Just days after the much feared and much hyped Segwit event for Bitcoin last August 1, the tiger has soared and roared as it has finally breached the 3K wall and might be heading to the 4K level (though there can be some correction after this level).

The trend right now going up and at what level it will settle for the coming days remains to be seen. I am sure that many Bitcoin holders are happy with this expected rise and there can be many who felt sad because they listen to unnecessary news leading them to convert their Bitcoin to fiat money.

Can this be telling us that Bitcoin is going to try its fate on the 5K wall?

Yes, 5k till the end of year. But there will be another fork yet, by November. It will be Jihancoin. There will be another fall then, but it will go higher after that.

Holding on to BTC!! 5k here we come! :)

This is the expected one for me.Many say bitcoin Price will reach 50$.For All of them Answer is here.Some it will reach 1000$,for them also answer is here.I will say,my dream come true today. I had inversed lot of money on bitcoin. Now I am happy to say I will get huge returns for my money. Believe in bitcoin blindly.

I was shocked it's $3095 now. I didn't expect it to hit $3k at this moment since many predicting a fall this month. I thought it's going to hit in some other month. Bad thing I need money so I sold my $55 worth of btc about 6hours ago at $2830 if i'm not mistaken.

Yes, i'm glad to see it. Hm it seems likely to reach $5000, we can only hope the best and hopefully it really happened and reached $5000. But i'm still not sure, what i do currently sell it or hold it until bitcoin prices more boost again or will even come down next. I personally haven't really been able to predict exactly.

It looks like its going more than 3K for good. I'd like to believe 5K will soon be reached before the year end. I follow my instinct whether to hold or not. Its investing on ALTs that I'm taking though. I can't just hold BTC. 5K is good though.

Finally Bitcoin reach 3000$ after a rough month where Bitcoin go down below 2000$ and almost lost the trust from the users and after a fork issue, this is certainly a great news and it is great to see Bitcoin price is rising again, but I doubt the price will stable at that point, but still glad to see Bitcoin is recovering

Well, segwit hasn't been activated yet. To my understanding in a few days segwit will be finalized and locked in and hopefully by the end of this month SW will finally be implemented. Check all updates on here: http://segwit.co/

Now that it's finally surpassed the seemingly impossible $3k level that hasn't been broken for months, i think that the future outlook seems bright. However a big part of the pump in price is because bitcoin cash essentially lost like more than 1/3 of its value. It's not surprising either that around $200-300 which was how much it crashed by approximately moved to bitcoin.

I don't think that dumping before 1st August was unnecessary news. I think that was probably teh safest way, there are many scenarios that could have happened that could have led to bitcoin's demise. But obviously to everyone's delight, only positives happened.

5k is not far off that's for sure, I mean its only a little more than 50% rise from todays's price and we have seen in the past bitcoin can rise that much in as little as a week.

Personally I think it will have a correction sometime before 5k before slowly rising again then reaching that point towards the end of the year.

5k looks very likely, but it won't be soon.
Maybe its a 2018 target for BTC.

It could easily happen if price go up in this paste few percentage a day.then before November W could expect to see this and then we could see price over 5k.

Great to hear this! I just see the same thing on https://coinmarketcap. com. Bitcoin is really a tiger and lion combined. Currently the price is at $3,120 that is beautiful to behold. $4,000 is in sight maybe next week. Hope this lion keep surpress bitcoin Cash until the owners beg for help!

To get to 5k we still have to break 4k first. Now that is a challenge in itself in my opinion.

The trend is definitely bullish and a lot of indicators and speculators have shown that there will be even more profit to come for the bitcoin holders. And i believe that the price of each coin will go up at least $300 first before dropping anything over $100.

I would be careful, though. People are optimistic but this optimism right now can very soon turn into hype, and mania.

Hedge your bets, for example cash out a portion of your bitcoins just in case. So that IF bitcoin crashes you have something to fall back upon.

It would be nice if the drama was over, but it's not over yet.



I think $5000 is very high at this time, maybe $3600 to $3800

agreed, new target should be around 3.800..

Well I have simply converted a few bitcoin into fiat, so I have only had a few bitcoin to really enjoy the bitcoin price hype! but I think the 5k value mark is much far away to simply speculate bitcoin to just manage to crash into that wall, I think that we are expecting that value maybe next year, it is simply to early to speculate that much of a price.

If we reach 5k any time soon I think I'll pass out. Bitcoin is the best thing that ever happened to me.

