Bitcoin Forum

Coupled with the rate at which the price of bitcoin has been increasing lately. I'd like to know how long it would take bitcoin to reach $25k since it took it just a year to rise from $1k to $10k(which was pretty cool and fast) but I doubt if it can rise as fast as that again

Although we're already half way to achieve that mark ($12.5k) , it's still a long way to go, and there might be events which might occur that will affect the rise and fall of BTC price. Imagine, in just a couple of months, it already reach $10k were people most predicted it will happen before the end of December or 1st qtr. 2018. Nowadays, its really hard to predict because of its movement which is kinda gradual. As Bitcoin continue to increase its popularity and expanded its purpose, to which more people will be influenced and accept this digital currency, it might reduce the time frame needed to reach the $25k mark.

You know the volatility level of Bitcoin, right? And also you know, that Bitcoin can be hardly influenced by some news. Of course there is also a "whales" influence (big market makers). So to predict the time-frame for reaching $25k is too hard.

It all depends how it will work out when it will be listed on future trading on CMC. I think it can reach 25k in 2018 and 50k in 2019, and that will be 1 trillion market size for BTC alone.

already too much prediction already made by professional and some of them is logical and some of it is irrational
it needs 8 years to accept by so much people and investor at 10k price
and it just need a couple of week to reach from 10k to 12.5k
i think this one will go up higher and down a little because some people will take profit and someone who lost train will try to make it down for a while as usual, there is so many big investor who lost this train
time frame to reach 25k??
maybe in a year or two IF no big bad thing's happen

As you can see the rise rate of bitcoin you can alresdy say that it would reach $25k mid 2018. Nevertheless there is still worry on how it will drop, yes for now it is rising rapidly and supassed some of the market investments. But always remember the volatility of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency which make it to risky yet enjoyable to invest. For now let us enjoy how bitcoin plays in the market and on how we profit on it. $25k by 2018 is real and much prediction is $45k by the end of 2018.

Today Bitcoin rose by more than 10%. At this rate, we are going to breach the $25,000 per coin mark before the end of this month. I am not joking... The next major resistance level is going to be at $25,000 per coin. Those who were planning to sell their coins have already done that, at 10K levels.

If we really are to look at the increase rate of bitcoin right now, that is a value that is possible. However, we also have to consider that nothing can last forever. Anything can happen in the middle of it all that can cause a downtrend in the value of bitcoin. With the way things are going though, it seems bitcoin is really taking up all the space in the atmosphere and the value just seems unstoppable which to me is even scary right now and I would want to watch out.

Depends on where you think we are on the curve..

If it would follow this rate then we MIGHT get there by end of next year. And that is a MIGHT. It's quite volatile, the main reason people are flocking to it now. There are still a lot of things that can happen. We are not dealing with simple supply and demand, these are anxious people who are not always rational.

So many things can touch off a plunge, like more bad news from China, IRS, etc. Same way that there might be events that might push people to buy BTC, like the rumored plan by the EU Central Bank to remove insurance.

With how bitcoin is performing right now i can say that maybe we will reach 25K by May of 2018 but since there are other contributing factors that affect the rise and fall of bitcoin's price, no one can accurately say when we will reach that point. Specially if the whales makes a sudden dump most small players will feel the impact of that and it will take some time for the price to recover.

If the bitcoin is going with the same rate then we can hit $25K in just three months but i hope there maybe a price correction will occur soon at the end of this year or with the new year so the bitcoin may hit that value in the mid 2018.

as long as the scaling, slow transaction and higher fees issues are not fixed by the core developers, I doubt it will have a vast increase of 25k for this coming year, that amount requires a lot of users, investors and traders to reach that price and with slow network and scaling problems these will just get worse resulting for other people to switch to other cryptocurrencies, but I hope these issues will address properly by the devs and the promising prices will reach this coming year.

Judging on the high increase of media attention I'd say we're in the mania phase right now. The interesting part being that in the case of BTC we are seeing the public entering the market way before institutional investors, so who knows where we really are. And especially, how institutional investors will shape the market.

But maybe... just maybe... we're not in a bubble after all. Yet.

Well, it is a pretty stupid math if you are just taking the current growth and multiplying by the number or days :) Also I can't take serious (in average term) all those resistance levels simply because BTC is in a pretty big bubble right now. If it gets higher now then the correction (real one, not this +- 1k bullshit) will be very painfull.

We can't really compare the rate of price rise this year and interpolate that it will be continued growth with that kind of increase. This year is like more than 1000% but we are not sure if that goes with 2018 as well. I think the growth will not be the same next year though. Bitcoin price has been pushed lately to the extreme that it could go lower in the next coming years. Most probably around 2-3 years we can get to $25,000. There are still the scaling issue, high transaction fees and slow confirmation that will continue to haunt us. I'm all with all this bullish run but at some point in time we are going to hit a wall that growth will be very slow.  Let's see how it goes though, and I hope that I'm wrong with my prediction ( which I usually does).  ;D

It really depends on the news or forks that's coming too. It maybe too near to reach $25k but it is still a long way to go. Since bitcoin is mostly known for its price fluctuations, it is also possible it might decrease a few dollars before it'll try to reach a new ath again. And bitcoin is more widely known now than it was way back the first of this year so we can't really compare the price because of bitcoins popularity.

Well, I am expecting last quarter of the next year to hit $25K level but it won't remain stable at that point because the growth rate of adoption would be massive but mass awareness would be slower so things like panic selling would take place with a higher frequency resulting in increase in the volatility in the price. Thus, I think we might see some new high levels but it won't stabilize at that point for a long time.

I think it will take from one year to two years of period to reach that much price. The thing is we will have to reach that much market cap first so that we can see the ray of hope to reach out the 25K valuation for the bitcoin. Current market stats is at 200B plus and we will need more 350 +/- Billion market cap to be reached by that period so that we can see that high rates. This is all about the money that is being put into the market. If the rate of investment continues like this then there will be good chance to reach the price of 20K in next six months and then we can predict the market agin after there.

Well no one can say with certainty but we are now half way there. If I had to guess I think we will see $25k sometime in the summer of 2018. I think we will push towards $50k by the end of 2018. If bitcoin follows its recent trend it can be much sooner and within the first months of 2018.

