Bitcoin Forum

Ive been watching the markets sence bitcoin was 150$/BTC, i have been promoting bitcoin and the use of it for a long time, but why should BTC ever rise again? There have been a peak thru overbuying and now somebody has to pay = coin value drop.

Hard fork, soft fork doesnt matter the value wont rise above 2k$ again?
It wasnt meant to?

I have not sold my Coins but i dont believe in 4-10-100 000$ /BTC

Emotions aren`t a good adviser when your are trading.The btc price decreased only with 150 USD and now you are crying in your post about how bitcoin is "dead" and never rise again,bla-bla....
Wait after BIP148 and after Segwit2x and perhaps your predictions might be wrong.
Now everbody is waiting for Aug 1 and Segwit and that`s why the price won`t increase.

As you've said, people are waiting for the network splitting to be cleared out. Most of them are panicking because their money that they invested on bitcoin is disappearing because of the threat of the network split. So they are converting their bitcoins into other altcoins because those altcoins can pump but bitcoin will not.

If you've really been watching Bitcoin market since 150$/BTC you should know that current happening are very similar to what happened in 2013 when BTC reached $1000 and then promptly crashed in value.

Just like you now people were declaring it dead, yet it rose back up and proceeded to reach its current all time high, Progress will never be linear, it will have spikes.

Although I must agree that at some point Bitcoin should stabilize and stop rising in value, I doubt that it will happen any time soon.

Billions of coinmarketcap then eventually will crashed?

It's not making sense to what speculated by those afraid. Hold bitcoin and believe. Surely after all scenes that will happen after August 1st, everything will be setup again to the journey to the moon.

There is no emotions involved, but WHY should it go over 2000 again.
BTC isnt a currency in that matter cause the price changes more like a investment so i dont get the idea to trick People with a 10.000dollar value, have anyone calculated the amount of user needed to invest to reach that number?

You read what i wrote but clearly didnt understand it, i meant only what are the proofs?
Its just speculations taken from where?

Chinese market pros invest 10m$ btc price goes down 4% get it?

Im not declaring it dead but your right in the other thing i think its stabilizing and it could rise but one have to calculate the age of BTC/Users

Right now there are alot of Users but WHY and WHEN should people use a cola for example?
I can see a small Rise or fall, i belive in a small rise but not to 4-10k$

That would mean 3x the users and money today, that wont happen in a year or Three

Dead again, huh?

There was no reason for it to rise this time. It wa carried beyond $1000 by the alt bubble.

The next rise doesn't need a reason but if there were to be one it would be down to scaling being put in place without too much rancour.

In the meantime i advocate suicide for each and every one of you.

Good to see the positive side of you, please keep supporting bitcoin because we need it. From 43 billion market value it has now become 33 billion, a drop of 10 billion which is huge and shocking. Probably many people are withdrawing their investment in bitcoin to save their capital. Specially those who have entered at a later stage.

However, for people like you and me, who has started using bitcoin at early stage, can support bitcoin at least as of now by not withdrawing our holdings. The price is getting corrected and we need to hold and buy at a lower level, so that we can make some good profit. I believe it is the best time to buy more bitcoins.

What is happening now is a normal trend for Bitcoin. An exponential/parabolic rise followed by long-term slow decline.

What you can count on is the price will not fall below the previous peak, or at least not far below it. For the record, that was $1,200... so you can bet Bitcoin will not fall below $1,000 again. With that said, consider selling your BTC at this moment to save any losses from this inevitable drop over the long term. When the price bottoms out, rebuy and you will have far more Bitcoin than you started with.

Price is just little part of bitcoin ecosystem. It can fluctuate with little news, rumor, panic and more. There is nothing to despair at the moment. $2000 isn't any bad for bitcoins in such circumstances when it is about to go through chain split.
Keep supporting bitcoin and we could see it crossing $3-5k once again this year. All we need is unity after chain break.

since bitcoin supply are fixed at 21 million only and currently more than 75% have been mined also there is a lot of new people interested in bitcoin it will drive to a rise value of bitcoin because of the rarity and high demand , that is a basic economics right?

i just use that principle , and until now i have got a decent profit holding bitcoin.

Hope that chain break wont happen. I dont like idea having two different blockchain at all and many think the same. What will this end up after that.
With price still over 2000 this is good hard resistance is on 2000 and dont expect to see it below. For rise dont expect to see it after 1st August maybe weeks or few month after it when result come to sight.

This. The price is going to continue to lower as the bubble is now officially burst and people are panic selling like mad. It will continue lowering all the way to possibly $900, but most likely will not fall below $1,000 again and bottom out around $1,100 or so.

Well I just sold off some of my coins earlier this morning. I expect it to keep on going down though I don't really have an idea how low it could get. I just got in for the profit, really, so I'm not knowledgeable about all this splitting stuff. If it goes really down and I still have trust that it would recover, then I'll probably use the money I've converted when it was still a bit higher to buy more.

Where are you getting those numbers from? Genuine question.

It's going to have to burst through $1800 which I believe to be pretty major resistance.

If so, then it'll get there, but I think it won't be easy.

My prediction is that Bitcoin will continue crashing down to $1,100 and then begin rising again until it is over $10,000. I believe this current crash will bottom out after a year or two.

It will then take a few years (give or take) to slowly build the price up to over $10,000.

Therefore, to answer your question I would give it one or two years until BTC rises back to $3,000 again, for the reasons mentioned above.

Most people are afraid to adopting SEGWIT things but it's normal. The matter only what will happen after 1 Aug , will btc got same respond like a past golden days ?
IMO, bitcoin will reach a new momentum that will lead bitcoin in better way so i'm sure that bitcoin will rise after 1 Aug , more than before...


Glad to see people keep on faith on bitcoin  8)

We are expecting the value of Bitcoin to get into the upswing once there would already be results on the scaling solution that can be implemented come August 1. When it will not be a mess and there will be no confusion then it can be an uptick immediately after. As of now, the market is more on selling that is why Bitcoin's value is going down.

