With Altcoins gaining ground once again, it is becoming difficult for Bitcoin to break through. What are your thoughts on the same?

Altcoins are getting back to the show because the price right now which is experiencing a dip due to shifting of Bitcoin for free Bitcoin Gold, is perfect to buy and hodl some potential altcoins. Buying activity usually increases in such cases and so is happening. But along with that Bitcoin will grow too till hard fork if the hard fork you mentioned here is Bitcoin Gold because Segwit2x hardfork might be quite disruptive. Bitcoin should cross $5k by Oct 25 according to my assumptions. Else market is way too tough to predict.

Bitcoin gold is in hype so to get bitcoin gold you have to hold bitcoins in your wallet, so this means free coins for just holding bitcoin in your wallet, so people are selling whatever alts they have to get bitcoin. And once the hardfork has been done then the people will still the coins they get and then get back to the alts which they were holding. This will lead to the decrease in price of bitcoin to where it was in the start of the pump.

Yeah people will shift over to bitcoin in time for the snapshot and then get back to whatever alt they were holding, especially after the last one and the fact that people did essentially get free money, I think it will push up to the $5,000 mark and then back down to where we are now.

You know what? i'm gonna go ahead and say $6000+

The last hard fork the price went up to everyone's surprise. So screw it, am betting it will go up again lol

Why? because bitcoin doesn't care lol

At the time of the previous fork there were a lot of uncertainty regarding the fork and people anticipated some chaos, so they

did not buy very aggressively, because they did not know what the outcome would be with the fork. Most people now see the

advantage of hoarding some coins before a fork {because they get FREE coins}, so I think there might be a better pushing

factor to motivate them to buy before the fork this time around.  ;)

My choice is 4,500 $ to 5,000 $. Because people are sure to sell bitcoins after hardfork because they're just chasing the free bitcoin gold. So I think this is the possible scenario that will happen. So be prepared if you purchased upheld in price is to think that the next time you are planning because you might lose after hardfork.

Why can't I vote guys?

I don't think it's diping that badly. Just look at the price and you'll see we are back at $4800... we are going to try again to get to the new ATH and im pretty sure the next attempt is the good one.

I would be worried if we went below $4400, but we are still clearly above the bullish trendline.

Now on the segwit2x hardfork, I expect a dip, because it's a clear attack on Bitcoin that Bitcoin must survive. Now on Gold, I think it will keep pumping through it until the segwit2x attack is launched.

Now, people expecting a split in bitcoin blockchain and the born of a new altcoin, they will try to buy more before the split. The huge demand for bitcoin in this short time will make the price rise quickly.

$4500-$5000 this is the price now and bitcoin Will not down less than 4500$ so i think bitcoin will go to the next goal after the hard fork to $5000-$5500    or  $5500-$6000 .

In my prediction it will increase by 5,500 $ to 6000 $. Since we saw in the first hardfork the bitcoins increased and because almost all of this is happening now surely the price of bitcoins will increase. Because many people will be buying Bitcoins to get free BTG (Bitcoin Gold). So now we see that the price of bitcoins is rising

Interesting you did not include any options below $4500 in your poll. There very well could be panic around the time of the fork driving the price quite a bit lower. It is only fairly recently we have been treading above that $4500 mark.

it is really not possible to say right now. it will be a shot in the dark if we try. some people compare this with the last fork (bitcoin cash one) but this is very different in my opinion. the miners were not supporting the BCH fork but this one is different, although we still have to wait and see what miners will do when the time comes but so far there is a big percentage of them supporting the fork!


because you just created this account!

In my opinion. It will increase to $ 5,000 bitcoins. Because many people buy it as it did on the first hardfork where the price of bitcoins increased. And one of the things I'm looking at is why the price increases will be that many people want to have BTG. Because you are free to receive it when you are a bitcoins holder

In my mind is told to me,  When  BITCOINCASH released btc price from under 3k$  go to 5k$.  2k$ Risen.  If btc will touch 6k$ that's won't be Amezing incident.

I see it pumping but dont have that high expectations. I mean - of course people want free money but who knows...

