I think we are going to spend $10,000 per bitcoin sooner than we thought because more countries are legalizing bitcoin. Australia is going to do it on July 1st, India is on its way. What do you think?

10,000$ is not impossible to achieve but when? I don't think we will see it anytime soon, we are currently finding hard times to go to 3000$ so 10k is a little bit unrealistic at the moment. Bitcoin regulation could definitely boost the price a little bit but we will never have a lot of demand until people know for sure that their money is safe, this is only achievable by putting the bitcoin scaling proposals behind us,"chain split" isn't something someone would like to read.

You are looking too low! $10,000 is nothing. BTC can reach $50,000 in a few years and I'm not joking, just wait and see, the potential is there :)

It will go to $50,000 for sure, but first, lets talk about $10,000.

Well I'd say that's a very probable price for Bitcoin and we will see it in max. 2-3 years time. August 1 will raise BTC value I'm sure.

Probably bitcoin can now reach as more than $10000 . It has been popular and it has a high demand in the market now so theres no reason for it not to have as much like that. Many countries will soon legalize it therefore the bitcoin value will increase more. Theres no doubt about it. Bitcoin will rise in 2 to 10yrs more.

I strongly believe that bitcoin is worth $10K at this moment and it is undervalued but I also notice the increasing transaction fees, delayed confirmations & the volatility in the price are the main reasons of bitcoin's slow growth. Everyone out there is excited about bitcoin but not all of them are as risk takers and enthusiastic like us so they will probably enter in bitcoin when we will find the solution to these issues. I am sure a couple of years is the maximum time frame for this milestone.

I do not know if it was good or bad.  Reading all your comments it seems that it is more of a disadvantage.  But, to think that bitcoin price is going higher and higher, and even if it will be legalized in other country, I do not think that it will affect us that great.  But we will see.

I kinda agree with you. The huge civil war and scaling challenge going on could probably be one of the reasons why bitcoin ain't really targeting the moon yet. All these are challenges that would pass anyway and I am sure one day, we will look back and say it was worth it. However it is, we willl survive it but with what OP said, I ain't sure $10,000 is feasible anytime soon.

High fees and slow management of blocksize are still the main reasons why bitcoin prices are still slowing. But I am sure it will be resolved by the end of this year. Bitcoin can go straight up but there are worries about high prices then it will not be balanced with ongoing business, the need to impose prices will always happen but cannot be too drastic, I think the current price is ideal, the next wave will occur at the end of this year.

We will see them for sure but the time is not known if in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years

The outcome might be a reverse of what you stated, as they will be legalized the primary impact will be on improving bitcoin not on gaining demand for higher price because as we know bitcoin is starting to have some certain problems regarding transaction (transaction fee, delay of confirmation) governments might want it to be more functional and useful so high price are unnecissary for doing so. (Bitcoin is not only for investment purposes.)

I know it's my fault for not reading any news, but what's up with all this "legalization" stuff?  Was bitcoin actually outlawed in any countries?   Russia is the only one I ever knew about, and I did read a post about Ecuador or Argentina.   

I'm not a doubter anymore.   I didn't think we'd hit $3000 even two months ago, so 10k could certainly happen within the next couple of years.

Legalizing bitcoin doesn't directly raise the prices. But the raise in number of users is what affect the prices to rise. When a country legalise bitcoin, it helps bitcoin in two way. Existing users get a chance to expand their working with bitcoin either as a form of investment or as payment mode. Whereas new users come to know and start using it who earlier fear to use it as sake of conventional approach. Thus, if such big countries going to legalize bitcoin then we could say $10000 is not a big play. 

Yet again... It's been happening very frequently recently around here, can you post sources to backup your post?

Maybe you mean that double taxation will end in Australia (https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-double-taxation-ends-australia-july-1st/)?

Regarding India, maybe you mean this (https://cointelegraph.com/news/suddenly-bitcoin-to-be-officially-legal-in-india)?

The legalization of bitcoin is absurd. The government just wants to accept bitcoin a means of payment to have the official right to demand payment of taxes from transactions using BTC. I do not understand how this can affect the popularity of BTC. It may have the opposite effect.

I think it may possible in next two to three years . There is no exact or genuine resource for legalising bitcoin in Australia and India I also read some article let's wait and watch.

