Is it possible to reach 5,000 $ /btc this week or next week ?

btc went from 1000 $ to 2800 dollars in few days . so yes why not from 2,800 to 5,000 $

More new investors coming everyday and buying btc

It needs to consolidate @3,000 - 4,000 $ area first , and then YES 5,000 $ why not ? :)

Bitcoin can reach $5000 but will not stay at this price for a longer time due to its regular up amd down in demand.
However, you can expect its persistance at $300 defenitely soon.

I think we will cross 3,000 in few hours (bitcoin already 3,015 $ on okcoin and BtcChina)

It was  3,095 $ on okcoin (check okcoin chart)

A few days? More like a few months, but yes, this went very rapidly indeed.

I believe that we either see bitcoin mooning extremely hard with the activation of segwit on august the 1st, or that it will crash.

5000$ is very possible. I even think that 10000$ should be possible with a succesful activation of UASF.

$5000 is very much possible, but it will definitely it will take time. Atleast few months and some exciting movement in the world will give the value rise a pace. Within June for sure its going to toughdown $3000-$3200+

Absolutely possible to reach 5k within a few weeks or months, but it will then crash down again. Bitcoin is already overvalued so reaching $5,000 would represent an even greater disparity between price and value. Bitcoin would not be able to sustain that kind of price or growth.

There is always a possibility. If the target date for that price is next week then it needs a crazy pump but Im not seeing any thing that will triggered to that. Rather than to expect a short journey to the moon, let's just allow the price to move in it's normal phase as long as it's an upward trend. A one big push is sometimes not good as it's always accompanied with a one big dump.

Soon it will happened. Let's dont rush things. :)

I had my doubts earlier how bitcoin could fair when there are certain limitations for the amount of transactions is limited,but as time passed the price of bitcoin started rising and my assumptions were wrong,even now the network has shown signs of weakness in the form of transaction delays and yet the price is rising and breaking all records,so the possibility to raise to $5000 cannot be gunned down,as anything is possible with bitcoin.

Oh yeah. Here is the chronology behind this one.
Bitcoin born almost decade ago and had price of pink sheet penny stock exchange. It was worth fee dollars after a year or so when people barely realised it. After two years or so big farms of miners started showing up and boosted bitcoin value to Upton 700 dollars just two years ago. With little pumps and dumps last year bitcoin played in 350 dollars to 1000 dollars. And now the bitcoin skyrocketed to 2800 dollars. The chronology says bitcoin is speeding up things day by day and yes it will reach that $5000 per btc rate too.

Its not possible mate since how could btc go up faster for that short period of time? Btc movements are not doing some magic and actually the demand makes it grows so possibly your though's of reaching for 5000$ will take some time and maybe we will see it on next 5 years around if theirs no bad incident will happen on bitcoins that can cut his fame.

I think by the end of the year it will be 5000 for btc


More realistically though, I think maybe the price will go down and the go up. Once it goes mainstream that's when the real fun happens

The slower it rises, the higher will be the baseline for the bubble.

It can go to $5000 or $1000, it's a free market and anything can happen!

That's right, But the bitcoin will show its effect for those are unfamiliar with it.

The more people will be talking about what is it bitcoin? and the more people try to take a little risk to use bitcoin in the future.

With such good growth and the prospect of development, everything is possible. I think already this year we will accurately touch the $ 5000 mark, it does not matter in a week or a few months, but we will see it this year.

I'm not quite sure that bitcoin prices could reach $ 5000 by the end of the week. I am more optimistic this happens at the end of the year, because there will likely be a reasonable increase to occur until the end of the year. $ 5000 speculation is too high to calculate right now.

I also think that bitcoin will reach $ 5000 by the end of the year, and not by the end of the week. It grows well, but subsidence is possible.

It will likely happen before the end of this day. :-X

Seriously, I knew people were chasing quick profits, but this is getting absurd. Just wait for it, as soon as the price drops a few hundred bucks, people will throw around with threads asking whether or not we'll be heading back towards sub $2000 levels. People's moods here are equally as volatile as Bitcoin's volatility.

I guess it is impossibe to reach that amout within this week or next week even if it will increase that fast because 5000$ is quite high. However, I think within this year before the year 2017 end bitcoin attain that amount and yet there are many things could happen to help the bitcoin to reach or to surpass that amount.

