The Bitcoin graph is going up and up, the popularity of bitcoin increasing day by day.
Will bitcoin prices is go Down in 2018? What will happen with Bitcoin?

I`m sure that there will be another price correction in the middle of December.
It`s not normal for the bitcoin price to increase from 12000 to 14000 USD for less than 24 hours.
People are becoming greedy and stupid (this is the worst combination  :) ).
I`m expecting some big players to start another FUD campaign against bitcoin and to try to lower the prices,but this will be more difficult than before.

Who knows? Honestly your best bet is probably keep some of your investments/assets in bitcoin and a small portion in fiat and whatever else you are interested in investing to begin with. Bitcoin has proven that it can indeed go mainstream and gain some widespread media coverage. If you want my personal view on this i'd say that albeit some small corrections, the general scope of things will still be up in 2018.

Absolutely no reason why this current adoption rate can't continue, and adoption = increase in price.

It may even speed up compared to this year, actually.

before we talk about down or up lets talk about your meaning,
what do you mean by will bitcoin price goes down in 2018 ?
are you talking about a correction that will happen with Bitcoin price in 2018 ?
or are you talking about a huge dump that will lead bitcoin to massive downturn in 2018 ?
in general everything that go up someday will go down in the future no matter what because it's a cycle.
so if you're talking about correction,i am absolutely sure we should see a correction in the future because we're on the run right now.
but if you're talking about a huge correction that will lead bitcoin price to massive downturn,i am not really sure about it.
because our current market is very unpredictable,
even in my opinion we should see another movement in the next few months due to another listing that will happen.
what will happen with Bitcoin ?
slowly but sure Bitcoin get accepted by people wholly,

There will be some brutal corrections, but timing them is difficult. I think that we're heading towards a blow-off top in the $20k-50k range. After that, it's prudent to expect a significant and sharp correction. It's hard to put targets on the correction but sub-$10k seems reasonable at least. $7500 and $5000 look like sweet spots on the chart. But it's really tough to say after a parabolic rise.

I know it sounds cliche, but institutional money is also here. If lots of big players need to accumulate, the price can only drop so much. In the meantime, it feels piggish to keep longs running up here, but it's making bank...

Particularly I think he is talking about all of the movement going down whether it is a dump, correction, or big negative news that is about the price of bitcoin, well anyway going from the value of bitcoin, it is doing well regarding the increase from all time high to another all time high we can see that the bullish trend is still making a way up and we can no predict when it can be stop, But I think a dump from a whale can sure make a wave and the price to stumble down if a certain thing can happen, but It is really hard to speculate for the time being.

Well it's not healthy for a price to jump over $2k in a few weeks, the price is not realistic at all even with the marketplace and userbase getting bigger and bigger. This morning I hate to look twice to see if the price is really $14k, almost $15k... I'm not an economist but damn...

No-one can say exactly at which direction bitcoin will move in next year but if current trends also continues on 2018 than price might get well over $100k per bitcoin easily with many corrections in midways.

You should remain updated from every bitcoin related news/updates so that you can buy/sell bitcoin according to market trend.

no more or very limited corrections

The whales have given up - they’ve got no hand left to play any more apart from a losing one

No one know but last growth of bitcoin happens fast which mean it’s pumped price and will get big correction soon

may be before the end of 2017 or at 2018 

In my opinion, Bitcoin prices will keep rising through many months before we see a significant drop and I don't even see that happening in 2018.

What seems apparently to me is that it is closing 2017 on an average of $20000. My bet specifically is around $18,000. However from 2018 first quarter, your guess is as good as mine as we are going to see a steep upward trend that would even cause borderline investors jump in.

I wouldn't say these are good because most of these people are in it to get a cut of the pie. The higher Bitcoin climbs there'll be a bandwagon effect that will create more awareness that in 2018, we may have unbelievable figure as high as $80,000.

It sounds outlandish but we are all witnesses to what could happen with what is happening.