No such thing as a definite time frame for bitcoin's rise to be honest, and the straight pushes are somewhat unexpected since everyone is anticipating the insane rises to happen by December 18 onwards. It seems like the Wall Street are already trading with bitcoin but just being discreet about it. Within the next year is a long enough time frame for the price to develop at such a value but then again this is bitcoin and this is not your traditional market. Predictions and analyses might seem to be sensible but oftentimes bitcoin just don't give a rat's ass about those.

By the pace the bitcoin price is going up,I think it will reach $25k in no time..some analysts are speculating that bitcoin price may reach $1 million in next 10 years

I guess it won't take long to get to $25k, i think 1 year enough to get it. Forget the time it takes Bitcoin from $1 up to $ 10k, because now Bitcoins has a lot of supporters. Particularly this year a lot of things that interest the media about Bitcoin used as a means of exchange hackers in the sale of computer lock downs or how Bitcoins banned in some countries. This is interesting, because with more and more published in various media, more and more people are learning Bitcoins and invest.

In my opinion at 12.2018 Bitcoin will brake 25.000 USD dam.

I have no doubt that the price will reach the above-mentioned $ 25,000 in the next couple of months as the market has attracted more and more participants inspired by the unstoppable bitcoin price growth. The very interesting thing to see the opposite direction move or even a number of consecutive moves (sharp and significant drops) and to assess system resistance as it provides insights on long-term market investment attractiveness.

I hope that it would take almost eight to twelve months to reach that price.One of the reason is the interest which wall street companies show nowadays in bitcoin.Another reason is people have understood well that neither BCH nor any other forked coin could be considered as threat to bitcoin.Also,the high media exposures acts as adding fuel to the fire.                                           

You have to remember that bitcoin has been actively climbing in price for almost 10-years at this point and we're half-way to your $25k mark; It could take another 8-years if it takes as long as it did from the start to climb up another 1/2 off the price you'd like to see it at. Bitcoin is super touchy though and has surprising spikes, so I doubt we're looking at another 8-years, not even another 3. My best guess put's Bitcoin being at $25k/coin towards the end of 2018, early 2019.

The only way bitcoin climbs that high to begin with though, is if it avoids any pitfalls that would bee significant enough to knock bitcoin off-course. Anything that drives investors, interest or transactions away from bitcoin is going to slow down the trend and worst case scenario, even reverse it. If you think that bitcoin doesn't have the potential to shoot up the way it has in the past, I would ask you to reconsider that position, because it certainly has the room to grow, look at comparable market caps and you'll see we're barely getting the growing pains started.

Developers have a lot of responsibility to keep this train rolling, wish them luck or we'll never see $25k per coin or mass adoption.

I doubt that this rate is sustainable. It would mean two orders of magnitude rise in two consecutive years, more than $100k by the end of 2018. It is not impossible, but very unlikely. However, doubling of the price (followed by corrections and plateaus) can happen in a single month. It's impossible to predict, but I think it can easily happen within the next year.

Well yeah it likely won't 10x or 12x next year Bitcoin won't but this doesn't mean that 25k can't come in Q1 of 2018. Infact I am expecting this bull run to surge a bit longer and I think 25k will occur before Q2 has happened. I am not as bullish as McAfee or the other fellow but I still believe next year will be another breakout year for BTC.

if this happens we will have many new rich, thanks to bitcoin

There are many news coming and besides that good news that are coming we still have the free coins that are to come... in the future we will probably see the $25000


I also think so, have many overly optimistic forecasts and many are exaggerated, so we have to be cautious

The road could not as long as we think if the target is a price of 20 000 k, it could be possible in one year and half, and i don't have an optimistic character.

According to present progression in bitcoin trend we can predict it will hit $25k with in the end of 2018.
There are many legends in finance sectors are planning to involve in crypto currency market and investments. So i don't have any doubts on hitting the moon.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/billionaire-hedge-fund-legend-bitcoin-price-will-reach-40000-2018/

You won't get an answer here because no one knows. If we will just based on the current price behaviour, with continous movement without a dip or retrace, then even next week you can see that price. But wait, that's is "IF" and again only a speculation. There are analysis with good strong and basis but that is based on the chart readings which is sometimes not applicable to bitcoin price movement.

Just do what you can in order to take advantage of the current price movement. It wil just give you a headache if you will still think when is that $25,000 will happen.

Bitcoin is gaining a lot of attention for breaking the 10.000$ barrier. This is causing new investors to flock to the markets, which in turn gives higher volume and price. Speculative assets like Bitcoin's price is driven by volume, and a higher volume usually gives higher price. If we assume that this effect is exponential, which I think is fair, then 25.000 should be not very far away. I'm thinking 2018, actually.

January 2018, from the looks of it right now.

It seems like the market has discarded any bit of sanity left and is going batshit insane. That's going to be one bumpy ride once the market sobers up, let's see if USD 10,000,- holds once correction comes.

We are hopeful that bitcoin will continue sustain its price for a long time. To me if  bitcoin price will continue increasing its price with the same ration then we can expect that bitcoin price will rachto 25000 in next one year, in the end of 2018 we can expect that the price of bitcoin will even 2500$ in next 12 months.

If bitcoin can go up $7k in just 3 months then $25k will be reach after 9 months.
Mid of 2018 bitcoin is worth more than $25k,  so better hodl  and wait for that wonderful moment.

I bet bitcoin will go to $25k before Christmas or max before 2018
Sold my stocks and bought 10 BTC today.I will not wait for $25k,but will sell for $18k next Friday !

I'm having similar concerns, I'm hoping this is just off the back of futures opening up and it will stop in the next few days and some normality will be restored. 20% increases in one day is not good for anybody, it may seem so but long term it will hurt bitcoin as this growth cannot be sustained.

I think you should move this topic to speculation board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0

Anyway, There is a possibility that $25k would be reach within six months because demand is so strong right now but maybe there is someone pushing it hard up before the bitcoin futures is launch. The rate has been increasing so fast in the past weeks it makes me nervous how low would the price be when the correction comes. We are approaching $15k now and maybe it will be reach or not this year depending on the whales and maybe some circumstances that may turn the table around. Well if the time comes when it goes down, I'll make sure to scoop some for long term investment.