Lets break into 3000 and hold there first. We get so close to 3k then fall back. Been stable in 2900 range for a few days let's see If 3k can be breached!

It will be incredible if it comes to the end of the day. I believe in the fantastic growth of bitcoin, but it seems to me that such a jump in growth will be too unrealistic.

I think that this week wont reach 5000$/BTC, I am a noob investor but I think that this year BTC isnt going to reach 5000$ due to the possible hardfork on Bitcoin.

Yes, it is almost impossible to reach $ 5000 this week or even by the end of the month, but by the end of the year there is already a more probable forecast.

Lol. First of all, you don't invest in bitcoin, you speculate about the price.

Secondly, there are chances of a hardfork happening for years now. More people are supporting it recently indeed, but the chances of that happening are still very small.

Bitcoin will do a UASF on the first of august, and if that is succesful, i don't think we will see a succesful hardfork anytime soon, and the price of bitcoin will probably moon.

Its a big no,do think bitcoin can climb +2000$ in  1 or two weeks only? As you can see right now,bitcoin cant pass through the 3000$ barrier ,still having trouble to reached the 3000$ price.

A lot of people seem to think that UASF is the break out point, but I have my doubts. We need a significant scaling solution like the Lightning

Network to scale much quicker. A 2MB upgrade in the Block size are not going to cut it for mainstream adoption. The UASF phase will come with

a lot of panic and confusion and this will put a damper on the price. We still have some major scaling hurdles to cross, before we will see the

Moon.  ;)

Yup! I agree this is what I was thinking to just stick to the $3000 dollar mark because this is the most near to possible, and July is just getting to the mid of it's days and we are approaching to the new spot light of the Bitcoin price and I really can say that if we can step in that mark value, what is next for bitcoin? is it going to pursue $4000 and maybe $5000 or it will drop back to $2000? I can't really never say for now but let's just hope it keeps on increasing.

opportunities to increase up to $ 5000 is certainly still there. But I do not think this will happen in the near future. There must still be several months to reach these rates. There must be positive news that can have a tremendous impact on the development of bitcoin.

Maybe the price of bitcoin will be affected by the legalization of the crypto currency in Australia. But I do not think it will raise the price to $ 5000. It seems to me that bitcoin this year will not reach such a high price level

As adoption increases any business will move to peak. Same as that bitcoin has adopted everyday by many people in and outside the forum. Normally we use to see the price bump only in December month from the past 3 years but this year some countries make the bitcoin as a legal money and many finance related business and banks has been implementing bitcoin and own altcoins for them.

If some more Countries same as Japan and Australia starts the legalizing process then reaching $5000 is not that away. Hope our next destination will be towards $5000, as we will be touching the long time expectation of $3000 in a short. As anything could happen with bitcoin, being with positive hope is the best one can do.

I don't think we'll see $5000 in 2017. Surely that's too much of a rise from the current price. Price rises of that magnitude are dangerous so I'd rather consider a slow & steady climb.

If we are talking about possibilities, then yes, it is possible that Bitcoin will reach 5000 USD by next week. Who knows, right? Bitcoin never seizes to amaze anyone from us and maybe, just maybe, Bitcoin will give us that surprise. However, if this amount is reached within a week, we might see a sudden drop from that peak. It might bring a bad news for users if that happens.

Bitcoin is too unpredictable to rule out the $5000 mark for this year. Don't forget that the price on January 01 was hovering below the $1000 mark. In all honesty, who did ever expect to see $3000 in just 6 months?

I certainly didn't expected this to happen, and for that reason I am not going to rule out seeing the $5000 mark this year. I also prefer stable growth, but it's not up to us unfortunately.

5000$ this or next week is just impossible I think. But new record 3000$ is possible as never before! :D

I think 5000 would mean many many new dollars put into Bitcoin. Do not think that is possible in such a short time. It is true that the price doubled in just days, but to get a 1500 dollar raise is not the same as to raise by 2000$ AFTER having raised that 1500.

That would mean too much new money put into bitcoin in too short a time. $5000 by the year end is more likely.

It is possible but not within this week or next week unless there will be a huge pump coming in the next few days , but since the price isn't increasing very fast it is really impossible and I guess it would take one and a half year . As of now the only value that is quite possible to reach is $3000 .

I personally think bitcoin will increase but not expecting $5000 by this year without any big events. I think $5000 in 2018.

Stay careful, this might be a real bear this time!