We cant be sure and we might able to breakthrough 5k price point on after fork but no guarantee if we do able to reach that point. For now i do choose between 5k-5.5k price which would be somehow realistic in a short period of time and would be glad if we do really able to break that resistance.

Mostly everyone is thinking that this time also the bitcoin price will rise more before and after hardfork but i think before hardfork the price can move up but after hardfork their will be some price correction before it goes up.

I think that btc keep climbing so it's perfect investion. Btw My biggest source of projects are – telegram chats. There are some much “guros” who share info what to buy/not to buy, one can find ICO that make them happy or rich. I saw big hype about Confideal in Asian communities that is quite strange.
I am waiting for big amount of ICOs but my champ is Confideal. Guys are really easy to contact, I had an opportunity to chat with CEO and really understand what product should look/work like.

I would say it shall drop a lot before rising again to $5000 levels

before october 25, bitcoin price can incraese very high
because demand or buyer bitcoin incraese, because want get bitcoin gold, same with BCH, after can split, and bitcoin holder can get bitcoin gold

Hard fork is now the major thing that boost the price of bitcoin to the next level and I'm afraid that is also what is going to hurt the original bitcoin in the future. Altcoins value grow when the value of bitcoin grow. I think bitcoin gold will be success for it;s own developers as much as how bitcoin cash did.

At first there was bitcoin cash, now sr see bitcoin gold, can't understand what these people want. Let this bitcoin to be for itself and let us to use bitcoin like we want, without additional BCC and BCG.
I think price will be 4500-5000$ or lower, not higher.
BCC caused panic in people and it didn't lower bitcoin' price, so I believe bitcoin gold can't do anything to affect it. So no need to worry, there will be stable current price.

Difficult for Bitcoin to break through? That's pure nonsense. As we speak, the price is close to showing a 400% increase since the beginning of this year, and yet people act like nothing happened, or that Bitcoin is struggling.

People simply don't understand what it takes to even keep the price above the $4000 mark, which explains why they can't seem to understand why the price doesn't bounce up much more from current levels.

At this point I see no reason for the price to top the $5000 mark in the very short term, having the November hard fork in mind. If it turns out to happen anyway, then the general demand is stronger than I initially expected it to be.

Voted for $6000+ but regret it now after thinking about the new fork, it has no support from any side of the world, I don't know why would any miner stay on a minority chain which is less profitable than the main chain? as we can see there is a storm of clones heading our way, because when people see BCH did it and now another one like BIG Wu is going to do it why shouldn't we do it? I am angry because they're not even launching a blockchain but just leeching off ETH and Waves.
With a billion dollar support for the new altcoin you should expect $4500/ $5000 and with $5 billion it won't reach any higher than $5500.

At the time of the first hard fork bitcoin prices soar, and hopefully the upcoming bitcoin hard fork can reach $6000, see today bitcoin much sought and bought people.

in my opinion, bitcoin will at $4500-$5000 after fork and then maybe the price can increase more and altcoin from the ground can rise again. its difficult situations for altcoin to increase because many people is holding their bitcoin because they are waiting what next will be happen after the fork and this is makes altcoin to go down a moment. but I am not too worried with this and I still believe that altcoin will increase again after bitcoin reach the higher position and gets stable for a while.

With the bitcoin rally today, it is all set to cross $6000 now. Also, it will be featured a lot more in the mainstream media as it has reached its All time high, i believe a lot of new investors are going to jump into the market.

Right, every time that bitcoin reaches a new ATH there are a swathe of articles that always bring new investors. Still 6k is a few days away in the absolute best case scenario, more likely a few weeks.

No it will surpass bro before the end of 2017 .but I had bad feelings about this hard fork which is there's a possibility that bitcoin will fall deeper again. Because i think there a lot of traders sell their bitcoin early cause of some reason that it will fall again when bitcoin reached their speculation value. Is that possible that bitcoin will fall again if the 50% of  btc holders sell their bitcoin right away because of eagerly reason?

Yes I agree with you that the price will high very soon bitcoin have faced a lot of hard fork and I think bitcoin knows how to handle hard fork because I remember when china banned bitcoin so that hard fork was unbelievable for bitcoin that how bitcoin will come out from that situation but bitcoin not only fight with china but make himself more stronger and popular than ever.