Again , it is very unpredictable .
The current trend does not support the statement but t can be true as well . The fear of bitcoin being a bubble may lead to dumping which will eventually crash the price . Or maybe by 2018 bitcoin breaks more records . Everyone needs to be on the safe side at this time , there is no guarantee of bitcoin's volatility right now . Best approach will be holding some and withdrawing most of it  . For me it is the best time for using those long time holdings .      At this moment i just hope that if bitcoin comes down , it doesn't come down too fast .         

Never. BTC price will increase day by day. In 2018 I expect price will rise up to 25000$. So this is the perfect time in BTC coin.
I think this trend is good for other crypto coins.

Nope the demand of bitcoin will still there and will keep increasing when it comes of investors theres no problem with that we know that bitcoin is not yet all mined it means that thers a possibilities that bitcoins become higher price  and in 2018 by january its guaranteed that bitcoin will boost its price again.

Prices will rise only in future the main reason about the rise is that people are now knowing completely about bitcoin and are impressed and satisfied by the working of bitcoin and all this will be more amused when the price of bitcoin will cross 20k in the end if 2k17 and then whole world will know about the reality that the future will be all about bitcoin and 2k18 will be more awesome than the 2k17 and price will be more impressive.

"in 2018" is a whole year you are asking about and in long term bitcoin is going to be rising as long as nothing about it is changed and so far only the adoption of bitcoin is increasing and that suggests a rise in price in long term is not going to change.

however, it is possible to see some drop. that is the healthy reaction of any market in the whole world to go down after some rise. they are called "corrections". and it will last a short while before everything is back to normal and rising up again.

From my views the price of bitcoin will not go down in 2018 because  now a days the demand of bitcoin is more towards the people that why the price of bitcoin increases in the future. Bitcoin help the people to become rich and full fill their dream which they are think only. But know one sure about the price of bitcoin it may increase or decrease depend on the demand of bitcoin but by seeing it popularity now a days it sure that the price of bitcoin will not go down.

We have already seen that bitcoin prices have decreased some time ago, it has shown that bitcoin may be falling in price. So it is very difficult to predict how the bitcoin price movement in 2018. We may only be optimistic to face next year, oh yes I think the most important thing is the steady increase of bitcoin price because with stable increase it can make bitcoin price much safer. Compared to a significant increase but can not give us comfort and security. If bitcoin prices can rise very quickly then it is likely to decrease very quickly as well.

It will and why not? Since the crypto built from the speculation because that based on the demand and the supply. The actual price can't be determined. The futures contract will be completed and that just another hype to the bitcoin next year.

I do not believe that anyone will dare to use for buying or selling bitcoin futures contracts. I think it's absurd. Another attempt to control the price of bitcoin ended another failure. I'm sure next year will be bitcoin no less productive than this one. The popularity of bitcoin will only go up with its price.

There's a possibility that it will go down but i think bitcoin will recover fast well who knows what will happen. The increasing price of bitcoin is surely amazing but there's always an ups and downs so maybe it is the same for bitcoin.

you have inconsistencies in speech. the popularity of the bitcoin on the rise is a good signal. Why do you fear that the price will decline. Bitcoin prices have soared in recent days, this will lead to a price correction soon. However, I think it will happen in December
It is difficult to predict the price of Bitcoin in 2018 but ccording to the current trend certainly prices will continue to rise. Bitcoin is the hot topic in the coming year. new investors will jump on Bitcoin is a sure thing

May be it will never happen. Because btc price going up rapidly  day by day. I think btc price will reach around 25k$ at the end of 2018.

At some point, bitcoin bull trend should end. And two things is possible if that happens.
1. Bitcoin price starts to fall and crash back to less that 12K or
2. It moves sideways for a very long time.

Either way, a correction will happen because of how the price surges up. 