Nah! I don't even think we can get to the $5,000 price now, not even in July or August. It may be possible before the end of this year because I strongly believe 2017 is the year for Bitcoin.

Yeah, that may take another 2 years before it reaches that big price, it reaches $3000 price but it just go back to normal. It can't stay in that price maybe because the users are being happy with that price and selling their bitcoins because it is a good price and profit.

no, it is not possible that bitcoin will be reach 5,000 $ to till the end of 2017, I think may be it will reach 5,000 $ to till the end of 2018 because it depend on investors if they invest their money in bitcoin, so the price of bitcoin will be reach 5,000$ very faster.

not i think we are going to cross 5000$ very soon, we are not going to wait for 2 years but it is expected that we will cross 5000$ in 2018. because still people are buying bitcoin which is increasing the demand a decreasing the supply, and therefore the price of bitcoin is also increasing. and those people who are holding bitcoin from a long time they are also not ready to sell their bitcoin but still holding it and they are expecting that the price to increase more.

If we are talking about possibilities, then yes, it is possible that Bitcoin will reach 5000 USD by next week. Who knows, right? Bitcoin never seizes to amaze anyone from us and maybe, just maybe, Bitcoin will give us that surprise. However, if this amount is reached within a week, we might see a sudden drop from that peak. It might bring a bad news for users if that happens.

and that's correct mate its much better to climb little by little and allow the growth naturally, if btc support really bring the value to that level well that's a good news for all of us since support will not allow the certain fall but like what we always did just invest the money that can afford to lose as fluctuation always preset with btc value.

Its pumped super fast over the past weeks and doubled in under a month. Assuming that happens again, or even if it pumps much slower I don't see why $5000 won't happen this year.

That's a big assumption. Bitcoin could be valued much higher already and probably would be if it were going to go up to $5,000 this year. I think this 3k price we recently reached was way too much about 2x the real value. $900-$1300 was where we left the ground. USDT manipulation and disallowing of withdraws on bitfinex and more.... caused a bunch of illogical market action that grew into exuberance and irrationality as new people came on board. Exchanges have become more comfortable with big risk because their users are carrying their huge risk burden by default.

I hope a bear makes a killing. These last 3 months have been fishy as hell and I know they like fish.

Unlikely, $5000 is a fortune and not everyone could afford to stay an active trader, we need to grow in value slowly, pumping the price will cause a real bubble to form and when it bursts it will further disappoint investors and new comers then you'll see people coming here and talking about a bubble and spread negative energy around here.
Something like a $100 increase would be nice every week to allow day traders and investors to prioritize their schedules.
However I really don't care about current prices.

yes you are right it is bot possible that the price of bitcoin reach 5000 dollars in a week or July or August because the price of bitcoin is not reach to even 3000 dollars, its price is now about 2500 dollars and it is impossible in even in this year or next that the price reach to 5k $ but i think may be this will be possible in the end of 2018 or in the beginning of 2019.

It won't becausee there is too much hapenning with Bitcoin at the moment.

Still no scalability fix and our Bitcoin just got threatened by Jihan because of the UASF coming soon on August 1st.
https://blog.bitmain.com/en/uahf-contingency-plan-uasf-bip148/

Considering all that has happened recently, I imagine that Bitcoin is only alive because it is the pioneer in the world of cryptocurrencies and is already accepted and stamped as the "virtual currency" all over the world. Just compare Bitcoin with other currencies in the market and you will see how expensive our fees are, how slow our transactions are and how divided our community is, which ends up destroying the currency and its growth in the future.

I imagine we could have hit the $5000 some time ago if it wasn't for all this problems keeping Bitcoin's growth stuck.

Keep your Bitcoin, but also buy promising coins like Dash, Decred and Litecoin just in case.

But in a case that bitcoin survived that August 1 happening, surely bitcoin will give us another new trend. The hype it will build will become more stronger and soon that $5,000 target is achievable.

Honestly Im worry with that as time closes by but like in the past, there are lots of major events that wants to changed what bitcoin is but never become a succesful. Hoping for the best here.

So what is the exactly will happened on August 1?  What are some of the effect that it will give to bitcoin?

Is the price decrease now prior to the date have higher chances or just a FUD to take profits? We compare bitcoin fees now to other cryptos because other cryptos doesn't have a high price today and demands and usage are not too much.

