Bitcoin Forum

Now anyone see bitcoin has been reached at $1504. It is superb for me and also for all investors of bitcoin.
Since last year in 2016 in this month bitcoin was under $400 to $550. So now we see in this time bitcoin has a double or triple price. So its mean the next coming year in 2018 bitcoin will be reached at $2500 to 3000.
Am i right? what's your opinion?

This could but also doesn't have to happen. Bitcoin is not only rising progressive through the time, the price could fall also. Everything depends on the Bitcoin market, the supply and demand, the factors that inf the market, the big players, both countries and individuals and so on. We would all like to see Bitcoin price at 2500$ or more very soon but unfortunately Bitcoin is not that predictive.

Yeah, back in 2015 I think the prices were at $200 - $300 and I was able to buy about 3 btc. I wish I didn't lose that in gambling, I could have been rich by now. Ahh, good times. Working my way to get back what I lost, but it has been a long time and never was able to get it all back. I think btc will be able to get to $2,500 this year! I hope so. :D

I think in year 2016 it was around $700-$800.
As long as the users maintain their trust to this digital currency in many coming years especially those who invested big amounts of money the price will surely reach what we hope for, it might happen sooner if we could just figure out how to solve the bitcoin scaling.

Bitcoin is definitely rising and may even reached the predicted $2000 level or even $2500 towards the end of the year or early 2018...of course there would be expected bumps along the way but the direction seems to be upwards. Happy are those who are just leaving their Bitcoin sleeping they can wake up refreshed and highly valued.

Bitcoin price will be be easily predictable using linear extrapolation. With the wild ups and downs, I think we have a chance to see even $5000 by year end- or anytime if there is a chance for segwit activation. I hope LTC will be successful which will demonstrate scaling proposal is working.

Yeah, In the start of 2016, i bought 4 and half bitcoin when bitcoin was $380. Yeah, You are right, in this year bitcoin cross $1500. But don't forget it is because bitcoin is continuously rising, If bitcoin start to fall down than we should see bitcoin will be under $1000. But i always well wisher of bitcoin, but should see the dark side that bitcoin price is unpredictable.

And i think this is why btc is becomming a worldwide phenomenon in terms of mining. Many companies have built supercomputers just for mining. More and more btc are released for mining so i dont think btc like gold would vanish. Only the price would be manipulated and as far as i know commodities doesnt increase like how a btc would increase.

I don't think its going to happen. A lot of the bitcoin is being going up right now due to the good news coming in. Looking at the trend, it stops or reverses and really fast anytime a bad news or a big scam occurs in the bitcoin world. While I would hope it keeps going up, I simply do not see it hitting such high numbers within one year.

You have to understand that history can't be repeated in most of the case but it is not impossible. Same goes for bitcoin, yes price have almost tripled compared to last year but in 2018 price may swing between 1500$ and 2000$ or it can even hit 5000$, nobody can predict it accurately. However current price can be considered as good buy point if you can hold it for next 4-5 years.

There is no assurance but there​ is a high possibility that Bitcoin will reach that amount. Specially now that the bitcoin value is constantly increasing. Let us just hope the better things to happen on Bitcoin :)

I feel that this is anotherr bubble and it can burst soon, so you should not think that $2500 will be the price of 1 bitcoin next year.
There is so much price increase on everyday basis, even though the transactions are still a big problem to bitcoin adaption.

Bitcoin is not that predictive, anytime​it could go opposite to the predictions that the users make. Importantly right now we're not under control, which means the normal growth is happening without any market influence or the big investors play. Only if a panic situation arises among users once again we might experience a steep fall which might soon retain based on the etf.

This is first time I am also seeing btc prices soars past 1500$. This is a good sign as now price will start getting consolidated at a stage where it will try to get stable and remain for couple of weeks before getting higher.

Yes.
No.
Or Even more.

I say this 3 options because we all know that bitcoin price is volatile, although is has been more stable this year compare to previous year. Personally, I hope this price run is sustainable. But in the other hand, sooner or later there might be a something that will cause the price dump resulting to another < $1100 again. For me, this is not a bubble because the price jump is not sudden. But what I'm afraid of is investors that are going to sell off their bitcoin because they have already make a profit gain. Huge profit gain. So if this happen, the price will drop a little. Good thing is bitcoin has this ability to recover from this kind of scenario. So lets just enjoy this price ride and hope for the best.