Legalizing Bitcoin doesn't mean that it price will increase.
Yes, I do accept the fact that more people accept Bitcoin its demand increase, but that doesn't increase the price.
There are still hundreds of facts which are still to be analyzed and we cannot just depend on legalization.

The valuation of BTC clearly is still low in a few years will be in line with the fiat

https://i.imgur.com/6ILwXVp.jpg

This may not be the value you expect, but it all depends on the bitcoin itself. With some high demand will grow it. If year to year with good popularity then it is not possible to get better bitcoin.

Ya it is true that $3k price is not become sentimental hurdle and when ever it is nearing their is a selling pressure i think bitcoin whale dont want the price to cross $3k in this month and when Australia going to give nod on july 1st that time the price will jump not only above $3k but it will go more then that.

It will come when it comes. I do not want to expect to have 10K per bitcoin when we have not even crossed 5K or 3K. Let us see first how things will roll out after the soft or hard or uas fork. After that we may clearly see what lies ahead for bitcoin.

$10K BTC is still a pipe dream.

I think it is a very high value and not easy to achieve.If the demand continues to increase it will change the value of bitcopin,
But there is no precise possibility with a high rate of increase.

Awesome! Australia legalizing them is huge for English speaking Eurocentric countries to see that it's in the best interest of everyone to just make it legal. Lucky for me on July 1st there are going to be lots of fireworks going off because it's Canada day! I'll be celebrating twice as hard  :P

It seems like you are very motivated by that much value,
Yes it is not impossible bitcoin to reach $ 10,000 value, especially with increasing demand will likely be achieved if the popularity of bitcoin continues to increase.

Yall people who think this whole 'to the moon' thing is really going to happen are really an insane breed of human which I'm really not keen on understanding. I'd hope that you'd simply know that buyers now have to want to buy it at that price, and all the sellers have to be determined to be doing that as well. Pretty insane to think of a buy wall at 50,000 for a currency that is having issues right now simply deciding on something that can fix their congestion issue and get them to a point where they'll be able to be pushed to be used by more and more people.

If this coin gets anymore volatile, people are just going to think of it as a pump and dump, or scam shit, we have to get the volatility down so people actually join in on this.

I Exactly think like you, After few months or maybe few years bitcoin will be more powerful and maybe it will attract a big revolution in the world of technology. It's one of valuable things when we talk about money and wealth.
So don't panic and sell your bitcoin, bitcoin price will increase a lot soon. So save it is the best option to make a huge profit in the future.

Considering the past performance, current user base, the potential of the technology and the need of an hour, I think $10K mark should not be far away. However, I respect the situation and market reactions that are restricting Bitcoin to float around $3K.


Yes, I am optimistic about the future and we are on the same page that soon we would be able to control these issues which would directly impact not only the user base but also the price chart in a very positive way.

Since the beginning it was already labeled as scam or shit but it survived and even reaching this high. I think that will not be a problem. The real problem is the scaling which I hope will be solved by segwit2x or bip 148, which ever pushed through.

I quite agree with you, Bitcoin is not lacking in potentials to attain even $250,000 a piece in the long run, but the scaling problem need be addressed in the short run for confidence to be fully restored and stimulate the demand for Bitcoin. My only fear is that Bitcoin might end up its own true enemy if something is not done fast to reach a compromise between core and unlimited. Beyond that Bitcoin remains the coin to beat.

10k bitcoin into next year easily as long as Core doesn't try to fuck things up.

It will happen in one day and hope it will happen sooner than later.

Don't forget that Poloniex may collapse in the meanwhile and cause a bear market

Please come out of mt-cox era. We are not just depending on one or two exchanges for our all needs. There are plenty of choices to trade/invest/exchange hence any hacking attempts or shut down of any exchange will not impact bitcoin prices significantly. I believe poloniex is stronger with latest updates, in worst case even it will be falling, there will not be any big impact with bitcoins prices for sure.

OP correct the thread, the true information has already been given

Sooner or later bitcoin will be worth $10.000, just do not expect it to happen this year... because I doubt bitcoin will reach $6000 that year.

The maximum I think bitcoin can reach in this year will be $4000

Countries legalizing bitcoin is a good thing, however it's not really making that much of a difference.