At some point even hovering around the $5000 mark won't be anything spectacular. It's all peanuts when you consider that Bitcoin is still a tiny dot in the financial market.

I have always been a strong believer of Bitcoin at some point reaching the $10,000 mark. It just doesn't make any sense to sell my Bitcoins for fiat just because the price has gone up.

That's why despite the fact that I strongly dislike BCC, I am just happy that it offered me the opportunity to increase my Bitcoin holdings for free ~ what more is there to wish for?

I really don't see 5k as any sort of issue long term wise. Sooner or later, this is going to be a price level of the past. 3k might seem new to everyone, but as long term demand for bitcoin increases and supply stagnates it is obvious to anyone with even a tiny bit of understanding of basic economics to see that the price of each bitcoin is most likely going to go up.

When it is going to happen though is a different story. I doubt that we're going to go to 5k this year, even though i would love it to happen. Though if SW does really well and bitcoin cash drops to close to 0, this could well happen.

If i had to bet my money on a year i'd say by 2020. A halving is due in that year, which will probably increase the price by a lot.

If we can get the following:

1) Segwit activation withoing any additional drama
2) Avoid November's hardfork nonsense (again..)
3) Get Lightning Network in easy to use wallets soon
4) Sidechain-Drivechain to get interesting and risky technology tested in real life scenarios

Then we can hit $10,000 soon, easily.

Too early to tell but if the graph tell us something then we are heading to a fateful $5000 which will be every eventful to all of us. But I assured you that everyone who woke up now is very happy to see that the price already break the psychological barrier that is $3000. I did not convert my btc to fiat so I'm enjoying the price increase and I'm still on my few but hard earned bitcoin and will continue to do so. I guess we need to break $4000 before we can have a discussion about getting to $5000. Let just sit and relax and enjoy the price increasing by the minute. LOL.

shut the front door! jeez i lost that opportunity i sell my bitcoins while the price are $2700 i never thought the price would reach $3200 i was wrong there . i think i need more patience in terms of waiting till bitcoin price raise. but i think bitcoin price would have a big dump this coming november. but its only my predictions so my income from that time im gonna wait till bitcoin price reach $4000 and then sell it like a bad ass :D

It's still a long journey to reach $5k wall though, but i believe it will someday. Our next target is $4,000 right now and we need $750 more to reach that. Maybe in the end of the year, the price of bitcoin will increase again like today. Actually it's about BCH right now, if BCH price goes up, BTC price will go down.

Haha but before complete this target, the price of Bitcoin not increasing and go to the moon in one time, sometime need correction price and stand still this price for stable the trend on market, and the whales will create more scenario for make us sell Bitcoin to them before pump Bitcoin :)

Maybe for now bitcoin has reached $ 3000, and is going up towards $ 4000. It may be too far to expect bitcoin to arrive at $ 5,000 in the near future, but, it is possible, because the more popular bitcoin, the higher the price.

Bitcoin price has crossed a new milestone of $3000 which has been expected long. In the past the price came close to $3000 and suddenly started to fall and reached below $2000. This won't happen this time as the price is above certain range and now more probabilities were found to reach $5000. Expect the price to reach $5000 by the year end.

5000 dollars price before end of this year 2017 bevause many investor for sure will invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin reach 3000 dollars plus and I think it is theright time to buy more bitcoin and hold it for few months to make some profit in the future.

Before 2018, Bitcoin will touch $5000, for now on the segwit activation, we will see $3500 to $4000. Bitcoin is now more unstoppable than the recent years.

yawn! Remember that Bitcoin has 8 decimal places. There is a LOT to rise and I wouldn't be surprised if we will be talking $50,000 instead of $5000 in a couple years.

Anyone NOT buying Bitcoins will really kick themselves in the nuts at a later date. Not too early adopters have made 50 times their money already and more considering all the profit takings along the way.

Exactly, Bitcoin has the potential of making a person millionaire in not more than 5-7 years. People who are considering present price high enough to not buy Bitcoin are Lossing an opportunity.

There are only 1% of world's population which invests in Bitcoin. This shows Bitcoin has huge market potential left as well as supply will keep on declining due to halving event. So overall price is set to increase exponentially in coming years. Till the end of this year we will definitely see $5000.

Long term wise i think that it is fair to say bitcoin is going to keep going up, due to the fact that there is only ever going to be a limited amount of bitcoins, and fiat currencies are infinitely printed by governments. This alone will mean that bitcoin will thrive in the long term.

However, in the short term things are very different. And i believe that it is the short term that OP is talking about here.

