Bitcoin Forum

Cast your vote people and share with us what you think. We are a community and this way we would know what the majority is thinking.

if i had option, i would choose the price as of this reply is posted on. price of bitcoin is not really affected if too many (insufficient) people know this matter, unless those minority holds majority of bitcoin to make that price drop happen. if it would be true, i would go with 1400.

Voted 1500$. I think things will go a bit like when Litecoin locked in SegWit. Price will probably decrease. BTW, this is more Speculation than Bitcoin Discussion..

I voted bitcoin's price will be around $2000 by August 1st, because bitcoin's price is stable right now, there is chance will be going up again, many people has invested into bitcoins with large of money. They will not burn their money with sell all of bitcoins with cheap however on August 1st is the activation segwit2x, that is try fixing of bitcoin's blockchain and not something bad for bitcoins.

I voted for the $2000 price! but I don't have a clue on what's gonna happen with the bitcoin price, I just vote for the $2000 price value because I really want bitcoin to stay at that price and don't drop at all but we can really never know the outcome of the price on the said date right, but I really want the price to stay the same.

I think there's no way price will hold at 2000 during and after August 1. The sheer level of fudding and panic will probably bring price down below that, and with some planning to move to other chains if Bip148 fails it's just going to be a clusterfuck during August and price will likely bounce around a lot. Personally waiting for this to blow over but it seems time just moves more slowly in response to my patience.

around 2000$ looks like the most probable outcome
I think it will be on the up side,maybe 2100-2200$,unless we experience another vertical dive
but there is a chance for the price to drop substantially,in case major holders start selling right before the 1st of August

1500 USD (and 6400 USD in september).

1800 by August 1st, 3000 by September 1st, 5500 by the end of the year.

this POLL is invalid because it doesn't have all the possible options to vote.
options such as $2200, $2100, and option such as no more drop.
it doesn't matter if YOU think they are impossible, you must include them nonetheless. i won't vote on this because of this fact and stop posting the link to this in other topics.

You have given the limited options, but i think the price of bitcoin will be around $2000, and after august at the same time those bitcoin users are using the segwit and feeling convenient with it. No doubt if the price of bitcoin will touch the new ATH at the end of this year. $2000 should be a reasonable decimal for it.

I vote bitcoin price is 2000 USD. I'm not sure that bitcoin will have that price. I just hope the price of bitcoin will increase again

i'd voted for $1500 price of bitcoin but it will increase again by the day come maybe december or by the end of the month no one can really predict for what bitcoin really become. Unless there are some holders who will actually sell all their coins for the money for some personal use.

Above 2500$ to the moon. The effect of segwit are happening in advance  and i think buy will happened next week until segwit activation. Keep calm and hodl.

Above $2,500, I think we will see it rising a lot, even closer to $3,000 with all the hype that will come as we get closer and then we'll just have to see what happens.

Voted around $1500, I think Bitcoin will breakdown to this price because bad news testing from SegWit2x and panic selling will happening, if have choice $1200, I will choose it

$2250 and $2200 is not broken then we can expect prices to come up again to the levels $2700
if $2200 breaks then we can see $1900 /$1850

Maybe 1500-1000$

For me, I voted for $1,500 thereabouts with the intention that it will move upward to $5,000 before end of December 2017. My reason for the vote is that I want to invest money or buy bitcoin at the cheaper price and sell high to enable me host my guests by next year God's will.

I have voted for above $2500 price of Bitcoin as i think as now the price will drop and the real traders will start to buy and in the end of this month we will see the price going back above $2500 price before August 1st

It's quite difficult to choose since literally everything is possible. If I am forcing myself to choose, I will go for the sub $2000 option as I believe that certain whales will make use of people's fear regarding a fork, and thus attempt to crash the price down. More precisely -- I will go for the [around $1500] option. I am prepared for this situation by having a decent chunk of fiat sitting in my exchange account right now.

the results of august 1 still not determined yet so most people will have different option with different thought and me as bitcoin users expect the best results after surpassing that date and my vote is above $2,500 going to the moon and in the end of year maybe bitcoin will throughout $3500

This is THE great upcoming mystery. There are so many variables. Regardless of whether the outcome is positive, traders are going to play scare tactics so I vote for $1000-1500 ish.