To do it, you may a) use exponent to fit existing data and project or b) use fibo circles to calculate timing

I wished that it would increase to 10k from a year ago and it has come true. I can not believe my eyes as it is rising so fast and almost no stops at the moment. However, this makes me feel scared because it will disappear forever. Its value is too virtual like its nature so maybe people are expecting it to achieve a higher value. But before reaching the value you want, it probably disappears forever. A development that is too fast over time will make it unstable and easily disappear

Bitcoin will reach 25,000$ peak,now the price of bitcoin crossed 14,800 peak it will reach further more.The price will reach 15,000$ very soon.I think this will happen in just few hours.I had expect 15,000$ at this year end,but this happen today.It's very glad to see this,the price will reach 20,000$ at this year end.

I think the network effect can change the price so quick like a light´s speed. The technology is so new, that anything can happen... The middle of 2018 is a good shot...

Yes, as we can see bitcoin performance is pretty good and there is a big possibility that bitcoin will reach up to $25,000 and that will happen in the next  year 2020. In my vision it will reach in that year and that is my time frame.

I think it will be more than 25,000 dollar in 2018. Bitcoin didnot just double its price this year. It was more than triple from the start of the year. So, lets invest more and mine more..

Why do you think the price of bitcoin will go in the direction of increasing? You don't consider the option that the price of bitcoin may begin to decline? The most expensive thing on earth is greed. It is always expensive to pay for. It seems to me that now is the time to commit your income in dollars.

I go with the summer of 2018. It is perfect, sun, beach, mohito and an expensive bitcoin. The development of events is crazy and the price keeps rising day by day so i have a strong feeling that bitcoin will hit 25 k in the summer of 2018.

It doesn't work like that, it goes exponentially. It could be 25k in a week at this pace, growing steadily seems unlikely. Even if it turns out to be 25k mid 2018, it will be a rollercoaster inbetween.

It's almost a halfway price to reach the 25k promising price speculated, well I doubt it will be for this year as it will have a drop, this will give us a chance to get into the skyrocket before it will be deployed again and reach the prices that we're dreaming for, but still I' hoping to experience the fix and upgrades of the bitcoin network for its major issues that anyone can have a headache just from that problem, it will surely boost the confidence of the investors to go for bitcoin.

I think bitcoin touch 25k purpose of coming forks hope to start at now we see bitcoin price 25 k, if not happen we should wait for a long time in light of the way that after fork every time we see strong fall ::)

yeah today the price of bitcoin is reached $15000 i think the price of bitcoin will incresing until next year because right now bitcoin is more popular and all people want to know about cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, so they want to have a bitcoin. i think this is the factor thats makes bitcoin price is higher

Yes, was surprised how fast we get to $15K and we are just barely one week in this month of December. Timeframe is getting closer I think. This madness and chaos going around doesn't have rational explanation. LOL. Where are all this cash coming from? US, Asia? I guess when we see the bitcoin futures contract have its first trade, we can speculate when are we going to hit $25K. Or what will be the price before Dec 10?

I'm not the only one here who are quite anxious with this tremendous gain in the last couple of days that sometimes I have to question if someone is really manipulating all this price movement. But I can only assume that there are really people flocking into the market because they don't want to miss the opportunity to profit and get bitcoin while it's still not being offered by CME or CBOE because the price could shoot off the roof before the end of the year.

Nobody can foretell what will happen in the near future especially in something as volatile as a bitcoin price. There are so many factors that will affect its surge price. Also, taking into consideration that there are upcoming forks this December and then next year, nobody can say it will continue rising or will go down significantly. However, right now, due to the growing popularity and bitcoin awareness, a lot of investors are itching to have their hands on few bitcoins, increasing the demands in the market that is directly proportional to the bitcoin price.

The reason it will take less time even if takes more money to keep moving is due the network effect that constantly keeps getting expanded, which generates what is called as exponential growth. Just look at the current prices, we keep breaking resistances, trust is constantly re-informed every time we do that. Then you look at the insane hyperinflation of fiat, and you get even more reinforcement in the fact that the real bubble is fiat, and not bitcoin, and anyone not allocating capital into bitcoin and holding perpetually is absolutely insane. We are going to hit $25,000 next year, pretty easily as a matter of fact.

When I am thinking about and it's price I always think how I would behave myself if I would know about it's successful rise. To me 1000$ was very good price already and I was not expected something more from bitcoin in sooner time, so I cashed out a bit more than 1 BTC this spring. We bought a house this summer and this days I am always thinking that we could buy a whole house with this money (19000 Euro) or to buy something better. I don't know who is moving the price to such crazy maximums, but I think 25000$ can become true in the first quoter of the next year already.

I know right. From $100 to $1000 already seems like a dream. You can already buy a lot of things with that kind of profit. But to think that it can reach $16,000 in just a year or so is definitely unimaginable. No one could've predicted that. And it will only just keep on increasing. I think by the firs 2 or 3 months of 2018, $25,000 will already be reached.

Why you doubt about it? You can check in spot market that it will rising again. So, you must optimis that you will get many profits from it :)

It is not an easy thing to predict the future and that too without doing any kind of analysis or anything like that. Bitcoin is no doubt gaining lot of reputation with each passing day and is becoming more and more popular. This in result is effecting the market price of bitcoin in much significant manner and is making it to rise higher. I am very much positive that the market price of bitcoin will soon reach up to this limit in a year or two.

Lightning Network is definitely a bullish development, but right now the entire market is purely focusing on the future markets that are just a few days away from going live. By Monday we'll see if the market will still be pumping, or maybe take a dive, which would be something the far majority of the people here will be extremely surprised about. People think the market will keep pumping, while in reality things might play out differently. Maybe it will turn out to be an extremely profitable opportunity to buy back lower and increase the number of your coins. I'm still considering whether or not I should do so too.

Seeing on its recent progress i would it do really move very fast which it even reach out and break the 15k mark barrier which is really unbelievable because i was really just expecting that it would only hit up $12500 price on the end of the year but significantly price increase rally did continue and now we are seeing new ATH's which is good but i do really expect a nasty correction later on.

At the rate at which bitcoin is moving its possible so see $25,000 before the end of the year or not to get our hopes to high earliest this could happen is in the first quarter of 2018.

I think people had a lot of time to research about what bitcoin is all about, maybe thats the reason behind why prices are skyrocketing right now because they are now actually investing in it.

