Bitcoin Forum

I read in several Newspaper that experts think the Bitcoin is gonna crash soon. What do you think? ???

What makes these people experts?
Who named them experts?

Experts predicted that Trump will not become president.
Experts predicted that Brexit vote would fail.
Experts predicted that the world would run out of oil by the year 2000.

I don't trust experts.

Where did you get that information? Try to provide the information here and we all do joint analysis.
If the price increases and decreases is normal because the properties of bitcoin have very rapid price fluctuations. In the event of a crash there may be news that can be very influential. Seeing now it seems that I'm not too sure that the price of bitcoin will decrease significantly, there should be an explanation that reinforces this.

I hope so, so I can buy cheap BTC.

Is this for real or just another hoax news?  :'(

It's not even hoax news, it's just some newbie troll shit posting. Nothing to see here.

1. nobody can speculate about bitcoin
2. what does crash mean? if it means going down to $3500 and coming back up afterwards then they are probably true.
but if they mean it will drop down to $2000 or lower then they are full of shit.
3. stop reading newspaper about bitcoin. about 2 weeks ago they were saying bitcoin price will reach $500000 by the end of 2017. did you believe that also? if not why do you believe this one then?

i think that "experts" youve mentioned are those people hates/never been in this society (bitcoin). most of "experts" has a potential of 2% possibilities/chance that they prediction will happen. but not at all. more prediction from those "experts" are trash/wasting of time if you got an attention from them.

how can they prove that bitcoin gonna crash soon. as you can see the bitcoin is getting more successful until this day, more and more successful day by day, so how it gonna crash if it continuing success. as you can see more projects drives in bitcoin, more investors are driving in bitcoin so how they can tell it will happen? "experts youve mentioned are getting you in a wrong way.but its up to you if you decide to listen to them and packed up you things to get you out in the world of bitcoin.

Links? I'd love to see some mainstream analysts predicting a crash, because all I see is more and more hype from CNBC and the like, which is pretty scary to think about. Everyone seems to think we are headed for $10-15k, if not $100k, and soon! It almost makes me tempted to sell.

I'll keep hodling tight, but people on this forum sure don't make it easy... :)

You read several newspaper that Bitcoin will crash.
sounds really informative for me,honestly speaking i read such a thing too.
but it's the opposite of your statement,i read a hundred newspaper,article,webpage and others about Bitcoin price will be huge in the coming year.
They said it will hit another ATH every next year,and in 3 years from now on we will see $500.000 dollars.
so what do you think ?

i just want to say,you're already old enough and don't be like a ten years old kid,
you should understand what is fact and rumour,
it will go down in the future,but it doesn't mean Bitcoin will crash.
today you go up,tomorrow you will go down just like that

i think it is just a correction ,we will be up again , to da moon

Nope, otherwise bitcoin will increase again soon. Especially when the bitcoin cash price crash, bitcoin will goes up again. Just be ready and wait for it. Don't trust so much with experts think, actually why the newspaper call him expert though ? I think just don't think hard about that and continue your work.

First, this should be in the Speculation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0) section.

Second, most of these "experts" tend to know nothing about bitcoin's price movement in general and correlate what's happening in bitcoin's market to the conventional stock markets.

Third, 99.9% of the predictions of these "experts" go the other way around.

Don't trust experts.

Can you mention one of the links from the article you read? I am curious about the expert you are talking about whether he or she is a Bitcoin expert or just a person who pretends to be an expert.

All those experts are using technical analysis (if they use any analysis at all), which many people believe isn't very reliable. Also, traditional traders just can't comprehend the idea of something growing at high rates, so screaming "bubble" is like a natural response for them. Also, there are lots of FUDsters who are shilling for Bcash or other altcoin, and overall Bitcoin was always surrounded by FUD from different sides. This doesn't mean that it can't crash, but there are no educated arguments why it should crash.