It would be an extremely funny outcome that while a lot people here think the price will go down significantly, the price goes the opposite direction by a huge margin.

People having sold their coins to enlarge their fiat positions will have to suck it up and accept their defeat, where others will buy back their coins at higher levels.

It's impossible to completely read out all the potential scenarios, which is why I went for around $2000 to be more or less on the safe side.

if the price even after so much uncertainty and panic condition trading so much stable then how can the price will decrease, i think it will continue increasing and will trading above 3000$ even before 1st August. i am sure that 1st August will no such bad effect on bitcoin price.

I would love to see Bitcoin go above 2,500 before August 1st, or even after August 1

As of now, there are more of us voting for 2500 to the moon

 ;D

I think the latter mentioned scenario will be the likely outcome, as no one wants to be left behind at the time the price starts rushing up. I must however note that I do understand why people want to liquidate a part of their Bitcoin holdings. It's all about lowering their overall risk exposure. If you look at the sentiment of people here regarding the 1st of August, some sort of a reverse hype (negative meaning) has been created. People just assume that the markets will tank big time, while there is no hard proof or anything to back it up, it's all speculation. I honestly believe that the chances for the price to go down, are more or less equal to the chances for the price to go up. In that regard, I do expect large price swings between the $2000-$3000 level, until its clear how we have done in terms of the activation of Segwit.

I vote $ 1,800. I'm sure before August 1st the price will continue to fall and will probably drop to $ 1,800 even more. And I think the peak is on August 1st. But after a few months if all this works out I'm sure the price will go far above $ 3,000. Most importantly we remain calm and do not panic selling. We must remain confident if bitcoin will continue growing and profitable.

from the options you provided in this poll i could only see the last one happening ($2500 and then moon) although it is not the best in general.
because first i believe we can get SegWit by that date finally and that can cause a rise. and also on top of that if you think about this date, it is the risk of a split and ending up with 2 coins on 2 markets and even if price falls on both chains it still means twice the profit on shorting and that can be the incentive to buy more coins as we get closer to that date and cause a rise in price.
and then by the date we either will get SegWit and price goes up or BIP148 fails as many predict and price rises since the risk of chain split is no more!

I can say generally that price will not go back to below $1,000. And it's obvious that we can expect a price crash during that time.

That's why I never worried to those on going circulation about bitcoin price crash as I have some reasons to believe that it will increase again. We are talking about long term here and soon the price will recover and will get back again to shine the stage.

Im excited instead rather than being worried.

Above $2,500 going to the moon is gaining its lead now. Cast your votes people and lets see

it is gaining lead,while the price is getting lower and lower the closer we are to the 1st of August
probably the ones voting 2500+ are the ones who HODL  ;D
there is no reason for it to go to the moon,realistically,BUT it is higly likely if the fork goes ok and we have an economically dominating coin
this could get the price skyrocketing,but definitely not before the split

take note that July 21 will be the date for the code insertion and after that date then most likely we will know the update of probability of success

Will not be this price. I'm sure that the price will decline. Now generally the best option is to stand and do nothing. If someone has spare money you can buy coins when the price is below $ 2000. A reboot is a good time for speculation.

It will be in the range 2100 - 2350, then Will fall 10/20% and then up again till the end of the year, when mass will kick in

Posted From bitcointalk.org Android App

those who HODL usually don't even care about the price on August 1 despite being concerned about the result. they care about price on August 1s of 2030 and above.

and those who vote $2500 are probably doing it because a split is unlikely which means the chances of a rise becomes higher if that date comes and goes without a split happening. there probably will be a sharp rise with a long green candle on the chart because of FOMO

I think the price will stay around 2K, a big psychological level...