What people can give you now is a rough speculation because august first hasn't come yet. maybe when a result has been done we can then speculate again.

although i'm with those people who says that bitcoins price will continue to fall because of panic selling and switching to altcoins either permanently or

temporary. and if the split happens it can drastically falls maybe it'll take months or years to recover since ethereum takes 9 months to get back again.

but nothing to worry about because all of this is for the improvement of bitcoin.

Bitcoin's price will rise again, if the activation of segwit on bitcoin's network be succesfull and there are no problem be found on it, but if it be fail and there are wrong on bitcoin's network, it will not be rise again except all of ecosystem of bitcoins has another solution for bitcoin's problem (scaling) and the solution be succesfull to fix problem of bitcoins.

Hello. It is stil way above $2k as of now. Why are you saying that if you stated that you have been watching and promoting it.
Are you telling a bullsh!t to just create a thread or are you really a supported just not monitoring it really?
It can go beyond that and we will see that. For now, there are issues because of the fork and too many are in a panic but that doesnt mean it will end up staying with one price.
It will still move as long as there will be buyers and sellers. That is how bitcoin gets its value.

Bitcoin price actually was not meant to drop below $2000 but it did because of segwit2x situation only. There is no reason for bitcoin to go that down. It will rise again for sure because the split will give out two results that is BTC - X and BTC -Y. And one of them will gain the price back because of tremendous support of economic community. This will happen for sure because we have to always choose one.

I'm sure the bitcoin price will increase again even though there will be a chain split that happens, if a chain split happen it may later make bitcoin into several types and it makes the bitcoin price will compete and will continue to increase.

You are only watching ot Buy some more bitcoin at that time? Because i missed that chance to buy bitcoin.
Price will not instant after 1st august it will take some time to rise maybe it can take more than 1  month to raise again 2000USD . Or maybe hardfork wouldn't effect bitcoin at large scale.

I think bitcoin may drop in short time , but in the long run it is impossible for bitcoin to drop price because every day more people more countries more shops starting to use it. I think bitcoin only can drop and die from now on ; if all miners from all over the world stops their machines :)

Bitcoin has the highest chance of rising if there is a lot of good news for the community, meaning more countries start to get on board or more businesses start to do something that positively influences the Bitcoin community. If that fails to happen, then there are some issues when it comes to seeing Bitcoin go up in value, in a volatile but positive manner that is. The value will likely uptrend again but there was a textbook bubble, followed by the bull trap, and now it is on the return to the mean. Nothing fancy, all expected. I wasn't surprised to see any of this happening.

Bitcoin price fluctuates and no one can predict where the price will go. Currently, we are experiencing a big dump last couple of months, and this is due to the uncertainty of the Segwit2x activation coming Aug 1. People get nervous, worried and frustrated seeing the price fall. But again, this is just a temporary setback for the bitcoin ecosystem. But if you have here long enough, you will see that bitcoin has the ability to recover after a hard crash. So personally, I believed that bitcoin can bounce back again after the activation and it will reach more than $3000. Just have faith in it and have patience.

The crash was more sudden though wasn't it? The rise certainly was. I wasn't around then but from what I can see from charts it was pure market manipulation at play. Not enough people knew about bitcoins for them to be worth $1300 at that time. The market cap was just unsustainable. It's not the same this time, because we grew even further plus more people are into bitcoins plus there's a massive buy wall everywhere!

The price is around 2000$ now which is significantly lower than 2500$ but still I don't think there is the reason for panic. I would call this a correction, maybe also under influence on August 1 predictions. And besides this is not the first time this is happening, volatility is normal and we have all seen it before.

After aug 1 and just close your eyes and wait for profitz

I believe whatever happens Bitcoin will start to rise again 3 months from now, reason is obvious, people need an established decentralized currency.
If price is dropping doesn't make Bitcoin any less valuable, holders are selling and buyers are buying as low as possible.

All of us we want bitcoin price to rise again and again which is impossible because we forget that is a payment medium. Therefore has up and down. Bitcoin will not die. People bought high can wait. All others could exchange long time ago with fiat. So why some are crying?

I really do not think that is so easy to predict that the price could rise after August,it might take a longer time if there is a network split,so nothing is certain by now,just keep the coins you have right now and wait for these things to finish ,usually it takes a longer time in the past when there is price drop.

Let's just wait and see what would happen next after the segwit,
We don't really know when will it rise again but let's just wait for it but if you don't really think that the price would recover then just sell all of your coin and quit.

We dont know when bitcoin will rise again . Because as of now the price is still decreasing and I think after august1 maybe the price will recover again because many people after august 1 no doubt .]

Btc price increase can not be guessed by anyone because usually the price of btc rises because there is good info. And vice versa will come down if there is a bad issue. For example now the segwit issue

it's hard to predict if the chain split happen. bitcoin price right now is slowly decreasing because people are afraid on august 1st where segwit is meant to happen. bitcoin is the place of people where use their daily transaction but with the help of segwit we can decrease the time of transaction thats a good thing but a week before august 1 there's many user will gonna cash out their bitcoin because they afraid to lose bitcoins.

Bitcoin will probably rise after the segwit and it is expected to rise after many months. Bitcoin might be on its adjusting period again. But it will rise! To the top again and probably even more price. It might reach the $3000 or so.

BTC price will rise again when people start buying it, balancing the supply and demand...

The dump is proposital endorsed by big holders that want to drop the price to buy more coins for cheaper price. Similar with what happens on ICOs, just the inverse (instead of pumping the price, they dump it).

Only these big guys know when the price will start rising again. The little fishes need to follow the chart and enter the game on the right time.

These proposals of Segwit2x and UASF are brought to end the scaling issue which is most likely hindering the growth of bitcoin. No one wants to kill bitcoin. Whatever will happen will lead to the growth of Bitcoin and not gonna stagnate its growth. After all this fuss gets clear, probably by the end of the year. We will see the growth again and so the volume.

Bitcoin is already the future of crypto , I really hope that this split will be worth it and will be for the benefit of bitcoin growth. No need to panic since bitcoin can recover, we can't tell how lonv but surely it will recover.

It is the future of digital currency since 2009. Since it is invented 8 years ago, everyone knows it has a possibility of having a great price and future. Since it dumped so much in the past and then regained and broke it's past ATH, I think it is a good proof that bitcoin will be going back to it's current price.