If the price will continue to grow at such a high rate, the $ 25,000 at the end of the year is very possible. Or maybe even earlier.

The network is really congested right now, causing the price to increase because of limited supply of bitcoin circulating. Here in our country, we experienced very slow transaction which takes up to 48 hours before the confirmation in blockchain. In my opinion, this will continue before the upcoming holidays wherein more people will withdraw their money to take their well deserved vacation and to buy gifts or to take profit which gives us the opportunity to buy more at a discounted price - Holiday Sale!

It is not always going to keep the same pace, so that we predict that it will reach a specific mark within an exact time frame. The speed would definitely change again and it will be quite stable soon, because the pace it has been going with is surprising, and if it keeps going like that, it will reach way more than our expectations in a few months. But it will come back to its original state again soon, where it stays quite stable and then it gradually moves, up or down, according to the situations occurring.

Same with my expectation too.I just hope that bitcoin will never experience dumping this month so it would really be possible to hit $25k at the end of this month.Or maybe earlier next month bitcoin price will surely make it to the top.

At this rate 25k is like next week

At the time of answering, Bitcoin has already crossed $16,000 and if Bitcoin goes like this in the coming days even $30,000 is not a bid value to attain this year. Bitcoin market is highly pumped at the present time some are expecting a bubble burst in the coming days and some want to HODL but the fact is Bitcoin price is going up without looking back and in such pace even $30,000 in 20 days also seems to be achievable.

$25,000? I'll say that it's impossible at this month since we are about to see the year end but if there will be more of the bull then it's possible but only for $20,000. I think that $25,000 can be seen around February or at the end of January 2018.

I know there's a lot of factors which makes the waves of the Bitcoin price, but BTC's rise is just "natural" it is not about "when" but rather it can be safely assumed that "It will" hit whatever all time high. Gradually and continuously the masses will adopt.

By March next year bitcoin is going to be trading above $25,000 and around this time next year we may be seeing bitcoin to be above $50,000. The price has been going up very well of lately and at 2pm gmt today bitcoin went as high as $17,000 from the data at https://coinmarketcap.com. and that means bitcoin only have just $8000 to get to $25,000 which may happen before end of this month if the price keep going the way is going.

If we’re new in cryptocurrency, we would look to be so ambitious that this is impossible to reach on a newbie investors perspective. But for now that we all have experienced this huge/big and rapid increases, we all know it is possible. The only thing we’re not sure of is, when? that is the one each of us have speculative opinion on this matter. But that’s a healthy way of discussing it. 25000$ can be reach but I’m not really sure on specific date when will it happens.

It's fast as the flash and I'm remember those days that I had enough bitcoin and now it's likely to stay as a memory only. And $25,000 is the next goal? I guess it's not that early, I'm not even expecting that bitcoin can hit $15,000 this early so anything is very possible as of the moment. There will be more of the value for bitcoin and investors will just come in and will now depend their lives to bitcoin.

If the current trend will continue then it is possible for bitcoin to reach this value by end of next year. But just like what you said the possibility that the fast growing of bitcoin like it has been today would not happen or continue is still there. I guess we just need to believe in it and hope that this community will grow more and evolve later on for the betterment of the citizens

$ 25000 in two months I think.. the price bitcoin continue to increase significantly in this month, that possible will happen again in the next month, two months is enough for bitcoin to reach $ 25000.. let's we see what the surprises will to give by bitcoin..

We might start the year 2018 with the $25000 mark, no doubt in it if the growth percentage continues to be the same till the year end. Now large number of investors too were getting into bitcoin adding power to the entire cryptocurrency network. The same will keep the growth last longer.

I also think about it. And there's also a possibility that it will happen before the year 2018 because now it's almost $18k is the equivalent of dollar to bitcoin. So maybe before the year 2018 comes, $25k will be reached as the price of bitcoin and in the year 2018, people will start to sell their bitcoin.

I'm very sure if bitcoin is able to reach $ 25k until the end of the year but it will not last long so it needs a good preparation to see the progress of the current bitcoin. we can see how bitcoin is able to increase rapidly

I'm gonna go ahead and say it'll probably happen at some point while I'm trying to sleep... So needless to say, I wont be sleeping much as I have to see it happen!

I think the miracle will not happen and the number you give will never be achieved. Simply because it's too big at the moment. I dunno what Bitcoin price is 18k and it was adjusted immediately. People do not want it to disappear so be all calm, every action at the present time is supposed to be stupid and should not be

I think it should be February.

The value of bitcoin is really unpredictable, as this time its still soaring high and breaking its previous high value. Nowadays, many people gets interested about bitcoin due to the number of people helps there needs and wants in life. Some of them change there lifestyles and the of living as well. I believed someday that this dominant crypto currency will become more popular and someday it will used as paying transactions since its value getting high as a mountain.

Well, I guess the bitcoin value will get $25000 on next year which means 2018..  But just i guess this in assumption not in sure.. It's really unpredictable Because now the value is getting low.. Let see what will  happen..

After such a sharp rise in prices is a natural phenomenon. Such an adjustment was inevitable. But I think that it is long. Next week we will see again the rapid increase in prices. It's even possible that we touch the mark of $ 20,000. Now, every year, price hikes will become more significant.

Well I am in favor of this statement. Bitcoin has so smoothly working and progressing with much best facts and figures and a time will come when it comes to lacs and even more. As far as the end of this year is concerned, bitcoin price will surely go to $25000 or around and this will surely happen. As the history of bitcoin in past week is analyzed, bitcoin will surely make the world amazed.

At the current speed, Bitcoin is going to touch $25,000 in the coming 10 days. Bitcoin price is finally touching the moon and all this progress in such a short span of time is totally incredible and at the same time unpredictable. Also, the value of Bitcoin is not getting low any time soon it may continuously to increase before a big unexpected crash. The movement of market is highly unstable and has already damaged many holders of altcoin.

Bitcoin's price is driven by volume, and a higher volume usually gives higher price. If we assume that this effect is exponential, which I think is fair, then $25.000 should be not very far away. I think that $25.000 can be seen around of years 2018

Bitcoin's price hike lately is the fastest so far in the history of bitcoin. Reaching more than 18K USD from 10K USD in just a couple of days is quite astonishing feat of bitcoin's run. If that will continue, a 25k USD mark is achievable on or before this coming Christmas.