But there might be a "flash crash" lower maybe even to 1500-1600 but it will recover as fast as it went down

I voted for the price of 1800. It seems to me that the panic will reach a high level and this will negatively affect the price of bitcoin. But, I'm waiting for this moment to buy even more coins

I completely agree with you, it will be a very correct tactic for many users of crypto-currencies. This will be one of the chances when we will be able to lose our coins and have not suffered much.

That is quite possible but looking at the mode of the market right now many buyers are waiting for what can happen on and after August 1. Normally, if there would be a significant dip of Bitcoin value there would be group of buyers who can snap back Bitcoin and the price can slowly go up again. But this time this is not happening that is the decline is getting to be steady and we still have around 15 days before anything can be activated on Bitcoin.

People are looking at these facts and reality so they decided to convert their Bitcoin into altcoins or fiat money which in turn feed the frenzy for the continual drop of Bitcoin price over all exchanges.

I voted "around 1000", because the question was "how low" and 900 would be the floor of bitcoin prime after august 1st. And probably 5-10s for bitcoin fork(s).

I think it would go down as low as $1500. The price now is slowly decreasing from $2600 down to $2100 and this made some to be afraid and go panic selling. But just looking from the history of bitcoin this downfall will gets recover after a month or more but one thing is sure that bitcoin will go to the moon before this year ends.

so,now that we are below 2000$ and the price is going down everyday
where are all tothemooners? :)
it is going to drop even more,but come 1st of August we never know what happens
my hope it will recover and ,eventually prove all of the experts right-
the ones that had been predicting 10.000+ figures

I'm still very bullish...it's a normal correction fueled a bit by uncertainty and fear...but once BTC passes the 1st august and there is no "end of the world" it will resume it's path and will reach new highs

soon we will know the outcome ;)

Of course, no "end of the world". But what if too much of common investors will be gone for a long time..

I don't think so....

1st they must be confused now and want to protect their investment...once it's done they will be back
2nd after "no end of the world" happeneds it would give even more credibility to bitcoin and the investors will be back in bigger numbers
3rd after the 1st, people will want to re-buy their BTC which will create demand and
4rth after the 1st, no one will be selling on the short term; expecting new highs

this should create a huge upside momentum and movement..

will see....I'm holding and getting more....

oh and I forgot.....all this fork "publicity" is still a publicity for BTC and opens it to new people who had never heard of it before....
good or bad doesn't matter as long as they talk about it and in the long term they will learn the good about it...specially if the outcome is positive and BTC came out unaffected..this will prove the naysayers wrong....

investors are playing long term
it is common folks or small holders who are panicking and selling
today we saw a low of 1810$ at one point!
the price has recovered some,but to be losing almost 200$ every day for several days.... anyone could panic
but this is when you have to decide:you either hold and wait or try to sell and short it,or even to stay in LTC or Dash or ETH for the time being
as I had mentioned,I sold and was right,I could have rebought at 1820 ish if I wanted to

Why did you mention alts like LTC or Dash or ETH? They always crashed with BTC and i don't think it will change for some months or years

I am expecting prices to stay above $2700 by August 1st as there will be plenty of chance for all investors to realize the benefits of having fork. In no way it will be hurting to entire bitcoin ecosystem from a common man's view like forking is just another enhancement to have better system why we need to get panic.

If we are all believing after August 1st prices will be skyrocketing then before August 1st itself prices may get ready for another rally. There will be enough believers and investors to keep prices above $1800 hence hope for better to happen.

I really hope that it would only be down to $1,500 by August 1,
And really wish that it would recover real quick and fly high again .

Yeah it will definitely recover its price after the 1st of August.
Those who don’t have a sight and business sense they will be getting panic at the moment but my advice to all bitcoin users is to hold your bitcoin in an offline wallet and everything will be ok. There are still people who are buying bitcoin on a low price and availing this opportunity.