Take Australia for example, bitcoin trading was already legal anyways. All that has been done right now is the fact that GST(the australian equivalent of VAT) is being taken off from bitcoin purchases. This means that there is no "double taxing", because you'd have to pay another GST when you are buying something with your bitocin initially.

What we need is countries that can loosen their grip on the bitocin industry. A very good example is China. Give exchanges some sort of guideline as to how they should run, but don't go so far that it discourages everyone to use btc.

Nah, I don't think so.
This is so unrealistic, if we can see $3000 just by the 3rd quarter and $5000 by the end of the year I think it can be happen.
But for what happening right now, it could be just so impossible. There's so many issues are popping as August 1 is approaching.
Bitcoin has a long way to go.
Maybe by 2022 or afterwards this dream of yours can be happen but not this time.
Of course, we're all dreaming a sky rocket price for our btc investment but let's us all being realistic.

okay here's the thing we are currently hardly hit $3000 as you can see bitcoin is around $2500-2700 so if you're going to think when will bitcoin hit $10k maybe 2 years from now we can see that price. but who knows what if all countries legalized the bitcoin maybe we can hit that price within 1 year :)

Legalizing Bitcoin as country is one thing, contributing to Bitcoin's growth as country is completely different. Japan has been a great source of growth for Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean this will automatically happen with each country that walks the same path. If we're talking about things that potentially may bring a decent bit of growth to Bitcoin, I would have preferred to see an ETF, as this will open the doors for institutional investors. I still find it weird that the ETF review hasn't been finalized yet. :-X

It will happen at some time but we never know the exact time for sure. It would happen in 3 years or 10 years. One thing is certain that we'll see 10.000 $ per coin.
I don't think countries have big effects on that. The more people come to crypto currency scene the more money bring in, better marketcap for the industry. We don't rely on countries or governments, we rely on people. More people equal bigger marketcap, obviously.

We hit $3000 before a lot of people, if not most people, didn't expect it, so I don't see why $10000 isn't possible before again, most people expect it to be hitted.


Bitcoin grows in exponential cycles, so most people aren't ready to process those big numbers. A lot of people still can't believe we hit $3000 recently, the market is processing it, after it's clear that this is the new floor, $5000 is on sight and then $10000... and then nuclear reaction kicks in and you see $100000+

Definitely. There will be a point in time where Bitcoin will definitely reach the 10,000 USD price mark. But despite of the acceptance and legalization of some countries, we still need more acceptance if we want to cross the target price. And with the fast growth it will not be very long now and we will see Bitcoin to reach the price of 10,000 USD per Bitcoin.

$10,000 per BTC by August 1, 2018

India did already declared that bitcoin is legal to them and that's a very good news for the crypto market. Considering the next big country to adopt bitcoin is Australia and for sure there will be a lot of people that is going to like this adoption. Since Australia is one of the richest country in the world and Australians aren't that poor.

As for Australia, you are really right, I happen to be amazed at this, I remember how this country developed and who were the first settlers.

No doubt that this country will contribute a massive adoption to bitcoin and will be supporting it's citizens to use bitcoin. And if that happen, those FUD that are being reported and had read by their people will be gone. As the government says they are good to go with bitcoin, bigger demand is going to come for sure.

The more countries receiving bitcoin will make bitcoin progressively better. We can see some time ago, when there is a country that started to say will use bitcoin then at the same time the news to make bitcoin price increases. The increase could be up to hundreds of percent.

Yes those countries surely has the edge in helping bitcoin when it comes to the pumping of it's price. But even before there are silent bitcoin people who are already making transactions worldwide and that is making the demand of bitcoin higher. To be realistic I don't have an idea on when it's going to happen.

It will not pump that fast at August 1. It will not just change the price automatically on that day reaching $10000 per coin. It will be changing from time to time, and it is so impossible to hit on $10000. It is still so early to reach that price, even with a lot of users, investors and supporters that is not possible. I think it need more tine before reaching that price.

10,000$ in August is a little bit fast maybe 5000$ by the end of the year. And that's already quite optimistic. But I have no doubts that bitcoin will 10,000$ eventually it's just a matter of time.

I do not know what was your first exceptation when you say "sooner than we thought" but for me, 10 000$ per bitcoin is achievable in five to eight years. That is still a 4x multiplier, so it will take time.

It seems to me that this will not happen soon. Now the price is highly variable. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We need to be optimistic and believe in the bright future of bitcoin.