If we consider the rate Bitcoin is going today we can expect $25000 mark by a 2 weeks time. The curren condition of price boost digital currency's popularity in thr mainstream media. It is a good condition to set up digital currency for adoption in the near future

I am guessing March of next year but I could foresee it getting there a lot quicker than that due to price action as of late. If things stay this bullish then I think 25k could come as early as January but I wouldn't bet on that.

But I really doubted if it will continue increasing because of having a hardforks coming by this month. I dont say that their is no chances that it will reach for such amount but then, it surely needs months to have it. Because we all knew that if their is hardforks launch, a big possibility that it will affect th flow of prices in the market.

yeah, It will depend upon the investors throughout the world. A $25k is still possible to happend which it comes to the value of bitcoin is very unpredictable that it can suddenly grows its value rapidly in just short period of time. Also, it allows people to encourage to believed and invest in bitcoin and makes its value grows due too and its popularity as the time passes by and gaining more profit today and for the future.

Maybe next year bitcoin will reach $25000. Last month the value of bitcoin hit $10000 and $15000 this week. Bitcoin is growing so fast. So its not imposible for bitcoin to hit $25k.

We don't know where is the top yet and when is the correction, actually I can't believe Bitcoin reach this high in 2017, earlier I only predict the $10K bitcoin is just a momentarily. But the recent prices surges is blown my mind. In my opinion, the 25K dollar is quite achievable but not in 2017.

If that South Korea exchange ban news is fake or CME doesn't extend the date of bitcoin future lauch, then we can see a huge price rally near Christmas and bitcoin can touch $25k by new year. But if those news are true. There might be a correction coming as South Korea is one of the largest market for cryptos and such a news from such country is indeed not good for the market.

In the first quarter or first few months of the year 2018, the price of bitcoin will gonna reach that price mark because the price of bitcoin is slowly going up and after a few more days, bitcoin will have more demand because the demand is the key for the price of bitcoin to go up. If bitcoin will have more positive things in the next few days or weeks then bitcoin will be gonna become a huge surprise to those skeptical.

I think Bitcoin went as high as $19,000 during the month of December. Or was it only $18,000 plus? Either way, with that rise in Bitcoin's value, it is not hard to think that $25,000 will be achieved within January to March 2018. If Bitcoin will achieve $20,000 within December, no doubt the $25,000 will easily follow. Perhaps it will happen not later than February of 2018. Let us just wait.

It will take time to reach that much rates. The 25K rate is like almost double the current and for which the market capilgsim is almost more than 200 Billion. This means we will need to achieve at least 1/3rd of the current market cap in addition to what we have currently. Thus we will start gaining the market value for ht bitcoin.

There is also plus point currently, we are running out of the bitcoin supply now. Considering that more than 16.5 ml coins already in the market and 6% coins in the possession of Nakomoto Sir, and may be 1% of whole lost due to hacked accounts, lost private keys etc, we will see this shortening of the coin supply real soon. This will lead to more increase prices and hence 25K could be nearer than we think. May be next 5-6 months looks to me green period for this.

Bitcoin is going up like crazy but that target is too high for this year, we might reach $20,000 and that is the highest I guess, maybe first quarter of the next year there is a chance we will rich that price, as long as the progress continues there's always a chance to see a significant price increase and I know that is what we are hoping to happen, so continue to hold because this is not gonna stop.

Although the $25k mark set for bitcoin price for next year may be feasible, we should all remember that  no financial analyst has been right with their predictions on Bitcoin price. However, given the volatility of Bitcoin coupled with its recent huge use-case and awareness spreading like wildfire I think the $25k mark will definitely be met with the first quarter of 2018. We are likely seeing $20k before the end of Dec 2017.

Do not doubt because it can do impossible things. Bitcoin is rapidly increasing these past weeks and we got 3 more weeks before the year ends investors will push it and pump it hard until it reaches 25k.

this is amazing, the more people know the bitcoin the more expensive bitcoin prices because they are in droves want to have and have bitcoin, now like bitcoin is getting ready to slide to the price of $ 500,000 to set a new record of the world's highest and most expensive digital currencies.

many cryptocurrency observers believe the rise in bitcoin price is built on solid fundamentals and are optimistic about bitcoin’s future
I think the rise in bitcoin prices reflects the enthusiasm that the public has into bitcoin being a digital currency and new solutions for instant payments future
bitcoin prices reach $ 25K I think it does not take long, bitcoin price on this day is already more $ 15K

I am pretty hopeful about bitcoin to touch this figure by the first three, four months of next year because it is indeed going to end at 12,000 dollars above by this December. This is nothing tough for bitcoin to be at this value because the demand of bitcoin is very much high in the market and people are investing large amounts in this currency because it is the future most expensive asset of the world.

Instant solution payments in the future? I doubt that. Bitcoin is no longer what is designed to be, for micro payment transactions. Now it is being used for storing your wealth, and investments. And with the continuing price increase coupled with slow confirmation time. I really doubt that we can see it as mode of payment in the future. As for the timeframe to reach the much awaited $25,000, It could be next year. Bitcoin price is too far stretch already that I don't know if there's still someone to bought at above $10,00 now. It's really that expensive that a casual or ordinary person now can't even afford to get it.

but bitcoin had reach $18,000..and its only a little to hit $25,000
just a $7,000 difference.so i speculate before year end probably it will cross
that border.and maybe thats what the whales wanted to put bitcoins highest
price ever.

Predicting this will be really hard, because btc's current price is staggering high right now, we won't know when will it go dump or will it directly pump to $25k.
In my opinion it is not near anywhere that it will reach that mark.

Agree, Bitcoin still has a considerable scalability issue, and the transaction fee is off the chart. Good things is I saw an article today about how Bitcoin lightning network has a functioning prototype. My bet on bitcoin is it will have some correction first then the price will go up in 2018.

