885 in the Chinese  :o
Seems promising  ;)

Bitcoin now are in the price of 864$ dollar through the help of indians i think we are not confident that bitcoin will be reach the speculation price target of 1000$ bitcoin will be in demand Christmas is near all over the world will be occur by bitcoin and new people will be intertest on bitcoin.

I will not sell my coins now whatever happens, maybe next year I'll make a cash out.
Yeah, the thread title should update also. The price of bitcoin is really fast approaching going up, touch down to 900 dollars is very near. This year is great for me and I'm hoping a better one in 2017.

indeed and if the market is going to make a good movement then that price is surely will be reach in just 9 days but for now, the price is get down for waiting the increasing soon. i hope that we can see the new price in new year so we can make a good profit with this and we can buy something in new year.

wow. This incredible, bitcoin prices rose very high at the moment. we all feel the impact of rising bitcoin. some time ago bitcoin prices much lower, and the current price of bitcoin have achieved what we expected.

Shouldn't we lock this tread already, as bitcoins has already reach $800? ;D

Maybe let's make a new thread that says "touch down to $900 is near!" To reflect the proper situation we have now. I just hope it doesn't drop when I am not on my PC on christmas so I can sell too when it drops. I hope we see more increases and hope that bitcoins sky rockets to another level.

I was amaze that bitcoin price increase that fast before i fall asleep yesterday i saw the bitcoin price over $800 dollars and i woke up and saw the price of bitcoin i don't really expect that bitcoin increase that fast hold bitcoin i knnow it will be reach at the price of $1000

Its pretty hard we have reached that amount because it was a journey but it is going fast and I think it can even reach a higher amount.

We indeed already made it was is just so insane and it just has been done so fast, I cannot believe it and its just right now so profitable for me too, just so awesome!

Touching the 800 dollar is nice but if it can reach the 1000 dollar before new year it even would be so nice also profitable, it would be a big present for me.

Touch down to $900 is near lol. It rose really fast in some 24 hours. Its $899 now, cant believe it. It might just reach $1000 on new year or a few days after that. Have to stay tuned for more updates :)

I guess this thread should be locked now :)

EDIT: The price is not $901.89
So better make a thread saying touch down near $1000 then it will rise faster I guess XD

   I cant say that I believed you, but looks like you was right all along. Price is very close to 900 and from now I will try to pay attention on your predictions.
   Many people here like to predict future price of bitcoin, just few people are good in that.
   Price is already high, next goal is to keep it high, can bitcoin hold this for a while?

Kind of a nice Christmas present to tradwrs. Guess we have something to be busy about apart from opening our gifts and giving something to our loved ones. Well, I guess I've been very good this year for Santa to reward me with such. A potential climb to a new ATH, too, if this pump continues or surpass $1200.

Btw, happy holidays everyone.

It is already $910. Any reason for that?

Expanding adoption coupled with price manipulation, of course. As I said yesterday, it will be clear in a short while if this grown is organic or on "juice". If the price establishes itself around its current levels, it will be real adoption and we could expect the price to continue to rise in the future. If this price surge is manipulated, then it won't stay at these levels for long and it should drop sooner rather than later.

The price already been drop and back to 800 value and i think many people are actually satisfied what is the price right now they have no strong believe that the price could be hit at 1k value if that is happen that more people are not believing that the price could be hit to 1k value the price will drop if the price hit 900 value again soon.. if there is more people are investing..this part of increase and decrease price is just a normal the same movement of the price last year..

Wow, that is really good. So i think we are having a good greetings to the new year. This new year must ne really good for the bitcoin users and other cryptocurrency.

The price is still trading around $900. Where did you see that Bitcoin had dropped back to $800? There seems not to be too much sell pressure right now, therefore the price could easily surge another 100 dollars in a matter of a few days, if not overnight. Bears have been heavily beaten down at $780-790 price level, and what's left of them is likely preparing to fight again around $1,000. It is more about how much demand is left there which determines how high the price might go.

It just dropped back to $890. It needs consolidation.

The price is passing the $900 line then go down in a matter of hours from a while.
For the moment it is around $894, the best part is that the Chinese exchanges have always a price above $900 and the drop didn't went too deep so it is kinda reassuring  :)

It should be clear by now, that it is mostly manipulation that drove us to these levels. In terms of adoption, not much has changed in the last six months or so, when the price nearly doubled.
Therefore, I would wait till the correction to check where the new stable level is. I guess we may see a retest of $700.