Never, if our opinions mattered then never, talking doesn't change anything doing and acting does mate.

When they saw price is rising nonstop, they started to think about something that causes a serious drop

They did it and now price is dropping, if you are unable to see that you're being played then you deserve it

To be manipulated like a puppet, whenever demand increases price should increase as well, guess who will

Come out a more rich man?

None is sure about the next price pumping of bitcoin. Everyone were focused on the August to know what's the scenario of bitcoin in the future. Hope nothing happens bad with bitcoin even if the splitting of the network happens. Market fluctuations are the one that might stabilize the growth of the entire network.

No one will surely know on when would the price rise up again since particularly people are now focusing on this current event and maybe some of people are saving some money to buy when the dip is maybe over. But Speculate the rise up will come after august 1 issue will be silent since the rotation of the market and demands would come on it so for that provanilities of rise up maybe can achieve for that time passes by.

i think btc will waiting after august 1 and then the price will be rise. but unfortunately, many people can not patience and they make fast selling order to make sure they are not lose. because of this, the price is drop into bottom and we see now the price is in $2,2xx. many people is hoping that the price is not drop more than $1,500 so they can still holding on for a long time.

It will rise again believe me. It will not always be on this side. After this somehow like a tragedy we will see the price of bitcoin again at a very good price.it will settle dont worry, this isnt the end of bitcoin and as well as the whole crypto currency. While there is still a good price of bitcoin, its fine.

The basic reason behind bitcoin aside it's technology is the faith that the majority of users have in it and that's exactly what has been responsible for its existence up to this day. Currently, I have personally know quite a number of people whose faith has dwindled thereby flooding the market with what they have which then push the price downwards and there is nothing anyone can do but after August 1 I expect to see the faith being renewed and that's what will likely push the price upwards.

Of course all the bitcoin users in this remote country hope that after August 1, bitcoin prices will increase again as last month.
Because many of us are dependent on bitcoin so with the decline in bitcoin prices today, of course, has a fear of the future of bitcoin, whether bitcoin prices go back to their original price.

As you have said you have been in bitcoin since the price 150$ so you should now that the price is volatile and not will always rise even other resources, currencies such as oil, copper, gold, dollar isn't always upwards sometimes the price will go in a dip. Do you consider this a negativity in bitcoin or a chance to buy more while it is in a dip cause people are expecting the implementation of segwit2x/Bip148 wait until it is all clear and finish then the price will surely rise again because it's the nature of bitcoin.

The bitcoin will surely pump again after that event and I think bitcoin dumping now is normal because many panic sellers are selling their bitcoin because that is the way to secure ad make sure that your bitcoin will be safe after that event. I hope it will be successful.

As of now the price seems to be dipping and it will further go down. After 1 St Aug only we will get more clarity about it . Till that time more price fall is possible and opportunity to buy at later .

I was absolutely not worried. Even if the price is low year I won't sell my bitcoins. A lot of people told me that they want to invest their money in bitcoins for the long term. Don't understand why they are afraid of the long pause in 1 month or less. Probably all alarmist it is better to pursue other business interests.

It's hard to get a bitcoin back, it's falling, it's like a flying bird and it's shot by a hardfork. Bitcoin can only bounce back if the hardfork succeeds.

Well, it seems it wouldn't be rising again until after Aug 1. I just dropped again to $1913. And we're not even halfway through July. Till the dust clears, it's going to be a vicious cycle, with more people dumping their coins as they see the price drop. Of course, there would be people who would snag those but I think they will be outnumbered by those trying to flee.

People who'll have more at stake are more likely to jump off. If you have billions, why not risk buying a falling commodity?

I am not sure when will rise Bitcoin again. But, I hope that Bitcoin will rise again after August. And It will reach near about $5000.

Yes, my view also the same. After August 1, we can see many problems will come into settled down so that people will come back and start investing with bitcoin so that bitcoin will be reaching some new lifetime high price levels.

But I do think people will have more faith alone, might have come with more investments that bitcoins. Hence there will be less chances for them to jump off. Your level of confident with bitcoin is the big question here and I'm sure many bitcoin whales will never go out of race.

Yeah maybe it will rise again but no one knows when will it rise again and this thing is certain.
Panic sellers are everywhere and some who wants to get good profit take advantage to this chaos as the exchanges have bloody days recently.
Let our trust to bitcoin lead us to where will it be.

I see that a lot of people here are still optimistic. I just converted half of what I got, and depending on other factors, I may or may not use that to buy cheap bitcoins before finally moving everything to a more secure spot.

What would happen after a hard fork though? A lot of people are believing btc will rise after Aug 1 but in the event of a hard fork, which coin?

Simple in my world there is nothing to explain if you are having knowledge about bitcoin. Simple is that bitcoin has changing their disadvantages and into advantages of bitcoin therefore in a market the price of bitcoin as a low happen. It will be grows up after some implementation so keep calm don't worry about that bitcoin will goes down forever. Because it will pumps up more than $4000 USD or $5000 in this year.

The main reason is panic seller and i think price will improve after 1 august event,so don't worry in this bussines 1 month is nothing but olso nothing impossible in the cryptocurrency.

we really don't know what will be the real future of bitcoin instead of making some problem about it then how about earning while the price of bitcoin is low and then hold for it everyone has a skills to earn bitcoin to helps volume to be increase and when the bitcoin price become the same again and increase maybe there will be another improvement into it. Maybe by the month of october or november.

The question is what are you doing to raise the value? Are you calling retailers and asking them to take BTC? Are you spending bitcoin or just selling it back and forth for fiat? Those are the kinds of things that drive value. Otherwise there is no reason for bitcoin to increase in value.

Our last bubble has popped and I would expect further decline into the fall or next year. Unless there is an increase in consumer demand I see no reason to go up right now.

Agreed, when we will go through 1 August and bitcoin split will be the part of history, the price will slowly recover to its former heights and rise to new peaks.

