How think what price BTC will be after 23 August?

I think $4500

What will happen at 23rd august  ??? I don't think there is anything scheduled for that date so predicting price for some random date like that doesn't make any sense. Price might be at over $4k by end of this august. Segwit gonna activated within next few days, that might affect the price alot.

August 23 — This is around when we can expect block 481824, which is when Segwit should activate. From this block on, Segwit transactions will be legal on the network. This also sets the activation date for BIP102 on Segwit2x to block 494784 (exactly 144*90 blocks later).

Nowadays I am watching that Bitcoin price is going up day by day.After 1 August we saw that Bitcoin price is increasing and we should expect that the price will go up after 23 August.It is good news for us that Bitcoin price is increasing.

bitcoin price always increasing day by day, i guess btc price will hit $4200. Many people now realized that bitcoin maintained by community around the world and government can not stop bitcoin growth

If SegWit will get activated on the network for real on 23rd August then we will surely see $4000 crossed and maybe some more price consolidation will also be seen and may inflate higher till $5000 before it gets settled somewhere back near $3800.

There is nothing special that is expected on 23 August other than the fact that bitcoin price will keep on rising so lets just keep our fingers crossed and see the price of bitcoins to move upward on daily basis.

Hope this happen! I have been expecting a serious pump since August 1. Now that another event has been scheduled for August 23 may we get to the moon then. If the price will get to $4500 before the end of August  then the best time to buy is now.

I agree with you. The price after SegWit activation will be 4.5-5K.
... Unless miner doesn't switch mining power to BCH. Then it will be a total mess.

Wow  i didnt know there was gonna be more about SegWit in the upcoming days... Lets see what happen guys, as i see bitcoin is now being unstopabble since aug 1st, its amazing, i can expect a $3900 - $4000 to this event, no more, lets be realistic guys, it will go up but slowly.
Anyone knows when all of this Segwit will finish? i dont understand it, i thought after aug 1st it was over, but no hahaha , its crazy
just lets see what happens after all this mess.

I also think $3800-4000.
There will be different prices on different exchanges.

Segwit is activated by the block number 479707 and it was confirmed by http://segwit.co
Still I am too not seeing anything on 23rd aug which is other than 2 weeks from today. I guess OP wants to speculate what is going yo happen in next 2 weeks. I guess we are going to test $5000 levels in this two weeks of time.

I also was not aware of the August 23th. Only August 1st, 8th and november with second hardfork with a second free coin maybe.
We should make a time plan for good predictions.

Such a high price the fact we don't know what will be the price of bitcoin this coming 23 of august but i believe the price can be just touch arround $3500-$3800 this is much possible for me that i think i think the price can be reach but everything in bitcoin can be possible if more people will invest in bitcoin the price can be touch in $4k above..
But for now i don't see any sign of the price can be increase above $4k.

Well this is a really big amount to achieve. We can hope that Bitcoin reach that price, As, We are seeing that Bitcoin price is raising day by day with a huge difference we may see Bitcoin near 4000$ but 4500$ is hard.
Since 1st August Bitcoins price is increasing incredibly which is a good sign. Good luck all and good luck Bitcoin.

why would we need to wait 23rd august for segwit ?
or am i missed something in here ?
as far as i know,Segwit already activated.

https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000008f2e3c9fbd378b02bc2c9ff088ba458a6e6a27fa9493ed
http://segwit.co/
http://xbt.eu/

No matter what will happen Bitcoin price will always rise and hit another ATH.
But,in my opinion we will see another decline.it should be a week or around that time.
and yes,we will hit $4000 or even more this year.

So,Segwit already activated or not ?
 ::) ::)

For me i think the price of bitcoin will be 4000 dollars in the date of august 23 or before end of this month. I dont know what is the event or anything happen in august 23 but I believe that the bitcoin still continue to increase.