10 is going to happen but the question is will it be before the next halving

I agree that 10,000 price mark will not happen very soon, but we can surely see it but it would take many years too see it, and yes we might be seeing many countries are really adapting bitcoin and legalizing it, but we are still in a verge of waiting because it would really take a lot of transaction and income for a country to profit from bitcoin, and like you said let's just hold on to bitcoin and be patient in waiting for the bright future that is ahead of us.

I think so but it is not going to happen very soon, in my expectation it would many years before we see its price hitting and passing on the $10,000 value unless there would be a massive change within 3 years from now . More countries are legalizing bitcoin but it doesn't have a huge impact which is enough to make its price go to the said value within a short time period . Just my opinion .

Legalization of bitcoin might bring new buyers/investors which is always good for bitcoin economy, but your every bitcoin related transactions will be monitored so you will not have full financial freedom and privacy on using bitcoin like you think you will have.

You are right, future is not predictable but overall trend looks quite promising for bitcoin. I am actually expecting $5000 by end of this year and more than $10k by next halving in 2020.

It is possible to achieve the $10,000 per Bitcoin but the question in when. Yes, it is possible. Considering the major acceptance in some different countries out there and the continuous growth of Bitcoin in number of users and in demand. At some point in time, we will get there. The only way forward is up 8)

I'm happy to expect such a price on Bitcoin. $ 10,000 is a serious application for the future.

I am quite sure that you fit in the category of people that constantly change their view on how they look at the market.

If the price has gone up significantly (which has been the case), you'll be expecting even higher increases. But as soon as the price is tanking, you'll turn into a bear directly.

It's something I have been noticing on a large scale. I remember a statement in the way that people here are equally as volatile as the market is ~ I can't agree more.

The fact is that people are people and everyone will act at their discretion depending on what price is already on the market today. If a person does not believe in what may be tomorrow, he can sell everything today. And the fact that everyone is already giving 10,000 dollars for bitkoyn is quite realistic, but who can wait?

I think this year will be of price consolidation and the year 2019 and 2020 will be of great increases as we witnessed these months

this is exactly what we need more countries making bitcoin a legal currency which will cause a chain reaction and more people will want to invest in bitcoin with nothing to worry about....
I believe the activation of segwit2x should also contribute to prices going to the moon in no time maybe $10,000 will come next yr

Anything is possible with bitcoins and may be we will be seeing this price in this year itself as many more countries are getting into bitcoins now and if that happens then we can expect much higher price of bitcoins and by next year we will be seeing the price of $10k.

Very possible but I doubt it will be this year or next. If it wasn't for Ethereum I'd believe Bitcoin would hit $10,000 next year. Ethereum will take alot of Bitcoin market share, who knows, another new revolutionary Altcoin may be out to do more damage.

Yes ETH is moving like crazy and nobody expected that it will go so high in recent times but expecting $10k from bitcoins is too high as I don't think we will see that price in next few months or years and we need good patience to hold our coins till it reaches to that value.

Eth is much more unstable than bitcoin, and it is a much worse monetary system with worse initial distribution don't forget that Ethereum was an ICO too.
What is happening now is fact that people are overestimating Ethereum's potential and features, smart contract and daps are great, but are not everything.
Recently even Vitalik Buterin said that he is not certain that ETH will survive in the long run.

Ethereum used for trading and funded projects, never heard about ethereum legalized or being used as a currency to buy daily needs.
Bitcoin has been spread widely and used for various purposes, nonetheless, bitcoin problems about unconfirmed transactions and high fees become obstacles for bitcoin development. After this problems resolved, I believe bitcoin could reach $10,000 in 2-3 years later.

The price now sounds way more possible then 2 years ago. However I think we will to wait a couple of years. Minimum 3 years. Because with the halving in 2020 I think the price can get a really good boost and we may see it reach 10k.

I promise you if by the next month people avoid facking up the block chain and everything goes as planned, by the next halving or even before that price hits some where near $7500.
Now you could ask this, are you telling me if I simply buy some Bitcoins and just hold them for 2-3 more years I can get 3 times of my initial investment back just like that?
And I'd tell you that is correct, if it is hard to swallow then you should go and check the charts of price for 3 years ago and then compare them with the charts for 3 years before that, and stop whenever you see a price like $0.01 and just compare them all up to this day. your mind will explode.

