"What if hedge funds buy bitcoin as an investment?"
"What if investors use bitcoin as a store of value?"
"What if bitcoin is used primarily as a currency?"
Bitcoin is not yet used primarly as a currency, and not much investors use bitcoin as a store of value. But in the actual market, the exchange boost the bitcoin price to the moon with new records every day. What's next with this crypto madness?  Can we still discuss bitcoin as a Bubble?

Share your ideas about Bitcoin in the actual Market.

They are regulating crypto exchanges and block large amounts of cash, now I can only get enough money for one simple jumping round, if I try to cash out more, they will not allow me. if people could sell their Bitcoins, price wouldn't be $9878.

I think now many will start selling bitcoin and it will become a little cheaper. But it will not be long, in a few days it will again resume the increase in value.

Bitcoins next move might be going down rapidly after reaching 10k$ milestone. I heard rumors that operation to bring down bitcoin and let BCH take over is being conspired. Even if they are to get on with their plan, all they can do is bring down btc price. For now, enjoy the high price of btc. Always have some fiat ready to rebuy some bitcoin. My estimate is that this plan will be set in motion within the last week of december, maybe earlier.

What is the meaning of sell bitcoin now? Do you think that $ 10,000 is the limit for bitcoin? Now the bitcoin is on the wave of success. Every day there will be new users. Now we need to aim for $ 11,000. Any positive news will only increase the value of bitcoin. I am sure that next year the trade area will begin to use bitcoins as means of payment for goods.

After 10k, bitcoin wil down as resistance then continue to the moon.
Actually bitcoin is crypto currency, main fuction if we see bitcoin from name is currency.
So far, i dont see many people use bitcoin as currency. Why?

Although correction on the price is expected, I hope they would come when the price reached $12,000. Why? So that resistance would be around $10,000 (I guess) and that is good starting point again for bitcoin price to have again a rally.

This is exciting and stressful at the same time. Enjoy HODLing.

This happen so many times and people should realize this thing now that no matter how dump bitcoin gets it is bouncing back and go even higher. I can see bitcoin at the price of $12k and road to $20k next year, a lot of people are now believing on this great technology that can help many people earn more money.

It is expected that 10k target before it reaches or might be when it reaches it will fall a bit and small correction may take place. Also from 9.3k to this level there has not being any big news at which pace the rates have shoot up. So possible to test at 10k levels if it can sustain it or a crash can happen.

A lot of people don't even know about cryptocurrency and the ones who do know don't trust it because they are not informed well.
For the ones that use it, the fees and the slow transaction time are likely a determinant factor.
I am confident that Bitcoin will become more faster with less fees and people will use it more and more making it more valuable.
Hedge funds are in now so we will see.
 

For anyone interested...I started the below thread

going to give my 2 week notice from work

I can retire w/o touching my mining income or crypto (at least till mining may puke in say July of 2018)

but it took 10k BTC to plop on my head from the sky for me to sit down and figure this out!

I mean BTC 1 year ago today was $705 per USD! and as I type this it is, $9,839 per USD!

Thus it took this price jump, to make me sit down and look my situation over...


here is the link

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2478034.msg25373311#msg25373311 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2478034.msg25373311#msg25373311)

post what you think....post when you may also pull the trigger....take the poll...

but man, if it goes up as much from today than it did from 1 year ago today....we'd be looking at

$137,313.36 usd per BTC!

Damn, that can't happen, somewhere around 31k or so, I'd have a heart attack based on 'pure joy' :)

brad

What's next? Who knows it can take another leap as correction price is far from happening "at least" on the current status of the trend.

Because bitcoin price established again another ATH, expect it will take a spotlight again at economic section of the news resulting again for big exposure that can touched even local news. Right now, Im receiving messages from those who aren't interested at first on how to earn bitcoin asking guidance.

Well congrats for those who take advantages of FUD and becoming patient to wait for the price bloom. Still feel sorry for those who are still waiting for $3,000 before they will buy bitcoin.

Oh
😮 Thats a new thing that I have heard about...
But I don't think there is a limit..till.
0.5 bitcoins.

Anyways... The idea of bitcoins being decentralized is now into shackles if whatever you said is true..

Also if they are limiting big exchanges wouldn't it be better to.. do a number of small ones ?

I don't really this for long enough will bitcoins be able to keep its status of being decentralized ..if continous instances like this happens this often.

10k might be a psychological barrier for many people so they can start selling it. Bitcoin had a long time growing and I'm pretty sure that we have to expect a correction. The problem is that if it will keep its growth now then the more painfull correction we all gona have. Imho if you are not planning to hodl for a long time then now is a good moment to think about reinvesting money from cryptos to stocks.
UPD: take a look on BTC price on different exchanges. It it about 900$ more on asien exchanges for now. Why the gap is so big?
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

What goes up must come down. So , yea , I'm waiting for bitcoin to crash to be honest. This price is insane ! Don't buy at this price guys , stay away from btc for now.

Are you sick? How not to buy bitcoin at such stable growth? What do you suggest to buy? Maybe you offer nothing to buy? Right. Let's keep it Fiat. Why do we need the money. We sponsor banks and receive interest on the Deposit which will be enough only to cover inflation. Lol! You need to see a psychiatrist.

Bitcoin will reach 12000 USD soon. It is neither good or bad because if you look at the advantages, there are also disadvantages.

exactly what I feel right now, I'm happy seeing the price really jumping but its harder now to make an entry or also to use your bitcoin unlike before when
you can easily trade it to fiat when you need some funds and buy again when you have some extra money, but after this value I guess its a hard decision
whether to use and exchange it or much prefer of holding it and wait for another height.

Due to decentralized of bitcoin ,the price of bitcoin is keeps on increasing.Not even a American goverment can control this price of bitcoin,bitcoin has that much power.Next value is 11 or 12k$ at this year end or before that.

Everyone thinks that bitcoin is an smart way of investment and it will give huge return in the long term investments.So many new investors are started to invest on everyday so the price of bitcoin also keeps increasing everyday.
But the bitcoin was launched to use an currency but still no places are accepting bitcoin as mode of payment so it needs time to use bitcoin as a primary currency but bitcoin community needs to reduce the transaction fee to use it everywhere.

Now that it has surged that high, its either it continue increasing or crash. It will increase depending on how many investors are still willing to buy and invest despite the high price. It will crash, once holders stop holding and return the coins int he market after cash out.

Yes, several regulatory agencies which includes the United States and Europe are waging an all out war on crypto currencies and they are launching their attacks through the exchanges and all other points of  money transmission.


Why is this happening, or why are they trying to do this to me?

Please be advised that this is not a war on crypto currencies, but a war on the people as they fear a mass exodus from the financial system. A mass exodus would be a loss of centralized control of the money supply and of the people through sweat equity.

Their aim is to try and slow adoption and its overall use by attacking all the exit points such as the exchanges and money transmitters. Such regulatory bodies include, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), SEC (the Securities and Exchange Commission), and the U.S Internal Revenue Service.

Their other chief objective is to make an example out of you by either trapping you in the old financial system or locking you out of it. If they can trap you in their system then they can either extort you, jail you, fine you, or sue you. If they can lock you out of the system, then they'll seize any asset as evidence under suspicion that is directly connected to your name, freeze your accounts, and they'll even send a Financial Crimes Enforcement Unit after you by use of your registered address on file that's with the bank.

Why would they be going after Bitcoin Now? Can't they just shut it down?

They've realized that they cannot simply shut down Bitcoin or impact such a strong and resilient distributed network, they've tried for years and Bitcoin became stronger and more immune to their attacks as a result. However, they can go around the asset its self by blocking as many centralized exits as possible.

Once Bitcoin reaches an evaluation-price of at least $10,000 or more then -- I would highly advice for you to have another plan available because that will trigger the International Money Laundering Act. Most local to medium sized banks are only allowed to ensure deposits of up to $20,000.00, and are required to report deposits of up to  $10,000 and over to the IRS. If amounts of $5,000.00 are suddenly transferred after a $10,000 +  deposit then it triggers bank security policies, and you're in trouble, real deep shit.

You would be subject to seizure which is known as Civil Asset Forfeiture, which constitutes funds that can be legally seized under the presumption of illegal money transmission.

So, what kind of trouble are we talking about?

At this point ( depending on where you are) the bank would have submitted all your information to either the FBI or Interpol,  or at least all the information you submitted to them when you first opened the account. If you opened the account online then the bank has your IP address and had submitted that information too. An investigation takes place on all data and meta data gathered, two weeks later an all- out and unholy raid from Hell is performed on your address location, which is hopefully not your place of residence.

Now listen really close – Police officers don’t simply visit your home as they used to, they’re not the kind and friendly men and women that many government supporters believe. Under these circumstances, it’s every man for himself. They’ll rip your door down, take black boots to anyone’s ass they see in sight,  strip you of your humanity, berate you, beat you, mace you, slam you to the floor and shove their knees into your face, call you boy , fagot, fucker and they’ll even spit on you. A perceived white collar crime that went unanswered is the worse, being raided on a presumption is even worse.  If you have young children in the house they’ll slap them around , mace them, and even shove their fingers up their ass; they’ll literally beat the snot out of them, and torture you into a state of delirium so that you do something that will give them a reason to kill you, anything,  just so that they can kill you.

This is horrible! Tell me why again? If they seized my bank account because of a few Bitcoins why would they want to come after me?

Because the assumption of a major crime is the worse, especially one that went unanswered without legal intervention; it gives them time to imagine the worse about you, to build the worse case imaginable on their terms. Its all about money, the modern courtroom is a money racket designed to rob you of sweat equity.

And to them money is always worth more than you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re guilty or innocent. Have you ever heard the saying, lawyers make the laws?  It’s true, if you’re rich you’re innocent until proven guilty. If not – then you’re always guilty, if they can’t make money from you then you’re disposable. And when you’re middle-class you pay them for wasting their time, you plead guilty when innocent and either pay the fine or go to jail. And when you’re homeless you go straight to jail. They even have illegal jails in the courtroom where they can stick you in without anything to eat.

Remember:
And if you never received a notice (which you’ll never get because the banks keep quiet) then you’ll never have a chance to plead your case – unless you have a lawyer to intervene and he’ll eloquently describe to you the situation, the best lawyer will say .. “GET YOUR A$$ OUT OF THAT HOUSE!”  

"Only a good lawyer knows that it’s easier to defend a Freeman than one who is presumed guilty."

How do I completely avoid this kind of head ache?

If you have a significant amount of capital in Bitcoin or any form of Crypto Asset I would suggest you get it out of your Legal name and IP address as soon as possible. Have a private wealth management lawyer  create a secure wealth management plan by using a series of legal entities such as corporations, trusts, and LLCs in the Bitcoin Friendly state of Nevada. On June 5th  The state of Nevada had passed senate Bill 398 which blocks local state government entities from taxing all Blockchain transactions.   And legitimate repositioning of assets from you to an irrevocable trust is perfectly legal and makes for the perfect wealth transfer vehicle to safeguard assets.

The strategy is quite simple, legal, and painless. Your assets are owned by a subchapter S. Corporation or a Limited Liability Company and in turn the shares of the Sub S or membership units of the LLC are owned by the irrevocable trust, it's the fortress of Exclusive Asset Protection. The key to the transfer is the exchange of equal value in return for the asset, or the receipt of a fair market value for the asset transferred.

The re-positioning of assets means that you will no longer own them. If you don't own assets, no one will want to sue you; no one will want to track you; no one will want to know your name. You don't have to go offshore. Nevada’s Blockchain Asset protection through senate Bill 398 will legally defend and support your asset protection system.

A Re-loadable Wirex Bitcoin debitcard card in place of a bank account can be created for such an entity for disbursement of shares to allow you the freedom, control , and security you deserve when managing a lucrative asset. With the option to withdraw or load funds from any domestic or International location you’ll rest easy knowing you’ve got the right structure to help mitigate any situation.

Bitcoin rapidly increasing high and reach $10k, there are many rumors and fudsters about it but it continue to increase. Yes in this current situation the outcomes is always may up and dump in cryptocurrency. So, the point is let's be ready on the next story about bitcoin.

I agree with this. Firstly, there shouldn't be any problems with cashing out Bitcoin. If you can't do it on one exchange go to another one. There are many of them and I'm sure there are no agreement whatsoever on blocking large amounts, so I don't understand what digaran is talking about. Secondly, yes, Bitcoin is still undervalued. There are much more people in the world who would buy BTC only if they knew what it is. Unbelievable but true, many rich people still have no idea.

Huge psych barrier to pass and for what its worth it was passed on KRN exchanges not American ones with the USD pairing. Let's hold off yet because even if it touches at 10k it may retract quite good giving the recent surge up as well as the barrier. Both signs to me signal a correction is incoming how big I don't know.

Bitcoin is not a bubbles yet and in years to come  $100,000 maybe the next target. We should be thankful for blockchain discovered as this has the potential of making investors millionaires and I believe that is were we are going. One of the leading hedge funds manager said of recent that "before December 2018 Bitcoin may be above  $40,000" and I seriously believe in this projection.

The futures market that is upcoming could bring stability to the price of Bitcoin. Many people see this type of investment as a negative because when you buy, you aren’t really buying Bitcoins. However, one positive is more stability but another positive is that it may make Bitcoin more legitimate in the eyes of many skeptics that see Bitcoin as a black market currency for illegal activities.

I think next one is 15k$. LOL. But I think it'll take few months for Bitcoin price to reach to 15k$ cause I think that in next few days there will be a big dump in Bitcoin price because of the whales trying to buy some more low price Bitcoin before it's the last time they see Bitcoin price under 10k$ :))

Yeah, common corrections do come after strong showings like this. Hopefully right after that first correction we bust through 10,000. I don't see 15k being too far off if the growth continues like it has been for the past few months. I find it amazing how the China FUD has led to this -- I would have assumed that bitcoin would have been dead! Just makes you think how much further this darn coin can go.

