Bitcoin Forum

It's here.

Yay! Let's watch the rally!

I like to watch Bitcoin's price from this web https://www.etoro.com/markets/btc
There are some investors whose have not any idea whats the diference between Bitcoin and Ethereum posting

I never thought I would see this day this year! Bitcoins are really reaching amazing levels and it is actually already unpredictable in this sense. Right now we are already 300% since the end of 2016 and we might even see $10,000 this year if this continues. It's getting crazy! Everybody hodl and pray it sticks.

I bought at the end of 2016 and I can confirm that price has increased a lot

I see it 2920$ on preev.com and 2950$ on CoinMarketCap, where is the 3000$? Anyway, I'm a really optimistic person but let's deal with it. It's just a matter of time till It drops again because people are looking for the short term gains and start panic selling, while they could simply wait a few weeks/months to make big, If not huge earnings.

Yes it's on the way. This is impressive since no big trend is established recently for price to reached that level if ever. Pure normal market move on a moderate speed and not on a burst. We might see the price will land to an unexpected price range once price rally will happened again. Hopefully the slow phase will continue before it will performed again a large boost.

I think this thread should be in Speculation section.

It's breaking news on all the wires.

It was for a short amount of time but we got it there.
It's just a matter of time until the price goes to $3000 and stays there just like we did with $2500 and $2800.

I can even imagine we are going to hit again today or even this week.

Same thing, different prices

I'm sure the price of Bitcoin is not just silent here, maybe the price will rise again in the next month so I hope Bitcoin is safer and save it as a long term investment, I think you will greatly benefit for your life and family.

It's might push further to $3,500 this week after a strong correction at $2950. The momentum is very strong and we may not see a drop now as everybody are fining out what bitcoin is and why it price keep on increasing.

It has not looked cool when you will see it touching $ 5000 price in the near future, I think it will make bitcoin look great

The price is fantastic for now when the achievement of bitcoin 3000 / $ hopefully will continue to increase and not down again.. :)

I heard rumors it will reach 10'000$
I did laugh when I heard that, however now I am laughing no more ^-^

Even if just one moment of dropping to $2700 i think we should start buying hard
And with the demand increase,wait for some couple of months and boom PROFIT

Yes, i like it, the up trending will be continue up to $5000/BTC i guess because there is good innovations on bitcoins network, it is the activation of segwit on bitcoins network, it will be fix block size of bitcoins. Although the segwit still doesn't be activated but the impact on bitcoins price is good today is increased up.

Its finally happening in our very own eyes and we hope to see more of it and shame those who are waiting that we all bite ourselves for believing this much and holding this long. Even though I joined quite late, its still better to be late to a party than not to attend. We are getting there gradually.

No, until now bitcoin doesn't touch the 3000$, But it's too close to achieve this barrier. Maybe after few hours. I am so excited about this price. It's an unreal :D
Dear bitcoin, Keep going to the moon please.

Guys, finally. Here we are. Remember the the March, there were extremely serious hard fork rumors about bitcoin and we saw the deep which is $875. After 3 month long recovery time, we hit up $3,000 fortunately. Congrats all who hold their bitcoins.

It is just by the corner, meaning it would only require a little push and we are there! No doubt, by the time we finally get there, lots of traders are likely to take profit and that would lead to drop from the new high, but that wont be the end of the road as further appreciation in the price of Bitcoin in 2017, remains in view given the increase in its adoption across the globe.

Well bitcoin and most other coins dumped a bit, I do agree however 3k$ is coming back very quickly and then the sky is the limit. We will probably see $5k before the end of the year quite easily.

Yes but it doesn't take away the chance for bitcoin to hit $3,000. This dump is considered small and I don't see any reason for bitcoin price not to reached the level of $3,000. There are traders who have set their buy orders at around $2,500 so we can see a support there.

As soon as the price will recovered again, the target price of $3,000 can even be passed.

What are you talking about? Guys above you gave screenshots of the price touching $3000 for a short time.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if it did or didn't, what matters is that we are still in an uptrend and breaking ATH is a great confirmation of that. This means thatt we can expect another approach at ATH in a couple weeks.

Some time ago there has been a bitcoin price dump. Bitcoin had reached 3000USD and now back down at rates 2700USD up to 2800USD. But this is still fairly positive because of the small increase often occurs, we are all still optimistic the price will return to the top. slowly but surely, everything will be better.

now it's down to 2600 again ??? is this bubble ow what?