No, it is not correct. You are talking about a SURE x3 in 2-3 years, while it is much more probable a POSSIBLE-BUT-NOT-SURE-AT-ALL x10 in that same period (or for next halving) with a certain risk (I hope minimal) that it just go down from current price or even crashes to almost zero.

It looks, similar, but it is way different. Main difference? If it was a SURE thing I would invest ALL I have into it. Everyone would do. Which btw, would make it much more than x3. But it isn't, it's far from a sure thing.

Also you are referring to past historic prices.... If you do so we would be talking of orders of magnitude higher increase in price.

Bitcoin -cryptocurrencies in general- is a VERY HIGH RISK investment. As such, the ROI can also be astronomical as it has happened until now.

It can happen in 2018 or it can happen in 2020. Anyway, I believe that the five digit mark is just a formality now. The user base is increasing despite of all the issues with confirmations and block size. And as the number of users rise, so does the exchange rates.

Bitcoin's price will definitely reach as high as $10K that is clear for me as the day light and I have no doubt about it, but when exactly? I don't think anyone knows the real answer. It could be 10 month from now or 10 long years, I believe bitcoin has that potential already in it's core even though some altcoins might steal away a percentage of user base and market cap but bitcoin will remain in top 5 crypto currencies of all times forever.
If somehow price starts to pump higher than $5000 in 2017 I'd say that would be an obvious pump, fake pump and not safe for anyone to buy that.

If that happens, it may take a long time, because maybe this year's target is $ 3000, and it would be better if more. Even to reach $ 5000 price is still a bit difficult to happen.

I think as well that we will hit the 10K level at some point.
For the near future I assume that we will stay at about the level we have right now.
And for long term, I suppose that it can happen to hit the range of 10K the last few months before the next halving.

This year the bitcoin will be aiming for the new ATH. I can say over $3000 but too manu resistance before the price of bitcoin will touch the new ATH. We will be facing the august. And looks something big has waited for us. $10000 looks big value for bitcoin in 2020.

Of course it'll raise bitcoin's price but after a few weeks

The reality is that nobody knows until we get to that time in the future what the price will be. Yes it's possible, I believe even more.

To reach $10000 also still needed a long time and I really do not think if the bitcoin price will reach $50000 and if it happens, it is something very amazing achievement. But, there is a possibility after segwit2x active a prices of bitcoin  will continue to increase.

SegWit will not magically make more money flow into Bitcoin and the crypto-currencies ::)... It will maybe make us climb a 100$ mark, but that's all.

Maybe not this year, but it is possible. If the fee and slow Tx confirmation times is sorted, I see no reason why the price wont surge past $10,000 in a few years.

Yeah nobody knows for sure about bitcoin price after segwit. But I'm sure the application of a segwit on bitcoin will have a positive impact on bitcoin in terms of security, faster transactions etc, and I'm sure after segwit a prices of bitcoin will continue to increase, because I've read in an article that says bitcoin prices will reach $4000 . I also do not know if this is hoax or not, but we just wait.

Bitcoin will achieve more than $10k  after years that will passed. We might see 10k in price of bitcoin after 2 years.  And another 5 years were now at 20k. $100k would be the last price of bitcoin i guess.

In the last 6 months bitcoin has doubled in its value, bitcoin rose from $968 at the end of December last year and now it’s being traded around $2,500. Now estimation about when bitcoin will reach $10,000 is very easy to do from here.

This will at most take 3-4 years, if we comparing to all the other online currencies or even regulated currencies bitcoin is obviously doing better than all of them. People who are holding because they don’t need to spend the coins are going to become millionaires in coming years.

It will reach 50k $ but to see price that much high we have to wait for several years though bitcoin become popular or accepted day by day but Still it will take atleast 8 10 years.

Hope you have heard about the situation we are going through as we will be having a upgrade in network in the next few months and if everything goes according to plan then we might have a faster network and i do think it will change and will have a rally before December,just hoping for the best,but i do not expect ten thousand dollar any time soon.

Keep exploding, I need the moneyzzzz.. so I can pay off my nursing school eventually...and college loan..

I just want this shit show to be over already, so hold your coins until august is over.