I have one good thought about the bitcoin if it is used as store value by the investors and new crypto lovers.
Well, anything that has value and which is stored for long time will gain more dominance with the time leading to higher rates of bitcoin. The value for it will increase, because as the time will be passing more bitcoin must be in circulation. But as the investors will be having bitcoins locked away those number would be uncounted and thus the price will rise automatically to take them out. May be this speculation could be true because that’s what happening right now.

Currently bitcoins have entered the investment assets of the business.
Forget it for dreaming bitcoins will going become as a primarily currency. Everyone also knows that with bitcoins price as going to moon . We don't have to think complicated to make profit, just buying and holding, in some weeks or few month you will get much passive profit without doing anything. This is what interest in bitcoins nowadays.

Some analysts, like Ronnie Moas, see Bitcoin rising to the $15,000 – $20,000 value by 2020. However, there are some analysts that believe that the key digital cryptocurrency will hit the $1 million level. Yet, which of the predictions are right – you never know.
The Limited supply of bitcoins may push the prices high and at the same time any crackdown by govt will take the price crumbling !

All do have the possibilities but talking already on $1M price per bitcoin is already an unrealistic thing to happen and imagine what would be the total cap when its price is like that? For sure it will surpass any local fiat currencies which isnt a possible thing on where government would let this thing to happen. for now we did able to break 10k then whats next then it would be 11k and further more.

I bet it will grow to 15k in the next 2 months

Everything can happen in the future of Bitcoin but one thing is for sure now it is not a bubble, it is going up and up like there is no tomorrow, this is the first time in the history of Bitcoin that it increased for more than $4,000 in just 1 month.

For some people that still think that it is a bubble then let them be but the bubble that they are saying is going bigger that I think will go stronger and popping it will become impossible.

I see Bitcoin now as an asset that has a capability of appreciation over time and spending it like a digital currency on a daily basis is not a choice for me. Hodl your Bitcoins!.

I don't know what will happen if bitcoin reached 10k but i know there will be a huge selling going on after bitcoin reached 10k so, i'll be expecting a price crash in early 2018 but i still want to bitcoin to keep on rising to be honest bitcoin is now a fastest growing asset in the world imagine in just 10 months, bitcoin grew 1000% from the price of bitcoin in early 2017 which is around 1000 from that time

OP, you raised so many questions at a time, though very nice ideas but I would respond to two of them.

What next with bitcoin after hitting $10,000 is that, personally, I expect a retracement and my reason is simply instinct being that it has been on a long bullish journey .

The second response is the last part of your questions. Yes, it is still seen as a bubble by economists.

Bitcoin hasn't been around for many years, yet it may be fair to say its price has a tendency to peak towards the end of the year during the holidays. This could be due to seasonal demand, black friday & christmas sales. If the consensus price reaches $10k (bitcoin is trading as high as $18,500 on some african exchanges) it could stay $10k throughout 2018. A big part of the equation is how many users bitcoin has, how many users it will gain and how many users it is engineered to handle.

The respective price surge and bitcoin bandwagon hoppers appear to be drowning out notions of btc being a bubble at the moment. There is a danger bitcoin could become a bubble if its value becomes disproportionate to its fundamental metrics. One thing which reduces the likelihood of it becoming a bubble is its price hike being driven more by demand than market manipulation or gimmicks. A case could be made for bitcoin's rising value being fueled by fundamental market forces. This could imply the massive spike in value is sustainable and will continue into 2018.

Thank you Elegion for your well thought out and through answer. It is definitely a lot to think so it would be best to be safe. Would a hardware wallet be the best way to avoid many of these issues and get the coins off the exchanges? How would one scrub records from the exchanges or keep the exchanges from releasing the info to the government. I believe that personal confidentiality is very important and I would not be part of any exchange that doesn't respect that principle.

There are really nice news. In fact when overcoming such significant amounts, the asset usually rises sharply. We are waiting for 11.000$ as soon as possible.

Bitcoin breaking the 10k barrier is just the beginning, I think this will bring in a lot of new money and we will soon see bitcoin pushing towards 15k. I think we can reach 20k some time in the next 6 months as long as there are no major problems.

I think the next target is $ 15k and it will happen in the near future as well. really really surprised me because in this year bitcoin prices rose more than 10-fold. and probably will continue to jump up as many people are starting to use and invest in bitcoin. prepare a lot of capital to buy lots of bitcoin dude!

Bitcoin is not a Currency, so I don’t see any reason we should consider and use it as such. But as for using it as a store of value, I can agree with that. It’s already an investment, so I consider it as such and invests regularly to make profit. It has reached the price rate of $9,915 as of now, I can still call it $10,000. I believe the next rate is $15000 before the end of December.

I think if bitcoin can use to journey, it is amazing. I can't find the travel which can use bitcoin for payment. I want to journey with my family, but I just have bitcoin  ::)

Я дyмaю чтo пocлe 10 000$ Битoк oчeнь peзкo нaбepёт, нo пoтoм cлeгкa пpитopмoзит! К тoмy жe 10к - этo oчeнь пcиxoлoгичecкaя цифpa! :-\

Well, after reach the 10,000 USD of bitcoin price our main goal is to hit another new record reaching bitcoin up to 11,000 USD targeting the month of february and march 2018. Thats what i predecting base on the graph has continually pumping the bitcoin.

What did you say ? Price is great as ever, and we are now way closer to breaking 11 000$ than going back under 10 000$. And about Bitcoin Cash, forget all these conspiracy theories... They are true but powerless.

Hi,

All theses issues are quite hard to discuss as for most of them, we do not have distance...

I am pretty sure some large investors (investment funds, consulting firms, and so on) are already investing in bitcoin. They would be dumb to ignore such trend. But are they gonna use it? Store it? Buy it by bulks or just low amounts? Will they affect rates by trading it?

This is hard to say. Even for them, I guess.

Regarding the question of bitcoin as a daily currency, I think many people could be interested. But many is not enough and the bitcoin community is (sadly enough) still a drop in the ocean...

Little drop, huge rise...little drop, huge rise...This has been the trend in value for Bitcoin for the last few months with the last few weeks with dramatic increase! I just don't know what will hold back Bitcoin from rising in the coming times...It seems nothing can... 😉

The current value of bitcoins have surpassed $10600 which is highest value in the history of bitcoins may be in the near future there is still high chance for the bitcoins to increase its value to ten times the current value or it can even get higher than $40000 due to the benefits of this bitcoin and blockchain network this community is attracting more user's to the bitcoin technology which increases the demand for bitcoins and ultimately causing the rise in the price of bitcoins. The manager of hedge funds has already invested in bitcoins and he has predicted about the potentiality of this technology. Bitcoins is a currency as well as a good commodity for investment.

Bitcoin, without any doubt is the most popular crypto available in the market and Bitcoin has tremendous amount of potential to grow in the future. Many people have started to regard Bitcoin as one of the most popular investment available in the market and you can expect price of Bitcoin to be above 25000$ mark by end of 2019 for sure.

What if the investor uses bitcoin as a store of value? Well, yes it can happen because other countries are using this business as just a restaurant and hotels that are paid via bitcoin and those invested in it are sure to earn a great deal and hopefully the price increase will be in the market place. So far this bitcoin has been widespread throughout the world.

It's not only matter on the transactions fees for bitcoin to be popular and regular, I can count many other problems, facing Bitcoin in its actual position. Even though Big players starts adopting the use of Bitcoin, so the price should boost more and more and we will start discussing how Bitcoin is not for small transactions. Further more, who should give answers for all the questions?? We are still interacting with the Beta Version of the first cryptocurrency widely known.

I feel like a mini correction or slide is next incoming because the move up has been so parabolic that I can't imagine it going to 15k at this point. 6-8k seems more likelier than up and that is what I really think is going to happen.

I am so amaze with bitcoin reach $10k and more to happen in this market. And suddenly drops little maybe this is a correction. Yet positive bitcoin road more than $15k so lets claim it.

I am agree with you people all over the world invest in bitcoin and they feels proud to be like that because of beneficial features in bitcoin I mean for investment low fees are required which made them easy to invest and that’s why bitcoin get support, due to this bitcoin price and importance also increases.

No you are wrong my friend, bitcoin price is not like a bubble that after increases it will came down instantly because bitcoin nature is not a bubble it is a digital currency which increases and grow with the passage of time so don’t be panic and comments using negative words and mind.

I never under stand why some of us in the forum saying bitcoin is an bubble. I strongly believe that it is not an bubble. There is a demand so the price is tremendously increasing and the benefit goes to the investors of bitcoin. As everyone expected the 10000 USD mark has been achieved not we looking a head of 20000 USD as next near target of all time high.

Its akreay hit your prediction how ever bitcoin price is in currently in decrease because some traders wants to assured theur profit with bitcoin thats is why they exchange or convert their bitcoins into fiat and waiting again for the price decrease and exchange then hold they making real money into it.

In the past people felt it to be a bubble, because they didn't found anything grow in similar manner. Now they have experienced the reality or the real growth happening with time letting them understand about the way it grow. Even now the correction of bitcoin is going on, once it regains momentum it again pumps to reach out the next price barrier.

It has risk upto now because some will regulate the abnormality of bitcoin just my predictions though. I think bitcoin will not be a primary currency and will never ever be to do that means centralizing all capability to grow and putting up rules about it we users will never ever be earning independently as its supposed to be. It is possible to reach $12000 in the year end.

10 000 usd is very important psyhological number for bitcoin to achieve. After that more people will trust in bitcoin. They will not be so suspicous about prices 20 000 or 50 000 usd. I think long term holders will have more money than average trader.

according to CNBC.com a ramp up in retail accounts over the Thanksgiving holiday helped bitcoin over $10,000 and some in the financial industry are worried about the fallout of a possible price crash. Here's the link.

https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/11/29/bitcoin-passes-10000-cryptocurrency-crash-considered-by-experts.html

If the value of bitcoin now reaches $10,00 value we can still always consider its value to crash down. Knowing that bitcoin is very unpredictable. Well, still hope that it will remain on a higher value till the end of this year.

marketcap is very big this time, I do not see any barrier for the price keeps jumping up, although a few hours ago the price got down but now the price is back recover and ready to go back up, I think the price will go up to $ 15k and it will happen in the near future,

Bitcoin is doing tremendous Job, and value of btc increasing every day. It is the signal of future rising because economist in October predicted btc could rise 10000 use by the end of December but btc took hardly one month to reach 10000 usd that mean in future btc main target to achieve 15000 USD

a few hours ago, the price is down and it is our chance to buy another amount of bitcoin because the price will increase again. and now, we can see that the price tries to back the increase, then people can get ready to sell their bitcoin. the next level of bitcoin will try to reach $15,000 and we have much time to see this before this year is ended. the price gets a good moment to increase again because I see people in the market want to buy bitcoin as fast as they can.

Well, I think big companies that are not yet mesmerized to the presence of Bitcoin is just waiting for this kind of opportunity. Having the fact that Bitcoin now is the highest valued exchange in the Market, making it more prone to investors and whales. And for the most part, Bitcoin really have a shot on becoming primary currency if not in the whole world, well atleast in some countries that thinks Bitcoin is a good opportunity to take in.

It's actually us who did a good job, because of our support there is an increase of demand that is why the value rise this big.
Bitcoin has a good future and now this year has been a good year already, having achieved the $10,000 is another milestone of success, there might be some correction that will happen and the price will dump a big but I am confident by the end of this year we will see that price or over.

This means that bitcoins will be taken seriously by those big investment firms, banks and all those other institutions. You can see it everywhere on mainstream news and this is just the beginning.

The issue is, tons of newbies are coming and they're looking to earn more fiat. That's a serious issue for long term bitcoin growth. We need to educate these newbies asap.

the best bitcoin performance today is the proof of its great future and not a bubble anymore..it is really the answers to all our prayers..the solution of all problems..

Well, the bitcoin dip that happened today for few hours really creeping me, I'm sometimes afraid with the uncontrolled skyrocketing of its price it might be a "really" bubble like what people talking about
the market is now bullish and we don't know what will happen next time, just my hope is that the market will stay atleast at this rate for a long time before rallying again.

Yes this is the proof that there is no impossible value in bitcoin and this is the vest investment firm that we can put huge amount of money and it will return huge amount of profit. My prediction is bitcoin will hit 15000$ before this year was end i know that is exage prediction but i believed in just a month bitcoi will hit that value.

I guess bitcoin get the attention of the different companies, because many investors from different institution we're encourage to invest in the bitcoin. Moreover some of the capitalist are paying a lot of stocks because they believe that bitcoin will become more valuable in the future.

Therefore, I think due to what happen I'm sure that bitcoin price will become more expensive when time come past. So to all users of bitcoin it's better to hold it than to sell it for now. In addition bitcoin value was already touches the $11,000+ lately.

I agree. Hitting $10K is a big boost for bitcoin and crypto in general. This is just the beginning. Those who are watching from behind and observing or even bashing bitcoin can't really ignore the fact that it reaches a new milestone in history and should be taken seriously by big financial institutions like banks.

CME getting on board will set the precedence for investment firms. If this push through as scheduled next month, bitcoin price will skyrocketed that you are either to dumb to invest on it or you still think that bitcoin is a bubble that will crash anytime. It's your choice.

Those newbies will learn it the hard way. Bitcoin is not a quick rich scheme. They could educated themselves as they go along and learn from their mistakes.

Everything is really possible with bitcoin, I cannot be surprise if bitcoin hit that price. Correction may happen but it will surely bounce back. We can surely enjoy big profit in 2018 and in the future just keep on believing and be more patient, the best price may not yet come, we will see it years from now.

Bitcoin is so close to 10.000 USD, but some bitcoin enthusiasts starts to worry, what will happen with the bitcoin price when we hit the 10k level ? Will Bitcoin see a major correction or even a crash ? Shoul I sell all my bitcoin ? Man, calm down.  Keep your Bitcoin safe.

I am not sure that bitcoin will be the primary currency. Bitcoin will be success, no doubt. But, bitcoin will be the number one of alternative currency and online payment. I din't think that bitcoin is a bubble, bitcoin will always survive although it not used by all of people in the world.