The possibility of a rise in btc due to increasing demand and added now btc prices are not normal. Or just the price goes down

If the hardfork does not succeed, more people will sell their bitcoin and there will be no chance for bitcoin to increase higher than $3000 in this year anymore. Therefore, we should pray that developers and miners all support segwit2x

yes you are right if the demand of bicoin will increase the price will automatically increase. And now a day the price is decrease every one buy cheape bitcoin the invest there money hope they will recieve more profit in nearest months.

For now I think a lot of people are panicking, they sell bitcoins to their currency to minimize their losses, and some of them wait for the day when (the segwit2x) arrives there may be an increase in bitcoin (that's just my guess) I think Bitcoin will rise again after the day has passed, but there is no certainty for it, I hope it can happen, and I will wait until that time

That is true. As people were afraid, they sell bitcoins to their currency in the case, most coins will go low list before the fork on august 1st. Hopefully, after that, if the fork goes well then people will buy back in pushing the price up then definitely Bitcoin will rise.

yes agree with you its all about demand and supply. When demand of bitcoin decrease because of high price than price of bitcoin reduced but now every one want cheap bitcoin and bitcoin demand increase then the price will soon increase and those investors who invest there money in bitcoin hope they will gain more profit.

If you have been watching the market for years, don't you think bitcoin price has reach an incredible point? Over $3000 within 8 years.
Actually, bitcoin ever reached $4000 on South Korean exchanges. If you don't believe in bitcoin, could reach $10-100 000, why you didn't sell when it was $3000?

Bitcoin value will always recover and reach another level of price in every year, because it has some advantages which fiat currency doesn't, and if we're talking about an economic rule; bitcoin supply and demand are in perfect situation in order to reach those prices that you don't believe in.

First of all, there are very low chances of hard fork as most of the people expecting it to be soft fork only. But if somehow hard fork is activated, it will split BTC into two, the original is always  the masterpiece and it value will of course be more.

I think, in very soon Bitcoin will gain previous value, not only that but also it will certainly add more value than ever because of its acceptability across the world. due to some rumors, Bitcoin has lost its price in recent times but this bad time will not last forever. it is a natural process of ups and down in the life cycle of a currency, so take it easy and keep calm.

Bitcoin will rise again in two to three month because people will start their halted investments again. They will do it at such a big level that it might cross the valuation of bitcoin up to 3000 dollars and let's hope for that day to come. Rising of bitcoin is true in the sense that segwit2x will correct the blockchain hopefully without splitting it and people will regain the bitcoin as it was before.

I do think the price will eventually rise again. I think the price went up too high too fast and needs to consolidate. This combined with the threat of a fork naturally is bringing the price down. Sometime next year the price should recover to reach new highs.

The movement has started and the price has gained above 2050+ and hope that in 1 week we will see back the price going high and Segwit2x gets success on August 1st and the price roar to the next high stage

Hoping bitcoin will gain price on august 1 after the voting between segwit2x and hardfork. may the best for bitcoin and all the bag holders wins.

People always take advantage from weak hands to get more bitcoins and cheap, this drop were around 1000 dollars down,  and panic sellers had jumped out scared, after 1 August market should get more stable, and till end the year once all issues handled at bitcoin expect a grow into its value, soo its very possible to we reach 3000 dollars before end the year, and maybe reach above ammounts.

The price is still considerably higher than it was when it was $250 considerably higher than it was when it was $50. It's still considerably higher than it was what it was $600. It'll come back up after August 1st from people see that there's nothing to panic about that everything's going to be fine. There's not much you can do right now it will come up probably hit around 2800 before the first and then drop back around 2200 right before the first. After the first it should shoot back up to around 2900 to stay there for a period of time.

It's because of the continuous growth of bitcoin users this past years and present ,It will be more than $2000 afterwards when August ! is finally finish .
Hard fork and softfork matters peoples are too afraid what will happend after a fork .

Price is down due to the cash out of bitcoins from the market because users/investors are somehow afraid of august 1/BIP148. Wait for the 1 august, after that the huge increase in price will definitely surprise you.

The reason would be obvious that if the scalability issue gets resolved and there won't be any need of a soft fork, even if it takes place and everything goes according to the plans, then I think the price will bounce back to more than $3000 and may even reach $4500 (seeing the levels on charts) but won't remain that high and come back to become stable near 2500-2800 levels.

I agree with you, the best scenario in my head for bitcoin prices. Many people really take the bait and sell their bitcoin just because the possibility of hard fork and they have frightened even before it happen, but core teams has make it clear that August 1st and hard fork maybe negligible and we can do some prevention measures to make our bitcoin save. We will see how bitcoin could recover through this problem, but who still believe in bitcoin, keep hold and buy more cheaper coins.

still people are interested to buy bitcoin. we can see that the price dump to 1800$ and now it is again trading above 2100$ which means that peole are still interested to buy bitcoin and they do not care for the segwet. to me i personally holding my bitcoin and not going to sell, because i am also sure about the price of bitcoin that it will continue increase after 1st August. i think for those people who want to purchase bitcoin i think they have good opportunity to buy bitcoin n present time.

Everyone is selling their bitcoins and fears of missing out some good amount of profit. And that is leading to the price decrease, I think the whales did first the act of doing panic selling to control the market value and supply of bitcoins. Since everyone is holding they want to have some good supply in the market and lead everyone to sell.

Indeed some of those who have a fear of greater losses are currently selling bitcoins in their possession, but also not a few of other bitcoin users who are using this time to buy bitcoin because current price is down.

Did everyone noticed that bitcoin has somewhat recovered today after a bloody 3 days of dumping? I'm sure you did. It is now up by about 14% now. What does is tell us? It means that bitcoin will not be dead as other has been speculating here in the board and that it can quickly recovered. Of course, we are still far from the Segwit2x activation so there are still a lot of dumping that will happen because of the hard fork or splitting looming. But one's thing for sure, bitcoin will rise and nobody can stop it. If you bought bitcoin when the price is just above $1800 then good move, you will see your profits sooner than you think.