Your analysis is right and even everybody is happy that the price if bitcoin is increasing at a progressive rate but you will also agree with me that the journey has been long in other to reach the point at which we are today. To assume that by 2018 it would have reached $2500 to me would be a wishful thinking because it would mean we want to assume there are not factors that would negate that which can even make the price worse of from the position we are currently are. Let's just play the part we are playing and the the forces of the market or behind the market decide what the price will be.

I agree with you. Everyone watches growth and even compares with the past figures. But you always need to take into account the fact that something unexpected can happen. The world is developing and we can not guess what will happen tomorrow

What good news? The most stunning run of good news in Bitcoin's history occurred when it was spiralling down the toilet in 2014.

When you are concerning about balance, I believe the prices are being raising for a reason like for increased demand so I think we cannot expect a progressive up surge through out the year. Traders always speculate for future prices and then the reality will follow them. I believe this what happening this time too.

I am sure, by end of this year, we might be having bitcoins value more than $5000. We cannot estimate how much demand the new investors and adopters of bitcoin will be bringing.  

well the price target is above $5000 with the current situation and the current adoption rate in different countries around the world and we are rising at a reasonable speed it may seem like these days it is a more faster rise but in the overall speed of things, i'd say it is still on a good path.

if we can see at least $1900 to $2000 this year, then we are officially going towards that target.
then with changes in the adoption, hopefully some solution for blocksize debate and more countries doing the same as Japan we can start planning for $10,000

for now be careful and start learning the difference between dump price drop and correction drop so that you won't panic.

It will be able always better that people keep their trust on bitcoins and digital cryptocurrency.I think that the price of bitcoins would be more than 3000$ by the end of the year.

This is a miracle in the bitcoin world. Prices are increasing so rapidly and positively. We can sense the current bitcoin price movement. The increasing price certainly makes us feel comfortable that bicoin has been trusted by many people.

Agreed. Past history shows that whenever the price of bitcoin began to rise dramatically, it was being driven by wealthy insiders knowing something waaayyy ahead of the general public. In hindsight it was never just completely random, or preceded with a string of good news.

My bet is on a major world market meltdown coming, possibly in the Fall or by end of year. If not this year, certainly in the next. Here's hoping that it'll be seen as a life raft for the rats jumping from their sinking ship.

I have often think about this idea, something going under the table wich a few people are aware, but have never be able to find a correlation on this. Do you have an exemple? Also, people saying it is due to the good news are wrong, if you check, when bad news are published, the price ggoes up too LOL. I don't know until when this trend will go but it's amazing me

Feels like a bubble to me. I would prefer slow, healthy rise.

A perfect example of what I'm talking about is late 2013. There was a U.S. Fed meeting that appeared suddenly on their agenda in Nov 2013 to discuss to legality of cryptocurrencies in general, and Bitcoin specifically.

Insiders knew of this meeting well ahead of the general public (possibly up to 12 months in advance), and these wealthy insiders knew that the U.S. would not try to ban Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency (because lets be honest, they can't), but instead give it a favorable greenlight.  So they ran up the market for almost a full year well in advance, culminating on the positive news.  

They also knew that at the same time, the FBI would soon be closing in on Mt. Gox (because they knew it was an insolvent exchange) and shutting it down, which would give them a perfect reason to short-dump bitcoin into the ground.

They also whipped up media sites and online forums into a frenzy to feed into the run-up. It all worked to their advantage.

If and in many countries of Latin America and Asia the BTC is not known . It will rise even more in the following years . Even in Turkey, very few people know. I hope and dream what will be the price if each and every person on the earth has bitcoins in their wallet.

It is true, bitcoin price rise very well now bitcoin is equal $1535. It is good news for us, because we was discussing for a long time, when bitcoin would cross $1500, now the time has come. But the next step when bitcoin cross $2000, In my thinking, in this year bitcoin definitely cross $2000, but it is difficult to bitcoin cross $2500 in this year. 