That is even more of a reason why many are doubting bitcoin. No offense to those people that lacks of knowledge when it comes to bitcoin. They are just going with the flow, they dont understand on how ita value is going so they suspect it that it is something that it is untrusted. But after this $10,000 we will be at higher price just like what the news says.

I will speak like an economist. In one hand, this bull run reminds me the dot com era in 2000. If market goes up too fast, there be will some self correction sooner or later. But in another hand, bitcoin has both the scarcity and brand name. No fiat or other major cryptocurrency is protected by the scarcity like bitcoin. It is even better than gold from this perspective. Ethereum is more powerful in the technology sense, but bitcoin is the number one brand in this market and is the de-facto go-to cryptocurrency. I won't be surprised if it keeps going up. The key issue is your time horizon if you are investing or managing your crypto asset.

My expert trader said that bitcoin already reach the top peak and mostly will decrease at the moment
Personally I want to hold my bits for next 4 year , let's take a look bitcoin value from 2009 ~ 2017, the value grown exponentially so I'm looking foward for $ 100.000 !

the best bitcoin performance today is the proof of its great future and not a bubble anymore..it is really the answers to all our prayers..the solution of all problems..

Bitcoin had already breached 10000 usd mark and it is not yet the end of the year, we are stikl few days away from december and weeks aways from the holidays, i think bitcoin will reach around 12000 usd by the coming days, and once it is officially the start of the holiday season, we might see a drop in the price of bitcoin and a correction will happen, but for sure by the start of the new year, bitcoin's price will again rally back.

I guess the bitcoin price will reach up on $11500 by end of the December 2017.

If it had been like this fact, next of course.. there is no doubt more and more people who see bitcoin as a source of income or a really promising financial boosters of various ways that can be done.
Btw I'm a little concerned for people who haven't known more about bitcoin to date and do not really care about the greatness of bitcoin.

And in my opinion, I think it's will be more the countries that will be legalize bitcoin, because I think this is entering a new era & including the future.

the current bitcoin price continues to increase from $ 10,000-$ 11,000 and it seems that at the end of this year bitcoin prices will be able to reach $ 11,000- $ 12,000 is really a good price increase of bitcoin.
so this is certainly the effect of public trust and bitcoin users to always support and participate in progress bitcoin.

Maybe the next value of bitcoin before the year ends is $11k its more good if we hold our bitcoins because you will get more profit if you still hold your bitcoins just believe in bitcoin nd dont be scaree even th valu of bitcoin decreased.

If you are really into bitcoin and you know on what to expect for the price of bitcoin in the next few years then i think that it will be a realistic guess if i will say that bitcoin might go up to $20,000 in the future. Maybe 2018 will be the year for that price because there is no limit for bitcoin's price and it is unstoppable and sooner or later, it will become a chance for the other people to make a fortune.

I don't think it's crazy or outlandish to suggest that Bitcoin could get to a million or even multi million. In fact I think you would have sounded crazier to say that back in 2009 that Bitcoin would even get to 100 someday over saying Bitcoin will get to a million or more today.  From the start of Bitcoin in 2009 until about may of 2010 Bitcoins for virtually worthless. They had no value at all, fractions of a penny. So to have suggested that Bitcoin would get to 100 dollars someday you would have sounded like a idiot but here we are today at 100 dollars times 33. In fact if Bitcoin grows at just 1/10 of 1% of what it has since the start price per bitcoin would be roughly 1.78 million dollars. That's 1/10 of 1% of growth. Could you imagine giving a speech to potential shareholders of a 8 year company and say "we have a business model to grow at 1/10 of 1% of what we have in the last 8 years".  That's about as far as you'd get before they all got up and walked out of the room

That's the good basis when investing with this currency, the price keeps rising from time to time and holding for a long term would be the best thing to do, people are now aware about this opportunity and we are lucky having knowledge while bitcoin is still on its early stage.

Bitcoin is not currently used as currency though it has that potential to use as major currency in the world. Hedge's fund managers are currently studying it and very soon the will start investing in it and some of them have started making some positive comments about bitcoin. $ 10,000 is just a beginning of were price will be in future and before 2021 bitcoin maybe trading above  $100,000.

hedge funds are already buying bitcoin and investors are using bitcoin as a medium to store of value, and Bitcoin will hit 30K in 2018, I guess.

I do not argue that the price will rise. I don't think so. Bitcoin is heavy and clumsy. Use for currency is bad decision for simple needs. Many altcoins can argue with top1. 

$20,000 is next by the year although it's super fast that many predictions that $10,000 will achieved by the year year and months of january, but it jist took so fast right now and still bitcoin rising apart. It's really really truth as what Bill Gates sayd that "BITCOIN IS UNSTOPABLE" omayghad i can't even really think that why am so lucky? That i know bitcoin? Maybe it's for the one who need the opportunity.

Lol. Iy already started to dip and at the same pace it took when we reached 11k. That's probably a simple correction that happened and bitcoin may again start to pump hard but going back to 10k is not going to be that hard anymore.

Bitcoin just getting stable at $10,000, and I think it will not gonna drop again just like what happen when it has pump hard.
Now, let's observed, the moment it will drop then we can buy some altcoins to save our money but the moment it will start to pump buy more bitcoins as there is a chance it will break it's previous ATH.

I think nobody knows about the future of bitcoin, maybe your friend just wants to spread the issue to other users to panic. the fact is bitcoin users are still a little today and certainly will be more in the future than because that of course bitcoin prices will rise and $10k instead of top price of bitcoin

the price looks unstable for every exchange and the gap is very far especially between my local exchange and the exchange from outside my country so i personally don't too dare to buy bitcoin at the current price and i will wait until the price correction and curious at what range the correction happened but indeed i believe bitcoin will surpassing $10k and i expect $12k before january

bitcoin now in actual market is great. its rate is really amazing because the bitcoins performance hit upto 11k USD and I can sense this value will increase more.

No matter the circumstances on bicoin it is still a bubble and even it is good or bad. Bitcoin has this feature to increase or decrease the value over time and ovrr time bitcoin growing popular this days because of the influence of social media thats why bitcoin is increasing because the exposure of bitcoin is still improving so dont panic it is normal to a growing currency.

Of course the next target is $ 20,000, as happens today the price looks static, but usually the price will skyrocket and december or tomorrow the price will reach $ 15,000 then after christmas will reach $ 20,000.

Bitcoin is being used as investment tool. It has been used by hedge funds for astronomical returns.  Recent news from a cite shows that there are nearly 120 funds which are closely focusing on the bitcoin very closely. Bitcoin is not being used as store of value. Normally a store of value is something which has stable value and gradual rate of appreciation. Like gold. Bitcoin is an investment tool which has  best returns on investments so far. It will go on increasing the return on investment as market is not closely watched nor restricted.

They're a lot good news this year about the bitcoin.  Bitcoin already reaches the amount $10k. I think or conclusion what will happen next to. This all about the price will a little bit decreasing, and it will increase an amount of $15k-20k before the end of this years. That only my prediction.

And this is exactly what they want to make you think, that bitcoin is invincible because it reached 10k.
Oh boy, the fall will be so hard for you, back to january 2017

There are so many "what if's" it'll make your head spin like that girl in the Exorcist.  How about we wait until bitcoin is firmly above $10k before worrying about what comes next.  Because as of right now we fell below that mark and it may end up being a struggle to stay at/above it.  IMO we rose too high, too fast, and being cautious seems like the best course of action.   Markets have corrections.  People take profits.   And all of that could yet occur on a large scale.

The end of the year is still 1 month away and anything can happen. bitcoin will fly high to the moon. after reaching a peg to 11000 $ Hardfork is very big role this year

1) price will pumped in short time.
2)many use it now and increase price make them this .
3) who can control use of bitcoin to make it primarily as a currency.

Next target of bitcoin will be 20000$ mark only which will be achieved mid of 2018 itself. About bubble bitcoin is not bubble if you see the past record bitcoin get corrected for few days / week after getting corrected it is bounce back to the next target.

Yesterday he was 12K, and today 9K. There are no guarantees that the price will rise to 20K in the near future. But according to many forecasts, the price of bitcoin will increase in the coming year.
I hope that the rate of increase will not be so fast and speculative

Yes, Bitcoin has the highest price and tends to decrease slightly. In the long run it will continue to increase, but now it is too high to adjust prices. Waiting for Christmas this year, what will Bitcoin do?

And because of the fast increase of bitcoin price, it already caught the attention of our local tv.  And there is a news about the advisory coming from our central banks to think twice before investing in cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin.    As it is not guaranteed and not regulated by the government so the money that we will invest is not safe.

well as of now bitcoin price drops again.maybe its because of the coming
fork this december.but back in to the topic,what do you mean by Not much investor
use bitcoin,isnt it obvious that bitcoin has gather lots of investors compare to other
coins?and asking about whats next in crypto i think bitcoin price will back to neutral
and may recover again in early next year

3 Forks are announced until end of January, people will hold their bitcoins or buy even more bitcoin to get free-coins from the 3 forks. but when there is no new fork with new free coins in sight, people will sell their bitcoins and the price goes down.

Bitcoin price is really surprising, a lot of people already predicted this, however, it really happened too soon. Bitcoin price is really hard to speculate that is why, a lot of people are getting interested on bitcoin because it is really profitable.

The price is rising not only because of the support from Bitcoin users but also, and I think mainly, because there are more and more new users nowadays. A Bitcoin holder sells $1,000 worth of BTC and immediately 10 new users want to buy $100 worth of BTC each. But if there are more than 10 such new users, the price begins to rise.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THE EXCHANGES
Because Financial Privacy is a Basic Human Right, Not a Privilege



Introduction
I’m sure you’re aware that once you’ve submitted your personal Identification to a company that it will be saved  inside of an outdated honey pot, a proverbial treasure trove of highly exploitable information that can be sold at the highest price and to the highest bidder for more money than what the company generates in revenue.  People can tell you what you want to hear and so will companies by way of cookie cutter ‘User Agreements’ and ‘Terms of Use’,  wholesale documents are drawn to create a false sense of security which often indemnifies them from liability. Liability insurance against selling customer information, blocking certain accounts from withdrawal of their own funds due to credit history, financial discrimination based on geographical location, race, nationality, and political affiliation. I could go on forever, but the example’s above constitute an entire host of grossly unethical  and bureaucratic procedures, justifiably aligned to fit within a socially oppressive and technocratic system of centrally planned governance.

The problem with modern compliance is that what could be considered legal today, could very well be seen as illegal tomorrow. Always remember that the laws change based on the state’s perception of a threat. And by submitting your information you’ve agreed to the rules of the state, to participate and be held liable by its arbitrary laws and regulations that govern its citizens.


But there’s a way out...

Sometimes you have people who want to just disappear, and those who want to exit the system. And now in lieu of Crypto Currencies there is  a new breed of individual, an individual who desires unbridled freedom without question in the comforts of civilization; to live in the grid but on their own terms. 

I’ll tell you how because I know exactly what you did and why you’re asking me this question. You’re holding substantial assets and you’re not inclined to share without a contract, you want to avoid being placed under duress, or to be threatened or coerced into either divulging or being relieved of your assets.

---

How would one scrub records from the exchanges or keep the exchanges from releasing my information to the government?

In your particular situation your best option for safety and security at this time is not to worry about the information you submitted to the exchanges, that information is on their databases and cannot be removed without hacking into their servers which leads to an entirely new mess. Many of these companies are managed by misguided freedom minded twenty-something-year-old libertarians, that are being constantly bombarded by regulation and threats of prison by the state.  A hack on a barely regulated exchange would send their IT departments straight to the cemetery. Hey, but who knows maybe you could upload a little text file after the hack that reads; “Sorry for hacking your 100 million dollar network guys, I didn’t take any money I just had to grab my ID card really quick!”
But on a more serious note, your main objective now is to start cleaning up the mess. To either stop using these centralized exchanges or stop using them in your name.
Skills can be learned, gathered, and taught, I have more than 10 years worth of skills. Nevertheless, later in this chapter I’ll teach you a set of easy to moderate skills to help you accomplish all your current privacy focused objectives.


Another option..

You could either exit the system entirely by closing all your bank accounts and choose to accept allyour payments in Bitcoin. Or you could play a game of cat and mouse with the banks and investigators where they’ll call you over the phone to ask you about your financial affairs, so they can either record it for later investigation, or sell it to either the IRS, creditors, investigators (as a verbal confession) which they’ll use in a lawsuit during a court proceeding.
Another terrible option would be to wait for them to close your bank account at the worst possible time, because the laws pertaining to crypto currencies have suddenly changed and you can no longer access your funds at the ATM machine like what happened to the people of Greece in late 2009.
 

---

Would a hardware wallet be the best way to avoid many of these issues and get the coins off the exchanges?

Hardware wallets such as the Trezor and Ledger are also know as cold storage devices and are very important tools to securing your Bitcoin or Crypto Assets, however, they cannot ensure your financial privacy and without privacy all efforts to hide your Bitcoins assets from a malicious third-party would be in vain. Before you can consider storing your crypto assets in a cold storage hardware device there are few steps you must first achieve. Bellow you will find a detailed guide on how to accomplish the best security at the most affordable cost using free to low cost tools.
Depending on your skill set and abilities you may or may-not learn something new in this tutorial, but it makes for a fantastic read nonetheless. Let’s begin...

---

STEP 1. Purchase a Secure VPN

Purchase a VPN at Mullvad.net. I personally recommend Mullvad over any other company as they are trusted by the deep web and are the most privacy-centric service that keeps no logs, and actually destroys user data. You can purchase a VPN subscription for the amount of time you can afford within your budget.
After purchase install Mullvad VPN software on your host operating system, and choose a location. I would choose either a U.S location, Asian, or an Eastern European location. Try to stay away from countries that are considered highly suspect or have been banned from the EU.