I have a better idea -- only for you, we'll let the price fall back to sub $100 levels, so you can buy as many coins as possible, and then we'll lift the price back up to todays levels. Are you ok with that? Damn, people here only think about the few bucks that they are making, while in reality the activation of SegWit is the most important thing to focus on. If you want to make some money, then stop talking and put your money to work right now.

Funny friend, that you have mentioned that bitcoin is crashed, you might don't have a proper knowledge about crypto currencies therefore you are saying that. Bitcoin is just implementing there cros therefore the market of bitcoin is going down, but in one hand it is giving opportunity to people to invest. Because after segWit2x it will bounce back.

People will see segwit activated and no chance of any real fork happening and the price will go to a new all time high.

Most of the people have their vote that at 1st august the price of bitcoin will at $2500 and will continue to grow. I am also of the opinion that it will happen when the segwit happen then people will start again to get bitcoins and exact on that same day the price will jump higher for to reach to more than $3000.

My opinion is same.As many has eager to know the price increase of bitcoin after August 1.It may reach 3000$ or more than that.If you want to brought bitcoin means brought now .Because you will get very huge profit after August 1.No doubts in that.

Haha, the market usually like doing the opposite the hope from trader in market. More hope will helps easy create scared for people holding Bitcoin. I has been take profit and with me, the price at now is good price can buy 10-20% with my funds

Maybe your guess right, some news about HardFork in present are fake and they want can buy a huge number Bitcoin with cheap price. Although, hear arguments from Bitmain about HardFork and split Bitcoin to Bitcoin ABC are good and persuasive, but this happens can make the price of Bitcoin will falldown

No doubt the big investors are here for a long term and they take benefits from it. It seems that the short term or the small investors get panic easy and this is natural because they have small investments and no one will like to let their investment drown.
Those with strong nerves will be the successful ones here. There are many reasons for the bitcoin to recover and show to the people that it is the strongest, we just need to stay calm.

I agree on all things you said. But im on panic right now so no one can blame me. Im on panic to buy more bitcoin as i can for price is going strong right now. I might missed the opportunity. I need to generate more funds so i can invest on bitcoin. Hold it and we will be at $55,000 level soon.

today it is 2040$,recovered 200$ from yesterday
I suggest you watch the dates here closely:  https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/countdown-segwit-these-are-dates-keep-eye/
those could be some up and down price movement reasons
usually,node signalling doesn't affect regular users,but the news could affect the price
in general-nothing can be taken for granted until we pass the turbulent waters of the possible split
if you are in for the longterm,simply make sure you hold your coins in a wallet where you control private keys,that is all

2700+ before Aug 1st. Then we're going to get a lot new forum posts with the title "Why is Bitcoin close to all time high with all this uncertainty on Aug 1st, should I buy now (fomo)?"

Yes bitcoin was recovered their price, I suggest to hold for the mean time the bitcoin because seems that there's big change after segwit. Moreover, don't worry on bitcoin because we know that bitcoin can stand alone without segwit.

August 1st is the moment of truth so it is possible that the price is very much low at that time. I voted for around $1500. It is low but very decent price considering the fuss and fears circling the community. Bitcoin goes under 1900 USD lately and going around 1500 USD is not impossible at all considering that the tension is still building up. All will depend on the upcoming news about a possible hard fork.

I just think and expect bitcoin prices will keep its value at $2000 until the end of this month even on the 1st of August and so on will continue to increase. I personally think that although bitcoin prices are very unstable and whenever can happen a big dump, but for now and in the future I do not think the bitcoin price will fall anymore to less than $1000.