As expected from bitcoin every year is a new record for the price of it. I think the bitcoin will reach the 2000$ this year by the month of December and  before that I hope it will dump a little so many can buy and get ready for another pump.

Yeah right, if there are no serious constraints bitcoin prices will surely reach more than $ 2,500 in 2018. I agree with you and I also think like you, it will not be a fantasy but will come true. The bitcoin price is currently $ 1,533 and keeps close to $ 2,000, so hoping for bitcoin could be above $ 2,000 it could happen because it only takes $ 500 to reach it and bitcoin will definitely achieve it. Bitcoin also broke new history, which can compete with gold. That would make bitcoin be a good choice for investment, especially the price is always up.

As for me this is not a bubble. This is a slow rise indeed not similar to 2013 bubble. Did you wonder why the price is like this? Or haven't you heard about Japan adoption bitcoin like their own? Japan influence on the bitcoin price is already felt and can't be deny already. Unlike before that there are fake volumes, Japan trading is taking 50% only. So it makes that the price of bitcoin is reaching new level. So I definitely think this is not a bubble as you have said.

I think it has surpassed gold already. Hmm.. so what would be the next logical comparison? Diamonds. This will be the next benchmark for bitcoin price in the future, 1 karat of diamond = 1 bitcoin. It is truly astonishing the resiliency of bitcoin price. Ups, Downs but it was always recovers but different scenarios and to see the price reaching new heights.

I was organic growth caused by Japan bitcoin legalization - if you think that  organic growth must be slow process you are wrong.
Organic = backed by some valid reasons i.e. growing bitcoin adoption, killer bitcoin app, new pro bitcoin legislation etc.

BTC isnt in a bubble omg, look at altcoins to see bubbles.

There is no telling it but it might be.
When the numbers of bitcoin gets lower and lower. I mean those who can still be bought.
Then the price will really sky rocket. Demands will come and as users gets bloated then many would be waiting for their chance to have at least 1 bitcoin. With that, it might double its price again but still there are no facts behind it. We cant predict what could happen.

Yes you are right, now indeed the bitcoin price has surpassed gold even kept away from the gold price. I agree with you that bitcoin price are starting to be compared to diamonds, many people are starting to compare both. This indicates that bitcoin price are valuable and worth the investment. Any price down certainly the price will rebound and become higher, hopefully this will continue to happen.

Now really we could compare the Bitcoin with Diamond, in this time bitcoin cross $1705, it is for my a biggest opportunity to make money from my bitcoin. Because i still hold my bitcoins and i am confuse to sell them, Because i believe bitcoin will grow more may be i am greedy but now i have decided to save my bitcoin till the end of bitcoin.

We don't know what's going on with BTC in the future but when I see chart of BTC it scare me to buy more :D

This is still a less price for bitcoin. As i told in past and will continue to tell the current price of bitcoin is the start of a new era or in other words from now we may mostly not see the price go below 1000$ unless there is serious attack towards it. I feel that 2000$ by end of this year is now a sure thing, or atleast  a price which is surely more than 1800

It could be possible since the price of bitcoin is already touch at $1700 value and its nearly to touch at $2k value hoping to see more price increase these following days .. and i think this is because of the spread news about the legalize bitcoin in japan..
This is unbelievable for me honestly i thought that it takes few months before we touch $1,700.

Towards the massive adoption of crypto by the people around the world and it will become a real thing in the future. $2000 is really possible for bitcoin due to the limited supply of bitcoin.

If more people try to gain a bitcoin for himself and it makes the bitcoin become a rare thing.

More good news will pumping the price of bitcoin to the moon.

Rather than breaking history, regularly bitcoin is making history. Weeks back a new ATH got added to the database. Now once again in a short the enormous growth has made further changes in the ATH. This is expected to continue for long as the price is moving with resistance. Some confirmation issues have risen which needs to be sought in a short time.

Thanks for your reply, Yes it's a prefect exemple :). Now if you look at the rise of the Bitcoin price since December, I guess something quite important is coming soon in the following months. Or maybe we can say it's already started, with the facts that for exemple, Japan accepts Bitcoin as a commodity (like gold and silver) Malta finally decided to embrace the Blockchain/Bitcoin ecosystem,ect... A snowball starting that the Insiders are well aware before
This days I am very excited ;D

Sure there would be no surprise if bitcoin price reaches $3000 next year.Bitcoin acceptance by japan has been an eye opener for world countries.They are yet to follow japan and it would lead bitcoin price to increase more.