---

STEP 2. Download and Install VirtualBox

Turn on your VPN and choose a location. Make sure it either stays on or you’ve turned it back on for steps 1 - 12 .
If you don’t currently have a copy of Oracle’s VirtualBox on your system then go to https://www.virtualbox.org and download it to your system. In the next step I will show you  how to create a new virtualized instance of WindowsXP 64bit or 32Bit to your machine and where to safely download it.
Install Virtual Box. If any problems arise during the installation process then uninstall the program, read the installation instructions again found at the virtualbox website, and reinstall.

If for some reason the installation process still doesn’t work then you may need to allow “Virtualization”  in your Bios settings on your machine. Depending on your machine you may need to experiment by pressing such keys as, ESC, F1, or F5 to boot into your Bios.

---

STEP 3. Download and Install WindowsXP

Once you’ve successfully installed VirtualBox Download a free copy of FraudFox, don’t be alarmed by the name; this is only a modified version of WindowsXP that was stripped of all the bloat-ware and unnecessary and pre-installed software and third-party spyware that often comes with most Windows-based operating systems. Even though FraudFox could be used for illegal activities, your purpose – however, would be to legally preserve your financial privacy by avoiding detection. And Privacy is a human right , not a privileged. You may also notice that this Virtualized instance of Windows runs just as fast as your host OS.

Visit and download from their official page:
http://www.wickybay.xyz/2016/01/fraudfox.html

---

STEP 4. Installing WindowsXP on VirtualBox

Launch VirtualBox by locating it on your system and selecting it. Now, let’s begin the FraudFox installation process:
Select the blue circle with the inscription that reads “NEW” on the top left hand side of the software screen.

• A new screen will appear
  
• Within this new screen you will see the words: “ Name and Operating System” bellow those words you will see a text box. Next to the words “Name:” within the textbox write any name that you wish to call your new operating system. For ease of use I would call mine WindowsXP 1.
  
• In the next selection screen bellow you will be required to select your operating system. Next to the words “Type:” Select “Microsoft Windows”
  
• In the next selection screen bellow you will be required to select your operating system’s version. Next to the words “Version:” Select “WindowsXP 64bit”
  
• For “Memory Size” slide the bar or select 1783MB to be allocated to this machine.
  
• On the last selection select the box that reads “Create a virtual hard disk now”
  
• Last select “next”
  

For the complete tutorial, please be sure to watch the video instructions bellow.

---

STEP 5. Modify your FireFox Browser

Boot into to your new WindowsXP OS and go into the FraudFox instillation folder and launch “Firefox Portable” don’t worry your host VPN is forcing all your virtual traffic through the VPN tunnel.
Go to google and search for “Firefox latest”, and through the search results go to the official FireFox website. Download the developer edition of Firefox. This will help you reconfigure your browser and install a multitude of apps if the need arises.
Install “FireFox: Developer Edition”
Go to: https://addons.mozilla.org and go to extensions.

• Download the following extensions:
  random-agent-spoofer
  ublock-origin
  clickclean
  adguard-adblocker
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/happy-bonobo-disable-webrtc/
  miningblocker
  

Note: You may need to restart Firefox after installing some of these extensions

Let’s continue..

On the top right hand corner of your FireFox browser you will see an icon that will allow you to access the setting menu which would be located here,copy and paste the address bellow to your browsers search bar to access your browser’s preference menu :

about:preferences


“In General” within Preferences uncheck the check-box that reads: “Automatically update search engines”
Within “Search” your default search engine should be set to “duckduckgo”

For other modifications Go to https://whoer.net to check the level of your anonymity. If you’re not at 100% then follow the instruction on the website. You may need to change the system clock on your virtual machine to match your VPNs location time.

Note: Be sure to delete all the Fraud Fox folders, and VIP72 files from the system, this isn’t that kind of job.

---

STEP 6. Create Your Fully Secure and Private Blockchain.info wallet and Email

Step five is one of the most crucial. Your VPN should still be on and your FireFox should have already been installed and modified. You should be logged in to you Virtual environment and be fully encrypted by this stage and ready to create an account at blockchain.info, but before you do that you’ll need an email address.
Go to mail.com and create a new email account by creating a random fake name, date of birth, and an email address and password. Write down everything to a text file detail by detail. Just in case the website decides to lock your account you’ll have a way to reactivate your account. At the very top of the textfile be sure to copy and paste your VPN’s IP address, which will be associated with this new email account you created. You should do the same for your blockchain.info account, your receiving wallet address, your 12 word seed, and password.

Once you’re email account has been created open a new tab and go to blockchain.info. Create a new account. Secure your account by writing down your MEMONIC 12 word seed, copy and paste every word into a text file within your virtual Windows environment. Copy and paste everything that will help you access your account.

But don’t phone verify the account with a phone number that you’re actually using, any hacker worth his salt can get access to that.

STEP 7.

Close your FireFox browser, and run Cclearner, which comes preinstalled. This will clean your cookies, DNS, etc.  copy and paste your Bitcoin sending address to a text file on your host operating system. And then log out of your Windows Virtual Environment. Turn off your VPN and get back to your IP address which would be the same IP address you used to create an account at the exchange.

Again, log into your account at the exchange from your host operating system with your VPN turned off and transfer your Bitcoins to your wallet at blockchain.info.

You may need to wait for an hour or so, so grab a cup of coffee and relax. And please, don’t do anything crazy like turn on your VPN while still logged into your account. If by any chance you’re dealing with thousands of dollars then I would personally not even touch my keyboard.

---

STEP 8. Log out of the exchange

Logout of your account at the exchange and close your browser.

---

STEP 9.  Create Another Blockchain.info Account

This will be wallet Number 2. And it will allow you to completely remove your identity from your assets. Whether you mistakenly purchased your Bitcoins from an Exchange or from a BitcoinATM machine you’ll now be starting the process of completely liberating your self from any liability or accusation.

In order to create this wallet you must first turn on your VPN and choose  a new IP address. Second step, Start VirtualBox and login to your WindowsXP virtual environment.

Use the same procedure that you used to create your first blockchain.info account. Create another textfile and copy and paste all your information neatly and professionally. Paste your new IP address at the top, username and passwords in their specific sections. You can copy and paste the following format bellow to create your text file.

STEP 10. Download Tails, We’re Going on TOR


Make sure your VPN is still turned on. You will not need to change the IP address to your VPN for downloading Tails onto your Operating System.

On your host operating system open your browser and go to the following website:

https://tails.boum.org/

Download the latest version of Tails and install it on your VirtualBox instillation. Bellow I will list the step by step process on how to install Tails Safely:

• Select the blue circle with the inscription that reads “NEW” on the top left hand side of the software screen.
• A new screen will appear
• Within this new screen you will see the words: “ Name and Operating System” bellow those words you will see a text box. Next to the words “Name:” within the textbox write any name that you wish to call your new operating system. For ease of use I would call mine Tails.
  
• In the next selection screen bellow you will be required to select your operating system. Next to the words “Type:” Select “Linux”
  

• In the next selection screen bellow you will be required to select your operating system’s version. Next to the words “Version:” Select “Other Linux 64bit”
  

• For “Memory Size” slide the bar or select 1783MB to be allocated to this machine.
  
• On the last selection select the box that reads “Do not add a virtual hard disk”
   

• Last select “next”

STEP 11.  Clean your Coins (Follow these steps carefully)



Visit the following page : http://grams7enufi7jmdl.onion/helix/light
Official Reddit Support Page: https://www.reddit.com/r/grams/

Now, this is a very important section, read each of my instructions bellow very carefully before you start the process of moving your funds so that you are less likely to make any mistakes:

• Follow the instructions on Grams Helix Light website carefully and send the minimum amount of Bitcoins that they recommend.
  
• Open a new tab or a second tab next to the other and go to blockchain.info
  
• Within the new tab go to blockchain.info and enter the first account you created in this tutorial, it will be the account that you sent money to from the exchange.
  
• Again, your sending wallet will be the first blockchain.info wallet you created in this tutorial. Send the minimum amount of Bitcoins that Grams Helix Light Requires to your second blockchain.info wallet.
  
• I repeat, your receiving address will be the second Blockchain.info wallet you created in this tutorial. This wallet will receive all your clean coins and will separate your identity from your Bitcoins. 
  

---

STEP 12. You can now buy your Hardware Wallet

And extra layer of precaution and safety would be to purchase your hardware device from the official websites of these hardware wallets and not from third party vendors.

In closing you should now be using “clean” Bitcoins or Bitcoins that aren’t directly connected to your identity or IP address. As exactly found in the last part of the tutorial above, we have tumbled the coins to a second blockchain.info wallet that you created and can personally access with a VPN. 
And from that second blockchain wallet you are now free to send your money to the official hardware wallet website of your choice to place your order.

I think there will be a big price drop in the order.
It has risen as fast as anyone can guess and think. Now it can fall at the same :)

many predict that the price of Bitcoin will continue to grow even though many are selling...
but I predict until mid-2018 that those holding Bitcoin will sell their Bitcoin.

I still hope that although bitcoin is dumping at the moment,i'm still expecting it to be back in its high price maybe up to $12k or $13k before Christmas comes.That's already a good price and will really fit for the needs of people this coming holiday season.

Don't panic this is only temporary and this is also not a correction.By the way In the trafficking of people can manage their emotions that will get more,a big sale resulting in a decline of up to 1K$ is marked only briefly.

It is a new record that bitcoin already reaches the price of $10,000 and some people already sell their bitcoin and gained a lot of profit while some people still hold their bitcoin because they believe that bitcoin's price will continue to rise up in the future. I think bitcoin's price and any other cryptocurrencies will continue to grow and develop and may reach $100,000 in the future. If that will happen, many people will become an instant millionaire or billionaire.

The reason why a lot of people panic if ever their is a dump of bitcoin price is just because they really don't know about bitcoin trend. I believe that their will be a dump someday after December hardfork news, but is still not a good idea of selling our coins. Getting sacrifice our coins and holding it for a while might give you a great result.

Panic will just tend to lose our investment, Let us remove the word panic in our dictionary we should not be like this one a panic seller/buyer. It is okay to withdraw your investment but not all just the profit and hold again for a couple of months or better if to hold for a year, early next year I believe bitcoin will go down.

I am passionate about bitcoin, but if the mining goes until 2140 what price can we expect from here?

I think it will grow! There will be corrections. And you need a lot to bear in mind. Other scenarios are possible)

Bitcoin reach 10,000$ for a short time next will be on 15,000$ by the end of this year. Bitcoin can be reach that as long as those holder can hold their bitcoin in a long term.

Hmmm…I don’t know where I’m really siding, some will say it is not a bubble and some will say it is a bubble. I won’t say it is a bubble, neither will I say it is, it’s left for you all to decide that for yourself. But something that keeps on going up to such rate on such speed? Hmph. I don’t think it will end with $10k, it will still be going up, maybe $15 or $16k before the year ends.

The next thing will be slight drop because price of bitcoin is really high and this is profit time and the thing that is making investors to hold their coin is they are waiting for more pump and if it will not happen in coming two or more days then there will be selling in the market and price will be come down a bit but will never drop down from 9500$ and the time to buy will be coming so gather the money to invest and earn.

- They are already doing it and the percentage will grow day by day. However, there is a threat of sudden fall but it's likely not to happen in a short period of time.


- Same answer, Bitcoin gained monetary value in last few years but recently we are actuality using its utility value in order to serve the prime motive of Bitcoin. We can store values in it and now we are starting exchanging the values using it without converting it into any other currency.


- That's what core area of Bitcoin is all about. Bitcoin is a payment system and gains from the speculation activities is a by-product cum reward of the process.


- Things are still in the development phase but sudden surge rallies like current one divert the attention towards it but considering the growth of it in next few years, I do see actual usage of Bitcoin on the ground level till then let accusers label it as a bubble.

my opinion is next year bitcoin will get double next year so be ready to earn bitcoin as much as possible. do not exchange your bitcoin that is only 10k value because be ready for the next year for more explosive news about bitcoin

There are a lot of ~what if~ but the truth is that Bitcoin keeps going forward so all the indicators show that cryptocurrency is in the right direction, let's hope that there will be no junction or something similar.

Of course, the community will expect more rather than of expecting bitcoin price  will fall down.  I know this is not the perfect time to say bitcoin will stay forever but I could feel that it will stay for us for a long time.
The great journey of bitcoin will surely go further and everyone will recognized this amazing trend.

Wow!

How I feel about $11,000.00 BTC!

(or how we in the crypto world...pulled a fast one on the banks!)

Bitcoin will continue increasing in value,  the demand and popularity will increase as well. Altcoins like etherum will get a slight increase in value too. Cryptocurrencies may be the most traded asset in the stock market. It will become more stable in the near future too.

The only cautionary tale I might make on this is the group before in BTC and crypto up until say Jan 2017....we have seen a lot of FUD/drama/price dumps/etc and are still in the race

the massive amount of newbies have not been 'bloodied' yet by such and are NOT In crypto for some of the reasons us oldsters are...mostly they are in for the $$$ IMHO, and not the protocol

or replacement of traditional finance in some manner etc


thus when there is a correction...of some kind FUD wise or otherwise or an exchange chokes again etc ...all this money from Jan 2017 that went into crypto could flow out just as
 
fast (in the short term in my view) due to panic etc

Bitcoin and crypto is an unregulated market..thus like the 1880's thru 1930's  there will be the equivalent of bank runs and crashes etc...if you HODL it will be fine....but some

of the new money and newbies coming in are gonna get bloodied by this yo/yo up/down/crash/fud/despair/fomo action....so proportionally a lot of newbies..but proportionally

many of them are gonna panic like any other masses in any other fiat or bank crash

prepare for it and Hodl

after such happens, IMHO, after being bloodied....the will come back into the market wiser and in the long run..it will be good....but too many folks out there still learning

and buying the press FUD on every downturn..it may take this mass of new folk this year into BTC and crypto a year to come to terms how fast stuff here can flip in price

and perception from month to month....learning curves suck!

anyway, what I'm planning on..if I'm wrong I will be pleasantly surprised...if I am right....I'll just ride it out as usual......but the new folk....they to shall learn like us

pre-Jan 2017 folk.....it's a roller coaster...deal with it :)

bitcoin is a magic investment, look at thousands of rich people with only a short time.
then what else we want to discuss about this mess.