Yes Segwit is activated and now we have to wait for 20 days to complete and if nothing is problem then here we seeing bitcoin working fully with new segwit features. And the price of bitcoin will be $4k +

I think it will go up but not really $4,500. That's practically doubled. It is only a few days before that time and I don't think it would happen. I think it is more realistic to think about that price for the end of the year. Well, bitcoins doubled in price in the past but not really in that short time span. Though I am not closing my doors to such possibilities as I really believe prices will go up because of the segwit activation.

And do you honestly think that majority of the bitcoin holders/users are monitoring the situation to know that detail?
From my experience, I can tell you that most of Bitcoin users are not interested in what is under the hood.
They care only about potential gains and long term goals.

I predict the price goes up to over $5,000 before September.
It already rose $600 in 48 hours only...
After 23 August I think it will be over $4,000 100% for sure!

Yup it's gonna sky rocket no matter what happens at that activation. On 23rd we will see another giant leap of bitcoin taking us to 5K plus value. If you can believe that then this is the right time to buy the bitcoin and lots of it if you can really afford it. We saw one segwit activation and its after effect and now we will be witnessing the other one. Hope that everyone enjoys this month.

If in my opinion, or my prediction bitcoin prices it will not reach $4500, but will still be above $3000 and close to the price of $4000 only. But hopefully it can melebehi with what i predict, clearly obvious i think bitcoin will not go down at the below price of $2000 i'm sure about it.

Exactly. but i think the important here is that more people are now aware of this august 23 segwit. I too have just read this and it gives option to hold some amount or to dump all of it. In general also everyone could profit in the long term. And i think if this has activated confirms would go faster and fees would decrease. But offcourse we need to wait  again for some time for it to be fully utilized if ever there are claims that something is wrong.

My prediction is also that about the price of bitcoin that's it's price will not reach to 4500$ because in two weeks it's price will not jumps to suddenly 4500$, may be the bitcoin price 4500$ will goes to at the end of the year. So I also think that its price will hit 4000$ after or before the date of 23 August. And right its price will never go down to below 2000 $ so it price will high more and more.

Yes I completely think so. We can refer the current situation with the 23rd one and correlate it to know what price could bitcoin have at that time. It seems bitcoin has already moved to +500 USD since a week and it won't be difficult for it to surpass the price of 4K really. This would be another effect of segwit2x activation and making bitcoin economy really healthy.

NO, segwit isn't active right now, but only locked-in and scheduled to be activated on August 21st to take place in 2010 blocks, based on https://coin.dance/blocks.
For now, we've entered two-week 'grace period' until block 481,824 to give some time for miners to upgrade their software to support segwit transactions. After segwit be activated on August 21st, I am sure bitcoin price will reach $4000, even before segwit be implemented we could reach this price as the new ATH was $3500, $500 left to achieve.

I cant really pinpoint on the possible price of bitcoin on upcoming segwit activation but im rest assured it would really be more than on the recent price as of now. After August 1 hype now we are again speculating again on August 23. I would really love to see what would be the thing happen now just like on previous weeks. This would be exciting.

under 4k $

IMO price will hit 4000$  before 23 august. But noone knows exact price/date on this volatile crypto markets.You shouldnt expect big percent change on prices before September On september we will see highest maximum on BTC price chart IMO.

yes you are right, i just learn from eth hard fork, afte4 they split to etc and eth, eth spike, btc will goes up and bch will not worth more then 1/10 btc value..

I don't think any notable event could gonna happen on 23rd August but keeping the fact of inflation in price of bitcoin after the 1st August's fork in mind, it may be concluded that the price can reach up to 3900-4000$ till that time. But it may also probably hike up to 4500-5000$ in a month or two.

As per my experience on market, this time is last month and usually have big crash or big pump in this week, because this is period between two months and new candle will be green on the first of every month. So, be carefully in last week of this month if not want loss a lot of money.

over 4500$

it is still going up soo....

nah, I don't think it will jump that high, probably will be somewhere around $3700-$3800. The price is pretty stable right now, even dropped by $100 and keeping around $3450, the price of $4500 will probably be hit somewhere around late october, early november.