Perfect to predict that price will just go stable on 2000$ price and i really mean that this one will be the decent price after that series of split event will be happen since I believe those investors are pretty much bag hold and surely grab some btc for the cheap price for those past days. And The one I am think later of the days on august that the price will surely pump hard again.

if segwit succes bitcoin price can increase reach over 3000 dollar
if crash and not succes bitcoin price can down to 1000 - 1200 dollar/bitcoin

Ya you are correct. Based on Segwit the price of altcoin surely vary.But for bitcoin, we won't worry about that Segwit.You can see the price of bitcoin after August 1.It will increase more then what you expect. So it's the right time to buy huge amount of bitcoin. You have to wait till August second week and sell that.You may be a millionaire or billionaire.

It seems that the $2500 going to the moon will be the bitcoin price by August 1. Right now its getting strong at high of $2200. The support for the segwit is now growing. Currently at 55.6% right now. 4 hours ago is just at 45%. So maybe by end of this day it will be at range of 60-70%.

Buying will pick up shortly after that so better to position as early as now.

More people who voted are positive about BitCoin.

Personally, I believe BitCoin price will only get higher after August 1.

So right now while the price is low, it's better to accumulate more BitCoin as much as a buyer is able to buy.

Any new votes? August 1 is nearing.

I'm not sure if there are new votes.
One thing for sure, BitCoin price is better now.
I believe it will be higher after August 1st.
Even if there will be a possible split of BTC into BTC/BCC, the price will go high.
Of course it will have lows.
But you see, its history tells us that it will always go higher after it went down.

Have more implications after August 1st in your tell, one day, one week, one month or even one year =)). So, can't predict 100% the price of Bitcoin after August 1st, just can ready with any situation after that time and keep our calm.

Price will stay well above $2500 before network split and it can easily go above $3000 when people will start to dump free BCC they will get during HF. I am expecting over $4000 within next few months because support for segwit is huge compared to support for BCC.

I think you are still in your dream, bitcoin will not go down to that price anytime soon and segwit has been tested for more than a month before actual activation date so don't expect any crash during segwit activation.

Buy whatever you can below $3000, you will not get bitcoin this much cheap later on after segwit.

That's for sure mate, and if price will remain with that value it would be a great opportunity to let those new investors to grow their capital as it will become more profitable if price value in the marketplace will certainly be sustainable to all who wanted good profit and sustainable income for aside from main career of job. Hopefully when we hit this time people wil not be dumping all assets so that price will not drop to a certain level which make's others wo were newbie in trading to have anxiety attacks due to price massive fluctuations.

You got the point but i give a correction the segwit was tested not more than a month just few weeks ago that there are miners are beginning to test segwit and its running normally that i think the price will never be affected about this segwit activation instead the price will be more increase because i think the speed and the transaction fee will be back to normal just like before and we will pay less fee with fast transaction.
Developers are doing great they are just added a short code just to improve bitcoin..
So i vote to above $2500 that i think before august 1 the price will increase more.

Around $2000 this could be the best one hopefully that bitcoin will not fall that rapidly and because of this happening maybe bitcoin will be getting more stronger but i don't believed that bitcoin will be down for good but if the segwit will be successful bitcoin price will probably boost into the other prediction of $3500 dollars per coins.

Very true indeed. BitCoin price will only increase after August One. But even if the price of BitCoin Cash also increase, the price of BitCoin will be getting better. So the future of BitCoin is looking good no matter what other people are afraid of. As The testing of segwit didn't create troubles, and So right now everything is positive for bitCoin.
And I must say it's no wonder why right now, the price of bitCoin is on the green. 8)

By tomorrow bitcoin price will be at $2900 level and it will continue to rise, for the split to BCC only add up some value to bitcoin for it make it shine more brighter.

If it is going like that then it will attract more people because now a days as it going the people are willing bitcoin to be the top currency in the world. So I would say that yes it will be the same because there will be nothing happen. But one thing I'm confused kindly post that with explanation that it would be more helpful because by help we can learn too.

With the respect to my everyday technical analysis and expecting bitcoin will be having prices are around $3000 levels by August 1. Because 100 days moving average is in upper side and we can expect positive rally in next two days.