$3000 for next year? I would say it will be achieved in this year only. The pace with which bitcoin is going $3000 is not far. Japan being the main reason, now more countries may show interest in bitcoin and that would be huge boost. Good days have started.  :)

Japan gives a big impact on BTC by involving on crytocurrency. I think this will the start for the BTC to shine on Asian country and the price will surely pump to the moon. So buy more BTC before it's price will be on skyrocket.

Actually this view has been arised due to Australia also showing interest and planned to implement the bitcoin as legal in their country. Even Philippines also been planned to use the bitcoin as legal. These all combine together and gives big support to bitcoin and price is bumping continuously in the chart. There is a possibilities to see the price with in some months.

We all are exciting to see the price of bitcoin in the end of this year. But as you said Japan accept bitcoin as a commodity, than also you know Australia accepts the bitcoin as a currency use, than these reasons definitely give the growth of bitcoin price.   

This can never came to reality if it keeps on moving upward, but we can not know for sure the real movement of bitcoin because it can also go down from it's height we are only predicting that the value would go up? I think we even need to predict when the price might come down, I really think that the price of bitcoin was very too high right now and it is a world record when it comes to bitcoin price, we never really expecting anything like this in the past, and right now I want to know when will bitcoin gonna plummet down?

Yes if Australia enters the game then it will have massive impact on the price of bitcoins and it can take price to beyond our imagination and as of now price of bitcoins is moving in a positive direction so we can expect the same in coming months too.

Our expectation with bitcoin price very high.
But it is true if Australia accept it, than bitcoin achieve more popularity.
About the thread, I have different thinking about bitcoin price.
Now recently bitcoin cross $1880 and now he has come under $1750. I think this situation will be continue within few months.
But in the end of December of 2017 bitcoin sure will be reached at $2000 to $2200.

It seems to me that now the price will go down or stop its growth. But this is a very good time to buy bitcoins and keep them for a long time

The growth of bitcoin, or anything else, is not linear, at some point there is going to be a reduction in the price, then we will have some months without too much movement and at some point we are going to have another big growth.

It seems that bitcoin right now is a bit down but it's an opportunity for anyone who want to buy butcoin because it's low key that they can keep it and hold it a long time. In my outlook, change is the only constant here. It's okay if bitcoin is a bit lower than before because there's a time that it will increase again.

for those who's new here its an opportunity for them to join the ride while studying how this investment will work for them, yes indeed bitcoin is fluctuating and that's a good opportunity better to hold for longer time to feel much better the profits.

more likely the bitcoin will get up to 2000$ within a month , let,s see what will happy

bitcoin is the best currency in 2017 :)

I think so too. Today I looked at the chart and saw a jump of bitcoin to 2000 dollars. I was a little embarrassed, because sudden jumps can be dangerous. But in general, I like the situation

Bitcoin would be break $2000, i am sure last 4 months of this year. Because bitcoin is still stop under $1650 to $1850. It mean bitcoin take time to cross $2000, And this time will come at the end of the 2017, and in these months bitcoin price will continue up and down $1900. But sure and hopefully bitcoin definitely cross $2000 to $2100 in 2017.

Most likely it will maybe even this month, reason is that price went up just this month for about 400$ from 1st may. Are we witnessing new golden age for bitcoin, possible. Will we gonna crash after some point also possible. But in the end it will recover in no time. This is beauty of bitcoin.

Bitcoin jumped to the $2000 level? Not sure what exchange you have been looking at, but it's surely one of the plenty rubbish exchanges that there are available. These exchanges have no liquidity, no availability in tradable coins, etc. With just a few thousand bucks you can bump the price on a rubbish exchange to like $3000-$4000 without any problems. You should only look at the exchange rate of the major exchanges - namely, Bitstamp.