One thing noticeably different about the rally to 17/18k was that it seemed to be at the expense of alt coins.  It looked like everyone was selling alt coins to buy BTC.  As we've seen in the last 24 hours, that trade is very easily undone (i.e., bitcoin is sold to buy the beaten down alt coins).  The bitcoin cash rally when segwit2x was cancelled was the same kind of event.  First, it looked like everyone was dumping BTC to buy BCH.  After hitting extreme levels, that trade completely reversed over the following couple of days.  So I don't think this current rally will be sustainable unless we see new money coming into the markets.    Before we reach for $25k, I think we need a good correction that convinces everyone that the $10k-12k area is solid support.  So, unless bitcoin goes bananas when bitcoin futures start trading and skyrockets again (which could happen), I don't think $25k is in the cards this year--maybe within the first few months of 2018.

It's also hard to predict $10,000 before for this year if we'll get back to the first quarter of 2017.

Every predictions are hard to speculate and we can't believe that we are already on $14,000 - $17,000 and some exchanges did gave bitcoin almost $20,000 price.

Anyway $25,000 is at hand, it will be definitively seen on 2018.

Yeah i mean everything is possible after we saw how much progress bitcoin, has made this year, i mean there is no limit to prdections on when the bitcoin will be reaching 25k, not only bitcoin was able to reach 10k in a year giving its users 1000%, but in just a week bitcoin went from being 10k to reaching more than 15k, that exeded anyone's expectation, so trying to predict when the price is going to reach 25k is like fliping a coin, but the sure thing is that we are going to see the bitcoin rise not only in terms of price but alos in terms of users and investment and potentialy use it as a global payment method.

I agree. No one knows if in the followinf year it will be having the same rate of increase of this year in terms of the market value of Bitcoin. The time frame I think for Bitcoin to reach 25000 USD still, is one year so maybe next year. And hoping that it will do so and nothing will happen wrong that will make its value to fall. And if that happen, surely i users and investors will earn huge profit in the future or when that day come.

The milestone of 10000USD itself I was thinking very difficult to achieve once it reached might be big crash will take place if bitcoin is an bubble. The another milestone of 15000 USD I was surprised as I was expecting at 10k level a big correction and the new bottom might be created but my prediction gone wrong. About 25K milestone might be achieve by bitcoin on or before March 2018.

Bitcoin's price increase has been really sporadic! As much as the trend has been predominantly upward, one shouldn't get carried away by this as it could have a serious dip soon; with the upcoming bitcoin forks. If one will want to predict the time frame it will use to get to $25,000, judging from its recent price movement pace, I would say bitcoin should hit the price of the $25,000 in the first quarter of 2018. With lots of coins coming into the market, Bitcoins gap is alarming.

The rate bitcoin price has been increasing lately, I don't think It would take long to get $25k. Although it is not expected to increase the way it has been recently. I believe it will get there in March or April 2018.

Within next two, three months bitcoin is going to be at 25,000 dollars easily because it is increasing in popularity very much. Many rich people are now investing into bitcoin for becoming richer. All those who want to live a luxurious life are investing high amounts into bitcoin because bitcoin has got an amazing tendency of doubling money in short time. In short, bitcoin is the future of the world.

I dont think so. The FUD are coming again and bitcoin drops from $17k to 13.2k this week. Correction was present this November and I think it will stayup to 17k to 20k before the year ends because its going to be Christmas and people will spend some of their money that were profitted this year.

In fact, right now, we have crossed that value and from the look of things, I am pretty sure it is heading towards over $14k in value right now in the next few days. If the pace we have now keeps going on and really is as a result of a huge adoption and not just some FOMOs trying to tap in, then before the middle of next year, $25,000 is definitely possible.

As we can observe the bitcoin price is really fast to cross the value as high as we expected. More likely it can happen maybe this year end or at the first month of year2018. Bitcoin has increasing a lot so I am confident it will achieved.

It is possible but i think we will hit $25,000 in January or something and in the end of this year i think we can reach $20,000. Of course there would be a crash for the price for sure. But i think it would be awesome if we really reach $25k before the year end.

I think it would be at the end of the next year when the price is really increasing in the amazing way.

Some traders say that at the end of this month it will reach 25,000 usd i don't know if it was true but for me. i'm very bullish in bitcoin and i 'll see to it that 100k is very possible by next year. 25,000 for this month is for real of course.

In connection with the latest events, bitcoin can reach a price of $ 25,000 very soon. I think that by the end of winter.

I agree with you, the popularity, the increasing reputation and usage of bitcoin is proportional to its growth, the price moves faster and faster every month. Bitcoin's price can go up or down $1k usd in a short time unlike the gradual movement or close to stagnant price in the early years of bitcoin. The price is experiencing these instabilities also because of the rapid increase of bitcoin users, more people pump and dump their bitcoins.

Looking at the current rate of growth of value of bitcoins, we might see the 25k value in the early 2018 ,i.e is around second or third week of January

Yeah in the January of 2k18 this price will glow on the price board because investor are going crazy for bitcoin ad demand is very high these days the main reason is people are getting annual bonuses and all they think to invest it in the good place and bitcoin is best suitable for this and there is also another reason that bitcoin is also famous of the profit giving and people want to earn money faster and they are coming to it.

Right now the price is $17K, that's about $8K away from the goal of $25K. So I think we are getting closer and closer. I would assumed that around mid 2018 this price could be cross.

The effect of this financial institutions are looking good. NASDAQ has said that they will likely do the same bitcoin futures contracts in Q2 2018. This alone could push the price above $20K around the first quarter and once we get close to the date when Nasdaq open its doors, its gonna be madness again. FOMO will set in once more and just maybe $25K will be just around the corner then.

Looking at the price of Bitcoin for the past few couple of days, there have been a kind of stability. It kept revolving between the $16-17k limit.
Before it will get to $25,000 it has to break this limit once again, and if that happens, I don't think we will be coming down again. But as for when BTC will hit $25k, I can't really say, it's unpredictable.

There is a big chance it will happen next year, although there's a lot of good news that might be a relevant basis to make it happen but we are short with days already, I am afraid if we pump to $25K we end up seeing a big dump entering the 1st month of the next year. Let's be patient and see it slowly because that is more better so we can see a quite stable increase than a sudden one which will make us upset in the end.

Yes there is big possibility that it can reach maybe by the first month of year 2018. Maybe it could happen atleast next year for $25k, price of bitcoin is very volatile though we cannot predict the exact date when it would be. But Im confident btc will continue to sky rocket by next year.