Here we need to concern about what is going to happen after Aug 1, I am expecting a slight dump before we will be seeing another greater rally toward $4000 and then $5000 levels. I am expecting prices to test $4000 levels by end of this aug as part of its long term target of $10,000 levels by end of this year.

I always think positively about bitcoin, it seems that on the 1st -7th there will be a price drop but not much after a week of that bitcoin price will rise again over 2900 $
That's according to my prediction, all because there is hard fork effect only

That's great that you are thinking positive about bitcoin. Because it is the first stage in bitcoin to stay positive with bitcoin if people are going negative then they will lose their coins so by that they will blame bitcoin. So I agreed with you to be honest to give passage of time to bitcoin and stay positive because it can teach us to know different methods where we can learn from mistakes.
I am also sure that after 1st August if everything will be ok then exact on that day the price will start to rise more.

How does a hard fork impact the price after it happens,if the price would have gone done,it would have being already and with the way bitcoin is holding up,i do not see much of a downward rally after the fork,unless some big earlier miners plan on dumping bitcoin for BCC,i really hope that wont happen,just a day more for the big day.

I don't see that happening. Dumping BTC for BCC is hugely speculative and is more to do with making a statement. I don't see any of the long term holders doing this. They will adopt a wait and watch stance, to see where the market settles down.

I think the winner is obvious now. The $2500 to the moon is almost the winner.

Bitcoin really is doing well and it will keep on rising.

Thanks to all of us.

Why do you think the price will drop? Because miners will probably stop for some time and will need to be upgraded? Or are you saying this based on experience of litecoin that went up before segwit and down after it? Maybe people will try selling what they bought a few days ago but I think the profit is too small here, so they will probably not do that. I think bitcoin will just go hugely up.

Today is the 31st of July 2017 and the price currently is $2800. It will smash the $3000 barrier this week.

Stating the obvious there , after all the panic sales a few days ago, it seems to be going from strength to strength. Hopefully everything go well and by the end of the week we will be discussing 3/4k usd per bitcoin.

Dumping btc for bcc? hardly. There's just like a few exchanges that are offering bcc, right? I've seen kraken creating soem interesting market for btc-bcc trading.

Well, BCH is top 3 in coinmarketcap right now.
The price is more than double that of ETH.
So it must be good as we get BCH initially free from the equal amount of BTC we hold last August 1st.
And now we see that both BTC and BCH prices are very good.

Entertaining companion, that you have said that bitcoin is smashed, you may don't have a legitimate information about digital currencies thusly you are stating that. Bitcoin is simply actualizing there cros accordingly the market of bitcoin is going down, however in one hand it is offering chance to individuals to contribute. Since now a days bitcoin is going high which is very conceivable to trice your contributed salary.

It's 2019 now and since the start of the year, the sentiment is bullish. I expect Bitcoin to be somewhere $14,000 to $18,000 by August 1, 2019. I am getting ready now.  ;D

Thank you in digging out this old speculation and this is a reminder to those that were saying Bitcoin is dead or Bitcoin will dump to know that Bitcoin started on a very humble price in 2017 and as at August it was just a little above $1500 but because 2017 was a bullish year we see the level bitcoin went to in December 2017. This (2019) Is now another bullish year and bitcoin remain very strong above $11,000. I think we should expect $15_000 to $20,000 in August and we should not be moved by negative speculation at some popular sites because that is what some of them said in 2017 but bitcoin surprised all those doom speculators.

Sometimes its really fascinating to see this kind of thread it's old but nothing has changed. I'm still recalling what had happened earlier than year, Winklevoss ETF was denied in February or March and then April Japan entered the pictured.

Edit: Most probably because of the BCH fork on August and people here that time are speculating on what could be the price.

Anyways, that year was bullish so we might compare it to 2019, Same similarities in patterns, so we just hope that at the end of this year, $20k is possible.