I don't think that 5k is going to be easily achieved this year, even though it could happen. It just seems like a bubble even if it does get that high and will prboably drop down in dramatic fashion soon afterwards.

But at this point in time i think 4k this year is a very possible level.

I totally agree. If the activation of Segwit will be as smooth as possible without dramas, FUDs, panics, and such, We will have a bright future ahead. I doubt about the hard fork thing since the community is saying NO to it. If ever Segwit gets successful, we will hit 10,000 USD but in a form of a bubble. It will burst later on. Well, regardless if it will be a bubble, Bitcoin will be there in any way.

It can.
A lot can happen. That 5k mark will be reachable. But we should not make haste for that to come. A 4k mark will be enough for me before this time of the year ends.
Dont want to be risking my bitcoin with authority looking at it so frequent just for the purpose of how to bring it down.
I am still amazed on how it grew for just month. Dang bitcoin!

$5000 is the psychological barrier that has the most meaning, because if we cross it, it means we are closer to $10000 than we are to $0. So once we get to that point, exponential growth may kick in, and this means we will be growing at crazy phace, similar to 2013 bubble mode, which may peak in $100000+, then a crash to stablish an higher floor than ever before, which at the end of the day is it still progress, but this is how disruptive technology grows, bubble and burst cycles.

I think we will reach to 5k until end of the year already but we may return back.. But I think there is great chance of another hardfork that may damage btc little.

Let it happen, let bitcoin pass $5,000 very soon and let's see those speculations that are about to happen. It will be one of the best day of my life if the price of bitcoin will surpass a new ATH and will be stable at $5,000. I'm not holding that much of bitcoin but I'm happy to see it happen very soon.

Wow I am lucky I didn't sell my bitcoin. I had believed that it will increase it's value and it happened. I still have no intentions to sell it I am going to hold my bitcoin till the end of this year. I know that bumb and dump will happen in bitcoin price but it users the potential to increase it's value even more than this current price. It needs to be patient while dealing bitcoin and most importantly it needs to understand about the bitcoin, once you are done with it you will hardly take any decision with regret.

Well in this year we still have the risk when SegWit in deathline of complete 100% (November 15th). So don't think the price of Bitcoin in current is real, maybe just the trap create by whales and they want take profit before transfer their funds to FIAT or altcoins.

5K is going to take a lot of time and it is not going to be easy. I would be very happy if 5K is achieved by the end of this year. Anyway I don't care much. Ever since the start of this year, Bitcoin has given us close to 250% returns.

I think the 5k price is over rated speculation for this year. I'm actually surprise that BTC hit ATH in the middle of the year. It is very early against my prediction which will happened at the end of the year.

No prices will be overrated when there will be enough adopters to support bitcoins. Prices are being decided by how many people are adopting bitcoins and how much investments are coming into bitcoins and definitely not just by technical way of predicting like over bought nor over sold region kind of calculations.

Hence I believe bitcoin prices are all set to have $5k levels in coming days. We may expect $4000 to happen by the time segwit will be activated by august 8 and then $5k by end of this month.

2017 is the year of surprise, any target we have predict in early this year are reached and increasing to new high price, not stop at this price. But I think maybe we are live on the big bubble and can breakdown anytime, I scarred in one day the price of crypto are drop to lowest price.

This is telling us that Bitcoin is going to try its fate on the 5K$ wall! Can you imagine how those who sold Bitcoin by the price under 2000$ few days ago with a scare of coming fork are regretting now?  :D

I think it is possible to reach 5000$ by the end of the next year, I think many people are expecting Bitcoin to reach higher with in short period of time but it should take some time before crossing 5000$. Without consolidation, it will be dumped fastly to below 3000$.

The price of bitcoin now is already 3200 dollars . And it will continue increasing. I think also the price of bitcoin before end od this year will be 5000 dollars because many investor as of now believe in butcoin and trust . Even they have another split in november Ithink it will not affect instead of that after the splitiing again it will increase more than the current price. More bitcoin that you bave more moneh to cone.

Why? it was round $1k at the start of the year and now we have 5 more months left and also we've had the segwit adoption..I can, honestly, see the price getting to $5k or close to that number later on this year.

5000 is also on it's way bitcoin is now increasing by 100$ every 3 days if this trends continues till the end of the year even 7000 will be a low target for us. Bitcoin is rising again but this time it doesn't look like there is going to be a stop for it. Bitcoin will always be the best investment. Altcoins are temporary bitcoin is legendary