The current chart looks very good, bitcoin prices are increasing rapidly and in high quantities. Other than that the price reduction was not too much so I can say save bitcoin is currently safe enough to avoid the loss. Look at some possibilities then there will be another bitcoin price increase, we just wait and see the results while hoping there will be a positive rise that occurs.

No need to worry on bitcoin price, I'm pretty sure that bitcoin value is remain into high amount. Because if you remember the segwit more users were sell their bitcoin and after that the price of bitcoin will increase rapidly. So if you plan to sell your bitcoin on or before August 23, maybe just think it many times.

We must not be over confident yet, who might knows btc price on that date will go down for the main-time because as of now many of those who had invested is waiting for another price spike to happen. Upon reaching their goals, they had in their minds to sell when the price rises higher and take the profit.

Yes and if you will not sell your coins before that then you will be benefited in long term as even price goes down at that time it will bounce back soon and at the end of the year price would be much higher so the best thing is to hold your coins.

I think more of a $4000 range, $4500 can also happen. It depends on how the people react, I am thinking the increase in price will be gradual and not an instant hike.

in my opinion the price of bitcoin after August 23, will probably reach the $4000 because it is currently at number $3400, bitcoin possibility this would happen this night keajiban with the speed of price rises so that prior to August 23, will be close to $3700. I'm sure this will happen as early as August yesterday which gives extraordinary surprise

On what your confidence is based? What needs to change? It seems to me that after August 1 the price went up naturally because for a long time, the demand was constrained due to panic. Now I see no reason for the sharp rise in prices.

You can understand after the event distribute Bitcoin Cash, new capital from investor going to this coin and make total marketcap crypto increasing, but then the price of Bitcoin crash to 0.06 BTC => This funds transfer to Bitcoin or Altcoin on market, and Bitcoin is subjects for the scenario at now.

The price will only go up on the way to segwit activation. Everyone is anticipating it and of course there will be buys in anticipation of the improvement of bitcoin. Segwit is much needed for bitcoin to scale. This will push the price higher than what it is now. Though no one can really tell how much it can go high.

Most likely the price will increase and hopefully it'll reach $4000 by August 23. Bitcoin has been increasing almost year after year so we all are expecting it'll reach a certain amount by end of this year. We are not far from reaching $4000, so let's just wait and see what will happen by August 23 then.

If all trader are waiting the price of Bitcoin reach $4000 in August 23rd, I will desicion take profit before this situation ;D. I don't think in this time still have demand want buy Bitcoin when a huge seller take profit.

I'm expecting it to go up to $ 4000. That would probably be a more normal growth. Going up to fast could create a non-sustainable situation.

I agree with you, now the price of bitcoin goes quickly up. If this continues, then soon we will see a stable price in the range of 4000-4100 dollars. Many have long been waiting for this price

Well if i had bitcoins i would really wish for that to happen,
But having none, i wish i had some and got some of those free bch haha
Sucks to be me xD

seeing from a lot of positive comment from all people here i have to agree with them that probably after august 23 there will be next ATH from bitcoin and $4000 looks not impossible however i have a plan to bought bitcoin today to testing how correct people predictions and holding it untill that date

I don't think so if that price is reach by bitcoin for 1-2 weeks, because $4000-$4100 I just believe that amount was in hard to achieve. Also bitcoin value in the market is fluctuating into $3300 - $3500, I think on August 23 BTC price was around $3000 - $3800 not sure but looking forward to that price.

It could be that high but my guess it would only be around $3,700- $4,000.
I just hope that it would continue to grow as our community grow(bitcoin user's).

Well the constant rising of price now is because of scaling debate from the community of how far bitcoin will go.
It is the talk of the town if the price will go up or down.
The $4000 is more realistic to be happen before august 23 as we are now in $3400. So maybe $4500 by next month hope to be happen.

Im guessing $4000 or more to that day, activation of segwit will make the bitcoin great again and investors running in more.
Bitcoin will grow more each day.