So do not worry, Let them all worry and panic, maybe the price will drop. I will have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in general in order to later have them fuck well. That's how you can make a lot of money.

Op you are getting a little bit ahead of the game, lets first get to a stable 3k before we try to make it to 10k, it is just a matter of common sense, I think we are going to reach an stable price over 3k after segwit gets activated, and then in the next halving we are going to get a stable 5k so to me the 10k mark is very far away.

Let them cry I think august first will be profit for investors in both ways if decrease or increase both .if price increased will get actual profit or if price goes down will get Chauncey to get invest more for bitcoin.

I think no matter how the situation is resolved on August 1, the bitcoin price will not be in the next few months (or even years) at the level of $ 10,000. This is a very high cost for bitcoin now

I really do not dare to think of it when it does not go through August 1. This change will affect the price of Bitcoin and we can not say that btc prices will go up or down. The $ 10,000 figure is unpredictable.But that's the dream number of so many people and me. If this happens, it's great, but it's sure to be long after.

Everything is possible but the point is, when will Bitcoin price reach 10000$? Some one can not wait until that day so they keep spending Bitcoin instead of saving them now :)

Yes I agree, there is nothing that can guarantee bitcoin will continue to rise, so when I feel profitable then I immediately sell. Several times the bitcoin price reaches $ 2900 but it's hard to reach $ 3000, the $ 10,000 price may take another 2 years or more.

Or maybe this price will never be achieved at all. Bitcoin this year has already experienced a good splash. And I do not know what should happen if the price continues to grow actively and reached thousands of dollars

Still no clarity on the situation in India. It is not clear whether the government is going to legalize it or not. Already, many of the officials have said that Bitcoin is having a negative influence in the form of tax evasion and use in ransom demands. They may or may not legalize BTC. But even if they legalize BTC, the tax is going to be very heavy.

Looking at the current situation, it's still very long to reach $ 10,000. Although that is not impossible, but for now, it looks so great price difference that happened. I think it will take years for the bitcoin price to reach $ 10,000.

Bitcoin prices doubled in 2017 so far but as of now market situation is seeming as mixed trend like not finding the trend for further movement. Waiting for segwit activation by August 1st might be the reason.

Regardless of what is going to happen after activation, I believe we can see prices will be rallying toward $10k ranges because everyone want higher prices and the reasons are not significant. Whales will pump and new investors will join. That's all, $10k will be definite possible.

Good luck to the Indian government when trying to enforce that, laws can say whatever they want but that does not mean the laws can be enforced, look at the war on drugs, look at all the money spent, the resources, all the people in jail and drug usage instead of being down is up.

I think, in the end of this year bitcoin will be 4000$.

$4000 price is expect to achieve in this year but I don't think that it will achieve the price of $10000 in this year or next few years as its too high price to expect from bitcoins in quick time and may be in next 10 years we will see that price and not before that for sure.

For me I think 10,000 dollars will happen in the year of 2019 or maybe in the year of  2020. But if many people buy bitcoin for sure it will happen in the next year but we need a lot of of big investors and more supporter to invest to the bitcoin. I think the price of 10k dollars possible price of bitcoin is the maximum but the higher price is better. My other bitcoin hold it for few years and then sell it when the price is like that.

$10000 price doesn't seem to be difficult if the demand of bitcoin reaches to the moon in future and now many countries are showing their interest in bitcoins so if we get big investors in future then nothing can stop bitcoin in achieving that price in coming years.

It is next to impossible to enforce a ban on the ownership of Bitcoins, due to the anonymity of the transactions. But that said, if the government authorities start harassing users who sell their fiat for BTC (or vice versa), then it can create a lot of headache to the Indian crypto-users.

More countries legalizing bitcoins would surely boost the bitcoin price but $10,000 is very high and i think its very hard to reach that price soon.It may take two more years to reach that price.It seems that op is too much optimistic.

That is correct, but those with big holdings of bitcoin can just move to another country and make their trades there, since the laws of the Indian government don’t apply internationally, this is not possible for small holders but it will be possible for those with the economic power to do so.

I think that it will take quite a bit time, 5 or 7 years. Believe me, this is not so much in the world of investing. Few assets can give you such a high percentage of price growth

yes no doubt about that bitcoin has a great potential and it may be trading even above that price. i am sure that at the end of 2017 the price of bitcoin will be trading above 5000$ and will continue increasing.

let us wait and prepare for the things that are going to happen by August 1 and then we can decide what to do with our coin,since the core is looking for the BIP 148 fork there is a possibility that we could see a split.