I'd like to know this as well. Seems like a lot of FUD is going around about this date

There are some things coming up in a couple months. That MAY drive the price up but for the next month or so we may actually dip down in price below $2000. Now is the time to book profits, after June is over, its not a good idea to sell because the price may abruptly start to rise.

I agree.  From what I watch in the markets I am starting to see a trend in the money flow index X volume,  I think we could have some manipulation in the markets to keep us at this mark.
I think before we see any more sharp rising. we are 100% guaranteed a setback in the price.

Be careful.

So, what will happen on Aug 1st 2017?

Well, the basic story is that a majority of the bitcoin nodes will try to force the miners to implement a protocol upgrade proposal called BIP148.

They will try to do this to end the stalemate between the various parties in the block size debate which has stalled the evolution of Bitcoin over the last year or so.

Transaction fees are very high right now because of this.
This may play out in a couple of different ways but basically, your main concern should be a possible chain split after a fork.

 A chain split will result in two different tokens. This happened to Ethereum last year and it has happened to other cryptocurrencies too.

If you don’t control your keys during a chain split three main things may happen:

Your bitcoin balance will stay the same and you will be able to use that bitcoin token as usual.
Your bitcoin balance will be zero over night since your wallet chose the wrong chain
Your wallet provider will offer you a chance to keep your token balance on both chains or to choose one of them

If you do control your keys you will have the same balance on both chains and you will be able to trade one for the other, effectively increasing your total bitcoin balance. In the case of a chain split there’s a big chance that bitcoin will lose its value, however. Either way, you’re better off knowing what you’re doing and in Bitcoin there’s no way of faking that. Now go on and educate yourself! Google BIP148, Segregated Witness, cold storage, soft forks and hard forks! It’s your donkey that’s on the line!

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-independence-day-could-users-tip-the-scales-in-the-scaling-debate/

If Segwit is activated now we will be at $5000 very quickly. Markets hate uncertainty. Either way Segwit will be activated August 1st via UASF BIP 148. A chain split may or may not occur its too early to tell. Just make sure your have your bitcoin off exchanges and in a cold storage wallet where you control your keys by August 1st in case it does happen.

Yeah, this this upcoming network splitting will be getting on the nerves of the users and may cause a panic but after it, damn, expect the price to rise beyond $3000. But I do not expect it to increase more than that, many users are saying that Australia is not that big so I am not expecting a $4000 price, maybe next year.

no not soon this month btc price may go down below $2000 or more maybe next month we can expect price to go up.

How do you think this will be when the price will hover around the $10,000 level at some point? Bitcoin becomes less affordable for the general public year on year, and this will only continue in the forthcoming years. People have to nurse themselves with smaller chunks of a whole Bitcoin in order to "stay in the game". Exchanges already offer the option to switch to mBTC - instead of buying yourself 0.1BTC (one tenth of a whole unit), you'll be buying 100mBTC (100 units). Effectively it's all the same, but psychologically it's an important aspect that changes how people look at this situation - see it as a more is better sort of logic.

Well it's a hard thing to break the barrier of $3k and $5k is going to be far from now. Well we are now on a bullish roller coaster ride but once we get into the dip and slope. The price may get back higher again, I will be good at selling back at $3k. I always miss the action of selling and I haven't ride any of it since last year.

Answer not any time soon. What is with all of these off the wall questions. Will bitcoin reach this when will it reach that. Who the hell knows if we had the answer we would not be on a message board.

Major correction,  use it as a buying opportunity today!

The UASF will forked the chain of bitcoin. But I've a question, What will happen if the chain gets splitting? Another clone of bitcoin will have appeared? This time the bitcoin gets a major dump and I will be expecting to buy bitcoin around $2100. Sure if the bitcoin will reach $4000 in the future but not for this time. At least AU is a good place to give a support for the bitcoin itself. If AU can bring the more demands for bitcoin and it's enough.

Correct. I think the reason for the price to tank is the announcement from Bitmain to start mining their own version of Bitcoin if SegWit happens to activate through UASF. It's just another bit of drama that comes from the side of the miner. I don't rule out that we will test $2000 in the coming 24-48 hours. If we happen to maintain our position above $2000, we'll slowly bounce back up, but if we happen to fall below $2000, we might stay there for a while.