Well it is just only speculation but i would agree a bit for those experts because we could look the price right now it is really high and sort of the characteristic of bitcoin is if it is in the top it goes down immediately and after that it goes up more, it really happen many times though we couldnt really predict what the price, we could only do a speculation if it crash then we should take advantage to it  :D

Yes bitcoin prices have corrected and had fallen below the previous price. But now the bitciin price has returned to the positive track. We wait until later bitcoin prices can be better than a few days ago. Bitcoin prices are experiencing unstable conditions, we should all keep monitoring prices to avoid losses.

There are lots of FUDsters who are shilling for Bitcoin Core success on this forum and think we'll hit 10k next month... BTW Bcash is a fork of Zcash available in 2018. Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cash.

Money is not made in bitcoin, money is made in altcoins with future. Bitcoin = digital gold and a payment system for geeks with high fees... Real payment system will probably be OMG (OmiseGo).

Yup! there is no such thing us crashing down this time around and he is providing lack information and where and what article he got this kind of issue, this is certainly  FUD Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt that bitcoin would surely gone another level of a safe floor, Maybe bitcoin have a stable condition but that is how bitcoin surely works and the number of positive feed back regarding bitcoin now a so much that the number of uncertainty and doubt.

LoL, agreed. ;D ;D
What kind of newspaper? I don't see it around, as most of those news are just speculation or FUD as a way to misleading people.
Bitcoin does fluctuate, sometime increases and decrease, but current situation of the market seems support bitcoin and more adopters keep coming and join into bitcoin community. There are a lot of bitcoin acceptance news and being used in various sectors, from business, merchants and companies.

In recent months (mainly due to the increased price) there have been a huge load of these so called self-appointed-experts popping up, throwing around with their baseless thoughts and predictions. None of them have actually made any sort of significant contribution to understand what Bitcoin is, or why it has value in the first place. The news sites these "experts" are working for, are only out to jump on the next big thing in an attempt to gain visitors and subscribers, and that next big thing happens to be Bitcoin. If we had to believe these idiots, Bitcoin would have been worthless already. Always do your own research instead of taking things coming from whatever news source for granted.

Without proper citation and resources we can't verify their claims. Might just be a hoax to scare people off and dump their coins so people involved in spreading those rumours can invest when the price falls. Please don't believe everything you read in the internet. Make sure you are collecting information from a trusted source.

Whenever the Bitcoin price is in uptrend, many so called experts start calling it a bubble. Bitcoin was in uptrend since the starting of this year. The only huge and a month long dip came in July that all because of the uncertainties created by fork and not because of the natural correction. With many investors turning to cryptocurrencies, demand is quite high this year and is still is. Thus, the price will keep on increasing with a small term ups and downs in future.

Experts have no idea if bitcoin will crash, just like they have no idea if it will go up in value vastly. People claiming they called it got lucky mostly. I also think long term technical analysis is also bullshit.

Haha you couldn't read that, you are a liar!!! Why didn't you share the links? One more fud thread started by a newbie, I wonder who paid you to open account here and post this nonsenses.
I always get a bit annoyed when I see threads like this one, shit people can't do anything good and then they are trying to draw attention in anyway possible.
I also wonder did you really opened account here just to post this thread and disappear after like many other fudsters? Probably yes, Cryptoticker I will remember your username for sure!

Those are just some bull shit posted by biased authors, also don't follow any analysis or trading advises you will find on internet. Do your own research before believing in such shits.

Bitcoin might have some correction but it will not crash because there is nothing in near future that can have negative effect on bitcoin's price.

It's coming down below ~$4k now, I suppose it'll correct itself a bit more, going down even more. It's hard to say why it's getting even higher in value nowadays, so it's pretty reasonable to expect a crash soon IMO.

Well, for us small fish, I agree that money is made most easily with altcoins. But I put that money into BTC. :P OMG (OmiseGo)? Never even heard of it. Terrible name, though, so I wonder how they'll market it.


I'm not sure what "expert" even means here. I don't think that financial analysts trained in traditional markets should be in a position of authority here. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a whole new asset class, and there are no precedents for them.

Bitcoin crashed hard off of $1100 a few years ago, that was in the newses as well.
Long term it didn't matter for shit though, huh.