No bubble, just a normal movement and I'm now hopeful to see bitcoin's price catch up at $3,000. There is a balancing in the market of supply and demand as profit takers started to cash out that is going to make them sell their bitcoins that makes the price lower again and getting back to unexpected price together with those panic sellers.

Yeah, it is just like a Korean Tv show where you we're be pissed on how they cut the good things and you need to wait for the next day air time. But, we all know where it will be going, Up! I think there are some users that sold their bitcoin after reaching the $3000 price, well, who would not do such thing, it is a big profit.

Isn't that terrific, well its back down at the dip again so we will need to wait a bit longer to see it once again at 3K.
Well take a ride if you dare a roller coaster has dips as well.

I haven't seen Bitcoin reached the 3000 USD mark (I am lurking at coinmarketcap.com). I have seen the 2999.91 USD after the correction and since then, Bitcoin is just steadily going up and down and literally avoiding the $3000 borderline. I have read that some exchange priced bitcoin at $3000 so maybe it is here. I am already on board.  ;D

It barely passed it on most exchanges but mostly it was bitfinex which was trading at a premium that had it quite far ahead of the rest.

I'm already waiting for this bitcoin to come its peak, of course, a very huge experience with this, but I think that we will all wait for growth and our profit point of 3,000 dollars for one Bitcoin is still small, because I hope for much more.

Just stay calm and soon we are going to reach another landmark $3000. Its just a matter of days before we officially touch it and stay they for a little longer. I guess investors are just cashing it out seeing the price of bitcoin going to almost $3000. But for most people, holding is the only option because they believed that bitcoin can truly go to the moon at the end of year.

During Sunday and Monday the price of bitcoin surpassed the line of $2,990 according to the charts of coinmarketcap, without touching the expected mark of $3,000 yet. Are we seeing a significant resistance at that point? I do not think so. Just as there does not seem to be enough reasons to explain the current bullish trend, there also seems to be no reasons to expect a sharp drop in price, so in my opinion after a few days oscillating between  2,700 and 2,900, the line of $3,000 will be far behind by the end of this month.

but in previous night the price fell down some more and reached to 2500$. but in fact people are still too much confident about the price of btcoin and they are thinking that the price of bitcoin will cross 3000 USD again and therefore the price is now again trading above 2700$, and more chances are that this time it will even cross 3000$ and will reach to 4000$ very soon. so holdng bitcoin in such position can be more profitable.

Whoa! It should be a clueless newbie holding such a view and not a hero of this forum! The surge in the price of Bitcoin is obviously as a result of increased demand orchestrated by more adoption across the globe. The factors behind the increase in demand are fundamental and pertinent, meaning they are here to stay so we can expect that the end of the upsurge  is not yet in view.

As for the drop in price of Bitcoin, it is normal for any financial asset as its price never continues indefinitely in anyone direction. It is more or less a cooling off to gather momentum for the next climb.

So far it seems that this project, previously hyped and announced to be bitcoin killer app, is not doing anything to boost bitcoin price and credibility.
We will have to wait for the final version to be here, maybe it will catch on after some time and become another major service a new Napster perhaps.

The price of 3000$ should be hit anywhere within the next three weeks. Bitcoin price is recovering and can easily hit 2700$ today. So I speculate that in the next three weeks that 3000$ which has been so difficult to catch can be touch. I just hope that once we hit 3000$ I don't want to see the price crashing again and at least stay at that level and go up.

Everyone wants it to be so. Especially investors who invested in bitcoin a lot of money. I think that bitcoin has all chances to reach the price of 3000-3200 dollars in the next three weeks. Especially after he is legalized in Australia

$3000 is an important mark for Bitcoin, the price already failed to go above it and some say there will be another dump when the price recovers to $3100.

I don't think $3000 will be broken for good before August

It seems that reaching this 3000 is very difficult, every time the price reaches the 2800 suffers a great fall, at least this time did not fall below  $2000

Those who understand the flow really benefiting from this  as we seen fluctuation really made pro traders so rich since they are targetting some position and after hitting it they will sell it and wait again for retrace 3k$ is very possible before this year end.

I think price movements will continue to be like this and last for at least a month more before we see another bullish market. The next market movement can either be a dump to lower than 2100$ price or a pump to 3000$+ that might probably happen after the scaling debate has been solved and after making a consensus. I hope that the outcome is a pump to 3000$+ price.