There's always a the same scenario and drama way back when the price was still at $1,000 and it did have hard time to come back on that state. But upon reaching $2k it did went up easily but now on $3k-$5k there's always a barrier on it. I guess the same thing will happen, $1k hard>$2k easy>$3k hard>$4k easy>$5k hard.

   OK, I`m a newbie and I do not understand how much bitcoin can actually worth one day, and where is this price going. Can someone clear that for me, what are we waiting for? This threads " are we going to $4000, are we going to $5000 " are all the same, and most of the comments are same, and I do not see the point, where this price is going, and when will this rise stop?

Just start googling and do research. Get a wide variety of views and you can get an idea of where it is going. It is not going anywhere but up long term, I mean real long ie  years and decades. There will always be some hickups, corrections if you will but overall expect a price increase year after year.

Big wigs in media and business tv personalities that thought bitcoin was a joke, a fluke are now bullish. Money morning is a good site a guy named david usually does a weekly price. Lot to digest lot to learn bUT the future is bright!

If your mindset is good and always positive? Yes, we are going to reach 5000$ in bitcoin. There's nothing wrong with that if we believe it. It's a great deal also. For the beginner to encourahe them to use it as there income or for those who want to have an extra money that they would not spent there time in office.

Definitely takes time to reach the target, the price of 5000USD is not impossible. Now this increase is always in support by some positve news, but a few hours ago bitcoin prices decreased. But there may be only a slight correction and will rise again as some countries reopen the door for bitcoin regulation.

Yes it is true that the price of Bitcoin come very low in this week but I don't think that the price of Bitcoin will decrease below 2000 dollars because the price of Bitcoin is now recovering and today the price increases from 2200 dollars to 2300 dollars so I think in the coming week the price of Bitcoin will be above 2500 dollars but I think 5000 dollars in this month or year is impossible.

Bitcoin need some momentum in order to achieve $5000 as last rally made it increased from $1300 to $2800 within a month.
I think it won't be easy because many people will quit after find out bitcoin fees is too high and has long time confirmation.
Unless this problems could be solved, than bitcoin could reach that price someday, not this month or next month but maybe in the end of the year.

The week is about to end and we are not even close to that, we are at half the price of 5000 dollar, this should show us that we need to be positive but we must not get carried away and think bitcoin is some kind of magical money that grows out of trees, bitcoin in the long run will go up but it will  not go up that fast anymore.

People get too excited sometimes  ;D

I think it will happen around september after the dust over UASF has been settled whether UASF wins or not.

That's a more a dream rather a reality. The price of bitcoin hasn't been changed that too much within a short period of time, at the moment of writing the price of bitcoin should be doubled (maybe a bit more) to reach the target of $5k which I think is impossible, it may be needed few months for this but still it is too hard, I just can imagine how much would the other coins worth after the rise of bitcoin.

Nah, I don't think so.
It will take months to reach $5,000 or maybe before this 2017 ends. Today, btc just only reach $2800, we're all hoping it would reach $3,000 before the end of the week. Many of us are waiting for this to happen, we all have plans to our coins if this thing happens.

No. Extremely unlikely that this would happen. Even in one year.

With benefit of the hindsight the crash was going to happen as soon as you wrote this post.

Asking for a double in price within a week is just impossible for anything, not just bitcoins. You never see stocks double in price in one week, you rarely see altcoins double in price in one week as well. If you just want your money doubled - it's quite simple. Hold your bitcoin for the long term and you'll reap major profits, way more than just $5000 per bitcoin.

Soon we'll be progressing towards $5000, but only factor that keeps the user base under expectation is the price move on the unexpected time period. $5000 is something achievable and realistic without any dreaming or comparing

Personally I think the result will matter, people are very negative about bitcoin at the moment because we seem unable to get a solution to the high fees and slow confirmation time, if we finally get segwit approved then the price will go up no doubt about that but if we don’t we run the risk of the negativity augmenting and that will impact the price.

This should show us that we need to be positive, but we must not get carried away and think bitcoin is a kind of magic money growing from a tree, bitcoin in the long run will go up but it will not go up that fast again. because if the price of bitcoin $5000/btc very extraordinary so could affect economic development in countries around the world

I thought that we could easily reach $5,000 but that seems to be little bit hard after the sudden fall in bitcoin price from $2800.But still we could expect bitcoin price to reach $5,000 after august 1st when segwit 2x is to be activated.We could expect $5,000 within this 2017 end.

not sure if next week or next month, but I believe the price must be $5000 next year.