Well I think you are rushing things here. August 23rd is just days apart from now and getting that kind of price hype will be bubblish. It is still best to have a slow and steady growth. If your perception happened, I am almost certain that a price dump will happen. Many will sell their coins to gather their profit and others will follow due to the fact that they will be scared if the drop continues. I am seeing that a 4000 USD will be more suited for the date.

im also positive that it will grow to that level as we see that there's more newbies who also invested with this system and  a lots of
new networking style which also making bitcoin/crypto involves for people awareness so its good to see that btc will go up after this
time frame.

this coming august the value of bitcoin is to become 4000$ upto 5000$ before the year end the bitcoin continues the uprise after the split my prediction the very strong the value until this coming year january 2018 and the price value to become 6000$ up.

Due to the awareness of bitcoin. It price is keep on increasing day to day.Today the is around 3495$ ,which is very close to 3500.So you can see the price of bitcoin greater than 3750$ I think. I may be huge rise in the price of bitcoin in coming two to three days.This is the thing which the Investors waited for long.

I am not updated so what will happen on that 23th of August ? if there's is something good $4500 is too much without staying about a week or a month in $4000 that is a huge price jump.

Honestly I expect nothing special to happen.
I suppose it's gonny be something like the last halving: Everybody is sitting infront of the computer and waiting for some miracle to happen.
But in the end it turned out that the expected price increase has already happened.
And the situation we have right now strongly reminds me of that.

By August 23? Hmm it's quite a short amount of time to say that it will reach $4,500 but it's possible to happen. I'll go with that it's going to be at $3,700-$3,800 on that day I guess we are now in a slow movement. As this is what I observed with the movement that it has calm move for now.

Well you are the CryptoProphet, and you should know, why not tell us? ;D

All jokes aside, i think that $4500 is a very achievable level after 23 August. We have seen the 1st August event absolutely blowing everyone's minds and the price going way up instantaneously. We have seen after 8th august when SW was locked in how the price went up to $3000+ and is still climbing.

And all this without a thing that's actually been done really. So when SW is actually activated i would suspect another $1000+ rise. This will take the entire crypto market cap to more than $150 billion. However, not all coins will benefit. Bitcoin cash, for one, will probably drop dramatically after segwit is activated.

If $4500 isn't hit, a $4000 level will be broken at least.

All went very quickly. Bitcoin prices rise like never-ending, this is good for bitcoin development and also for those of us who always use bitcoin. Investing in bitcoin makes me able to get anything, everything feels very easy like in a dream. Bitcoin is a future and also a very beautiful miracle.

I don’t think so there is anything wrong in predicting the price of bitcoins for any date or day. Though there is nothing scheduled but still in the shadow of coming events, we can predict the prices. Yes, Segwit is going to affect values in a positive way.

Yeah, I agree with you, 4500$ seems feasible by August 23rd. However, I do not think it will stay that strong long, because all of this caused by a SegWit hype I guess. We should come back to around 3500$ I think after the fever has gone.

I don't think that price comeback to $3500.

Even though if Bitcoin come back at $3500 it'll eventually surpass the current ATH like what it has always done before. Every time I'm selling my Bitcoin, I just feel damn regret because if I hold it longer, I'll have more amount of money. Well, that's always happened in this crypto currency world.

Is there any special event that will happen on that day?  Thats why your asking about the price of bitcoin how far it will reached on the said day?  As what i see on the current price bitcoin price will hit 4300$ before the end of this month.

-> this : https://www.xbt.eu

You're actually very very close. I'm surprised at how accurate this prediction seems to be.

Right now the price sits at a respectable $4150 per coin on most exchanges per bitcoin, which is more than enough for me, personally. Remember this is not even a week until Segwit gets activated, and i don't think the bullish trend is going to stop when that date comes.

$4500+ would be a decent level, but every single time there is a pump it always overshoots. Therefore, i think probably 4600-4700 per coin 1-2 days after SW activation.

This is crazy, crazy stuff though. I would have been considered a maniac for saying these things a couple of months ago.