It is possible that it will happen exactly as you say. Bitcoin has every chance this year to reach the top of 3000 dollars. But it is not easy to achieve, but to remain on this summit without going down

We have already been this year at 3000$. At least for a while, but still. In the meantime this smaller correction has happened but shortly after that the price begun to rise again. If market goes on the stable up going track again we could see 3000$ in very short period of time.

Well the price crash has been short lived. We are now at the $2600 levels but I think touching $3000 is getting difficult. I'm seeing that it may probably take us a month to get to there. Looks like its the new psychological barrier for most of the traders or investors. I'm feeling a new dump will happen once this psychological barrier that is $3000 is breach. We need another positive news that will impact and push the price to a new heights so that it will not crash again once we reach this price level.

Literally any price is possible before august 1st. What's interesting is to know what the price will be after august 1st.

We have UASF camp vs Bitmain camp coming, so that's potentially how many bitcoins...3? What a shitshow. I hope it turns out okay because im not looking forward to see my BTC crash during summer.

It is quite unpredictable, Nobody have thought bitcoin will pump hard like this and will pass $2000 mark within few weeks so even $3000+ is possible before august.

Totally true, though what is predictable is that whenever bitcoin prices went up this fast, it will definitely go down by about 20% or more then slowly rise back up again from where it came from. Then it will just repeat that cycle again. We'll definitely see another one of this even in the next few weeks.

And that is a good thing right?
It is like bitcoin is stopped at a level or something where people could buy again then wait for another price hike.
If it reaches $3000 then anotger profit for those who didnt doubt and bought at this price now.
Sure it is expensive but it will be worth it after the great increase. Again and again.

As long as you aren't selling any of your coins, you won't lose anything. Instead of looking at this whole situation from a negative standpoint, you could see a potentially very rewarding opportunity to buy yourself as many extra coins as possible at great discount levels. Point is that you have no other option than to just swallow everything that comes towards you. You either keep mocking, or use that situation in your advantage - I go for the latter.

I was going to say i predict bitcoin to hit 3k when that tezos ico came cause I thought it was only bitcoin but i see now that it is Ether as well so im going to have to push the prediction into september, I think a more stable bitcoin price for the time being is possible.

I haven't seen Bitcoin touched the 3000 dollar mark. I have seen it very close to it and constantly avoiding reaching it. Even my pal coinmarketcap.com does not show Bitcoin reached that value. However, I suppose that it will be reached and be surpassed this July after the acceptance of Bitcoin as a mode of payment in Australia. I am pretty confident it will.  8)

As of now june 19 the price of bitcoin is 2500 dollars and I hope the price of bitcoin will reach 3000 dollars so we can make a lot of profut after that.  3000 for sure will happen we need patience . Patience is virtue. Maybe next week it will happen.

The correction did happened already. And now bitcoin seems to be having hard time to cross the mark of $2,700. It reached $2,600 yesterday but now it's back at $2,400. So this look likes we are now in a calm market and with my observation what is going to happen next. There will be a blowing up to the price for the next days.

The price did drop today. After a calming 2 days of seeing it around $2500-$2600 price. It looks like there are panic selling again. I hope it will just be another short lived dip because if not then the elusive $3000 will be difficult to reach. I don't know what cause this selling again. Are people losing faith in bitcoin now?

The price drop today after touch at $2,674 and drop to $2,490 in bitstamp price.. I think its not a panic sell its just a normal movement of the price that there are someone are selling few bitcoins to gain a  profit.. if they bought the price from $2,300 value they already got the profit if they sell it today,,
And i think the price can be increase back again soon.. just don't panic to sell if you want to make profit..

I think we can see $2800+ price by the weekend but there is also possibility of going back again to $2100 whatever happens just hold your coins to make profit and don't sell your bitcoin for cheap price. Bitcoin is here to stay for long term it will be worth more than $10000 in next few years so hold it strong now.

Yup. I was also surprised today by the sudden dip of the price but from the looks of it, this is just another price correction. People cash out for profit we can't blame them for that. Others decided to just sit back and wait and not panic sell because price will rise up again after this correction.

Well I don't see it as price correction, because some speculations might hinder the price pump and gaining investors who hold for another long term investments is so hard now. That price we've seen is a legit update and it only happens price falls down due to some were pulling out their bitcoins and sell due to some fears created by those unfair bitcoins investors who only wanted cheaper price to buy for holdings.

For now mate price is flirting with $2600 I think pumpers are refueling for another round maybe tomorrow we'll see some $250 increase?