Who knows? But the matter of thing is that bitcoin demand is getting higher day by day and it's value is also getting higher. The increasing graph of it's value is not stable. The value is increasing unconditionally and it is not comfortable for anyone. As we know that the bitcoin price had fallen many times in the past, so it's not pretty much sure that what is gonna be happen in 2018. A better advice is to save your bitcoins and wait for a comfortable time zone. Every rise has a fall. So we must mentally prepare our-self for the bitcoin future, any thing can happen.

perhaps cause bitcoin valued is so high maybe it will collapse suddenly like what happened before. And as I read the news earlier they said there's a new fork that can break down bitcoin valued  on this December 23 . I think right now we need to monitor the bitcoin growth rate  to protect our profits cause it can reduce a lot of profits when that times come.  

it looks like the price will crash anytime soon.
the chart is just waaaay too abnormal for a rise

Yes.The price of bitcoin will fluctuates, depend on the investment and selling process. Till the year end there will not any dump in price.After the New year may be some up's and down. You should ready your mind to accept the both ,the raise and fall.Unless you keep your mind steady you can't do trading.Ready to use the chance to inverse your money at low rates after new year.

There is a possibility that in the next few weeks until the new year there will be a decline in bitcoin prices, of course there are various factors that affect it, and among them face the big day of Christmas and New Year of course there will be quite high bitcoin sales which causes price reduction of bitcoin.

So many people are waiting for some huge price corrections before the end of the year. It could happen as no one knows what the future holds but at least, now is all we have and we may expect corrections and end up not seeing one. If the price should go down, then we just buy more, if not, then we just keep holding. However, bitcoin in 2018 will really shake the earth.

I am really looking forward to that price correction bro cause that may be the chance we may get to buy in this low before hitting the mainstream. In less than 24 hours, seeing such a crazy movement is alarming but I will definitely get used to it for now, because this is not crazy yet. With big players hitting the game sooner, we can start seeing how things will roll in a way we have never experienced in the crypto world.

You said it yourself "Bitcoin graph is going up and up, the popularity of bitcoin increasing day by day"... Thus, the more people join the bitcoin the more valuable and secure the bitcoin price is going to be. There may be some few corrections on the way and bitcoin will surely recover, no doubt about that.

All things can happen, usually every end of the year before natal bitcoin prices always skyrocketed, last year the price of $ 1200 before christmas then drop to $ 900 month of january. this year is likely to happen again.

There might be a little chance for bitcoin price going back to $7K in 2018 if a big crash occurs. But i don't think so. As per my prediction, bitcoin should reach $15K minimum at the end of December 2017. Its due to number of investors have increased buying bitcoins and other altcoins as well. As like  bitcoin, other altcoins growth is very healthy.

That is honestly the best thing to do so far for now. There is no need being greedy and with the big dudes entering soon, I am sure they will want to shake off some weak investors to be able to get in at a better level.

No one can say yet what bitcoin's value will be like in 2018, but I do not expect it to remain stagnant but i perceive it to even get better than what we have had this year with so many developments that are coming up.

The price has been going down substantially in the last couple of days, so i'm not sure.

If the bear trend continues for a few days and this turned out to be the start of a bear season then 2018 would really be some sort of slaughterhouse for anyone going long with bitcoin. But then at the same time, if it can rebound to around $15k and hold its ground around that mark then obviously bitcoin is able to again, break out potentially to higher heights in 2018.

These last 2 weeks in the year would be incredibly crucial for the forecast going into 2018, because it sets the mood for the year.

As always the graph in 2018 also will go zigzag,we knows that bitcoin price will increase according to its demand but now the price of bitcoin is very high so the price is going upward crazy but surely the price correction will occur before end of 2017,after that the price will go as normal rate.
I hope the price of bitcoin will reach $25K in 2018,but there is no exact answer for this kind of questions so we have to understand the bitcoin investment risk before investing on it so make sure your investing an amount your are afford to lose.