All are uncertain on when we will BTC rise again in a particular point in time. Due to some rumors circling the internet about the possible split (hard fork), some began to secure their coins and began cashing out or jumping to other boats (alts). Based from the current price, Bitcoin is gaining some decent momentum and slowly recovering from the previous dump due to some panic selling (most probably the cause). However, I believe that Bitcoin will start to go down again on the following week as we approach the first of August. So as my theory, we will see Bitcoin going up again and will achieve greater highs after the issues are resolved (after August 1st).

Undoubtedly, lots are selling bitcoins under stress and emotional tension of going in loss. I can just feel sorry for them because they behaving so unprofessional. It’s not for the first time and prices are dumping. Dumping itself is a sign that prices will go high again. For sure, the fork will go all well leaving the real lovers of bitcoins with enormous profit.

Panicking is not the right thing to do. They are just splitting into two it doesn't mean that the bitcoin will fall for good. Just trust me, after this August 1 event the bitcoin value will pump again and will be rising its value like the old days.

Don't panic sell your coins, just because Bitcoin has dropped pretty low this couple of days, doesn't mean you should panic sell all your Bitcoin. The reason why bitcoin has dropped so low these couple of days was due to the hard/soft fork that will be happening on August the first. Bitcoin looks like it is stabilising again, and looks like it is steadily rising back up. Don't give up hope, after August the first, everything will be fixed (hopefully).

Precisely, it has even started pumping up again and we are currently doing I think almost $2,200. Hopefully this trend will continue to rise later tomorrow so that we can really come back to our previous rate or better as we wait for August 1.

Yes, last time I checked its about 15% increased. And its still above $2200 now. Maybe the news that BIP91 was already started today may have contributed to the rise in the price today.

"With the rising number of Bitcoin businesses clarifying their position on SegWit, the possible future of Bitcoin becomes more clear. The world's largest producer of ASIC bitcoin mining hardware, Bitmain, has announced that all of Bitmain’s Bitcoin mining pools have already started running the new Segwit2x software."

Maybe after August 1st end, bitcoin price will increase again. It's depend on what happen after August 1st actually. If it's a good news then bitcoin will rise again for sure, maybe will increase more that before, the highest on this year.

But with my knowlegde, when BIP91 (SoftFork) starting signal, BIP148 (HardFork) will not active in August 1st

=> Not have HardFork: not split network Bitcoin, not change Block size from 1MB to 2MB because when SegWit2x need do that

=> Bitcoin not change more in system after SoftFork :(

Sad to say we are experiencing crashing on price of bitcoin and I guess it will continue to fall but the good thing is that there is a big chance that after the fall bitcoin could rise again like what happen in last history of bitcoin. We must wait for the effect of August 1 and hoping that it will result for a good news.

Yes the investors bitcoins are fear because of the activation segwit2x on bitcoin's network, so many investors sell large of bitcoins
then made price of bitcoins was went down and the down trend been followed by other altcoins. But i am not sure if after 1st August price of bitcoins will rise again because the risk of failure on the activation segwit2x is there.

We can't really blamed investors for cashing it out because of the fear of the unknown. After all its all about money, so they are really careful on pouring cash in this uncertainty. I guess all of us will really have to wait what the segwit2x activation will bring to the ecosystem. Whether negative or positive, I think we should really have to hold on our bitcoin and make the necessary adjustment and preparation for a looming hard fork or not.

I am generally opposed to blaming someone. Crypto currency provides freedom of choice for everyone. Even if the price falls I regard this as a good way to make money. Love can not be. If the person is not ready to invest in bitcoin now, he'll do it later but at a higher price.

The price is once again above 2000 people stop getting ahead of yourselves by trying to outsmart the market you are only outsmarting yourselves and in the process you are probably losing a fortune in bitcoin, just wait and hold it does not get any easier than that.

We can still speculate at least until 25th of August, bitcoin got a lot of positive attention from Africa and East Asia in these two days, news about UASF is very annoying and we have to start playing safe from now on, we can only play safe in altcoin market and very risky if doing btc transactions.

The market is full of surprises without a doubt in the past week,a change of four hundred to and fro is a big deal for every investor and i am sure many people would have sold their coins when the price went below two thousand  ;D and good for people who invested in bitcoin when the price went below $2000 .

They aren´t the owners of BTC even though they have the majority of the hashrate, so it is still necessary to wait to UASF supporters to active BIP148 on 1st. Aug, remember  only the users, They have the control of BTC, and the  users are not only the miners, that is happening is that the software client that resulted from the NY Agreement is a fork of the Bitcoin Core codebase, called BTC1 and is the one that must be running the miners to signal BIP 91 or with Bitcoin software that includes a BIP 91 patch and after 269 block at least of 336(happening right now) signaling this, it eventually will be activated forcing the rest of the miners to update to BIP91 or to risk mining invalid blocks, After activation of BIP 91 another 336 blocks should be already signaling to BIP 141(Segwit)  some block that does not meet this criterion will be rejected, Then  BIP91 deadline is on 29th Jul, If it isn´t activated by July 29th on 1th Aug will be two chains different  BIP148 chain or the original chain (aka "Legacy").  Then on 1st August the  BIP148 nodes(not miners) will start rejecting any blocks that do not signal to BIP 141 (Segwit), If miners with BIP91 and not miners with BIP 141 are activated in time there will be no division. If nothing happens the miners should switch to BIP 148 and activate SegWit through BIP141 to ensure that there is no a split.
 About the price will remain as long as there is no split  but the risk hasn´t yet passed.

This is the most were talking about now the fluctuation of bitcoin price. The downtrend happen this days but I dont know until what price its rise. Hoping the price will continuous to rise again.

It will surely rise, we just need to let August 1 passed by and hold our alts until then,that's the time we can know what may really happen, I take a break for now in trading . Will back after August 1.

Yup. That crypto currency is the freedom. Yes it is. You can shopping in different countries with more powerful currency. So it is better to having bitcoin and having free all around the world. When we having bitcoin it means that we are having freedom everywhere because crypto currencies available everywhere.

Yeah I agree to you. The btc will rise again after the August 1. It seems that the btc will be another level again. Many country will accept and legalize the bitcoin this following years I know it. The bitcoin is really have high potential growth that attract many investors.