Slowly investors are acquiring BTC as a mode of commodity or investment because these guys are forward thinkers, even tho' they are criticizing BTC these guys are buying a lot of it behind closed doors.
Remember the billionaire Novogratz have said?
There May Be a Bubble in Bitcoin, But Bitcoin Itself Isn’t a Bubble
- Novogratz
These piece of technology is a work of art that it is close to perfection and this might even dethrone gold in the next few years. Those people who are not educated enough are saying that BTC is a bubble but when you look close enough and understand its concept, it is not bubble it is adoption.

That will be a mistake if they will sell their bitcoin now because if they do that they will might miss the opportunity if the bitcoin will reach more than $11,000 before this year will end except if they are so sure that bitcoin value will go down that they will sell high then buy low again. They should sell their coin only if really needed for some very important things.

Some people sell bitcoin  when the bitcoin price reaches $ 10,000. Some people invest late when the bitcoin price reaches $ 10,000.

I can not judge in the actual market . It is hard to know what will happen next

I take your point...But as price of crypto and BTC goes up..especially at this rapid pace as this year...the below is my problem...on moving crypto of any flavor or BTC to fiat/cash

and as price accelerated upward and I hoard etc...It likely will get more weird....


My issue is more with IRS and tax man and capital gains etc. I mean BTC has gone up 11x this year. $11,000.00 BTC as I type this.

Thus the issue is NOT exchanges, for me anyway and some of the oldsters into crypto, it is how much can I take out of my BTC hoard w/o getting creamed by 40% capital gains (if less

then 1 year and 1 day) and 20% capital gains (if more than 1 year and 1 day). In the USA NO capital gains on 1st 10k and 15% for next bump up to 35k etc (see chart below)

http://www.livefreemd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/2017-Tax-Rates.jpg (http://www.livefreemd.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/2017-Tax-Rates.jpg)

As I am retiring at the end of this year (I can retire on my 'somewhat dubious lifestyle now', w/o crypto, with crypto as a backstop am now brave enough to do so anyway,

even if I never touch the crypto......made me braver) thus the chart has more significance on the 1st 35k capital gains taxes..in that I'm starting from 0 (or what I mine yet in 2018)

Job for me (unlike you guys) I would not be adding JOB income to the above chart. Most of you will,  add your job income, on the above crypto figuring. I don't. FYI.

Also, as far as I'm aware....the tax rates are correct...but the money you get DOES up your gross tax bracket also ..thus you can add more %%% to the above

the chart on your gross tax rate as you withdraw...so IRS etc is not big on windfall profits connected to windfall withdrawals as you can see the chart bases the %

on your income. Thus you pop up your income by the withdrawals even using the above chart....and blamo...a bit more %%%'s added to the amount.

(others better versed than myself in USA tax law 2017 ..hopefully, tax experts ..feel free to jump in..but how I think it works..in a gross/rough layman's kinda viewpoint)



Windfall withdrawal of the massive amount of $$$ on any investment...is kinda frowned upon by the tax code. You are 'supposed' to make the kinda returns we have made

in crypto and BTC over DECADES and then withdraw MODESTLY in our latter years....

thus my real issue is getting it out at above 35k w/o getting creamed by capital gains as a reflection of my income (still mining)

oh well, worse reasons to bitch I guess then this,

but that is my major problem..not exchange issues...(then again I'm practically a traitor on here and use Coinbase)

This will be a problem for more than just me, and other oldsters to bitcoin and crypto in the coming years...if the price continues to go up in the manner most pundits and

proponents of crypto and Bitcoin state now... Again not a bad problem to have, but if this all shakes out upward and onward..it will be a chokepoint on exchanging

some of your crypto into $$$ well into the future. (death and taxes...you can't avoid either)

The price of bitcoin is keep on going up and even though the price of bitcoin reaches $11,000 then it is still not the best price to sell because it is better to just keep it for long term and hope for the best for the price in the next few years. If you will keep on holding bitcoin for the next few years, i think that the price can go up to $100,000 and that will result for a huge profit for you.

I think, the fact that it dumped from $11 000 to $8 000 then after some time it just pumped back quickly to $11 000 means that it will be worth holding for a quite some time now. A lot of people are expecting it to reach the price of $15 000 at the end of the year and I think it has a high possibility happening.


We still got a few weeks reaching that price but still if that price was reached in the span, there will be more pumps that will happen in the upcoming year, and we can say that this year is the most amazing year for bitcoin despite the things that happened affecting the bitcoin negatively.

No its not like that, maybe the holders can play a great role in BTC's price but I think even if a whale dump all his BTC's, it will just create a wave and then the price will rise up again. The price is surging not because of the holdings/holders anymore but because of the demand now. If you will read some news the adoption is getting bigger and the adoption is getting wider. That means BTC will rise even if the so called whales will dump their coins. The only way is the moon.

With all of Bitcoin's advantages, 20k$ is the next target in 2018 . In 2020, it could be 50k$ :)

The whales have great power over the price of bitcoin and if they decide to make a dump, the price would go down and follow suit. Their actions are made to their advantage, so it’s favorable to them. They’ll make a dump when they want to buy BTC at a low price and profit. It would still make an impact but as said, the price will just continue to rise even so.

The increasing popularity of bitcoin has contributed greatly to the rise of price now, and this will jist continue for the years to come.

Whales have the power of course therefore when the price move down we have to be calm and believe that it will rise again, whales wants to take advantage of their power to continuously make money so there is no reason to end up their journey soon and just cash out everything they have because for sure there are a lot of buyers who also want to own bitcoin.

Previously people talked about the forks and the price are now at 10k and now I don’t think so any fork coming because values are so high that the dump creation is now so difficult and people are crazy to get bitcoin in their court and if this happen will be very good to earn but the selling point is right up to some extent and people will sell when the prices will be on a stable road so still there are chance that we can buy at low.

At this moment, it is now approaching 11000 USD so maybe before this year end it is possible for its value to reach 12000 USD or more especially if the increase will continue and nothing wrong will happen. So the best thing to do no2 is to invest as much as possible and hold to earn huge profit in the future as its value becomes more expensive.

there will be comming a correction before the holidays. the only thing that can counter this is the stream of new money comming in but i think its getting overbaughtt for now. The problem with btc is that its starting to look like a pension fund for a lot of people instead of a day to day currency so the price stays inflated for the short term ofc

Saying anything right now about the future of bitcoin price might be wrong because no one knows exactly what will happen in the future.
The price of bitcoin might go up or down as it was happened recently, i believe only time will determine how bitcoin price is going to be in the future.

Yeah bitcoin fever has just in its start there is more coming ahead and you are right that that day is no far that bitcoin will be used by every person in the community and all this can be achieved by the proper channel advertisement and all countries must have to realize it now that bitcoin will be their first and last hope so they must have to adopt it now in its beginning stages otherwise price will give them worry in future.

it may be that the bitcoin price will reach $ 15,000. but for now, bitcoin prices are still trying to achieve that. and I think, the deadline is at the end of this year. this will be a very fast rise.

$20k is the next destination of bitcoin,buy now and hold.
there are so many positive news why bitcoin can go to $20k or even much higher the next year.

Right now, Bitcoin is used more as a store of value than as a currency. It is treated by, I guess the majority of Bitcoin holders, as an asset rather than a digital money. And now that Bitcoin has gained more and more popularity, there are more number of investors in Bitcoin. They are still looking at Bitcoin as a form of asset whose value will multiply in the months and years to come. This is also observed by major financial groups.

Bitcoin roste a poroste s občasným poklesem,ale se zájmem  o kryptoměnu se stále stupňuje a 20 000$ za minci do konce roku! ;D

Base on my own calculation of being keeping increasing of bitcoin value its made of 17-20% in week, so about your expecting price of bitcoin before the end of the year will get even more than $15,000. And if bitcoin doing consistently making going up forward, Indeed bitcoin will reach $20,000 before we welcome the new year celebration in thsi coming year of 2018.

currently bitcoin is still in the stage of rising trend. prices rose more than $ 2000 in just a few days. I think a lot of people are very disappointed because they sell their bitcoin at a price of $ 10k. I think the price will continue to rise as it is still in the upward trend. but I do not know how much the price will go up

Actually there are so many predictions about the next bitcoin price, so I guess the next were heading to $20k soon. The movement is fast to increasee and this is it the good thing to do is hold bitcoin amd wait it to grow your btc.

It is difficult to say but it really will happen. Because of this unexplained height we are sure to expect the rapid collapse of bitcoins. Because when so-called whales sell their bitcoins holdings. Surely it will have panic selling because many people want to save whatever their profit is received from the rise of bitcoins. So be careful, and set a sale price so we can save our bitcoins profits

Oh well, I'm also one of those who thinks that bitcoin can really surpassed $20,000 at the end of the year, however it didn't materialized. The massive bull run has already stop and now we are just above $14,000. However, its not the end of the road of all of us, we should be thankful that we have reached this far. Above $10,000 is already good for me, and eventhough that most of us are really disappointed not hitting the goal at the end of the year, we should be positive and move forward to 2018 and expect that it can be breach in Q1.


Exactly, bitcoin breaks up after this run, how time fly though, it was immediate and quick to get to $19,000 and there's a lot of illogical buyers who even get it at the top price. However, its inevitable that we would see a correction. In my view whales and the subsequent panic cause the market to collapse but I'm really happy that we didn't go below $10,000. Profits have been made, no doubt, so I'm expecting that after this holidays, investors will again soon flock the market and buy bitcoin while it is still cheap. Actually the current price is still a good buying point. If I have the funds right now I would be interested to get bitcoin with this price.

The value of Bitcoin will increase if we believe in Bitcoin and keep it longer than the basic steps if they do not sell Bitcoin for profit. I fully believe that bitcoin will reach $ 25,000 and higher in the future.

And further it is necessary to do a strong cold, I am sure that bitcoin and crypto-currency will grow again in the near future ;)

Here is what I think about the prices:

1) The $25000 level that you believe will be achieved in maximum two months from now.

2) By the end of this year we will see $40000 easily and most of the new investors will be coming from developing countries like India. I have heard that India may see a coin by a leading private company there and it will raise a  lot of awareness about crypto. That company is famous of giving freebies to attract new customers and thus you sould expect bitcoin investors to get at least 10 times due to the awareness caused.

I agree with most of your words, but I'm not sure if it is possible to reach level of $25k in two months. I think it can happen, but rather within 4-6 months. Market still is not stable enough to gain trust of whales.

We are all positive that bitcoin value will rise up again, no matter how the negative news was been reported previously and a lots of banning issue still we are looking for bounce back and new height being achieved, like you I'm also not sure if bitcoin can go up to 25k just by months but it's safe to say that it will happen just keep holding and if we do have spare money then buy more while the value still cheap and its still in recovering process, who knows what can be the value after this year,.

It good to be positive because positive thinking yield positive result but in the situation of btc reaching $25K in just 2 month. I believe Sitnikov is too hopeful and too confident about the future cause it will around October-January next year before btc could clinch $25K-40K price range.

When the price like now , I'm looking only forward to invest all of my money into bitcoin and just hodling till it hit 100-200k$ :)

Bull run is coming, invest more because it is the best opportunity while the value are at low level, chances are just passing by,  Do not wait for another time because it will cause regrets. This is already happpened before and now smells like,Go to the moon ones again;)

Yesterday, the $ 10,000 level was again challenged, but unfortunately it was not reached. I think it is early for the $ 10,000 trendiest yet, so it is possible to see progress and tensions in the 9,000 band for a few more weeks. After a while, we are going to go back to a harsh uptrend and bear witness to the serious upsurge as we have been in the past. These are purely personal analyzes and ideas, not investment advice.

I don’t really get why people think bitcoin is a bubble, it is not a bubble for goodness sake. And I don’t think it will reach the $10k mark yet because of the new fork coming. It will either skyrocket or go down, and right now it is currently slipping down.

What next would be $20000 soon. The current price trend is heading to a strong high price within this year. The highest price which Bitcoin is going to reach would be a standard one and there won't be any sudden spike like last year. I think Bitcoin is growing stronger and stronger day by day and the current price is a healthier and standard compared to all the past years trend. Hope Bitcoin is heading to $60000 within this year end.

If I remember correctly, when bitcoin values ​​slip in the early months of the year. It was stopped at 12k and maintained for a relatively long time. So, after 9k achieved. I think the 12k mark is a milestone that needs to pass faster. But remember, we have not determined the growth mechanism of bitcoin. By the year 2017, the bitcoin value can not accelerate after April.

As practice has shown, large funds just dropped bitcoin. This is understandable - it was interesting to come at a minimum price and then have to chase the price upward. So, I am not happy with the arrival of institutional investors on this market.

The story goes on, i believe that bitcoin won't stop till it gets the 50k value. I am very confident that starting with the end of summer the price of bitcoin will be around 25k.

As discussed many times before, anything can become a bubble if it grows to big too fast.
Bitcoin had a couple of bubble-like growth periods and will have more; this doesn't make it a scam or ponzi or "a bubble".
Even now, after a way too quick growth, we already have a correction. Nothing unusual. And since you also asked for speculation, I think the Bitcoin will rise big, of course, with corrections now and then.
40-50k is possible in the next 365 days.

If a government in a country has accepted the existence of bitcoin officially most likely many online businesses will be standing with their payments using bitcoin so that can boost the economy of a country when the population can live prosperous.

As I was writing on other topics, I was buying bitcoins for the price from 6000$ to 10000$ (max), during last few weeks, every week from my salary. Now, I will hold them until 15,000$, then I'm going to sell 1/3 of them at 15,000$ and next part oat 20,000$ step. Right, now I'm doing research about ICOs and altcoins, in what I'm going to invest after selling 1/3 of my bitcoins.