Bitcoin will be a easy 5x this year!!! Just hold btc

The demand from korea japan and chinese is really huge u can see, imagine those population adopt btc

We will see it soon ;D ;D ;D
Wait few hours and to the moon ;)

Do repost on steemit :) Please support.

I hope so this happen due to increase of block size in mining network. However, I noticed the fees for the transaction has been increased to 0.00082 btc in my Coinbase wallet. Is there any connection between both of this thing?

I have around 0.58 btc in my wallet and planning to buy to mobiles for my brothers. I hope that I can better one if price rise to even bigger number.

I think it depends very much on the mempool being cleared. If it is not, we'll see a sell-off.

I think we just hit above $4200 now which is a good sign. At least we have recovered already from the past days price correction. I think Segwit activation will be on Aug 24 though as there are still 112 blocks needed. So we may see another bull run in the next coming days and we could hit $4500 again.


I've noticed that the mempool has been clogged lately so it maybe a factor of the increasing transaction fee's we are seeing again. But definitely it will be cleared don't you worry. We have been here before and for sure you have the patience to wait a little bit until the issue is resolved. Wow. What phones are you thinking of getting for your brother? IPhone 7s or Samsung S8?

i think also it will reach $4500 at this state right now btc right now august 23 was $4200 and it will raise this day i know it. maybe not $4500 tomorrow but it will reach $4500 after this day. im not selling out my bitcoin today im gonna wait $5000 barrier before i sell it out because big dump is coming this november. :)

I consider that price would make to 4500$ soon. Till its price is near about 4200$ but it will break 5000$ up to next month positively. So it will smartness in holding them for great future profits...

Today is 23 August 2017 and Bitcoin is currently selling at $4214.90

Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

The price may increase in the future but not for now because there is so much fluctuation in the market.

I come here in this thread on the time, because today is August 23.
But you prediction is wrong, you can see bitcoin is still stop under $4205, may be in the whole day bitcoin will be come at $4300 but it is impossible for only today that bitcoin come at $4500.
Actually, i agree with you on one point, and that is when you predict in that time, people have thought bitcoin will be reached at $4500 very soon, but some little dump is the reason bitcoin can't come on it. 

Many predict today's date and so on, and ultimately bitcoin prices remain stable, and can not be separated from the $ 4000 price tag.
I think, bitcoin prices will continue to increase in early September next month.

The price has begun to move forward crossing $4200, maybe this time the price crosses $4500 as the growth gas begun from the price less than $4000. Use any consideration of the time period the growth is taking Place. Hope the same continues for a longer time period without much of deviations or drastic drops.

Yeah not going to happen with all these HF/SFs miner mutinies, dropping out hashrate etc. It's as uncertain as ever, why I love bitcoin.

Hard to predict.  ;)
I dont think someone can.
Even with the SegWit thing, we cannot see any future events that will happen with its price.
Maybe a little bump up but who knows. It could also lead to a low price thinking what if a large number of bitcoin is sold.

I doubt it will cross a new ATH anytime soon. Maybe it will on November after the hard fork. There is no significant events happening now that can push the price above 4500$. I think it will play between 4000 and 4400 in the coming months until it push again on November.

It can be predictable now since the said date is now. I can see that bitcoin dipped a little from 4200+$ to 4132$ and this might continue depending on what movement it will make by the end of the day. For now all I can say is that there is a high probability of it dipping more in the next coming days but I doubt if it would reach new heights again maybe this is the end of those crazy price rise.

Today is the 23rd and in few hours we would have forgotten about this day to get ready for another battle that will give room for myriad of discussions and threads about how the price will react to such secenero. But I am happy that bitcoin price exercise some level of stability at this time and if will be seeing some high changes in price, we will need to wait for the next few days in other for the benefit of this day to sink in.

As of forum's time 09:23PM the current price of bitcoin is $4,115. I can't assume if this is about to increase, I have read some tweets that price will start to rise very soon but I don't know on when it is exactly going to happen and even those people who speculated the price of bitcoin is about to pump.