With the current situation of miners, It looks very unlikely with these conditions.

If Jihan takes control of bitcoin, it will be all over. Not only for bitcoin, but all cryptos. It won't happen instantly. Bitcoin may even hit 5k$ after that shitstorm. Hell even a shitcoin like eth made x40 jump in a couple months. 5k$ can easily be achieved. Reaching to 5k$ has no meaning if we can't hold bitcoin there for a long time. With the slightest loss of trust, bitcoin will fall below 1k$.

A similar situation has already taken place with eth. 9$>400$ happened. People lost their trust in eth and it was insta bloodbath to 200$

If we can't keep bitcoin as a decentralized asset, that's exactly what we are going to experience.

 :o :o :o :o

There are months that I have not read the news about bitcoin because my internet is very slow, I am completely lost....

Is it possible for this jihan to take control over bitcoin?

---

OP, we are not even  $3000 and you are already asking this question?

answering your question

No, the maximum I think I can reach this year will be $4500

Reaching $5,000 per coin actually doesn't require much of an effort. Even if Bitcoin re-captures the previous crypto-coin market share of 80%, then $5K can be easily achieved (if the crypto market cap remains constant). And there is a strong chance of that happening, once the uncertainties surrounding the fork are removed.

Considering that we never had any cryptocurrency with stable $5000 price I wouldn't say that reaching $5000 is easy, or doesn't require much of an effort.
It will be a huge milestone for Bitcoin, and I doubt that after scaling upgrade will end positively bitcoin's price will reach $5k just like that.

Recent GDAX ETH crash showed us that every cryptocurrency is linked to each other. Negative ETH news will undermine bitcoin's position too.

Dude, what do you expect? He controls the major pools and made them his bitch because he is the main (and the only) miner manufacturer. If those pools don't do what he says, he won't make those "special" discounts anymore. To stiff his monopoly even further, he created ASICBOOST and patented it and because of that, there will never ever be any competing companies.

What do all these tell you?

We are already holding Jihancoin and the only reason that i'm still holding mine because i have a little hope of getting rid of him one day.

Bitcoin will surely achieve that price in future but no one knows when exactly it will happen and we may need to wait for a long time as everyone is hoping to see that price in the end of the year but I doubt that it will be able to achieve it in this year.

Not in next weeks, not in next month, not in this year without any big event to have an expectation bitcoin will going to $5000 is really hard.

There is obviously a change that Bitcoin will reach thousand dollars this week or next week. But the question is, how high is that chance? The answer, extremely low. The price did rise over 1 and a half thousand dollars in the span of a couple of days when the price went up from 1 thousand to 2 and a half thousand dollars. However, I think that if the price shot up again, it wouldn't be a good thing for Bitcoin as the sharp rises are the cause for the insane amount of volatility of the Bitcoin price. I think that the price will sit around 2500-3000 dollars for a couple more months and then steadily rise up from there.

If bitcoin will not continue to crash and go down for like $2000 i'm sure it will hit to 2800-3200 dollars for a few months. Some other users are already panicking for the sudden drop. I believe that it will take a couple of year or more  before bitcoin will hit to $5000 since some other countries are already accepting bitcoin, and it will give a big impact to bitcoin price.

There are many big events yet to unfold. So, you cannot say "not in this year".
Segwit activation and some countries to legalize bitcoins are few among them but with big weighted news. I guess without any big news also bitcoin may get into $5000 levels just by self-promoting along with new ATHes. Yes, new peak prices will attract new investors and it may go recursively.

Reality and we will see already a good potential in Bitcoin and the price growth can begin next month even before the end of the year. If the price is 5000 dollars, then it's already 2018, most likely. But for some reason everyone expects a bad number in August. What can it be, and why are everyone afraid of this date?

I believe and hope at the end of this year's new year's Eve price value of bitcoin $5000/BTC because after I see the movement of the bitcoin now still with position on the number $2600 this price may be turned up again because of the price movement is the faster the bitcoin

Yes, we are going there but we cannot know exactly when. This year is possible but it is more likely to happen next year (2018) during its first half. We are on a bear market and Bitcoin is behaving berserk lately, no certain destination. Though we have Australia on July, the raise in demand is being countered by the fears for the upcoming segwit activation. And since India is next in line after Australia, 2018 is the best possible year for 5,000 USD per Bitcoin.