Anyone can proclaim an expert in terms of bitcoin market. And what's new with the movement of bitcoin's market and price? I'm already expecting that there's a crash that'll happen very soon. But I guess it already happened, the price went back at $4k upon reaching $4.4k and this probably the crash.

Experts prediction has nothing to do with bitcoin price.Already,expersts who call themselves like that predicted many times that bitcoin is going to die and sometimes that bitcoin price is going to increase,but none of their predictions proved to be correct all the time.So,lets leave it.Bitcoin is getting legalized in many countries and getting populr world wide.so,we could ourselves easily predict that bitcoin is going to have a great future.

interesting, thank you :)

Absolutely Not. If anything they will only increase in value, as more people adopt the technology more and more people will bring the value up. There's only so many bitcoins. When they stop mining the value will increase exponentially.

This is not like the Fiat currency the concept is different and the Bitcoin is not going to crash.

This is is literally magic Internet money.

Yes, this currency is significantly different from Fiat. Bitcoin is stronger than Fiat in some countries. Its value is constantly growing and will grow, because it depends on popularity. He has not yet reached the peak of popularity, and hence the peak of his price

Ok, here's the thing, there are no so called 'experts' in bitcoin because no one can really predict the price. Well there is graph but it could only guide us as to where the price moves. This is just FUD, if bitcoin could have crashed, it should happened before. But bitcoin didn't and even soar high after a big crash. And besides, you don't believed everything you see or read in the Internet. So to answer your question, I don't think that bitcoin will crash. Actually, is the opposite, the price will go up every year because its getting difficult to earn bitcoin. And 2 years from now, there will be 'halving' which makes mining difficult, pushing the price to new heights. So itself of speculating that it will crash, I advise you to buy bitcoin and hold on it for the long haul.

They are just so damn jealous  ;D. If it is going to crush soon, i think the possible reason will be legality and the government's meddling in the matter. I wish they will not put their dirty hands on it. 

we are in 2017, shit is soooo complicated that nobody honestly can call himslef an expert as there are no experts even in the traditional sock market. maybe there are only few whales that can drive the market but no models or analisys can predict short-time price movements. on the contrary you don't need to be an expert to understand that bitcoin (as well as other altcoins) will go to the moon price side in the long run

I do not care if bitcoin crash now, maybe it's time for bitcoin to crash, I will not panic about the news, because I'm sure bitcoin will increase again because I see in this year the bitcoin movement is very positive after there is stability as now most likely the price will be crash and will increase again because the next bitcoin goal is $5000.

First thing is, what kind of newspaper? You should mentioned it in here.
Then, who are these experts? Just self-appointed-experts as they claim themselves like that?
Last, crash mean? If bitcoin price drop back as much $1000-$2000, is it crash? I don't think so, it just another discount time.
Nothing for sure about what will happen in the future, but at least we have some clues and some repeated pattern regarding bitcoin price.
So, I'm sure bitcoin more likely continue to rise instead of crash.

Newspaper and experts just need attention, you are fulfilling their wish.
No one in the world could anticipate Bitcoin rise or decline especially in the season when there isn't any big event coming which could have big impact on BTC prices.
When we say decentralized, do include such rumor or FUD spreaders too. They are also integral part of Bitcoin's decentralization feature i.e. decentralization in freedom of speech. :D
Simply ignore such rumors and keep believing in Bitcoin.

These all are just rumors to make people stop believing in bitcoin. Just see the reaction of newbies and you will understand the effect of such rumors in this forum or in real world. There are always people who panic after hearing such news (even if they are not true) and they spread this news all around, and as it is said, "A lie said a lot, becomes a truth." which means if everyone or maybe a lot of people start believing in this, it will surely affect the price of bitcoin.

It depends on what you define by crash.
In the world of stocks a price decrease of 10% is already a major crash.
In the cryptocurrency world it's just something like a rather bad day. Maybe even recompensated tomorrow.
Corrections can come every time.
A real crash (I'm talking about 70% loss) I doubt that. It would need a trigger for that to happen and don't see something like that.
Not even a possible fork of bitcoin.

