Bitcoin Forum

Hello Bitcointalk forum! I'm happy to be part of this forum. I want to run a speculation contest about the price of bitcoin at the end of 2017. I'm allocating 0.05BTC to the person that can predict the most accurate price. End of the year means January 1 2018, 00:01 PST. Thanks.  :D

Only one person will win so first accurate answer will be accepted! Goodluck.

Let me be the first to guess...

$2980 / BTC

I'll have a guess - $2400

Disclaimer - No technical know how or chart analysis involved in the above estimate :)

You have to guess what the price will be on Next Year's eve, not tomorrow...

I would say 3,895 USD

We are going to see a continuous rise to $5000+, until about early December. At the end of 2017, btc price will have crashed to $500-1000, definitely below $1000. I'd say $550. This is according to btc historical pattern.

This is an exciting question, it really could go anywhere.  $8,755 is my crazy guess.

The bubble is coming again and we have a streak of good news.
It will go crazy up to $5000 and come back to a conservative $3500 1-1-2018

I pulled this out of my magic hole :)

I have the same expectation from bitcoin as price is moving with a great pace at a moment and if the same speed continues then we will be seeing the price of 5000 usd before the end of the year so I am getting as many coins as possible so that I can sell them when it reaches to that level to make huge profits from it.

~ 6158.84 USD @finex 8)

Three times more then now, are you sure? This is not possible to happen in next 6 and a half months, in some time next year maybe, but even for that to happen possibility is 5 %?
Around 2 500 dollars for 1 bitcoin is my prediction, not even that, if we get to 2 300 and stay there it would be also great.

For sure I'm not sure, this is a speculation contest. My number came out of a crystal ball with flat battery. :D

Very fluctuating bitcoin prices are hard to speculate, prices can suddenly rise high and suddenly fall.
But let me to guess, who knows I can win ;D By the end of 2017 maybe I think the bitcoin price at $ 3.117. I'm sure there is a point where the price will fall a few then go up and continue up to reach $ 3.117.

$666 because that figure haunted me in 2014 and maybe it still hasn't finished its business with me. I do hope not though.

for me predict bitcoin price in the future just like guessing the number Which will come out of the lottery it is so difficult however probably the rally hasn't stopping yet untill end of this year so my prediction bitcoin price will reach $3500

$15236

with segregated witness rumored to be activated soon we just might have another bitcoin bull run

my guess will be $2730

OP where will you be getting your price of the day come 1st January? I ask because some sites give +ve /-ve $100 price difference

I would say a realistic number 3678$ ;)

Nice reward there for guessing the most accurate price for this years price. I'm into picking $4,252.00. We are still near to half of this year and the price did pumped up to $2,000. I guess it will be near to that price on january 1.
Hmm. I guess mate we will be reaching this price before this month ends.

My guess, $2500 - $3000 range.  The hype in bitcoin is just starting, there are coming updates and adoption that will make bitcoin price to increase further.  As I read it, Australia is ready to accept bitcoin as money this July.  Even copying Japan's approach to bitcoin in not taxing the selling and buying of bitcoin.

Hopefully the price would reach around $2800-$2900 just like in the year end of 2016 where the price reached the amount that we were expecting that year . Perhaps the price would be much higher than what I have said if ever the price increases more quickly .

I appreciate you for not to giving a hype to the price of the bitcoin like the other. Some of our mates are either very much optimistic or greatly excited that they predict some abnormal growth of the price in the forum. It really makes me worried about the earning of the BTC as well. Don’t you think it will be ever harder to earn a few satoshis at what the price prediction is?

With the growth of the Bitcoin price I can understand it that the increase in coming months can be measured with the help of the current rate of increase which simply mean with an average, but the only thing that I am not able to understand is the formula of the crash that users are talking about. How come someone could say that the market of BTC will definitely crash?

I think the price of bitcoins would be more than 3500$ by the end of this year and it might happen it has gone up to 8000$ and we have to keep into account the price of bitcoins might crash hugely.

in my opinion this price bitcoin $2600-$3000 for 2 next month at 2017 because now the current bitcoin continues to increase so much some countries made the bitcoin as currency, there haven't been able to make as a currency's value because the price is high.

And I think that in the summer the price will drop significantly and then only by the end of the year it can reach 3000. After constant growth there should be a drawdown, many have already made a profit on short-term investments.