Ya we have to wait till August 1 ,to get good returns from our money with bitcoin. After August 1 ,the price will reach the peak,their is no doubt in that. All know the answer for this. It's nothing but Segwit. After August 1 or second week of August, the price of bitcoin will cross 3000$.

That’s a nice thing, though. Crypto currency provides equal opportunity to all investors to play their best in the crypto market. The rise and fall should not be considered as disadvantage of bitcoins, rather I think it is the essence of trading with bitcoins. The true traders and investors do not believe in giving up on their coins when prices are touching ground. Generally, making profit with bitcoin trading is considered a gradual process.

Holding coins will lead us to success soon,we should believe that dumps may happen in a while but pumps will always have a line on coins , we just nees to take that chance and grab the opportunity when happens.

yeah opportunity comes ones in a while so better to use good understanding when to place our entry and how will we take the advantage of buying those dumped coins, crypto really got a lots of fluctuations and we aren't sure when it will happen better to make real deep study before making any decision
to make sure you act accordingly.

You have said that you are following bitcoin since its price was $150 and today its price is $2343 and i don't understand why still you have doubts about its price rise.Bitcoin's price has started to recover and people who sold it last week at $1850 are regretting for their wrong decision.Just wait till august and see the magic.

And I not know the reason he still holding Bitcoin but always doubts Bitcoin not have future ??? If think that why not sell all your coin at now and use this money for project you believe not like Bitcoin ;D

BTC price will rise when the demand for it is rising. As you may already know we do have a lot of fear driving the price. I guess that most investors will be bullish after it is clear how this whole segwit thing is working out effectively. As for the moment we are in an uptrend, but this might change quickly.

The bitcoin price is constantly fluctuating. After huge increases like the ones we saw this year, there will almost always be a correction before another gradual increase. People will lock in their gains and buy back lower to increase the number of bitcoins they own. It's just a natural cycle. However, there is always risk with a new technology like this.

Bitcoin is deflationary by design. There are fewer mined each year than the previous year whereas fiat currencies like the US dollar. So as long as Bitcoin is able to survive, it should be more valuable over time as compared to the US dollar.

Eventually all Bitcoins will be mined and they will become more scarce. That is already happening as the mining reward gets smaller. The Bitcoin price is volatile, but in the long run, the price should rise gradually. I recommend that you hold what you have an wait out this price drop.

i think the correction period has already over and now the price of bitcoin has to increase more and more. and this time i am sure that bitcoin price do not have to wait and stay before 4000$, i am sure that the price of bitcoin will cross 4000$ continuously and is not going to stop.

Bitcoin price this day keeps on pumping and pumping. I wonder what is happening on the market right now  and why they are driving bitcoins price to go up. Is  there any big news that affects bitcoins price?

you would agree with me that back then when bitcoin was trading @150$/BTC very few people actually even knew what bitcoin was... and now that more people are on board it becomes easier to spread and promote bitoin to others so that demand grows greatly and we see the price rise in the event.I honestly think BTC still has the potential

You be surprised what strings bitcoin can pull and as of today we are approx over $2500 and a few days away from segwit activation am sure we are going to stay above the 2k$

Maybe you conscious tells you to hodl because somewhere in you, you believe bitcoins could actually get to such prices hence not selling your coins.

Even though you say there is no need for panic, crowds already are panic and they started to sell their assets. Long term investors will never lose anything. Just need to be patient here.

I agree that long term investors will just be on hold and do nothing but will keep their bitcoins. I have some bitcoins for long term holding and I believe before that for sure the price can become higher again. And look on where we are now, the price went to $2,600 and it is ready to cross $2,700 so there's no doubt it will.

From the name is already clear long term investors it is certain they will hold bitcoin until they feel confident to sell it at the price they want or approached. I believe the bitcoin price will continue to rise as I'm sure things can happen, after seeing the bitcoin price soar this year I'd better hold it until the end of the year because some speculation says bitcoin prices will reach $4000 - $5000 / BTC this year.

When BTC dump to 1900 , it was panic selling. Many people feel uncertain about Aug 1. But now the vote show that 80% miners vote for SegWit. It means that there is a fixed situation after August 1. ALthouh there are big blockers who opposed Segwit , the percentage is about 20. They plan to split the chain and build their own network. 80 % miners who vote for Segwit give assurance to the bitcoin holders that there is no crash after August 1. Most people are affraid of crash when voters who support and oppose 505 balance. The bitcoin become zero value. Now you can see the price now is 2700.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/segwit-reaches-80-of-the-hashrate-likely-to-soon-activate/

True! there is a lot of confusion going around for August 1st but I believe no impact will come to anyone even if there is a chain split. 20% of miners are acting greedy but I believe eventually they will also agree to join Segwit after seeing the good side of it. I was telling people to buy more and more bitcoin when the price had gone down to 1900 USD level, now look at today's price, you will understand how much profit they would have got.

I myself bought some bitcoins during the price was running low and I am already sitting in a huge profit. People will have to think positive about bitcoin and then only positive thing will happen. There are a lot of people around who tries to discourage people from bitcoin because they want to buy it cheaper. Don't listen to them and invest in bitcoin. It will be rewarded suitably.

It's like a safe investment if you are going to see for the long term profits. And being a long term investors needs patience and dedication. It's not that bad to pinch some of your funds and investment in bitcoin but make sure that bigger volume of your bitcoins will be put on long term holding. Because it's clear also that the price will rise.

Although when holding long term not have stop limit loss but if you can keep your calm and patience with any happens, you still earning a huge profit and not loss as selling your Bitcoin and buy again with lowest price.
Example: Some people had sold all their Bitcoin when the price recovery to $2300 and waiting the price dip under $2000 again, but they not know this not stop in this price and breakout to highest price in one day

No there are only less number of bitcoin holders in panic and a big crowd for sure. That is the reason we are seeing big up surge in prices this week. I guess this trend will continue till August 1 so that we can pave path for bigger prices after August 1. We can be sure bitcoin price are going to rise again just in two weeks of time so this must be the right time to buy comparatively cheaper bitcoins.