This is the period of steady bitcoin price movement, there is no movement yet again. Maybe this is a break, but I think it will last only 1 to 2 months. We will soon reach 2000USD. Everyone always hopes that way.  ;D

Actually there are quite great movements happen  last 24hours on it and i think we should stick to it and monitor wisely to its unpredictable movement so that we can earn more from this. Yet people keep telling that bitcoins price would reach for 2000$ and this thing would be possible if majority of us wont waste our btc and stake it for good.

Bitcoin is entering a new era of mass adoption, the price is sure to spike over the coming months with new ATHs seen on a regular basis.

Increased from $1800 to $1837 at this moment, I'm an idiot because I sold everything I had at $1790 expecting another correction down to $1600.
Now I regret my poor decision and despite all of my own advice I've done what I've always told others not to do :(
If price drops down back to $1200 I might first have a heart attack and then throw a party if I'm in the mood.
I was just thinking about Satoshi and realized even after all of us gone bitcoin is going to be here, that's something I'd like to leave behind when I die.

It's a rookie mistake, but glad you at least realize that you have done wrong. As is the case with never buying all at once, you should also never sell all at once. The trick is to cash out max 15-20% of your profits. If the price happens to go up, which is exactly the case right now, you would be able to cash out another portion at these higher levels. I am not sure whether or not we'll see a dump to the $1200 level, but you'll surely get the opportunity to buy back at lower levels -- have patience.

Don't break your heart, mostly people have sold their bitcoins when suddenly bitcoin price is going to high.
Also i have sold my 2 bitcoins. But i am lucky i have saved my 4 more bitcoins.
It is our fear and we can't take a high risk that the reason me and you have sold the bitcoins, but if bitcoin price was going to down than we will be have lost. So don't worry we have earned money from our bitcoin, not too much but sure.
But really bitcoin break the history. 

You said a big true, we can't take high risks. That is why I think a good idea to never sell all bitcoins, always separe the bitcoin you will always hold and the bitcoin you are able to sell to trade and make profit.
This way you are always in profit, the part you are selling and the part you are holding, so if the price increases more than you expected, you still have a second chance to choose sell more or continue holding.

its really an amazing movement and its happen so fast unlike before retrace is expected after some big jump now its harder to predict whether
there would be  a possible downfall or it will rise up more than expected, better to keep some btc and stock it for a long term.

As far as I understand the bitcoin price system. The price increase with the increase in demand of the Bitcoin so if we see any increase in the price it means that people are taking interest into the collection of the Bitcoin. We can see at the moment many countries are working on to open their gates for the Bitcoin, in such a situation I don't think the price will go down.

That is what I'm saying. That I'm hoping that people who have sold won't regret their decision. But for you the situation that is unavoidable. Because you already saw big profits that's why you jump.

But selling all of you bitcoin is really a big no. You should gradually off hold your bitcoin as there is a increase and decrease of price so that you can fully maximize if the price rose and minimize your lose if the price dip. Just learn from your bitcoin and not be frustrated and go back to buying bitcoins if you still can.

Bitcoin definitely is in the history books. People in the future will at least be saying oh what a great thing bitcoin is to use, and waht a wonderful thing satoshi has created if not bitcoin has already become the dominant force in the world economy becoming the norm for transactions between people.

I mean it's just crazy how much we've been through this year, how the price was at $1000 and everyone thought that it was going to go down from that point but bitcoin proved to be a hot asset and if you held you would have made more than 100% in profits.


And it's $2200+ right now. I've made the mistake of selling as well but don't worry - you don't lose money if you sell. You lose out on money but at least you are mitigating the risk of losing a lot. Diversification is key.

Now we can feel the movement of the price of the bitcoin increasing making we will feel comfortable that this was now a bitcoin can be trusted and used its benefits, the whole world is getting mempercayain bitcoin, I personally feel very happy about the price of the bitcoin rises quickly and will not disappoint

Bitcoin is generally going up but we all know that if it climbs too fast it will correct itself.
I believe the climb is going too steep at the moment. We have gone up 10% in 1 day.

Also there will be people cashing out.

It climbs is good and motivate us to hold the bitcoin till the end. But now a days, bitcoin has stopped to climb up, and still under $2500. But sure in the end of 2017 will be given us surprisingly price of bitcoin. I have too much hopes with bitcoin and also i feel this year will be historical break in bitcoin history.