The rising Lately was so significant that one has to expect a significant clash in future. If the pumping is coming from bitcoin Cash owners the there may be correction but if it traders that is the one influencing the market then we expect the clash. 

You seemed to be annoyed to those 'experts people' they said. lol. Anyway everyone has their own opinion and not everyone is perfect. They can fool other people but not everyone. Those experts are trying to spread some rumor about bitcoin, i don't know if this is another scam scheme or what but people who knows what bitcoin is will not actually believe them, they were just talking not doing something for the greater good to our crypto world.

Forget the rumours about Bitcoin going to crash, the mainstream media is falling over each other to predict higher and higher prices of Bitcoin. Some are going as far as to project 6 digit figures. While you have doomsday scenarios on one hand, you also have very bullish predictions.

There is possibility that bitcoin can be crash soon but with my own analyze i think bitcoin can be stay strong in this price because the trends still strong if you can see the trends in google trends its still in demand so more possibility that the price of bitcoin can be increase more instead the price of bitcoin can be crash. look at the market if you seen the price was decrease sooner there are traders can be a lots of bitcoin and increase its value so i think they are many people are waiting for the drop price of bitcoin and buy that is why we are still in a good price.. 

I hope so, it means an opportunity for those who missed the last pump.

many news we know and we read in out there especially in online news and offline newspaper, but i think we need ourself to prepare for the bad thing that might be happen in bitcoin world because the thing will not be the same in every day. so if we are ready and we have prepared, then if the price is suddenly drop and down too far, we are not surprise and we can survive for the hardest moment in bitcoin. maybe bitcoin will crash after this but as long as we can handle with good and the important thing is we don't panic, then we can pass this and we can still make money.

I think Bitcoin is starting to crash now but we must not get afraid instead take this opportunity to buy bitcoin and invest I know this crash will not take too long and bitcoin value will increase again and maybe it will reach $5000 before the end of 2017. We must be ready for whatever situation bitcoin is going thru it's the nature of bitcoin the fluctuations is what makes bitcoin popular.

What crash? If you have been around long enough, you would see this as a opportunity and not a crisis. You have to remember that Bitcoin is still relatively small in comparison to other commodities, like gold. This makes market manipulation by whales much easier, because a few Bitcoin whales can easily "fake" a mini dump or even fake a "spike" in the price.

I get exited when I see these mini dumps, because I see big profits when I buy low and sell high. < Buy on the dip, as we say >

The lower it goes, the more profit I make when it gets pumped again. This has happened over and over again and people who has been around for a longer time, know this. < We eat all the smaller fish, when they panic >

Today people are behaving as if Bitcoin should only go up but not down. Just a dip $200 doesn't means that it is a crash. It is just a natural volatility of Bitcoin. Why so much fear out of nothing?

Enjoy these dips for buying some more!

If you see the price of bitcoin today decrease but I think it will back again to the current price after few days and it will increase more to the current price. Many news, articles that bitcoin crash but actually we dont know when exact happen maybe today, tomorrow , next year. But I hope bitcoin will live long in the next few years so many people earn money with the help of bitcoin. More bitcoin more profit.

Maybe they are just self proclaimed experts. It is difficult to trust those experts since Bitcoin predictions are difficult to be accurate. Well maybe they are just whales that are planning to dump some Bitcoins so that they can trigger panic selling any time soon. That would make sense if ever their prediction will happen.

If you look at the price chart of Bitcoin there's always a crash after a major increase in price for Bitcoin, but it always ends up going back up and reaching even beating it's previous price when it starts to increase in value again. As time goes on and more people start to learn about Bitcoin cryptocurrency I think it'll continue to rise for at least a few more years.

I think bitcoin is now down by 20% - that's a substantial chunk of change at these price levels.

You are right that in the alt space, that is nothing, and that would also have been nothing in the early days of bitcoin. But the volatilitu should be dampening down as bitcoin gets bigger, not staying the same.

I can not call it a fall. This is a recession that bitcoin periodically has after a long growth. It was anticipated and many predicted it. Now everything is normal. And after the coin sinks to 3500, it will start to rise again