There could be no need of explaining why bitcoin prices will rise again because obviously when new people will be seeing bitcoin prices are flying, they will come up with new investments to join the party. We can be sure it will keep on happening all the times.

bitcoin is now rising again because the panic selling already stop they thought bitcoin would end but its not they didnt read first before reacting on august 1st. well most of them are traders that they need to sell it high then buy low but im thinking that they would really wait a long time before bitcoin drop again just like the other day.

The price of bitcoin has already risen to $2800 so it really not good to buy it now. They should have bought it when the price falls below $2000. Some says that they are waiting to see the price around $1500, but it didn't sink to that price level because of the BIP91 news which bring a positive effect to the community that pushed the price to $2800 which we are seeing. I guess there have no choice but to wait till Aug 1 so see if the price will rose again. Because we all know that the price could push to a new level after Aug 1.

Many people give bad comments about bitcoin. But I myself have not been able to predict what is what. If indeed the split occurs the impact will be received may be not good. But in my opinion it is a technical that is for the future bitcoin so better. Maybe it's just waiting for the wait in 1agustus. Then we will all find the answer. Because at this time the price is still not stable. Hopefully with the split it will all get better if it happens. It's my expectation to the fore so many are using bitcoin

 You are definitely  wrong sir about the stable decrease of bitcoin.Everyone is waiting August 1 and after Segwit everything will back in normal. An effective technique is to convert your bitcoins into other altcoins because those altcoin can pump compare to bitcoin.

Already now the price of Bitcoin is increasing and also many people are holding Bitcoin up to August. After Segwit many people have the lot of expectation on Bitcoin, I think will reach more than 3000$ after August.

Well if you are closely monitoring the exchange sites or trading sites you could've seen bitcoin risen earlier and today it is currently ar around $2800 more or less, so to answer your topic I think it will try to reach $3000 before August 1 and if it drops by that day or around that time by the next couple of days or months coming it'll try to increase more, so keep your eyes on close and monitor its value on or after August 1.

Investment in it is more favorable compared to other investments, because investment in the bitcoin is very different from the others. Because all the technology that brings the bitcoin latest and certainly different from the others. But indeed we must always be prepared in the face of all the things that happened, as all can happen at any time. So we should always do the preparation, so that it can overcome the bad with the good
 

To be honest im expecting on some exchanges for this price to be set for this weekend. We will might see new ATH before August 1st but that is only speculation mine speculation.
Think that after activation and many weeks after it, we will see huge movement in price dont expect to see right away but after some time of adoption.

So do you predict a sharp increase in bitcoin price after segwit thing? I understood you do, but I think it's not gonna be a straight forward increase in prices, including altcoins.

This is what we need first when we keep on holding bitcoin. We need to be calm and control our emotions. With your example, I'm one of those people that sold at $2,300 but wasn't able to buy back when the price went back at the lowest price. And right now the price of bitcoin now is increasing again because of the demand.

I knownafter this August 1 segwit occur, the bitcoin price will start to rise up again. As a Matter of fact this days, the bitcoin value is starting to rise again and it is getting stable. And after the success segwit the bitcoin will even more high.

Well I may be a little late to the party, but I still feel like I could make a valuable contribution to the discussion.

Firstly, for the people who don't know the price of bitcoin is determined by a couple of things:
- Supply and demand
- Media attention
- The dark net

Bitcoin has already recovered and I think this is due to a couple of things:
- More supporters for segwit and the hard fork
- The snowball effect

These factors rose bitcoin by 800 overnight!

It is really increasing little by little. I think it is not increasing bigtime because of the segwit in August 1. Most of the people hold their Bitcoin and planning to sell it after segwit. Maybe in that time, it will increase all of a sudden. We just need to observe and wiat 'til that day come and notice the change by ourselves. I hope more investors will come after the segwit because it'll be in favor for everyone.

Bitcoin fluctuation price is the normal situation as this will increase in time. With this event on aug1, price may dump and pump so I have just hold for now. Though we cannot predict the price its movement in the market but I believe price wil rise again after aug1.

yes probably, its their plan to sell after the segwit in august 1. everyone wants to see whats gonna happen in btc world after august 1. many holders are holding it and some are selling it because they panic. that is also the reason why its price is not stable.

What's even wrong with most of you bitcoin has had really good increase this year why is that you always wan it to rise and always want profit and not any loss. All these years you were gold investors and probably after 4 years we used to get 50% profit but now bitcoin has been closing every year witg at least 200% profit but sometimes during the year the price fell so what if you always want profit go find something else

I don’t think so that the price of bitcoin will be increasing slowly, because the users of bitcoin has not been stopped investing in bitcoin. May be after August 1st the price of bitcoin down due to segwit. Sellers of bitcoin are very rare in the market than the buyer of bitcoin. Due to massive interest of people bitcoin price will again rise soon and I hope that upto September it would gain their position back.

Bitcoin will still have loyal users when we talk about recovery, if bitcoin system is divided into two or three all will destroy the current price, I think the bitcoin we have now will still get full support from the market in August and be able to do the recovery as soon as possible, prices will also gradually increase according to the volume of purchases.

I think now we may have to wait the end of August and September. When the storm will be over and the thing more clear. there are still many people confused with the current situation and don't even understand what is this and that and why. Keep calm and bitcoin 8)

I can't predict the future, but I can predict it will go one of two ways.  In scenario A, the favorite fork of Bitcoin go to 3000 again, while the less favored forks will dip a bit but keep the price they debuted at. In scenario B, everything goes down for the short term. If/when we fork, I think a lot of people will lose confidence in bitcoin, especially the newer people like myself.

Honestly I'm thinking scenario B is more likely, we are coming out of a bubble and I don't think the markets are done correcting yet.

If you follow daily price you never earn anything with bitcoin.
take and forget those coins, you will never lose your money.
don't listen anybody just take and HODL.

Yeah the price will be the step of the bitcoin that you will be going to sell but if you wanted to earn your profit, you should hold it for several days. Forgeting your coins and don't think to sell it while price is still not a healthy asset for dumping is much profitable by the time price will step up higher. Of course demand is the best keys for us to see price to rise eventually.

This is why BTC decrease people is not buying it and they decrease for like $200 and many people buy BTC and when it is stable again they put it back to it's original price.