When BTC closed at 9k $. I just thought their prices would continue to rise. The market is still a blue, but not. Today BTC prices are falling back, I do not understand the reason why but perhaps the whale was exhausted to pump into the market Crypto.

if bitcoin is used to store funds for all big investors around the world it seems to be very easy to trigger the bitcoin price and if bitcoin is used as the main currency of the world it is obviously very expensive price because it is definitely total supply bitcoin possible bisar can not accept all very high demand.

can reach 25k dollar not shorterm
but very long term, you must hold long term
maybe end year or next year bitcoin price can reach 25k dollar

maybe this will happen in this year but it could also happen in the next year as we know that everything could happen in the cryptocurrency. and with the volatility of the price, it could increase or decrease at any time and we don't know the exact time. but personally, I am sure that soon, the price will gain more power to get increase especially, in this year, I see that much good news in out there and in the real life, I see that many people attract to the crypto world and they see that this is a good opportunity to them to make money and to have a new investment.

Bitco's value is close to $ 10,000 again. But this amount has not passed yet. In spite of that, I believe that bitcoin is going to be at least $ 20,000 this year.

to go to $ 25k is still a lot of resistance and support that must be passed, so i think it takes a long time. but this year i think bitcoin can reach it. so it is clear for next year bitcoin has a positive trend because it can penetrate highest price of last year

Bitcoin reaching 10k is a distinct possibility in the short term, perhaps in the next month or two. However, I would say Bitcoin going straight-shot to 25k is even a lower possibility, since even with a fad, I can't see any conceivable spike in demand to be wanting to buy that much worth of bitcoin volume.

25,000 dollars! Think about that!

You have got this coin very well, a lot better than majority. Bitcoin is best for long term investment. The longer you are going to keep it with you, the more loyal it would become with your capital. If Eric can become millionaire with this coin,then anyone else can also. But the requirement is to hold this coin for a long duration of time.Bitcoin is expected to be worth 100k dollars by 2020.

Of course, there is no point in adding that if the bitcoin reaches $ 10,000, it will stimulate the investor and make the bitcoin more attractive than ever before, I believe it will soon be achieved. next month.

It has been a long time that the market value of the bitcoin was very low and that all the ones who had previously invested their money into it were very much worried because of the downfall of the market value of bitcoin but now, all of them are very much satisfied an are happy to see the market getting better and better with every passing day. We can expect much more improvement in the market value of bitcoin in future.

I see too much optimism among hodlers bitcoin, so I think it's too early for him to grow by 20k$. Too many hands in the market, we need to get rid of many more, otherwise the rocket will be heavy and will not reach the moon. Therefore, my forecast: now we go to 11-12k, then fall and a long flat.

I think bitcoin now in actual market is great. its rate is really amazing because the bitcoins performance hit upto 11k USD and I can sense this value will increase more.

For now this bitcoin again dropped below $ 10,000, but it seems to reach $ 10,000 will be achievable.

This will happen very soon in the next few days. It is likely to surpass the 10k mark in May, I believe the market will see strong growth in May. But you should be careful because it will go down whenever.

Bitcoin as percieved by counterparts as a bubble has been proven and answered many times already, it will not be a bubble especially now that bitcoin price has been undergone correction. Take a look at the trend for the past2 weeks, there are crazy ups then the big dip comes next, corrections are  essential to prevent bubbles.

There are a lot of speculators in bitcoin, and as long as they are there, this cryptocurrency will remain very volatile.

bitcoin can be the key to digitize almost everything we got dependent using internet or the things which runs by internet like some of our groceries that can be paid online or other merchandise even utility billings can be paid using bitcoins where you can never got to fall in line in the centers it eliminates more time and cost in making those things paid, also remittances in long distance places from US to Asia or any given place.

It's obvious that we have very strong resistance on $ 10 000.
I think that many investors have open sell orders around that amount and it's strong psychological limit.
Once we pass $ 10 000 I believe that in very short time we will reach $12 000 or $13 000.

today 9K. There are no guarantees that the price will rise to 20K in the near future. But according to many forecasts, the price of bitcoin will increase in this year. I hope that the rate of increase will not be so fast and speculative

It is too early to say that btc gets over 10k$ again. It can refresh 10k$ because it is so near but further it is not so easy to predict albeit now everything seems pretty well.

i think bitcoin will rise to 20k by December now it has increased to 9k little time market will be normal

As bitcoin is back to $10k, the market seems quiet bullish right now and in the near future it can reach $12k but i don't think that it will reach more than that as support isn't that much right now, if the bullish trend gets more support and less resistance then I believe we can go back to the previous year's high and this would be a quiet good thing to watch.

Bitcoin as storage value? in the past month with the decline in bitcoin prices, that alone proves that bitcoin is a bubble so if you think of bitcoin as a store of value you should already understand that the risk of falling very far away is present. Regarding bitcoin as bubble I think it can still be discussed.

I think that in the  near future bitcoin may exceed last year's highs of $ 20,000 per coin. If this happens, it will quickly reach levels of 50-60 000 US dollars and this is not the limit!

It will be going up and up and in few next months we will see new ath which will be only a beggining of big pump after that cause media again will be talking about this situation and thanks to that more and more people will invest in crypto.

At this moment the price of the bitcoin increasing again from $7000 last week to $9255 at this time and it road $10,000 again for sure this week or maybe next week we need only us is to buy more bitcoin and just hold our bitcoin and for sure we will earn a lot of profit if we do that. Don't panic selling because if you do that you will lose profit once the price increase again.

Something stopped pausing before reaching $ 9500, to be honest, I was expecting more, surely this spring is ending the crypto currency? :-[

Yes! To me and in my opinion, I feel Bitcoin can still be discussed as Bubble because its price at this bullish period is somehow steady/stable and it is hiking more than its depleting. However, what is next to me is for us to be more focused on how BTC shall if not generally accepted worldly as one of the virtual currencies legitimately accepted as medium of exchange, but should majorly or mostly in many nations BE! where the primary objective of Satoshi Nakomoto be met and better for us all other than all the time think of money that we shall be benefiting from the hike price of BTC. What should be our own legacy for our coming generation after our demise should equally be our prerogative, my advise.

Currently only the temporary phase of bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market, I believe that by the end of the year bitcoin can completely reach over $ 25k because bitcoin is receiving a lot of support from the investment community world. If possible, hold BTC, I think it is the simplest and most effective way to invest.

Hopefully we can get a nice push back to this 10k spot, but not looking like it will happen this week.
My prediction for the return to 10k is within the month of May, before June for sure.

Bitcoin will reach 10000$ within this month and i really believe bitcoin will rise high this year and will break it's highest peak at 22000$. Bitcoin still recovering and regaining and i know it will bounce high this year, all we have to do is to still hold our bitcoin because it will gives us high profits in the future.

Some people here are predicting, that bitcoin will hit a huge price this year, some are telling, that bitcoin will die, lol! We wil see anyway.

The bitcoin available in the market is in the hands of a few people. for example, not like the dollar. So you need to change hands. or production must be completed. But then what will happen - it is unclear.

Late 2017 yesterday the price of Bitcoin is very high and a record. But fitting into early 2018 Bitcoin prices slowly began to fall even I never imagined could down it. But finally recently Bitcoin prices are starting high again and still increasing until now. And I hope the Bitcoin price by the end of 2018 will be another record and the highest of the other coins.

I'm sure this month the bitcoin price will reach $ 10,000 and not if it has reached $ 10,000 then it will never drop below $ 9000, the future of bitcoin will continue to improve so I will focus on buying and holding for a long time.

I think if it can breach 10k and above we can see btc rise quickly to 15k levels. It is just a matter of some time where the journey of 9k to 10k become sooner it will help rest of the investors to either buy now or else they will miss out he bull run which can happen after crossing of 10k levels.

no way. we are just getting started. this is all so new and nowhere close to ending

if the true bitcoin breaks at $ 10k then definitely the bitcoin price will break into the $ 20k price again this year, you just have to wait for the bitcoin price movement and wait for the good news from bitcoin.

I think threads like this one are exist to be the best indicator of local experts' competence in matters of bitcoin's price predictions. Read it from beggining, it was a month awy from the biggest bitcoin pump  ;)

They say that there are a minor corrections that will going to happen first before it will reach $10,000 and above.so maybe this is it and the prediction is true but if this corrections is really in effect now then of course the next expectations will be prosperity of the holders as it will reach above $10,000 as per predictions too.

If bitcoin will reach 10,000 midway this month, then expect something better will follow. It's just like last year during the start of the 4th quarter where the historically drastic rise of bitcoin all started. So while bitcoin is still on the 9,000$ value, all we have to do is just wait.

reaching the high price of bitcoin is not a main target of bitcoin itself, the target of bitcoin is to making it more stablize and make it to implement into our daily needs or IOT and many more of it that was the great thing of it when bitcoin have maximized into it full potential to use and can being accepted to everything

Even if it doesn't break that 10k point, we still have to wait. Actually i'm ready to wait for a couple of years. Btc is just starting up and who knows what the value would be in 2 to 3 years. The price of btc in the next few months would most likely pale to what it's going to be in the future

Keep holding bitcoin and that is the best way for us to get the best profit because unlike other cryptocurrency in the market, bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency and it is the strongest cryptocurrency since it is the top 1 ranking in the coinmarketcap and all of the altcoins follow its trend so there is such a high assurance that we will have great future with bitcoin.

There are things might happen as bitcoin start increasing its value. The good and the bad side. In the good side, many will be in joy for hearing this news and will build their faith in bitcoin and will continue to buy more bitcoin. On the negative insight, most of the people who lose their hope will sell their bitcoins while its high enough, so that atleast get their investments will small profit or atleast small loss. Its just my own opinion, many possibilities might happen in the future and we still not sure if this is another start or the beggining of the end.

Since fast few days, we have seen a very much positive change in the graph of the market value of the bitcoin and that the market value of the bitcoin has started recovering in a very much significant manner and that all those who have bitcoins in their wallet are quite hopeful to see more positive change in the market value of bitcoin in future. there are likely chances that bitcoin will have this much value by the end of this month or even more than that.

This is a pretty good purpose of bitcoin. As for the market, I think bitcoin needs to break through the $ 11k threshold so that it can grow steadily, so it is not yet possible to conclude about the value of bitcoin. The sideways market so anything could affect the value of this market.

But in my opinion the BTC price is only at that level, can not rise even higher, although the market is now green again, but the speed is not high, BTC is standing at 9k $ and stomping on the spot. ETH too. The Crypto market is almost being saturated.

Next target of bitcoin will be 20000$ mark only which will be achieved mid of 2018 itself. About bubble bitcoin is not bubble if you see the past record bitcoin get corrected for few days / week after getting corrected it is bounce back to the next target.

Well, if bitcoin has touched $ 10,000, it looks like $ 15000 next. by 2017, bitcoin never reaches that price. and I feel that bitcoin prices will be $ 20k or more this year. I feel that the potential for bitcoin this year is greater than the previous year.

I don't doubt this optimism of yours. But our real goal here is to stabilize and really make bitcoin a strong contender as a universal currency and globally accepted for trade. Of course while making money on the side. More importantly, if Bitcoin stabilized, and it became widely used them all of us who trusted the crypto currency from the beginning will be rewarded quite handsomely

I do not think you are right. Because at this time everyone is buying Bitcoin because Bitcoin prices are not rising. It will increase in about two or three months. Surely Bitcoin prices will increase but not now

BTC is worth $ 10,000, which is something that can happen in a few days because the BTC is still very much interested and invested in it. After many days the value of BTC decreased, the BTC is showing signs of increasing again, followed by the value of BTC can increase to $ 20000 as high as the value of BTC in 2017.

THe price of bitcoin is really strong that it will be that price as soon enough or that price prediction of $20000 will be happen this june or july or maybe next year you will be blessed because once you have bitcoin now and hold them you will be good enough to have a good profit. As long as you have lot of patience. Decreasing of bitcoin is a part of it because people , investors are playing the risk to make money.

A whole lot which I do not believe we cannot pass if there is actually a huge demand for bitcoin, and by huge demand, I am referring to a real one and not the fake one with people getting greedy, but in this case, there is really no news to drive bitcoin up and the only thing we may just be getting are speculations which makes the market very volatile anyway and in that case, we should not expect anything too serious. However, only time will get to tell.

Potential increases along with adopters and businesses hence bitcoin must be having more potential now than previous years and which may help to reach some big prices if people decide to keep holding rather than listening to FUDs.

Bubble is something that is supposed to explode after some time. In other words, it is not going to exist once burst has taken place. It is almost a decade now since bitcoin came into this world and all it has done so far is in favor of holders. People have become financially stable. Bitcoin is the most volatile digital currency so it grows and decline unexpectedly but recovery is must after every dip.

Slower and healthier rise for the BTC compared in December 2017, probably will break 10K again this month.

After the 10.000 $ bitcoin happens, the value will be lower. but it just happens a little. cold cool lang. Thanks ..

bitcoin needs to break $10,000 first before it could increase higher and if this price breaks then the next target may be at $12,000 but I am not sure how long we can break more than $12,000 because it's too difficult for bitcoin to increase right now. maybe in the next month, we can see that the price can get up but my feeling, we can break $15,000 in this year or even more than $15,000. but of course, there will be any correction for the price so we need to stay alert to waiting this moment it comes.

If to believe predictions and forecast the price will increase and become even higher. I think that it is so powerful that it is really difficult to control the BTC price. Even Americans can't succeed in this

Hope bitcoin hit again at ten thousand dollars (10,000 USD). Nowadays the value of bitcoin is continue rising and for the fast seven (7) days the value of bitcoin hit to almost five percent (5%) and it is constantly happen every week. Possible the value of bitcoin hit to more than ten thousand dollars (10,000 USD) this month of May because of good price progress of bitcoin in the market cap. With the past 24 hours the value of bitcoin progress or increase is always hitting above five percent (5%) and for me, it is a good price recovery or price increase every 24 hours. Meaning if you followed this trend the value of bitcoin is easily hit to the highest price of it this Month of May.