It is true that now the $3000 mark is now the main hurdle which bitcoin have to cross because when ever bitcoin is coming near $2800 their is full selling and going back 200 or 300 points down, so once it is cross we can see sudden price increase just like $1000 hurdle was their once it crossed powerfully we saw $2800 range of price .

The bitcoin price over the past few months is too stable so there is no significant increase. There has been no very positive news today. Probably the closest one is segwit, then kitq visa see bitcoijnakan price increase or decrease. Looking at the various analysis and also predictions then many people who stated that on August 1, 2017 will be a significant increase.

Its depends on the demand and also the volume of bitcoin we can it thru graph of coins which ia can determine when the time of bitcoin comes up we are almost the the $3,000 dollar it is really impossble to reach that spectaculation on this month or next month. But i would be happy if it becomes too.

Looks like we won't be hitting $5,000 on this run at all. I would expect to see $1,500 before $5,000. Maybe on the next bubble.

This week or next week? That will be impossible, we all know we have an upcoming network splitting this August, though it is not still sure, are making many users and inbestors panic, selling off their bitcoins waiting for a dump to buy again. I can't bkame then it is the good way to make profit. Maybe after the month of August, we will be seeing a price above $3000, $5000 maybe will be up at the last month of this year.

Segwit pump could lead the price to $5000. The hype will be real within one month.

I'm monitoring this event on August 1. But I don't want to say that it will pump on exact day of August 1 or it won't be pumping. But if ever this increase will be in reality I will definitely going to sell possibly 25% of my total holdings.

I hope so it'll be in one month but I'm still having doubts on that time frame. Seems like it could lead to the price of $5000 probably by end of this year, but we'll never know it could be after August 1 too.

I think august 1 is given a big expectation. Finally this will go opposite to that people were predicting. Price might go higher and cross the $3000 before the august. Rest is purely unpredictable, because the same price pumping towards $3000 might took the price above $5000. Other than that I believe the year end price increase might provide a chance.

5K ?

I bet on 12k before 2018

Yes.

I'm not sure I would "bet", but I sure do wish!

If SegWit2X gets activated, then it will happen before the first of August. It basically means that miners will need to do it before an UASF gets initiated, which I am quite sure of that miners won't hold back. But still, as long as it doesn't happen, the UASF remains there as back up. Overall, it's good to have it as back up, but the point is that we don't know how miners will respond to that, and that's where the uncertainties kick in.

I like you optimism bro but realistically I doubt we can get to $5000. Not yet. So much will be happening in the bitcoin ecosystem in the next couple of months. But I seriously don't see that we can break the $5000 this week or next week. Best bet is maybe before the end of the year. I speculate that we are in the range of $4000-$5000 then.

What would be the reason for that? even if the year ends in $3000 it would be remarkable, especially for the fact that the graphs show the sustained growth that lately  had, there is still the possibility that the price falls until 2000 or 1500 maybe before it recovers at the end of the year.

Yes the bitcoin price is currently down, but I'm sure the price will stay above $ 2,000. It is impossible for bitcoin prices to reach $ 5,000 in a week, a month, or in the near future. To achieve that bitcoin takes quite a long time, so it's still impossible. It's still too far to think of it and maybe I agree if the year ends in $ 3000 it will be remarkable. Bitcoin will reach $ 5,000 that's for sure, but be patient.

So far $2500 ish and beside that price has exponentially increased as mining difficulty has increased steadily, if that continues to be the norm for Bitcoin then I don't see why not, with one condition though, if miners avoid screwing with the fork and every thing goes smooth after or before Aug 1st. Wu seemed pretty confident about his forking away last time, just fingers crossing to see this madness past.

I think we still have one month left in the august and we can expect anything from the bitcoin during this period. Something if encouraging came during this period I think the price can cross $3000 before the august even.
The current price of the bitcoin is like in a to and fro motion of $2500 & $2600 so it may jump above and can reach again to $3000. I think the bitcoin is capable of chasing this price very soon.

I am confident and believe the price will reach bitcoin with $5.000/btc at the beginning of the year 2018 is a good start, it is currently not possible to achieve because only $2.500 to the beginning of July, but it does not affect the movement of the bitcoin because prices haven't been stable but I am mempercayain about this bitcoin will soar high

Of course it is! Year 2017 is still long to give up to attain that amount because we are only on the beginning of month of july and It means that there's a lot of things might happen it could be bad or good. However, it will never ended up into bad as long as our support is on bitcoin because I do believe that we are the key for the success of bitcoin. 5000 usd per btc can achieve within this year if bitcoin will continue to rise.