$200 are you sure with that? that was too low if that happens maybe bitcoin is a big fall down and it will never happen again to rise after that . We don't know how low bitcoin peice may dump but it only takes some half of its Peak price .Bitcoins price will rise again after all issue like bip 91 is succesful.

We can't predict what will the exact result of bitcoin after the august 1. It has two possibility of result which is back to hundred dollar the price of bitcoin either it will pump. If the segwit will happen the bitcoin rise again because they need to do is to upgrade the services of bitcoin that will results of encouraging some people to use the bitcoin. The bitcoin rise if the population of bitcoin increase because the supply will increase if they buy a bitcoin.

Bitcoin is always up and down without predictable, now the price is about $ 2750 and for a few days it does look stable, I'm sure after the segwit finished or in november later, the price will reach $ 5000.

I am sure everyone will now have the idea that bitcoin is already rising now considering the price and and the timing in which everybody has been expecting that the price would have been lower compared to what we saw in the earlier part of the month but today everyone is having a tickle in their mouth showing they are happy. But I dont see the price jumping to $5000 just like that because series of events will still happen even after SegWit which might swing price in various direction but hopefully I am seeing the $3000 mark surpassed conveniently.

Keep your coins cause the future has already been written in the past and the ink is dry. Bitcoin is something that is not for selling and buying regularly is what I believe, its meant for saving and maybe investment. Don't get me wrong,but everyone has a different opinion on Bitcoin.

The time Bitcoin complete SegWit 100% is mid November, until this time the price of can increasing depending the mentality of trader. But I believe after SegWit success and not have any problem when processing, the price of Bitcoin will reach to target soon.

i agree with you that bitcoin is not to sell but to buy it regular for long run,  because in future we are expecting that bitcoin price will increase too much and in future bitcoin is going to be the main currency of the people and therefore bitcoin has a very bright

In fact, every year begins to predict that Bitcoin will rise to very high altitudes. The reality is somewhere these forecasts come true but not so optimistically as we would like. Although since the beginning of the year we have already observed a price rush for Bitcoin to 3000 dollars, so everything is still possible.

Bitcoin shows the stable growth so I don't understand why OP thinks that bitcoin needs to rise. He never died. To do this, just look at the graph of rising prices for bitcoin. At the moment in the world there is no more profitable object for investment.

You're wrong with that mate, the reality in this world now is you may gain good profit if you're hardworking and resourceful of any kind of investment, but if you're not I think you don't generate better profit as well. To have a stable bitcoin profit you should stay focus on those micro jobs offered and invest with holding btc in your wallet and wait for an exact moment of the pricr to get higher value.

That's actually what I'm doing now as a bitcoin holder. Trading bitcoin instantly in short period of time is useless and risky. Holding bitcoin helps us obtain bigger profits.

BTC holders just waiting to BCC situation to get clarified and then we'll be ready for another sharp rise.

Bitcoin will surely rise but the exact time is very unpredictable there would be a lot of fluctuations that can happen everyday and for you to be able to get good investment you must watch the table of bitcoin and wait when the price is reasonable for investment...bitcoin is very volatile we never know if it's value today will remain in that range tomorrow maybe will suddenly crashed or probably rise...we can only hold for our hope and take the risk for our investments

To have stable price! It is already stable in price chart and value is settled around 2800$. This is already a decent value after expected hard fork occurred. Now again all your holding will started increase again
 If didn't have much bitcoins please buy some coins as much you can now.

Whether we like support it or not, hardfork was one of the best thing that happened to Bitcoin. Finally over and people can take positions in the market again. I do not personally think that it solved Bitcoins current problems, but at least we trader will have some time to play before questions are raised again. I think reaching 3k again and perhaps trying 4k for the first time is not impossible, but before that BCC need to get on its potential price range and stable there a bit. This does not seem to be happining just yet.

Next price rise will happen but after BCC pass away in next following weeks. After this we will see market will be pumping with so many that this 4k price you mentioned may be happening and will be set as new ATH maybe. Think that next week or two will be stable price for bitcoin, cuz this BCC is currently news and all think it will replace bitcoin (no one will ever replace it). So after this we will have some movements not before. Think this is perfect opportunity for buying cuz price will go up and traders know this so they buy as much as they can.

OP you got it wrong, 2k5 is the new average price and expect it to rise after a successful fork. Sub $2000 bitcoin could happen but it will be very rare and far in between. Another reason bitcoin will keep rising is because it is limited to a certain amount of coins.

If price goes down in coming days then it will only for temporary basis and it will gain its position very soon in future and the main reason price will go higher is that the demand of bitcoins is going higher and limited supply will help in taking price higher.

Out of 100% people just 38% become a familiar with bitcoin by 38% people bitcoin raised to 3200 USD in these days so I would like to tell you that bitcoin will never fall to $200 once again. Because it will arise day by day which is a great change i would like to you that fall down is not the goal of bitcoin. Upward going is the goal of bitcoin. So keep believe.

Ya true.The price of bitcoin is reduced is only temporary. Today price of bitcoin is 3215$.Many expect the price of bitcoin will reach 3000$ at the end of 2017.But the Miracle is happened here.It reach before 4 months. So this  shows,the price of bitcoin will reaches 4000$ at the end of this year.

I think with the trend in recently and demand from new investor many country on the world, the price of Bitcoin in last year even reach to $5000 is possible. After SegWit in November complete, the price of Bitcoin will increasing fast, this is my predict.

well its depend still with those supporters and panic traders, as we knew that more and more newbies are getting engaged with this said investment
and they really helping the uptrend flow of this current system the more they attract new investors will surely bring a new hype with the current value, so
5k$ can be touch just think positive.

BTC-e offline down and can have worst situation lost all money of user on this exchange, but this accident still can't make the price of Bitcoin drop under $2400, why can't do that??? Because you need know Bitcoin in present have strong support from most trader and new investor joining every day.

Still saving my btc, What about you?  :D

There so much scamcoins out now there can only be one REAL COIN left and thats Bitcoin.
Ask around and nobody will recognize shitcoin or onecoin there will only be Bitcoin?