From the day it got innovated bitcoin is making history. Now it has started to break its own history with its enormous growth as well the multiple ways of using it. As days pass more and more offline retailers and online vendors start accepting bitcoin into their business and give it the same image as physical currency.

Maybe one day bitcoin will break the history but until now it has been going side by side with it, it lies behind the events and influence the history anonymously.

current price of bitcoin is the beginning of a new era or in other words, from now on we prices may not notice most of the bitcoin be low or little $2000, even now prices are rising again bitcoin psudah reached $2400, only $400 only difference but I believe at the end of the year is sure to be $3000

but I think the trend s only restricted to modern countries where people have little are mostly educated because there the users of bitcoin are most as compare to backward countries, and therefore the shopkeepers also like to accept bitcoin. but it is also possible that may be in future when the uses of bitcoin will increase in future then the online shops who will accept bitcoin will also be present in backward countries.

Well My speculation towards Australia is that the government will fully approve the use of bitcoin in their country on July 1  so we are gonna see some support on the market of Australia for bitcoin and then we can see some support coming from Korea and Japan that is why we would definitely see a rise on bitcoin further away $3000 dollar in the end of the year if we can not see some emotional users that out of fear they will sell and convert their bitcoins.

We shall see how Australia will enter the market. One month from now we will know how Australians will react seeing bitcoin in their country as legal. When Japan enter the picture, we didn't imagine the support this country gave us. So we need to see how Australia will do. Will they became crazy shit to bitcoin like Japan? We still don't know. Just wait on July 1 and hope they will pour cash flow on the market as what Japan did.

Price is stable at the moment and 3000 can be happening in the September maybe. Price will be most influenced with Barry Silbert segwit agreement, if this comes true then its quite possible that price will be much more then 3000$.

The main advantage of Japan and Australia is perhaps that these countries work in the process of implementing the crypto currency. We will hope that other countries will follow suit.

I am sure that other countries will soon follow this example. In general, I was surprised that Australia decided to legalize bitcoin. I did not think that there is so much developed crypto currency and people are ready for it

Also add Russia which wants to create their own cryptocurrency. After this decision i am going to buy more bitcoins becasue central banks cant control this new decentralized coins.Smart money will sell that coins belongs to Russian central bank.They dont want to give freedom to uncontrolled digital money  system.

It is funny the op made a sensible prediction and then bitcoin fulfills it in the very same month, what will happen when we reach the time frame of the prediction, the end of 2018, what will be the value of bitcoin at that time.

Bitcoin has already reached around $2,850 in April this year and now its price has temporarily fallen to $2400.But we could soon expect bitcoin price to recover especially after August 1st.Bitcoin price may once again trigger reaching new heights.Bitcoin price could reach $3,500 by this year end.

I agree with your mneem. We constantly observe how the price of bitcoin is recovering from falls. This will happen after the fall, which has now begun. Maybe the price recovery will last for several months. But it will happen

This post was way before. Ain't this should be deleted and just create another thread which is updated?
The first post was still at $1504.  ???

That is the magic brought by bitcoins and surely many people earning from its fall and ups. And I believe that after some dumps will be happen unto it the hard pump will follow and since segwit in august maybe implemented by that day well a big possibilities that bitcoins price would go up for that moment and maybe by this time the 3000$ price would be reach up again or maybe up for more.

Nothing to worry. A correction is always healthy. I know that this seems like a crash to many bitcoiners. But in crypto unverse, we can take this as a correction  ;)
Stay positive, add some with extra fiat you have. Lots of good coins have corrected due to panic selling. This is the time to jump in and HODL all the way.

Although essentially you are right and this subject based on such a previous price that has been largely surpassed should be updated, it seems to me that it has some validity regarding the existing discussion about the real contribution of bitcoin in the global economy that is breaking schemes. I personally hate the tendency of thinking that bitcoin is making history just because of the high price it is reaching, when I am convinced that bitcoin is actually making history because of its great contribution to the development of economic and digital sciences.

With this traceback, all we have done is erase the last month's gains.  ::)
There is no reason to get bearish because of this. Treat it like an opportunity to get some cheap coins.