Yes!!! Bitcoin is increasing so fast every now and then, it is now $840, so lets wait altogether and have fun this coming Christmas for high value of bitcoin, and for sure we gonna reach now the $900 fast.

We are not there yet to make any definitive conclusion, to be honest. The price fall that we just witnessed may well have been a single big whale or a group of smaller whales cashing out. We should wait a few days and see if Bitcoin consolidates above the $800 level. If the price doesn't crash substantially below $800 and stays at that level for a few weeks just like it did with the +$750 level, then we could expect a next wave of demand overwhelming supply with prices surging to $1,000 per coin and hopefully above.

Every touchdown is higher than before.
That means bitcoin is just fine. Cash out will happen. People want hot money. Sometimes.

A retest of $700 sounds too drastic. We have fallen to $860 and I think we might head to $820 levels before resuming the steady increase forward.
Unless a whale with bitcoins wants to crash the market, we won't go too low since the $930 peaks are still fresh in people's minds.

If you ask me, it is not the right time now. The market seems to be very resilient to such efforts at the moment. What we saw might well have been some whale cashing out. I don't say that he might have wanted to purposefully crash the market, for example, to buy back way lower, but even if so, his efforts mostly failed. The price rebounded, and it seems to be on the way up all over again. On the other hand, I'm not a big whale or any whale at all, so take my word for what it's worth and with a grain of salt.

Bitcoin is still quite a volatile asset, so a 20% correction wouldn't be something unusual. According to this article: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-10-27/needham-raises-bitcoin-price-target-848-heres-why Bitcoin's volatility is smaller than three years ago, but still one should be prepared for a solid correction, once it starts. At the moment the real correction hasn't started yet, we are still in the phase where bulls and bears are trying who is stronger. 

I guess people will be waiting for four digit price levels so profit booking may not happen at the current price levels as long as we are yet to enter into the new year. Because, there are many speculations for the New Year, so obviously we can expect traders still will be waiting for the further price surge.

Not sure about four digit. Not in this up-leg. The time is running and we still are quite far away from there. Having the rising trend at such pace as we had recently is complicated to sustain for a longer period of time. Therefore we either speed further up and get there (less likely) or we start getting horizontal trend that will morph into a correction (more likely scenario).

A 20% correction would be swallowed up by all the hungry new users,if you are hoping to benefit from a possible flash crash thesedays you will need to get your money into the exchange and get ready to pull the trigger if it happens because I don't think it will last long if it even happens...

Well are still lucky that the price was hit at 800 value that we do not know that the price can be more increase until 1k value..
The movement of the price is just like the or there is similarity too from the past year that everytime the christmass is nearly the price is going up too and after christmass you can see that the price is gradually decreases..

900 will stabilise when people have dumped all the coins they have to dump and then we're off to 1000+  :D

bitcoin prices have penetrated 910USD. this time anything can happen. even dumping can happen quickly. we should be able to estimate the right time to predict movements in the price of bitcoin.

Touch down to 1000$ is next. So now i am believing that getting 1000$ anyrime this last days of december is real.
If bitcoin touch 1000$ before the year ends ,getting ath in 2017 could achieve.

Bears have been heavily defeated at sub-800 levels. Everyone and his dog was predicting that bears would come out as downright winners. But they were proved wrong. Right now there is no strong resistance even at $900 level, the price easily crosses that barrier, which clearly shows that the permabears have surrendered for the most part at around $780-790 prices. There may be just not enough bulls to push the price a lot higher than $900. And that would mean greater volatility in the coming weeks.

that is an optimistic scenario. I don't mind if it happens, but the charts tell me something different. It will be good to see how we behave in the correction to check the new support levels.

I'm a bit more "pessimistic" regarding the $1000 before new year!
We already have seen a fantastic run this year and the will $1k mark will have to wait until next year.
Right now I'm hoping we will not see an over reacted dump! Some good correction however would be healthy!
And then let's go for 1000 and new all time highs in 2017!Would be a good start for a new year!

While we are very happy with where the price is standing right now, it's not enough for greedy people as they are looking for more since they entered the market not far away from current levels. That's why you should always make sure you buy at the time the price is being dumped down heavily. Look at how much time people have had to scoop up as many coins as possible below the $500 levels. For whatever reason they cashed out everything, or they were constantly waiting for the price to fall down, but it didn't happen. That's why they buy now just to not miss out on another upwards movement.

Not really, now price is dropping as you know when people demand(buy into) bitcoin then price automatically grows like a bubble and everytime bitcoin price rises more than $20 in a week the holders get greedy and start to dump as they already know there might not be another opportunity presenting itself anytime soon and that causes the drop.
Believe me if only those trading daily do their trades as usual without the extra dump price will most certainly go above $1k.