It can't be happen because bitcoin is not that stable of increasing since it has a part of decreasing as you can see the price of bitcoin is always playing at the price of 3900-4000 means that its not the right time for the bitcoin be that price and the demand of bitcoin is not that okay so far. I have read some news that bitcoin will start raising again after this month nor by october.

Nothing specifically on 23rd of august, give it a day or two and then maybe we'll see some significant change. tho, I've seen that the price dropped down to 3800$ for a few hours and got back to around 4100$ (preev.com (http://preev.com)) now. At all, give it a few days and maybe we'll see price going up to 4500$ (seriously hope so).

I think they care about 23 of august about activation of segwit but looks like the estimate time changed into 24 that you can found here
https://xbt.eu/
And sooner we will see the big impact of segwit after activation is finish not exact of august 23 but in 24 we will see the good effect of segwit sooner.. 
That is why the price of bitcoin is stay calm and high because they are still waiting for segwit activation and maybe there is possibility of the price increases soon.

Today is August 23^th, and current price is $4126 on preev, tomorrow its price may increase a bit within $100-$200.
Well, segwit will be activated after 11 blocks https://coin.dance/blocks?update, and this is another milestone in bitcoin environment. Hopefully, bitcoin could attract more people and merchants to accept bitcoin payment and gain more value if segwit really works.
There are 7 days left before we're move to next month, I guess bitcoin could reach another ATH, maybe around $4800 in the end of this month.

7 blocks left at https://coin.dance/blocks i hope the price will go $4500 and will stay there, bitcoin needs to break that resistance in order to stay.
Count down begins now.

i think bitcoin will be $5000 because people's are really exciting with segwit activation.only 3 blocks before segwit activation and we can start to party.

Nah, the bitcoin price still at $4,145 after 23 August but it's better actually than the last 2 days. In my opinion, the price of bitcoin will stable around $4,000. Actually the price already increase even before 23 August, so i don't know is 23 August makes the bitcoin price increase or not.

Bitcoin price was stable and no changes after August 23, 2017. I think before end of August 2017 bitcoin value is reach the $4000-$4300 but hoping that it was increase more rather than my expectation.

currently we have already activated segwit but the price seems to be going nowhere.

I do expect something like a $300 rise in price, as you said i think that $4500 should be possible. We could potentially break the all time high once again, if the conditions are right(people are optimistic, traders have buying power, and BCC crashing would help too).

This will probbaly happen in 2-4 days time, it's not happening now because not all bitcoiners know that segwit has been activated yet. Some are still sleeping. Though don't get too risky and invest everything you own, it's likely that we won't see a pump of the magnitude of the last one in this month.

I think the price will increase the next few weeks.
Segwit is now active and it seems like it has worked.
From what other guys told me, people have to start using segwit and then it will show its true potential.
I expect the size of a block to increase, the mempool to decrease and the transaction to be faster again.
That all ends up in an increase of bitcoin price within a month. At least in my opinion.

Yes you are right that nowadays the price of bitcoin is stable and it is not goes to increasing now because nowdays its price is stable to 4100$ and 4200$. But more, you are right, that its price will be more increasing our expectations after the months of August.

It is quite stable now around the 4300-4200. I think that something good needs to happen in order for us to see a further raise.

I'll bet more on a 4500$ bitcoin by the end of the year likely...

Bitcoin value is recovering eventually after the dip in the market value for about a week or so.
Bitcoin is currently selling at $4432.38 via CoinMarketCap | https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
Hopefully, bitcoin may recover it original market value and even grow more higher in the future.

I think August 23rd is becoming one of the biggest disappointments as far as drama for a lot of people. It seemed like they were all into arguing whether they should take place or not and then once August 1st past they just didn't care. I think they were more about the argument and less about the end result. I have not seen much of a mention at all of August 23rd, I think the solar eclipse got more attention than August 23rd did even on this forum.

Price is $4700 now.
I think after SegWit2 price will be 6000usd :)