$8.999

I guess $3000 sometime this year and then a correction back to $1500 to $2000. At some point, some people will want to cash in their gains.

to me as there is so much uncertanity in the market of bitcoin. the price today raised to 2700 USD level and now again trading in 2400 USD level, therefore no one can give a perfect prediction about bitcoin. i think we can only hope that it will be trading above  5000 USD level f the present trend of increasing price of bitcoin will continue at the end of 2017, but still no one can be so much sure about that.

If everything be well and started well, my estimate for price on one Bitcoin for end of this year would be around 5378$ this will be maybe little more then expected and it can be little less then expected to. No one with certain knowledge can determine the right one we can only guess it.

If I will to have a prophesy of bitcoin price when years ends, I will say it will be back to $1800 to $2000 and stabilize for several days at the end of the year. After that price will be rising up again to gain for next year's demand because I believe that bitcoin will certainly influence more people to invest due to it's profitable income source  from holding profits earned, after long term  investments.

On my own opinon... I guess it will reach around 3000$ - 4000$ per bitcoin this year. Its is posssible to attain that amount if its price is still growing. It is too early to predict on what will be the price but surely many things will happen it might dump or continue to pump.

Depends what the fees are going to do. If the fees become lower again and stay low, the price could get quite high, but if they become even higher, I doubt more people will start to use it...

I can't do a very accurate prediction, but my senses tell me it would either be under 2.5k or above 4k

Nobody can give an accurate forecast due to the unpredictable price of bitcoin, but I guess that it will reach $ 3000.

It depends on the peak price point it reaches before the mid year. Right now we have reached around $2800. The same when sustains and move further towards a new ATH, even after fluctuations we might be staying close to $5000. So everything is expected to happen depending on the price move of the coming days and months.

Precisely, as of now no on can give an exact prediction on what will be the price of bitcoin at the end of year 2017. We all know that bitcoin has unpredictable price so anytime it might keep growing or worse if it will dump.

I will go with $3750. Just a wild guess.
The December holidays might really make bitcoin pump up big when the gift are raining in online stores.
I actually could see this orders but it is only with USD. But there might be some also that will do that in a bitcoin transaction. A lot of usage might make it up.

I think we will get close to $10,000 at some point in 2017 in a fit of irrational exuberance/runaway greed by unsophisticated investors, then drop down to $3000, than slowly build up again over the next 3-4 years to another runup to $100,000.  Prediction based on past history.

$ 10,000 this year? This is a fantastic growth of bitcoin which is very unlikely. There must be a truly global expansion in order to raise the price so high.

I have been around bitcoin since early 2013, and I am telling you this is how bitcoin behaves.  You will learn the same soon enough.  $10,000 is NOTHING for bitcoin to achieve this year.

$ 10,000 for this year is too early. Maximum by the end of the year we can touch the mark of 5000, if there is the same stable growth.

I'll have a guess - $27163

Of course, I'm not surprised by such a forecast, which you voiced, because I also adhere to this opinion. But you need to be cautious with predictions, because you hope for one thing, and it can turn out quite different. The main thing is that the disappointment does not come.

My guess it would be around $3,500. At the rate of what it is now, it really going to shoot high. That would be my forecast. :)

in fact bitcoin has the capacity to cross any level, but we need to study the behavior of the investors i do not think that the investors will wait for such price they will sell their bitcoin even if the price reach to 4000 USD and which will create hurdle in the progress of bitcoin.

The ransomware attack has caused the price of bitcoin go up,but I would have a guess that bitcoin's price will be minimum of say-3000$ and a maximum of price say 5000$ at the beginning of next year,even though the price might go up but I guess it would be brought down as more the value of bitcoin, the more of the ransomware attack might occur .

This is funny you have come with a reward. I hope you have put quite an interesting question for discussion so there is no need of doing any rewards or making the people around excited for those rewards. There is no one to predict the accurate price in the forum but if the other things remain the same.

I believe bitcoin will be more than $10000 by the end of this year. You may wonder how I can be sure after we faced such a massive down fall. But it may be a trick by whales to buy more bitcoins for cheaper prices which may not available for ever here after.

I think the price of bitcoin will reach $3500 by the end of the year. This is the natural increase of bitcoin price. Whenever bitcoin price ridiculously increases. It always end into a dump.

I say $3000 +/- $100... ;)

many people predicting that bitcoin will be more than $3xxx in the end of the year and even more than amount but maybe it could be happen because from time to time, when many new people join in bitcoin world, the supply and demand for bitcoin will change and it will affect with the price and the price will be increase. so lets we waited for a while at the end of this year.