I think bitcoin's value is close to $ 10,000 again. But this amount has not passed yet. In spite of that, I believe that bitcoin is going to be at least $ 20,000 this year.

I think it is the bitcoin will be the price next it reach in $10000, But as of now the bitcoin was run in $9000 so we need to wait to become $10000 price. And to those people holding bitcoin i think they are have a great opportunity to earn some profit of bitcoin.

For me bitcoin will take now ath and it will be going up for some next months to even bigger price, at the end of this year price will suprise lot of investors, that is my opinion.

 some consider it as an asset some as currency now bitcoin will touch all-time high price and then it crosses all-time high

We are always too expectant and presumptuous. Let us allow the market to do its thing and in its own course of time, it is normal for us to get to see this happening. However, the reason why we should be investing in bitcoin is long term and I wonder why a lot of people worry themselves about the short term when they are at least not trading. No one knows the future and anything can happen even differently than we could expect, so for me, I would say, $25k or not, we are still in the game and no one really knows.

i think that was good for any measurment, and bitcoin price i think with the regulated can't reach like before becasue many people in the goverment want it not making a high pump that can make they loss

Rest assured that the $ 10,000 price can be reached before 10 May, and now the price has reached $ 9600 even a few hours ago the price could reach $ 9900, but I'm optimistic that prices will continue to rise.

25k dollars is no target for bitcoin for this whole year or entire future. According to the predictions of crypto experts, bitcoin can easily touch 50k dollars by the end of 2018 and it be worth 30k to 50k dollars. This coin can really make a person rich if he trusts and keeps bitcoin with him for long duration. It has changed lives of many investors dramatically, saving them from financial crisis.

I'm not that optimistic. Such a long way to $10k and still can't break the threshold.
I would say BTC can rise 1-1.5k$ a month, and that would be better. Instability is what made many people sell BTC and apply to some other projects

Bitcoin being a bubble would greatly depend on its investors. If we hold on to our coins and we don't panic sell at dips but actually buy more. We can stabilize the price of Bitcoin and may in fact be a viable univesal currency that we all dream, then we can not call bitcoin as a bubble anymore. I just hope we can do this as a group.

Probably it will drop a little bit then btc will make a bounce movement hope that this year will be more profitable than last years or in the negative perspective btc will be around this levels and will gave us small profits and loses about your calculations

By the end of 2017 Bitcoin's price is touched the highest price in the history of Bitcoin life and no other coins that rival the price. But fitting into the beginning of the year the price of Bitcoin slowly began to fall again even I did not think with the price Bitcoin at the time. But now the price of Bitcoin little by little has started back high again. And it seems like this will last a long time. I also predicted the end of 2018 Bitcoin price will break the highest price record again.

Iwe think about the $ 10,000 price already happening in november, the price skyrocketed in december and could reach $ 19k, but unfortunately when the end of the year until now a lot of negative news that keeps the price down, I'm sure bitcoin worth millions of dollars not just $ 10,000.

Bitcoin's resistance at 10,000$ is somewhat a challenge for bitcoin this month. We've seen how very close bitcoin market price to 10,000$ lately but as of this writing, it went down to -3.28% in the last 24 hours that might even make its price to fall down to 8,000$ mark.

when it reaches such a price, I personally will still wait until a higher price, since even such a price does not cover all my expenses

I think it is still 600$ left to reach to that level, but once we will cross the barrier of 10000$ then the  bitcoin price will reach to a very high price, may be then in next few months we will reach to 20000$, because still the investors are interested in bitcoin and therefore it is expected that bitcoin price will very soon reach to 20000$ and will even continue increasing its price.

it is more than $600 to reach $10,000 and it seems the price difficult to increase because after it reaches $9900, the price is back to get down again and now the price is at $9348 but the sign still on the green line. I hope that slowly the price will increase although not much but it's stable to get increase and finally, we can reach $10,000. maybe this month, we cannot break $10,000 level price and still need to wait until next month.

Bitcoins today cannot even reach $10k dollar this month because of the people that keeps on investing and they are all hoping that the price might grow even more but still it was stacked in $10k dollar so i prefer to hold my coins this days.

As per my anlaysis, bitcoin should hit 40k by end of the year.. But, keepa close eye on June mid where bitcoin will start falling down again because it rises and closes by 40k by Dec 31, 2018

The latest situation showing that bitcoin will slowly reach 10,000. If there is a possibility of slowly rising to 20,000 without decreasing, we should be wary of possible bubbles. Currently bitcoin is already used as a payment system even though bitcoin does not qualify as currency. Looking at the value of bitcoin that tends to be stable, it will be perfect for long term trading.

Simply, most new investors are even bothered about the short term now and they expect a miracle should just happen to skyrocket the value of bitcoin in a short while to make all their dreams of becoming wealthy come true. It is just a matter of patience and like you said, long term is what we should always be focused at $25,000 is not that hard if bitcoin is set for a bull run but it is not something that we should expect anytime soon at all.

Happening this year is something that is going to be pretty close to the end of the year and by then we may not actually get to hit the $25k or barely do. Next year however, there is a huge possibility and I believe it is something that is very much achievable. Nevertheless, the market is always full of surprises and as the same way we are imagining the possibility of not seeing it happen, that is the same way we can also imagine the probability of seeing it happen.

I think bitcoin is perfect as an investment tool not as currency or money storage. Because bitcoin from year to year the price has increased then it is very suitable for investment

I am thinking the same as you and we have a big chance to see bitcoin will increase more than $10k or even $25k again in the next year because, in this year, I think it's too difficult to reach more than $20k. besides that, until this month, bitcoin movement is not too high and the highest price that bitcoin can reach is at $99xx so I am curious with what will be happening in the last of 6 months in this year and I hope that the price can increase significantly so, at the end of this year, we can get party again like the last year.

Next is still 10000)) what was you thinking opening this thread? I bet it will be walking around 10-10,5 mark for a couple more months. No preconditons at all it can grow fast

I hope we are living same scenerio now. We really need this. Bearish must finish.:)

Bitcoin has been lingering near 10k dollars since last month and I admire this thread to be honest. It is important to have some idea about bitcoin future value and learn other’s point of view in this regard. Last time, I checked in, bitcoin was 9k dollars. Like you said, 10 grand is not a big or even a target for bitcoin. It is expected to touch 40k dollars by the end of this year and indeed, it will.

Bitcoin will definitely cross  $ 15000 USD soon as the crypto market started to recover back the price of bitcoins will hit the highest point by this year ending. Early investors of bitcoins are saying that bitcoins could go up to $ 50000 USD by December as every year ending or in the third quarter the prices will skyrocket and will hit the highest mark bringing new millionaire's from the million dollar market. May be as the prices start to go up due to high demand for bitcoins the volatility of bitcoins could come down as every day new merchant's started adopting bitcoin and blockchaintechnology.

I think from 9.3k to this level there has been no big news where the speed is going up. So it's possible to test at level 10k if it can keep it or an accident can happen.
It is expected that the target 10k before reaching or possibly when it reaches it will fall slightly and a small correction may occur.

I think bitcoin will skyrocket to the moon if it was used as currency. Then will just go back to its price once the hype goes down. From what I have heard of, there are groups of people who were buying and selling at the same time and its affecting the price of bitcoin. Its probably a combination of rich people who doesn't care about money.  One thing is for sure, bitcoin will be used more often and the demand will increase each year.

The $ 10000 BTC price is unlikely to be reached at this time and beyond. The BTC market is now saturated. Perhaps in the future they will no longer be the coin head of the Crypto market. will replace with other coin, more potential.

Well it is already concluded because Bitcoin is in dip now in which it reach below $8,500. Our expectation that it will be $10,000 by this month i think will be a false alarm because of this Mt.Gox disposing Bitcoin again. We just hope that not so many holders will going to panic to sell-off their Bitcoin too because if that will happen then it will be more difficult for Bitcoin to reach $10,000 again.

I think bitcoins have no goals in price at all because they are been created as a digital currency at all and not as an investment. And even if they have reach 10k in the market and much more that is because of their people because of us who buys bitcoins because the volatility of the bitcoins are depending in us not the bitcoins alone bitcoins price are depends on the demand so their price increase is not a goal it is kust a plus

No I think it will not happen again. Big bump is now not possible. The previous one is now recovered. It is good for new investors because $20k was a big price and most people were not able to buy bitcoin in that price. Those who sold their holdings in $20k have made thousands of dollars against their investment. But the buyers will have to wait for more time to recover their deficit.

I do not think BTC will achieve $ 10,000 in the future. Currently there are too many altcoin to be updated on CMC. Thus, a large number of investors have invested in new altcoins, thus taking up most of the BTC market.

Yeah I also think the same. Now the growth is normal and according to the market value. Big pump and dump has finished and now people’s trust is building again. The price is proceeding towards $10k and it will grow more with the passage of time. It is the right time to buy some bitcoin because in the near future investors will earn handsome money.

I can not wait to see the $ 10,000 price immediately, as we know that the last $ 10,000 price is February and over 3 months has not returned to the $ 10,000 mark, I'm sure if the price could reach $ 10,000 then the price will skyrocket.

Maybe yes, after BTC reaches 10 thousand, the price for it will fall again. Some time will pass, and t Bitcoin will go directly to the Moon to reach the top.

Let's wait until it happen because it will really happen.
Price now is still below $10,000 but we are still in the first half of the year, more good news to come in the 2nd quarter and we might see
another big pump again, just hold and continue monitoring the market.

maybe it will come soon , after good news released from usa.bitcoin and bitcoin cash accepted as tax payment to usa govemerment.no more doubt that this new will make bitcoin and altcoin price rise again.

that will be trigger and make market movement become passionate again.and we can see in coinmarketcap ,bitcoin price and some altcoin in green condition.it shows good effect from that news.

We are looking forward to $ 10,000 soon, more than 3 months the price has never been returned to $ 10,000 and I hope to be achieved this month, some time ago I was optimistic that $ 10,000 was achieved because it had reached $ 9960 but unfortunately the user dump again to go down.

I am waiting for this time to come. Although I guess when Bitcoin reaches 10 thousand, it will fall a bit. After that, a real pump, the way of BTC to the Moon will start.

It can reach 11K next. Many people support BTC. It can really make our life easier. I am talking about fast transactions and great safety of the currency.

the next thing if bitcoin reach $10,000 is bitcoin needs to break every level of the price so the price can be back to the highest price. I admitted that this will be difficult as we know that the price is down too deep and it is a long time before the price can increase higher. I am sure that bitcoin can be back to the highest price.

we have to believe bitcoin price will soar again.we know community support is very hard , and it can be good sign for bitcoin future.back to highest level is not impossible for us, as long as we believe.

let us pray together bitcoin price can soar again and reach $11.000 .i see in technical chart there is bullish engulfing in daily chart.and now bitcoin rise again aroung $77000.

After 10K it was gone up to almost 20K before year 2017 ends, right? So it means means that bitcoin will still goes up beyond that but it will not be an ideal to make it a primary currency since the prices are not fixed. It will be hard to use a volatile currency and that is the reason why there are only few who will accept bitcoin as payment. So i guess that bitcoin will remain as an investment for a long time not unless there are some changes with the ups and downs of the value.

I can't wait for bitcoin to reach 10,000$, this is the prayer of every bitcoiner and bitcoin investors, but if the price of bitcoin reach 10,000$, the coin will be very difficult to earn, because the demand will be too high, to the limited bitcoin.

The only market that bitcoin sustain is online world and all the transaction based in it. If you think that bitcoin is not currency then yes it isnt because we made it that way, we made it purposefully an asset which can be used for the profiting, investing, having trades with it and gambling etc. There is no way we can use it as currency,

However, we do have an option to use it for the online transaction as the merchants are accepting these payments through third party portals. This will rise eventually and the use will become very prompt. So may be future could be somewhat different.

Further the price will grow up to 20 000 $ and then go to 100 000 $. Course will be course correction

The post is about the combination of various possibilities around the Bitcoin. First Bitcoin can be bought as an investment for profitable outcomes. The technology can of course be used as a store of value and is regarded as the future international currency. These tendencies lead the technology to a summit height where it will be possible for people to use it in any way. The future of the technology looks definitely looks good.

10k was already acquired last 2017, This year is very challenging because bitcoin value seems stick to 7k bracket. For me this is normal because if we based the value of bitcoins in history, It constantly fluctuates, I know it will recover's in the other day, So this year is the best opportunity while the price is low:)

A lot of people was just waiting for the prices to go down so that they can buy more, but the real question is "Where's the bottom?"

And when will she break this level? I think we have already passed all kinds of levels and support and the bottom and we still remain in a bear trend. Like there's another level that defies the rules of the market. Good news is coming, but we're still downstairs. How are we going to get up? Do you have any thoughts on this?

Bitcoins is showing good sites as in 1 hour it's up 8% today, I thought the price will continue to drop at a poor level but it has recovered.
So, I would not be surprise if it will continue to rise and will reach $10,000 even in just a short period of time.

Don’t just worry. Things are getting fine and worst sooner or later. It can never be same for so long time. So better to adjust yourself and learn real facts that are common in this world. This would help you to make good understanding the life circle of bitcoin. As prices are getting higher little bit, sooner they would be leaving this good line and getting in bad line. Relax and get profit.

It is true that bitcoin lovers always worry about bitcoin and the usage and demand for this currency will always be there until the world finish and if the people could start investing in this currency then the long term growth can be expected.

A lot of people are just waiting for the prices to go down so that they can buy more.

if investors use bitcoin as a store of value? "
definitely bitcoin prices will be much higher even the value is unthinkable by us.

I am still very confused market is not stable. It is slowly rising up and down suddenly it is hard to predict the top and bottom of it. However, it will soon stabilize back to give the market community a strong signal of strong confidence again. The demand for profits is increasing day by day.