If that happens we are the luckiest. When the price was moving in a fast phase towards $3000 it was predicted that by the upcoming year starting we'll reach $3500. Now at the same time if we reach $5000 that's very big and gets everyone of us a good earning with the difference.

I am also optimistic about the price of the bitcoin that it will not come below the range of $2000 even if the segwit hard fork goes negative the segwit if went positive it will have a great impact on the price of the bitcoin and if it don’t reach to $5000 it will reach somewhere near to this price. Anyway I am confident that the Bitcoin price will not drop more the 10% it things went wrong.

5000$ is possible, of course, but from my point of view this will not happen so soon. In one period bitcoin price was very quickly heading towards 3000$ and everyone thought then there are no limits anymore. But don't forget that market is unpredictable, many factors you can't influence have impact on it, so everything is possible.

This will be a more optimistic approach and I guess expecting $5000 in the month of September or October may not be possible if anything great happens to bitcoin like acceptances from various countries. If China, Russia, Australia or India announces to accept bitcoin then the price may raise high even more otherwise the price will remain around $1800-$2700.

I think you should understand that countries aren't, and likely won't accept Bitcoin in the future. Legalization of Bitcoin is something completely different than accepting Bitcoin, from a governmental position. Other than that, people are mainly focusing on what will happen with SegWit2X and the UASF, which for now has far more priority than whatever country legalizing Bitcoin....

People are constantly concerned with the price of bitcoin. This is because bitcoin is not perceived as a currency, even those who have it. How, then, can you talk about the future of this currency. Currency is not a means of investment, as a means of acquisition. If bitcoin will be the currency of the price you will not be interested.

Yeah people are to eager, let bitcoin reach 3k first and then 4k until we reach those 2 milestones it is useless to think about 5k since those two milestones needs to be reached first before we can set our eyes on the 5k mark.

The price move is quite a sustained starting from few weeks back after decreasing from the price near to $3000. So in my belief $3000 is almost a reached milestone which could happen anytime soon. Based on the price move taking place at that particular time we can predict whether the milestone $4000 and $5000 will be reached in a short or not.

Bitcoin price will surely hit $5,000 or even more than that but know one can tell when is that time. I know we all want bitcoin to fly to the moon and make us all rich but why not we all try to start educating people about bitcoin while waiting for that time to come?

Now the $5000 mark has become sentimental barrier and they are not able to cross 4800$ mark as bad news are coming more to dump the price. but we will see the price moving above 5k within this month.

may be next week because, for now only the highest can reach $ 4700 I hope next week can reach the price 5000 $ it can give a shock effect for potential investors

Currently bitcoin prices are experiencing simultaneous increase and decrease. But the price is always stable and also not far move. Though this can be used to be able to earn profits. Bitcoin prices are currently below the $ 5000 rate, seeing the possibility that the price opportunity to reach these rates could happen in this month. We must be optimistic and can use bitcoin every day for better bitcoin development.

Maybe the ongoing price drop might be an initiation for the price pumping. Whether the price increases high or not, with the ongoing price fluctuations the price will surely reach $5000. Same scenario took place in the past when the price was circulating around $2500.

I am sure that soon we will see a pumping in prices again. Bitcoin someone wants to hold back. But this does not work very well. He is already very strong and the price is quickly recovering

Actually in past time, the price of Bitcoin has been pumped and breakout $5,000 in exchange China, just by demand buy in other exchange not enough for keep this trend has make Bitcoin falls down with bad news till today.

well, after china do some things, i think it is very difficult to reach the price of $ 5000 this month. well, I just think that this is an opportunity for us, to have a lot of bitcoin, before bitcoin prices go up high, or reach $ 5000 for 1 btc

Prices are not going to slash down over these news or even if China takes out their money off BTC on the go. I think this dip is temporary just like we saw before when it went down to 4100 from 5k and it is doing the same thing again by breaking down from 4650 back to 4197. My instinct says that we are not going below 4k and yes, you are right that it's an opportunity to buy bitcoins at these rates because even if BTC goes back to 5k soon, you will get more than 20% added to your portfolio which even none of the banks in this world promise to give.