Bitcoin price will reach 4000$ at the end of 2017.This will achieve only due to increasing in bitcoin users. Many investor inverse their money on bitcoin.If they keep that till the end of the year. They surely became rich too.This happen only due to the factor ,bitcoin price gradually increasing day to day.

The possibility to reach $4000 to reach by the end of the year has got lot of possibilities. I believe this happens just based on the increasing adoption as well on the stabilized growth happening with the bitcoin price growth. One who believe and invest now will surely becomes rich in a short.

I also think that bitcoin can reach a mark of 10,000 dollars not earlier than 2019. Now panic and price will fall, but it will not have time to recover and grow so quickly, because I'm sure after a while will create a new panic to lower the price.

You do not say the exact timeline for Bitcoin to reach $ 10,000. It could be 50 years or 100 years. I do not think Bitcoin will grow so fast, if it grows too fast, it will not be sustainable so I think until you die you will never see Bitcoin's price reach $ 10,000.

If everything goes well and there is not a split of the network and we get segwit activated, I do not see a reason for bitcoin to not reach a price that is even above that, I will probably predict a price close to 5000 dollar for each bitcoin, as long a everything goes right.

I'm just tired of hearing about the split and August 1. It would sooner have happened and stopped worrying many people. I believe that the price of bitcoin will soon increase. As soon as August 1 passes and people return to the bitcoin community again, the price will go up. And maybe will reach 5000 before the end of the year

Each bitcoin costs 10,000. I believe this can happen with the pace of the mayor's growing momentum. And maybe it will be from August 1st. You believe it! Currently, some countries in the world have accepted bitcoin payment as Japan, US, UK...

Mayor's momentum? What does the mayor have to do with this?  ;D
A successful resolution of the scaling problem will provide a boost to Bitcoin, but I am not sure it will reach USD 10K very quickly.

Obiviously yes.Bitcoin price may reach 4000$ at the end of 2017.This will achieve only due to increasing in bitcoin users. Many investor inverse their money on bitcoin.If they keep that till the end of the year. They surely became rich too.This happen only due to the factor ,bitcoin price gradually increasing day to day.

I believe the price depends on which side will prevail, the manipulators who speed FUD or the manipulators who spread Hype.  If the one that spread Hype prevail, I can see a $10,000 bitcoin at the end of the year, else if the one that  spread FUD  prevail then it is possible to see 3 digit bitcoin again.

Yes everything happens based on the user group involved into the spreading activities. Right now splitting is found to be the one that creates a panic among the users, though the blocksize issue as well the transaction fee and the confirmation of transactions get solved.

I think we are all tired of this, but if you are tired, how much tired do you think other members of the community are about this debate that has lasted for years? At least it seems we are about to get a resolution soon, we are only a few weeks away, we need to wait only a bit more, so be patient.

$10,000 per bitcoin is maybe possible by 2020 if more countries and enough business start to use bitcoin. my prediction for another few month bitcoin price will around 1600-3000 and 5000 next year.

That seems realistic to me.

Hmm interesting, as you said 2020 yeah it can be reach to $10,000 till 2020, but in my opinion it will reach soon because as people taking interesting in bitcoin. So that's why bitcoin is playing role of segWit. So we can say that it will boost more than a past and present as bitcoin improving the disadvantages into pros.

I think that price per bitcoin will not be 10000 usd.How I see things that  it will go up to 5000-10000$ this year but not more than 10000$ because that value looks too much for me even if some country say that bitcoin will be legal.

Its possible to reach this price in 2020, but I guess realistically if everything went smooth after Aug 1 then its possible around 2018 we will see the price can touch 10000$. Its still a long way to go before we see the price touches it but want I like is that there are a lot of people here are very optimistic about the price of bitcoin in the future. And I hope those prediction will come to reality. But now, we need to past the hurdles of a looming split, if there is.

For now lets just remain to a conclusion of no possibility as price of btc slowly declines for a certain reasons. Due to the negative speculations behind, bitcoin is really struggling for that price of $10000 to be reach. So the better idea to do is to save your bitcoins now and start buying again when there is signs of price increase in the market soon.