I think it's simple. More and more people are going to invest in bitcoin, so the price will go up. I don't know if 50%,  100% or 500%. I expect some corrections that will make some people afraid of investing in bitcoin (which I think it's good avoiding a huge bubble) but in the end we'll have a bitcoin at a higher price.
That's why I'm hodling  ;)

The abnormality happen to bitcoin right now is because most people who earn a profit after the price pump so high are now selling there bitcoin or maybe they afraid to make bitcoin crash.
But Im sure bitcoin will go down in 2018 there will be an official list of fork happen in that year it will create a bit dump then after that the price boom again :)

It is really hard to predict the exact price range in 2018,one thing is sure that ,we wont see another rally from this price,if that happens it would be insane and the bubble will burst any time,i really did not like the price rally even now,i expected a good steady rally but this is too much of a rally and i am sure it wont sustain for a long time as the whales who purchased the coins will dump the coins down the line if they find profitable.

Definetely Yes, there' s a possibility that the price will collapse after the value reached the biggest value this few days. All things may happen and affect the value of bitcoin ny next year.(2018) But I think bitcoin will recover again. Because the demand in the market still grows and It will continue in succeding months next year.

No one actually knows what will happen in the future. Everyone has their own speculations regarding the price of bitcoin just like what other speculators said that bitcoin's price next year can reach $40,000 and so on. What will happen to bitcoin is it's popularity with increase and also it's demand.

obviously so. demand for Bitcoin increasing day by day. in my country people are together buy bitcoin. bitcoin really became a hot topic in here. When demand increases, the prices will be pushed up because bitcoin price affected by market supply and demand

Depending on your perspective of "go down".
Some corrections after bulls run? Yes of course, there will be some minor corrections due to people want to cash out their profits. But, go down below $10,000? I'm not sure as no one can predict what will happen in the future, as I believe $10K is the new level of bitcoin price without major correction or price crash caused by government regulations or political problems inside the community regarding scale solutions to afford so much transactions that will come over time. That are something inevitable in the future as bitcoin gain more and more attention every day.

Yes as we have witnessed this in the past and currently witnessing same as there is more demand for bitcoin in the market it's value increases but when the demand is less value decreases and sometimes i wonder if the big corporate can play a major role in the fluctuating the value of bitcoin by creating more demand (by buying in huge amount) if they want to increase the value and selling out in bulk to reduce the value of bitcoin. I have heard Venezuelan government is planning for it's own blockchain based crypto which might give bitcoin a push.

Prices are unpredictable now because who knows at which time demand will low or high the only thing I can assume about 2k18 is that year will be full of surprises and prices will go more higher so be ready to take advantages the fall is here now and get your coin at only 13.5k and this will take the price to the 18k in next two days and this is sure that upcoming time will be more fascinating to the newbies as usual,

It is really hard to predict anything and predictions does not always turn out to be true as we have witnessed the massive increase in the value of bitcoin which was never predicted to happen this year and i still remember as per the predictions in the month of June this year people were so desperate to see bitcoin crossing $1500 mark and we had a huge pump which was never expected to happen so soon thus we cannot predict the future but one thing we can predict from the trend which is bitcoin will not go below the $10,000 mark.

Correction in the market value of Bitcoin is a normal situation and if serious correction will take place in 2018 no one can tell. Because there must be a reason for such major correction to take place with Bitcoin value in 2018. In as much as am concerned i so much believe in all the positive prediction and am yet to about any negative prediction.

Yes, in fact those are quite unpredictable as seen in recent weeks, right now the situation is a bit uptight to call it somehow because the price may experience a fairly steep drop or on the contrary increase more considerably by perhaps putting the value above $20k, but still the situation would be quite tense, because almost everyone would be waiting for a fairly strong correction from one moment to another, towards to 2018 the price can go up and down repeatedly but in the end it could close with an increase maybe.

Supply and demand is the basic of all commodities to change it price, but when it comes to bitcoin there are more things that can change its price value.
But as ive seen in the market chart there will be a trend for bitcoin to get its price continue to grow by the next 3 months of 2018.