Expecting run to 6k in upcoming days and then dip.. manipulating whales can create a possibility to buy more prior to the hard fork.

Yes we're actually near in $6000 this week like we almost touches it and now the price plays in $5700 and it's still profited to all of us.
If we hit $6000 before the hard fork so we can assume that the price during hard fork will be around $6500 and with just a little correction because of the big whales but surely it can cling in that price.

I think it will increase after the hard fork only till then it will consolidate at 5700$. Many people are not bothering about the BCH, Bitcoin Gold, there bothering is what is the value of Bitcoin after Oct 25th. We have to wait and see how the market is going to react after the Hard Fork.

I think the hardfork will decrease the BTC price. Probably from a new ATH.
And that altcoins will bounce is very likely. Question remains which of them, as I doubt all will bounce, and how much will they bounce.
However as soon as we got some clarity how China will treat Bitcoin and cryptos in the future, and LedgerX enters the stage, Bitcoin could easily moon again!

Bitcoin will rise rapidly in price until October 25. At this time, the price of all altcoins will fall. After the fork, the price of bitcoin will drop but remain above $ 5,000. At this time begins to rise in the price of all altcoins. I am sure that it will.

Basing the prediction from the previous Aug. 1 hard fork, we might see BTC prize dumping before the upcoming hard fork. This moment will become an opportunity buying good amount of bitcoin. The after the hard fork, we can expect the sudden pumping with its value. Hard fork will also affect the altcoin value, its actually dumping now maybe because people are exchanging it with BTC for the preparation of hard fork. But it will definitely rise its value after the fork. 

I think we are only going up from here until the segwit fork.

explanation: people are buying in bitcoin now to get free btcgold---->people expect it to be like BCH and and for it to be worth around 600$. ------> People get disappointed in BTCgold actual price-------> Big dumping of BTCgold to BTC.=BTC keeps raising.

That is what I believe but hey, who knows in this world. 

IMO the price will be between $6-7K, due to the fact of people wanting Bitcoin Gold. They saw how Bitcoin Cash was awarded the last time and they dont want to miss out this time. Then Bitcoin Gold will get dumped for BTC. This in turn will cause the BTC price to go down as people will sell what they made from Bitcoin Gold into cash, as it was free.
Good Luck to All!

I’m not so sure that it is going to happen in that way, why would they sell their bitcoin after the bitcoin gold hard fork when there is going to be another fork just a month afterwards, maybe what you say could happen but only some weeks after the segwit2x hard fork that is going to happen in November.

The fork is near and i hope the price will increase more. But we dont know actually the price of bitcoin after fork or furibg fork. But I hope the price of bitcoin after fork will become 6000 dollars like last fork in the month of july after fork the price increasw and I hope it will happen again. We need unity here dont sell your bitcoin just hold your bitcoin and you will earn a lot of profit if you do that ...

I think there are two main reasons for the forks, one is to try to weaken bitcoin, the more bitcoin clones out there the most difficult is to discern the real bitcoin for someone not informed like us and the second is money, miners have found a way to print an unlimited amount of coins and put bitcoin name in them.

Possible we will reach $7000 soon near the date of the hardfork. Because users will be having more btc due to bitcoin gold. Maybe bitcoin price will decrease after the hard fork, actually its hard to speculate the price but let's see its movement.

If it breaks 6000, I believe it will be around 6500 come fork time.  I except a slight dip 2 days before the fork though.

Interesting. I have been expecting for the price to go down days before the hardfork and for it to go up after but with this bitcoin gold, that may happen. It really is hard to say what the price may be and to speculate - you never know what to expect. I didn't expect the price to be as high as it is today and I believe that it will continue to increase until it breaks to $6000. If that doesn't happen, then there could be some dips during the hard fork. I hope the price won't fall as much during that time.

I think the statusquo will remain. We are going to be swing from 5000 to 5500.

There are too many things happening at the same time to think things are going to remain the same, it is simply the most unlikely of the scenarios, even an scenario where bitcoin goes down makes more sense than nothing changing, however the most likely scenario is that bitcoin surpasses 6000 dollars after the fork.