I don't know why price isn't touching $3K as every time it goes above $2900 someone dumps a big amount of Bitcoins and pushes the price down.

However I'm tasting iron in the air like right before the lightning which a storm is always following, this seems to be the calm before the big

Leap in price just like when it started by a frenzy from $1200 up to present time.

Big crash has arrived. And thanks to it, I have collected a lot of cheap bitcoin. Hope that more people will dump bitcoin so that I can buy with the price cheaper than $2000 and hold bitcoin until it hit $3000. It is awesome

I don't consider it as a drop as the price is still good at $2,500 mark, so it is still calm. Those panic sellers are thinking that this is just a bubble and it popped so they are trying to cope up their possible profit. I've read about the Elliott chart and I'm not good at analyzing those charts but I guess we are currently on that chart. And we will possibly see $3,000 very soon.

I also boight bitcoin when last few weeks the price goes down at 2000 dollars lower. And Im very jappy because the orice today is 2600 dollars and I beleieve the price of bitcoin after few weeks will reach 3000  dollars but dont sell it because after halving the price increase again.

Great and amazing new!!! I believe in cryptosystem!)
Good luck to all!)

there is always a price increase bitcoin today. You might be lucky enough to get bitcoin at the 2,000USD rates. When current rates bitcoin are in the range of 2,500USD, to reach 3,000USD still takes some time. There should be a positive news that can raise the value of bitcoin. So 3,000USD will be achieved and not just a dream.

Great! If we're all users know how to be positive in all time there's nothing to think about of. As a matter of fact being positive all the time makes you body and mind relaxed. It's a good thing. It's true that in bitcoin it's just the beginning! It should be a positive news that bitcoin price can raisethe value.

You know it's really reasonable to become positive about the future of bitcoin and reaching the target price by most of the others. We have reason to become optimistic rather than we are just dreaming about bitcoin should be like this and this and this.

Im a hell positive too about the future of bitcoin and reaching $3,000 is just an easy task. For sure that price will be one of the cheapest price soon. We see good changes, not just good changes but surprising good changes happened in bitcoin for the past years even there are major events that bitcoin price are being pulled down.

Just heard that Segwit2x has achieved some 70% consensus. Now there is a serious chance that it will be activated with the required support (I am still not sure whether the mandatory minimum level of support is 80% or 95%). So unless Jihan Wu pulls dirty tricks, BTC exchange rates should blast upwards within a few days time.

Well it's not a big deal in the long run I remember it wasn't that long ago when we were making threads about leaving 1K behind forever and here we are at $2675 and I do not feel in the slightest that we will see 1K again until forking does something if it is contentious ha-ha and then it would be one side only with the two together still passing the sum ^^ (Optimistic forking viewpoint) Or Segwit2x goes whichever occurs

Didn't notice it, could you share a link about the consensus?
I'm wondering whether this segwit will be good as what we expected from long time ago, when there are a lot of drama to prolong this problems. If all going so well, then $3000 is easy to achieved within days and bitcoin should reach over $5000 in this year.

yes it can reach again over night. and will not take any longer time, because the price of bitcoin has good potential and it is the nature of bitcoin that it can cover 5 to 6 hundred dollar over night. therefore 3000$ is not such a difficult task for bitcoin .

The price of bitcoin as of kow is $2800 and maybe this week or next month the price of bitcoin will hit $3000 and thats good to us because if the bitcoin price hit that we can make a lot of profit. I hope it sill happen as soon as possible. More investor to come us so the price will continue to increase. Hold your bitcoin dont sell it buy more.

In simple terms, if 80% is maintained for a long enough time, it will activate on all SegWit2X compatible nodes. After that, it will take around 3 months before the hard fork will automatically activate on all nodes that run SegWit2X. Other than that, Jihan Wu is nothing more than a barking dog -- very loud in general, but no actions follow that back up his claims/threats....

On a average its currently stands at $2750. Maybe we can touch $3000 before the end of the week. So its better to hold on it. I hope when we reaches it again, it will stay and maintain it for a time. I'm seeing that $3000 is more on a mental barrier now, too attracting to easily sell it because of the profit.

The price went up at $2,730 now. There's almost $270 more to come so that we'll reach at $3,000. And if the price did go up to $2,800 tomorrow or for the next day. Then we will see the price of bitcoin at $3,000 and that's very possible to happen for the next week to come. It's why I keep on holding bitcoins.

I'm not sure the price of $3000 can be reached in the near future, seen that user will sell when the price approached the bitcoin $3000, maybe they've been getting a lot of profit so as to sell all their bitcoin.