Right now the situation is very optimistic, however, everything could happen, therefore, the smartest way to invest in digital assets is to build a well-diversified portfolio based on your risk preference and investment goals. Such a portfolio would likely include a substantial holding in bitcoin and small exposure to promising tokens. I have found a trustworthy project. It is called Socratus.  It is an insurance ecosystem which provides a digital platform for insurance companies. So any insurance company can connect the platform to become the part of Insurance Digital Ecosystem.

I really think that we all know that Bitcoin's price really soar and is now the most expensive crypto currency in the market. Butnmy issue is its volatility. I just hope that in the near future that we'll see a marked stability of Bitcoin so it could be adopted as a primary currency by businesses. Then again, if Bitcoin hits more than 10k USD then who am i to complain.

well, expect the current situation to turn into a very high price increase and surpass the $ 10k price. but for now, bitcoin prices are stable at $ 8k, and I think, for now, prices are still very difficult to rise.

10k $ for bitcoin is still questionable not to be said beyond?! For the time being it has to get strong support at around 8200 ish. After that, taking positive factors into account, we can talk about 10k and beyond. Hopefully by the end of summer when all holidays are over ppl will be ready to invest and thus bull run may continue.

I think the possibility of a bitcoin price return to the $ 10000 level in the medium term is very high, now you can see that after returning to the $ 8500 level, the current bitcoin prices are adjusted to $ 8100 level. I believe this is a necessary adjustment so bitcoin prices can rise sharply in the next few days, so I believe you should buy and invest in bitcoin at this time.

I suppose, as soon as Bitcoin reaches 10 thousand again, it will rush up. In less than 2 months it can reach 20 thousand or even more. I am holding this cryptocurrency, therefore I wish it would happen.
 8)

Yeah bitcoin market price always reach to 10K USD and whats next is clearly selling their BTC holding for those people who are buying on a cheaper price in this way they had earned already since 10k USD is one huge market price for bitcoin wherein usual or the baseline market price is 6k-7K USD.

I think the bitcoin price at the end of 2017 has once reached up to $ 20k and seems to be falling very sharply now you have to buy it right now because bitcoin prices later this year will rise in price.

Bitcoin in 2017 really is the best which they reach 20K USD price. But this 2018 it's a challenge to the bitcoin that I hope they will also reach it when the year end comes.

If we look at the past graph of the market prices of the bitcoin, then we will get to know that it was 20 k $ in the last December. Since last few weeks, there was a downfall in the market value of the bitcoin but now things have started getting better and that we can expect that the market value of bitcoin will rise even higher in coming days which will help the investors in making of more money.

I guess, when it reaches 10 thousand, this will be a psychological point. It is about 70% probability that it will start growing very fast to reach the maximum, 15 thousand. Probably, we will see it will cost 20K in December.

When bitcoin reaches the price of $ 10,000 then bitcoin will be stable and will begin to show its popularity again. There will be more opportunities to buy bitcoin. Many States will contribute to the development of these modern crypto coins.

hope it will happen soon. may be very good when bitcoin prices reach $ 10,000 more. of course it will make many parties again interested to invest in bitcoin again. I hope it will happen this month, or next month.

Some people will invest their money in bitcoin when they notice that bitcoin price increases again but the truth is the best opportunity for us to buy bitcoin is on the lowest price. I hope many people still invest their money in bitcoin at the lowest price so they can earn more when all time high happen again.

I think it is this period that bitcoin's price will start yo rally to bring excitement to the investors and once again have its existence felt. The  succeding market activity will be down maybe the most will be by 1000$ by the end of the month but will start to recover by second week of september and goes up to 15000$ by November and the rest will be another ATH 25k$ by December.

I think there will be 10k$ next time on december as always there is "santa claus rally" and people start buying because they think it's good :) It can be more this year if the ETF will be succes

Yes, you are right.
I see many of them who don't trust bitcoin. Even though those who have already sold will feel sorry. And they bear their own risk to sell it. And I saw a few days ago bitcoin began to increase little by little.

Exactly. First Bitcoin needs to rise as high as $10k because right now, the market values is $8100 and the price is also a bit stable in the market. The more inflow of funds into the crypto market, the more rise in the values of Bitcoin.

Once we have a value more than $10k, Bitcoin will have jumps in it values like we had last year and as a result the price might reach to a value more than $20000 is something the experts predicts.

As investment, bitcoin very profitable. If we saw bitcoin growth, the price always increasing year by year and give big profits for investor. Early 2017, bitcoin price around $1000 and highest price at $20k on december 2017. So investor gain more than 20x just in one year. No investment can give gain like bitcoin did.

and if bitcoin reach $10k, then the next is bitcoin need to increase more, and I hope it will reach $20k again like the last year. bitcoin still have a chance to grow more than $10k, and it will happen, hold your bitcoin and wait for the time it comes. maybe it will be a long journey to keep and sometimes makes you loss patient to save, but in the end, if you can do this, bitcoin will give a big reward for you, and you can get a significant profit from bitcoin itself. so, no matter how low the price is down, don't be afraid and still hold the bitcoin.

It is difficult for the BTC to rise to $ 10,000, the market is down and the pennies are falling, while many have withdrawn from the market.

Currently 10000$ look like psychological barrier for bitcoin, but I think that very soon it is going to cross that barrier and even after that it is not going to stop but will then continue increasing and possibly will reach to 20k again in December.

Naturally, we all wish to see the stable market but we all must admit: it might not happen. You just have to get more skills and experience in trading to earn even during the periods when the market is down.

Market today is very stable I guess. It has the increasing in this week and also decreasing to keep balance of the value. It is good to know that the falling down of bitcoin stops and this year again starting to increase. I think the next value will stable at $12k-$20k soon. So buy bitcoin.

Yes i do agree on you, most of the crypto analyst today are expecting for the price of cryptocurrency to reach $50k dollars before the year ends and that is the reason why you should hold your coins today.

Next you will see bitcoin by $9,000 that by $8,000, $7,000 and even $6,000 and then after all those following you will be still not confident in the upcoming rise of it very cool predictions right.

Regarding this price range, I think we must be realistic to maximum level we can. How anybody can thinks of bitcoin price at such highest level. This isn’t right amount at the end of this year. But yes, you can assume this after few decades as basic price for bitcoin. Things aren’t that much favorable for bitcoin but sometimes you have some sixes on the hit and we assume this one at the end of this year.

Based on my research and prediction, I think Bitcoin will definitely cross  $ 15000 USD soon as the crypto market started to recover back the price of bitcoins will hit the highest point by this year ending. Early investors of bitcoins are saying that bitcoins could go up to $ 50000 USD by December as every year ending or in the third quarter the prices will skyrocket and will hit the highest mark bringing new millionaire's from the million dollar market. May be as the prices start to go up due to high demand for bitcoins the volatility of bitcoins could come down as every day new merchant's started adopting bitcoin and blockchaintechnology. Good luck my friend.

I think bitcoin price is between 600 to 7000$ for the last 2 months. Since the year end is approaching fast  we can see one big bull run which can make bitcoin prices above 12 - 15 K. Lets keep the fingers crossed.

I think now many will start selling bitcoin and it will become a little cheaper. But it will not be long, in a few days, it will again resume the increase in value. My prediction is bitcoin will hit 15000$ before this year was end i know that is exage prediction but i hope it will return as late as 2017.

if the bitcoin price reaches a price of $ 10000 for this year, I think the next target will be $ 20,000. well, but so far the price of bitcoin hasn't arrived at that price, so we have to wait for it. I believe in the near future the price will be reached /

Sooner or later, the bitcoin will quickly reach the $ 10000 price this year, if that happens then the bitcoin market will have more investors buying it as well as the bitcoin market capitalization will increase rapidly. the market will recover

Yups,even stocks exchange are dropping so i believe that it will be very hard for bitcoin to come back to $10,000 value as we can see market capitalization is down to 200billion from almost a trillion last 2018 my advice to all concern is be contented in what is the prices now besides we can earn in downtrend not only in uptrend

when our dreams have come true when many investors and countries have used bitcoin as an investment and also a currency, there we are one step ahead of the others because we already have investments ahead of them. at that time we just harvested the results that we live today

Yes, it might be possible, because bitcoin is the first coin in cryptocurrency and bitcoin is ranked number one in virtual currencies.

I think if you will sell now your bitcoin I'm assure that you will regret of it later because there's a big wave that the value of bitcoin will reached $20000 soon.

yes so many opportunity for bitcoin, and also bitcoin could be use as blockchain based for enterprise( i read it on some news ) bitcoin also could be usefull for retirement investment.

where can you guarantee? unless we have strong data about development of bitcoin, and a statement that will appear. when btc goes down just like this, there are lots of panic sell. of course patience is main key to waiting for all of that

There's no guarantee, it's all about how investors and holders believes if they will wait and keep holding their coins chances of bouncing back to 20k$ or much higher than that can be possible to achieve again, long term investors won't worried about anything they know that waiting will bring good results for their investment.

Yeah keep your fingers crossed and keep your hope high as market has started to move, now again bitcoin is getting high in price, it never remain the same, one and only thing we need to do is holding so the more bitcoin we will hold the more price of bitcoin will get high, it is perfect time for us to buy as letter on the price of bitcoin will be high once again so then we will not have anytime as we have right now, so just buy don’t worry about the price.

Whales are manipulating the market and Many new people are selling in panic. This is what whales want that we sell in panic and they buy back low. and then we again buy back high.

hat right, 
"They are regulating crypto exchanges and block large amounts of cash, now I can only get enough money for one simple jumping round, if I try to cash out more, they will not allow me. if people could sell their Bitcoins, price wouldn't be $9878"

your comment like my think

Bitcoin being a bubble would greatly depend on its investors. If we hold on to our coins and we don't panic sell at dips but actually buy more. We can stabilize the price of Bitcoin and may in fact be a viable univesal currency that we all dream, then we can not call bitcoin as a bubble anymore. I just hope we can do this as a group.

Bitcoin is currently not improving and the price is always down. But I am still useless with bitcoin that bitcoin will definitely rise again.

Honestly I am disappointed with the current price of bitcoin which reaches under $ 10,000. I still hold back my bitcoin, because I still believe in bitcoin will definitely rise again, remember that the earth is spinning.

I think the next bitcoin reaches $ 25,000

I think it is early for the $ 10,000 trendiest yet, so it is possible to see progress and tensions in the 9,000 band for a few more weeks. After a while, we are going to go back to a harsh uptrend and bear witness to the serious upsurge as we have been in the past. These are purely personal analyzes and ideas, not investment advice.

this growth has caused many to get confused in all the rules of the investor and in the blockchain technology. I believe that at this moment the funds were just selling, not buying bitcoin

Well if the bitcoin was in the price of $10000 the next for this is growing up again the price to reach the price of $17000.
Ill hope it will happen again so that all of us in here invested bitcoin will become to rich.

In a place where bitcoin fell down  from $17,000 to $10,000 in a sharp and unexpected manner, we, the small investors, hope that it will rise in the same way it fell. But besides hope we should also take in consideration of technical analysis of the market and keep up with the economic news that can imbalance the price. And I believe in time it will come back to at least prices of $15,000.

Bitcoin can used as investment, store of value and currency at the same time. As investment, bitcoin is high risk investment but its profitable if we are see on history price and as store of value, bitcoin maintain our asset from decreasing value. I am believe bitcoin price will be rising in near future and people will have knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency

ah nice topic. i miss those old times. it hit almost 20k usd after this topic ahaha  8) i believe that we will see much higher points in the future. (ok not in 2018 maybe) important thing is to keep calm and believe in crypto.

I miss when seeing bitcoin raised to $10,000 and now its so sad with bitcoin price still lower and at $6,600 price position. Maybe any one know will be back of bitcoin price more than $10,000 or bitcoin will stay with $6,000 forever.

Bitcoin prices that are too expensive are not good for bitcoin itself. There will be a lot of controversy and negative opinions. There is even a likeness to "Tulip Mania" which occurred in 1637. Where something worthless becomes very valuable and very expensive in a short time. Because of the turmoil, it finally fell quickly approaching 0, resulting in millions of people losing money. Therefore, I hope bitcoin will fluctuate normally like fiat currency, to avoid bubble burst.

Yeah right, those days where most of us complaining about transaction fees and delayed, hahaha.. but looking at it right now still holding its ground with 6k-7k$ range still looking forward for things to be more stronger run coming from bitcoin and all those alts which also have a strong potentials we just need to be more patients and calmly look for  much better  future out from bitcoin / crypto industry.

I don't believe that this kind of behaviour will manifest on the market for the simple fact that the trading volume is low, so people hold to their assets till the price will be right. Go crypto!!!

Really? This is so awesome! I have been waiting so long to see this again. Actually patience does not disappoint me.

Nothing is permanent and with the volatility as involved in btc price of 6k is nothing to it and will not last for ever or many be in this money itself we may see some bull run to start as we have started with the last quarter of the year . SO price will start to rise a bit as expected.

I think, all cryptocurrency users are waiting for the price of bitcoin to be $ 10000 again. well, hopefully this year the price can return to that price. although it does not rule out the possibility, but now the price is quite difficult to survive above high prices.

I think if the price cannot increase higher, it is better to stable in this price so the altcoin can move to the higher price and help us to make a profit. And until the altcoin finishes to increase, then it's time for bitcoin to increase and the market will recover. I still waiting for the price like other people and we have the same hope to see bitcoin can reach higher price again.

maybe the next bitcoin price will be more expensive and the price of this bitcoin can be more than the price of $ 20k someday inevitably there will be less supply of bitcoin then the price will become more expensive.

Some famous crypto analytics are sure that in 2019, Bitcoin can even reach 25 thousand dollars. I believe that it can really happen. In 2017, nobody expected that BTC could go to the Moon and reach 20K.

Bitcoins value is stable for a while,its stable between this two numbers -6000 ,7000 - for a few months already . Maybe it will reach in a few months 10k but there are small chances for that to happen . We will see if bitcoin wil reach that value this year.