This could happen, because price of bitcoin usually grows high by the last month of every year and the same used to travel for a longer time period. In a similar regard expect the growth of bitcoin to happen with stability and reach the $25000 before the first quarter of the year 2018, if this didn't happen by the year starting.

Bitcoin can really reach this kind of price at any moment right before the end of the year, everything is possible with bitcoin. The demand for this are really increasing, correction may happen and very minimal dump but I still confident bitcoin will keep its power to remain on top.

Well, there is no question on how far it can reach that time frame but if we stick to this year reaching $25,000 that price. Thats possible it may happened and it took overpass that speculation price because bitcoin now a days is a very in demand to many users and investors world wide.

I think bitcoin will reach 25k usd between february and march next year, since other altcoins are.also gaining strength like ethereum and litecoin, they will need to face the problems that bitcoin had experienced before, especially the negative attacks and this might create a shift from investors, the value they gain from other altcoins, they will invest in bitcoin, thus giving bitcoin 3 months to breach 25k usd, still we need no to relax or be complacent since bitcoin is volatile, it may go over than 25k usd and might return to 17k usd in a matter of hours.

We don't have time frame for that as soon as it reached 25,000usd, we're very happy for that! right now price is unpredictable. we're heading 20,000usd first before it gets there. hope you will invest now and thank us later.

I think there is a big chance that bitcoin reaches that price in the summer of 2018, in the best case scenario that price can be reached in the first months of the next year in the worst case scenario I think we may reach that price at the end of the next year.

It's already quite a bit to get to 25k, of course it will be next year, but by spring I'm going to cope with your forecast. Another question will be whether he will go over this line.

It looks like it may take some time to reach that price level because many governments are thinking to put some regulations on cryptocurrency trading after the recent price run-up. If governments put some regulation don't know how that will impact on current prices. But thinking the since bitcoin has entered into the mainstream so its prices may go higher than 25K soon or later.

seeing bitcoin price movement is very excited currently because almost for every month the price was increase rapidly but some people predict bitcoin will reach that amount at 2018 but i will looking forward to see price movement and very curious to see how long will it take to see next peak $25k or above 

It's not impossible on bitcoin to reach that value. As of this moment it is still increasing that gives a good performance on this year. Also, the demand and supply on our society  plays good rule since bitcoin and other altcoins compete on each other but still bitcoin is dominant from all crypto. I believed that by next year bitcoin will surpass due to many people want to invest and for sure many users will interested throughout the world.

Bitcoin has a strong growth in the $ 15,000 - $ 18,000 range, but it's dump to the $ 19,000  so it could take a year to reach the $ 25,000 mark.

Whales really cannot have much influence on the market right now and they are careful too as well. The market cap is increasing hugely daily and that means a lot. Sure, we cannot predict the time frame at which bitcoin can reach such a value, and there are so many factors that can cause some bearish trend, but we also have to realize that with this pace, anything can be possible.

The truth is no one can know what the time frame to reach $25000 would be. May be early next year, mid, or even later on. There are so many things that can happen which could drive the value backwards and then anything can happen that can even make it skyrocket at a pace higher than it has already been giving so far. In the latter case though, in the first quarter of 2018, that value is something to be expected.

We just have another all time high and breaking $25,000 will most probably happen next year but I also believe it will be possible this year depending the news and the mood of the traders. This will happen for sure because the support is getting bigger and there's plenty of good news that happens to bitcoin this year making bitcoin's big success this year. If we will not reach $25,000 but the growth trend continues then we can expect big success next year, maybe more success than this year.

As i can see the price right now, I believe it will hit $25k early in the year 2018. The demand for this is increasingly amazing and I know it will continue to pump. No matter what happen, I am confident that bitcoin will hit all our speculation and go beyond that.

I do not think it is unrealistic to think we are going to reach that price before the end of the year since we are already very close to 20k now if that does not happen before the end of the year no one really cares since it is almost a sure thing we are going to reach that price in the next year.

20k for the next week. 25k for the next year. When the bitcoin futures already used by the more speculators to get into the bitcoin and that will be a huge hype. It will be possible but bitcoin needs correction to determine the price of the bitcoin itself. But many people said about the possibility. How the price of bitcoin increases a lot just in a short time.
It looks become a real evidence how the bullish of bitcoin is so crazy right now.

$20,000 is reachable till this month end since the current price now is $19450+..but still we cant predict what will happen for the coming days since its price totally pumps up every single day.If this would reach to $20k probably correction will happen again and that depends on holders to exchange their bitcoins to fiat currencies in preparation in incoming christmas season.Every holders has its plan in their investments and i can see that they will spend a bit of their investments in this precious day .

Today, bitcoin's price is almost twenty thousand dollars. Therefore, there are lot of possibilities that bitcoin's price will make it to the twenty five thousand dollar mark. Regarding to the time when will it gonna happen, I think this holiday season has something to do with the tremendous increase in price. People have money to spend and also they have their bonuses. I predict by the first month of the new year, it can achieve that price.

I would not be surprised if by the new year we see the cost of bitcoin 25000. A month ago it seemed incredible, now no one will be surprised at this price.

Actually, bitcoin reach $50000 is not surprise me because we know it will happen, but bitcoin reach $25000 before December is sound crazy. How can it happen. I always hear bitcoin is going up very much. Even if you hear down, just 0.x%. For me, 0.x% is not going down. I want to see how much can bitcoin reach in 2018. $100,000? 200,000 or 1,000,000?

Bitcoin price is very surprising indeed, currently it is almost $20k. Yes it is possible $25k can reach anytime for me because the movement in the market is very fast. So time frame is not long to reach for the $25k.

My guess is it will reach 25k$ by january 2018, Its been a hell of a ride this month and its about time it become a little bit stable at that current price then it will become wild again by january. Too much price growth will destroy the economy and Bitcoin in the future and Bitcoin should have the price correction already.

I feel $25k can be achieved after new year as of now the transactions and movement of bitcoin in the market is really high but it might be stalled for a week or two because people will be busy with their vacations and also there might be a huge price pump.followed by a temporary dump which is traditional from few years.

Maybe  bitcoin will reach $25k by next year, no one knows if when in 2018. Now the price of bitcoin reaches $19k and increasing. Its hard but theres a possibility that it will reach $25k someday. It takes a long period of time to reach that amount.