It will hit $3000 or over. Bitcoin shows that each major up is much more than the previous up, been like this for atleast end of the year.

You have a point there, most of the users will obviously sell their bitcoins when another All Time High (ATH) bitcoin price show up after this network splitting. That is their strategy to gain or earn profit, as an investor who can't say yes to profit. Though, even it dumps or pumps, I'll keep holding my bitcoins until it reach my goal price.

Holding is indeed the right choice. But when you are given a chance to make a profit then I think the decision should be taken.
With some predictions, 3000USD might be achieved. We must be patient to determine the value of buy and sell.

Bitcoin Is At An All-Time High, But Is It About To Self-Destruct?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2017/06/07/bitcoin-is-at-an-all-time-high-but-is-it-about-to-self-destruct/#53914661cb31 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2017/06/07/bitcoin-is-at-an-all-time-high-but-is-it-about-to-self-destruct/#53914661cb31)

But this outcome may not bother some community members who see either path as a tradeoff. The transaction fees aren’t the only costs in the network. There’s also a cost to starting up a computer or miner that will support the network, and the developers fear that moving to a 2MB cap will increase that upfront cost, thereby concentrating mining power in even fewer hands. Sztorc says, “The people who make a lot of transactions — the business and exchanges — feel the urgency is immense. If anything, they almost have post-traumatic stress disorder at this point, because they get support calls all the time from people saying, My transactions aren’t going through. But these other people are just as serene as they can possibly get. They’re just like, This is how it’s supposed to work. People who can pay the appropriate fee will get it through. They’ll say these lesser transactions are just spam … So for some people, it’s wreaking havoc on their blood pressure and others are just as cool as a cucumber.”

Reaching $3000 is not that far, because we have went close to the price and fell to the bottom close to $2200. So once again the growth towards $3000 has begun and this might make the price touch $3000 anytime soon.

Just remember guys, scaling upgrade is underway. Mining Pools started to signal SegWitx2 2 days ago - which by itself is a very positive development.
The dips and decline we are seeing now are the only reactions of week hands. Investors are scared that there could be something wrong with scaling, a mojor fuck up.
This is why the liquidate some of their BTC holdings to wait out scaling upgrade. It is the best time to buy some still cheap coins.

I have noticed that too. People are indeed waiting for a solid confirmation in the way that everything gets activated properly without any drawbacks, which admittedly is understandable.

By the time the activation is successfully completed, the price has probably peaked massively already, and that's when these people will start to enter the market.

But hey, long term wise they will still be doing well if they just keep hodling and not panic sell as result of the heavy price swings that the market will experience ~ firm hodlers always win.

It won't be easy to touch that price very soon as price has fallen back and it has started to move again slowly and steadily but if we have to see the price of $3k then I think we need to hold our coins till the end of the year as I don't see it reaching there before that.

Yes I think it will hit 3000 easily because the countries are thinking to legalize it and many countries legalized too . and last few days it hits 3000 and then 2700 and I think in a few weeks it will over 3000 or 3500 because as we can see the demand is going on ward and with demand the price will go up

Yes it is very easy for bitcoin as the people and countries making interest in bitcoin I think in 2018 the demand will be doubled and the price will cross 3500 or more. Many countries are thinking to legalizing bitcoin and they will soon do this which will give more value to bitcoin and the interest and invest of traders will double

I was looking forward that in the future value of bitcoin was reach $3000 dollars. Due to continues increasing of bitcoin I was choose to invest to earn income.

For now since the interested people are increase for bitcoin and i heard india was planning to legalized bitcoin in their country it can push the value of bitcoin increase these following months or year once they declare to legal bitcoin in india..
And also hoping to see a good result this august after activation of segwit..

I was no doubt about the price of bitcoin, because I know that in the future, value of the bitcoin were increased up to $3000-$5000 that's my expectations in the future.

This is not far to happen. The slowly but steady crawl in the market will make that to happen.
We're just approaching the $3000 per btc. Maybe before this year ends or just by the first quarter of 2018.
 

We are really near in the $3000 mark value but can we really hit that mark? I think the price is really resisting to go up and just like the last time it just hit a $2700 then goes back to $1900 because of the panic selling, and then the latest one it hit that mark again but still goes back to $2000 mark, and this time it is on the $2900 mark but really resisting to hit the $3000 mark, I am not gonna say that this time we can surely see that price cap but still wishing to land in that mark.