Yes bitcoin prices may only be in the range 2500USD up to 3500USD at the end of the year. See the current movement of course 10.000USD is too high. For me bitcoin will be able to have a stable price when many countries are already starting to adopt bitcoin legally.

As I can see the bitcoin price movement it may range at that price 3500$ end of this year. Though actually we will never know what happen after the segwit. But hoping bitcoin price wil range at that price because other countries accepted bitcoin legally and more hope soon. If this happen more demand will take place.

Bitcoin have had reached 5k which was the half way mark.

We're now back down to 4,065 USD as part of the correction.

The question is where do you see the bottom? And when do you see going up again  ???

Bitcoin will reach that but just not now even wall street believes in bitcoin that means something if it is going down right now it does not matter because what goes down goes up also. Bitcoin will go up that is what it always has done.

Depends the price of Bitcoin and number of transactions on network, if Bitcoin blockchain network receives a huge number of transactions in same time, it still congestion transactions with high fees, 2MB blocksize really not useful with amount of users Bitcoin now.

$10000 per bitcoin is feasible since bitcoin's price is now increasing. We could see that price before this year end. And regarding on its legalization, if bitcoin become legal in big countries it will be helpful to increase the bitcoin's value.

The bottom is unknown it could go from $4k to $100 dollars but we all known that is not going to happen it will go high in 2017 i don't think it wont go lower than this because

$4k is still high but $10k seems a reasonable price for me.

I also hope that bitcoin goes to $10k and it will be more amazing if this happens before the end of this year. The previous rallies also resulted in dumps which is the case right now, but once this dump is over then new rally will start and it maybe can lead to $10k per bitcoin.

it seems impossible to see the 10K $ price of bitcoin by the end of this year, as it sees the current price increase looking at the possibility that the range of prices ranges from  5K $ to  7K $ .

The countries have not yet decided that whether they would either decide to make bitcoin legal or declare it illegal, this can go both ways, if bitcoin is legalized then the price will rise and if not then the price will fall.

the current price is so far from the $ 10000 price, but that's not impossible. even bitcoin can reach a price of $ 4000 less than 10 years. perhaps in a few years, bitcoin prices could reach that price, and shake the world for such a high price.

Since it is long way to reach the 10k USD price, you can find the bitcoin in the 10k with in 2 years according to my view. Since china's effect bitcoin price dumped little buddy, with in some months you will again see the bitcoin potential growth in upcoming months.  You can utilize the situation and buy the bitcoins as much you can.

I am quite confident in the market to reach the $10,000 level before the block halving kicks in, but if we look at where we stand right now, and then look at the $10,000 level, it's more a milestone and psychological type of achievement. In reality it's just a 150% increase that we need to reach such levels, and these type of gains in the crypto world aren't that impressive. I add more value to seeing more countries legalizing Bitcoin, because at the end of the day, this is a very important step towards getting institutions to enter the market. As soon as these institutions enter this market, we will see price levels that at current point people can only dream of.

Looking the growth happening with accordance to time, reaching $10000 doesn't seem to be a big factor. Already in a very short time period the growth of bitcoin is tremendous reaching close to $5000. So, in the upcoming years we'll be reaching $10000 at the earliest possible.

I would not think that something could be impossible. If we trace the growth trend of the crypto currency in the last year, we can see that, for example, Bitcoin last year, at the same time, had a price of about 600 or 700 dollars. Now you can automatically calculate that it has grown almost 8 times. I think this is a good trend and we will be able to see 10,000 dollars in the near future.

I think 10k dollars will happen in the year o 2019 or maybe 2020. Because as of now the price of bitcoin is 4000 dollars plus and it decreased last week . But for sure it will recover again after few weeks. But iy depends on the demand on the market if theres many buyers for sure it will increase but if they have many sellers for sure it will decrease but I hope the price will high so we ca make alot of profit.

It is not impossible that bitcoin will rise until $10,000. There is no impossible but maybe it will take a long long time before bitcoin will achieve it. Maybe it will take 20-30years from now. But it is still good to invest bitcoin right now as long as we have bitcoin try to save it.

Yes, this is the price that will happen soon, I'm sure before 2017 bitcoin price will reach $ 10,000. so I suggest to continue to buy bitcoin because we immediately get a big profit.