The price would most likely be trading sideways if only day traders were present in the market. It would look like a Brownian motion around some mean value. They themselves can't make the price move massively in any direction. It is big buyers and sellers like cryptowhales and their kind that determine the trend and define the direction where the price will go. Day traders only provide liquidity and cannon fodder.

Price has not yet started to drop. Not yet. Remember that Bitcoin is a volatile asset and thus daily movements of 3%, that at the current price is about $30, is something normal. Once we see movements that are bigger than that we can talk about sellers taking over and how resistant to that we are.

Well, when rising very high, certainly will decline but I'm sure the price will not be far from it, and I hope that prices remain stable. but, the price of $ 800 is a fair baaik for the beginning of the year.
in fact, when this happened back price stability. bitcoin prices stabilized at a price range of $ 850 to $ 900, and if it lasted until the end tahunn, maybe we can be sure that it will be the initial price in 2017

Everything is possible, but never take things for granted so easily. It's also a possibility that when we happen to reach $1000 again, that the price will suddenly collapse. In order to be prepared for that scenario you should secure profits every now and then. Especially when we are going up to levels significantly higher than we are sitting at right now. I just hope that the growth that we will be experience is sustainable. It's not cool to see that everything we have been building up in a few years goes to waste in a matter of weeks.

It seems to be possible only if a few really big whales decide to cash out heavily, which is not completely impossible but not very likely on the whole because they don't seem to be inclined to part with their bitcoins at any price. Apart from that, major exchange hack could bring the price down somewhat, but as the Bitfinex incident had shown, it was also an excellent and one-off opportunity to buy bitcoins cheap after the July halving.

If you look at how at the time the price has gone up in a decent manner, and after that exchanges get hacked, it looks to me that it is a well planned attack. If it happens once, then you can say that it was coincidence. If it happens a second time, you can once again say that it was coincidence. But it happened plenty of times already. In that regard, I won't be surprised to see another exchange announce that it got hacked where they lost thousands of coins as result. But we'll see what is the next bit of drama that will come our way and cause the market to plummet.

Get ya shorts ready because here it comes.

Not until price begins to drop again. Just two days before the Bitfinex hack happened, there had been a massive sell-off of bitcoins on all major exchanges including Bitfinex itself. Obviously, if the hack was thoroughly planned, the hackers themselves might earn by heavily shorting Bitcoin because they knew in advance that the price would crash over a hundred dollars in a matter of hours after the hack. And then they could just cover their shorts with stolen bitcoins.

Yes, they know that the price will crash but I don't think that price matters to them at that moment. They are just after the Bitcoins, to steal as much coins as they can. They probably then use it for other criminal or illegal stuff and after all they also know that the price will rise again.

It can't be any other way. If they care for coins, they should care for their price too. Really, would they ever want to steal any coin at Yobit which is being sold at 1 satoshi with the Buy side of the order-book empty? If we think about it, they could easily double their profits by massively shorting their spoil. At maximum, that would be equal to stealing twice the quantity of coins they actually stole. If you disagree, you still have to plausibly explain why the price had started to fall two days before the hack occurred.

I hope those hackers thinking that many people will be affected instead we are supporting bitcoin to be well know alternative paymentmethod online they are just giving bad feed backs from people that new comers instead of staying in bitcoin they are thinking that bitcoin is scam..
For now we need more security but the problem all security are made by humans so humans can be still hack it if they can monitor the movement of the site..

Bitcoin crossed 800$ few days ago and couple days ago it crossed 900$. And now it's running to 1000$ as crazy. I really hope we all will see the new price on New Year and it's going to be the present to all of us! Even don't know what to do with my bitcoins - to sell or too keep, cause of the price seems will go higher.

I think the price is consolidating.

The recent price has been increased rapidly and faster than many months or years before and I hope the next year to be better than this for us and for bitcoin. But I'm afraid that the price will get lower!

You shouldn't be afraid. It's an opportunity to make another rounds of buying and wait again for your expected price increase. Admit it, most of the people don't want to buy at the current price rate due to the fact that it's considered as high. Honestly back at $700 many are doubting to buy at that range since it was considered as high already, same to $500, $400 etc.

So, price dip = take a ride. After all bitcoin price will just go up.

Many people that I know didn't expected this rise and when this came up (the price of mostly one thousand) then they don't feel good because the amount of bitcoin they hold is very small, but people that hold a high amount of bitcoin are happy and want to be happier if the price gets higher than now.