It will not down in 2018, it will grow more than 2017. 2017 is just the beginning of digital money and everything is still ahead. I believe in the rise of bitcoin next year.

Well, you can assume very much what will happen, what price, how the price of demand will fall if it is significant, whether bitcoin will live another year or will be replaced. There are more questions than answers and it can only be shown by time.

Yeah,as you said it looks just the beginning the price will increase more in 2018.The price of bitcoin falls rapidly after the huge price bump but it recovered in just couple of days the price is again passed $16K so we can expect $20K before end of this year.
The rapid increase shows that people started to understand about crypto currency and thy are making their way for investment so I hope more and more people when the days passed so the price will hit $50K in 2018.

It's even harder now to predict since bitcoin futures is just starting it's launch. What's good now is bitcoin looks very good and stable at $13,000 and I guess this is now the beautiful stable price of bitcoin so whenever the price of bitcoin will go upwards, it will still go downward but with the good stable price of $13,000. 2018 looks going to be another great year as if every year is.

That's right $13k is the stable price before the year change and I hope bitcoin have more developments and features by next year so that it will attract more investors and miners to invest, and we the holders will be the one who benefit of that. And I think year 2018 will be as good as this year and bitcoin will still continue to grow, so the best way to earn is to keep holding it and just wait next year.

I don't think so, at least if you check what's going on with the crypto world on the media it doesn't looks like.

bitcoin prices in 2018 will continue to rise even though the price drops a bit and will rise again it is normal for the process to get to the top. Although there are many other coin coins that have sprung up for bitcoin but still the bitcoin has always been the top coin it signifies the popularity of bitcoin is so great in the eyes of the world community that dropping the bitcoin price for now is very difficult.

Bitcoin will get more companies and countries to adopt it to their environment. This year is one of the best years of bitcoin from $1,000 from the beginning of the year landing to $16,000 and even so close to $20,000 at the end of the year. And this will make year of 2018 to be more productive and it's growth is like multiplied by tens each year.

2k18 will be more interesting year for the bitcoin investor because as we see the price is rising a lot in these days and this will give a huge start to the 2k18 to progress more and the huge crowd of people is coming to invest into bitcoin in coming year and this will give more rise to the prices as well and there will be price going above the 20k+ in the end of 2k17 and will give millions of profit in the coming new year.

$2k in few weeks? Bro! We had a move from around $14k to more than $16k within 24 hours. That was alarming if you ask me, but it is the crypto world, surprises are bound to happen and whatever happens should be expected. However, I would not want to be too pessimistic right now knowing that there could be a huge growth in 2018 as well as some sharp corrections, but we just have to wait for it.

i have doubts that there's a possibility to be drop in 2018 as i noticed my profits  now adays decreasing . It always dump and make me feel scared about huge lose cause i didn't see any positive reaction of bitcoin valued as of now. 

Many people goes to invest their fund on bitcoin and I see many people discuss about the bitcoin in the facebook videos and even some write about that too on Twitter bro. I think we will find the better price in the year 2018. We may find the more adoption and business implementation on bitcoin in this year 2018.
Please try to buy the bitcoin as soon as possible you can that will spike its value double the amount end of 2018 or even before itself.

Everyone is making some outrageous prediction about bitcoin recently. The Sao bank said that bitcoin will go $60k which will bring marketcap to $1 trillion before decreasing to its fundamental value of $1k in 2018. Similarly Nassim Nicholas Taleb who has predicted many of the world events correctly, said that bitcoin can easily touch $100k in 2018.

Everyone has their own logic and prediction. What I have seen so far is that bitcoin has proven most of the prediction wrong and is highly unpredictable now.

What will happen by 2018?? it is just another year.
Bitcoin exists since 2009 and every year its price increases.
Many people expected Bitcoin to crash by 2017 but here we are and nothing happened, on the contrary, Bitcoin is stronger and more people are joining the community.
What is for sure is that the number of digital currency users is growing which implies the growth of cryptocurrency market and its continuance.
Don't be so pessimistic.