A couple more days to go and bitcoin will reach $25,000, and it is just a matter of time that the price will reach that amount too. Good for those who invested bitcoin and believed in it. And I would not be surprised if it will reach $25k before or the first week of January.

amazing week for BTC
welcome 20k USD and we will watch this floor carefully, this number has important thing to go to hugher number
if you ask timeframe to reach 25k USD, i think it will depend on much thing
especially this 20kUSD, if succeed to hold above 20k, then 25k will come as fast as possible, if failed then it will take a long time to go to 25k

Looking at the current speed of rise, reaching 25k won't take more than 2 months, so probably in Jan 2018 , the bitcoin might cross 25k

If it will grow like a hell before, we can reach at least 30000$ in happy new year, right in 14 days easily, but may be we will get some correction, only god knows how much strong.

It's possible, I've predicted the index bitcoin will reach 20.000$ even more in 2018. Many countries start to see bitcoin now because bitcoin affect the economics of the country really big. There is a lot of people talking about bitcoin and start to learn to use it as an investment.

history repeats itself  ;D

Bitcoin will reach that number unexpectedly, but for now its not possible yet, most of investors are playing in alt, and Bitcoin still need to fixed the transaction fee, after all being handled then the road to 25k will be reached very soon

It seems that now the price is growing much slower than last year. Maybe it will reach 25k $ in a year. Although maybe earlier.

Current bitcoin price is around $17000 and I think the $25000 mark can be achieved probably within this month's last week. No one can predict accurately but the trend of bitcoin for past week post correction is looking good and bullish. Need to wait and watch the show.

Things could be as easy as reaching  the new heights just the same way bitcoin did it last time. But now its the time where we have to overcome few of the challenges for example, scaling up issues. This is over the head now and as we can experience, the fees, trasanction speed and confirmations are taking a lot of time. Even after paying the amount of 40-50 USD my transactions are taking longer than half hour which is insane thing. You tell me how people will believe the BTC now and how they will get into it easily? They don't just want to make profit here but they also need some useful stuff with bitcoin for example, faster transactions. This is the sole purpose of the BTC which we re not able to achieve. So lets see what happens in the long run and give bitcoin few months to rise again if it could then we can start speculating about the 25,000 K prices.

Bitcoin's price now is approximately $15000 it kind a stock there for about a weeks and i still hoping to inflate. If ever it would reach $25000 its almost end of 2018 or mid year i guess, but its not that easy to reach specially these days, lots of coin are appearing.

Do you really think it is that easy to reach such great prices. Last year whatever happened was because of Futures exchanger listed the BTC on their exchange program and that was god news about it. It created that natural hype amongst the people who were not in the crypto before but they started grabbing the BTC like crazy, this increased the market cap many more folds and finally the prices risen. 
Apart from that people also started working up on hard forks I mean they know that they will get equivalent free currencies and will earn huge profits by trading those free coins. This was also additional reason as to why BTC got new ATH.
This time we might struggle to reach the 25,000 rate if the BTC doesn’t come up with good news and new developments too.

No one in crypto has a crystal ball, therefore no one here is able to predict accurately how long it will take Bitcoin to reach such a level. However, I do believe that Bitcoin will be able to reach such a level in 2018, once the altcoin run is over. How long it will take? No idea.

WHY will bitcoin reach 25.000 USD and the stock now at its present value?
bitcoin will go higher and higher as the investors keep coming, Ex. Mcdonalds will accept bitcoins in 2018
another one, bitcoin have fork/segwits in this 17th of the month and more on the first month next year.
people are gathering more  and more people are seeking for bitcoin to hold because of segwits
but why bitcoin stocks at this rate now?
bitcoin transfer fees are so high, but why? it is due to processing transfers from exchangers and wallet that holders now avoiding.
once this issue resolve BTC will rise again and we can expect the price to pump again

I'm sure it is, in my opinion btc will comes into that range in a condition that is no country no longer banning, idk and it could be this year or 2 and even 3 years

If the mark of 20 thousand is punched, then surely the bar will be taken and 25. Very strong resistance on 20 stands, psychological for sure. At the moment we are seeing normal waves.

I think both bitcoin and the whole of the crypto market need a push from the market to return to the old peak and break the new milestone. The market is stabilizing and resting for some time in the next few days. I learned that big investors have not come back to market so you can see that in the past week fluctuations in the market took place, but with very small amplitude, the coin went up very little, That shows the whole market is waiting for momentum.

We can't get conclude about the bitcoin price after this year but I can only says it will reach 25k$ in this year but we don't know in what month could reach it. So this is a good question that we can embrace the bitcoin. It is not too late to earn bitcoins nowadays because after 2 years o a year it can make your money multiply.

Well, all this depends upon the current market status and the number of active users. Currently the speed that bitcoin has if maintained then it will not take more then 2-3 months to reach that amount. If it's market value goes down the time lap will increase. Ups and downs are part of that. So can't be pretty exactly sure. We can make only wild guesses.

When people who bought bitkoyn at $ 19,000 will sell, disappointed in the absence of its growth, then the price will exceed $ 25,000.

Right now bitcoin is on an unstable moment so to try to make any kind of prediction about the price is difficult but I think that if you want to reach that price then you will need a few months but if you want that to be more or less a base price for bitcoin I think we will have to wait another year, however if the lightning network gets released in this year then that could accelerate things up.

There is an interest in Bitcoin so it will be a spectacular evolution of the value of it, not for a long time but i am positive that it will happen.

I think in order for bitcoin to rise $25,000 need 2-3 months. I expect a strong increase in market capitalization in the first half of 2018.

Yes you're right bitcoin will reach that price very soon. One good news about bitcoin then it will increase. I see to it there's a next bull run coming it's not the end yet but lucky for us we could buy in this dip..

It is unfortunate to give any prognosis about time frame, but all sorts of surprises are possible. I believe that bitcoin can be even stronger than 25k.

Although the confidence of many has been severely damaged after a terrible month in January, I think the market is too young to maintain a long-term pessimistic stance. I would expect the price of $25,000 in about three months, but that would mean that the dominance of bitcoin in the marketcap will continue to fall, perhaps to 25% by mid-year.

My strategy is to be patient, to wait for things to be clarified, to work hard and learn more about cryptocurrencies.
