You posted this a few days early, but yea it will get there.

bitcoin will reach 20k very soon,maybe just few days later

It should burst before hitting 20k now IN MY OPINION, this doens't mean that I am right, since I am poor at speculating but seeing this huge jump causes red flag for the bubble that could pop and slow things down a bit. I am positive tho that if all go well we should see 20k next year really positive for that, if not at least it will have some price for us to be able to use it - it will have at least that.

It seems like BTC is going to retrace very soon. but then again, i thought that when it hit $12,000 USD  :)

It is at $17k on coinbase right now, I am sure it will hit $20k at some point but I would be astonished if it didnt tank down before. Looks like a lot of people have been hopping on the train since it hit $10,000 ( a ton of my friends have been messaging me about buying coins ). I just wish it happened for ETH since I have been in it longer than bitcoin.

I can't believe it. Just a few weeks ago I was freaking out at my parents because it was at 7K... it's absolutely ridiculous.

A correction may happen soon after this insane leaps and crazy price jumps a correction is not bad cause it depicts good health for bitcoin that can slow things and might not be able for us to reach 20k usd for now but definitely next year we could reach it especially when there is an big investor coming up.

Hmm. I think it's totally possible in this year if Bitcoin price keep increasing with this speed :)). It increased more than about more than 3k$ in just a day. :)) There are more than 20 days till the end of this year if Bitcoin price increase 3k$ everyday from now till the end of this year you think what will happen? LOL

I don't understand where this screenshot. I have never seen such a price. Today the price is above 17...00 dollars was not raised anywhere else. Maybe it's your dream? But if the boom in the market will not stop tomorrow your dream can become a reality. I think the growth will continue for another week. Then it will dump.

Yes, There are some flash jump to that price than very fast correction.
People keep crazy buying order and coinbase was maintenance for long time to fix this issue and now they are get back. So price will continue increase very fast...

Screen shoot from Bithumb it is about 21k now.

Strong Bitcoin believer, however, this sudden increase in BTC price is shocking. I think its time to sell  and wait for a pull back.

It will happen by Monday.

It is already at 21k ,just  check bithumb. ;D

It will be able to reach 20 000 usd before 2018, I believe that fact, but in return a greater volatility for its price. And in 2018, expect a greater rate of increase for the bitcoin, there is more to come.

I think bitcoin can be up to 20k for this month, seen its development is now a very drastic rise, not only I am all definitely berharaobegitu.

It was already at $19,647 for a brief second on GDAX (Coinbase) earlier today, so I definitely think we will be seeing $20k before the end of the year. Someone just jumped the gun a bit early today as the other exchanges weren't quite ready.

Definitely because every minute, bitcoin price increases. I'm so surprised with its quick increase but I will be happy if I had a bitcoin in my wallet. But sad to say, I only have very small amount of it so I don't expect that I can gain bigger profit from it.

I do not know what you are posting, maybe you post about 20K bitcoin price, if that's what you are looking for, I think all that will happen depends on how the pioneering business is. and maybe you should be more detailed in making inquiries

Bitcoin's performance for past 2 days is absolutely ridiculous! I wouldn't be surprised to see 20k by Sunday if this keeps up! I think we are seeing a 25k before 2018!

Btc will go up, this will always increase, it possibility will go down sometime, we dont know that

I would love to have a correction, so I could invest more! With the continuous bull run of BTC, 20k$ in the next few weeks isn't impossible!

What happen bitcoin is unstoppable !  I want to earn more and hold it now i see the future of bitcoin it will become more popular in the next year i'm excited to hold this and i'm going to watch in bitcoin ! Bitcoin is the one that can change the world.

BTC was over $19k on coinbase recently, but on some other renowned exchanges like bitfinex and bittrex.com it hasn't crossed the $16k line yet. If this uptrend continues then it wouldn't be long before it crossed $20k mark on all exchanges.

With the current move of Bitcoin it might reach 20k+ but in my opinion it will not, I believe the current price growth of Bitcoin is too much already. There are 2 reasons why this is happening first because of the future exchange and second because of the no ETA FORK and there is the market correction which might happen anytime also. Change is coming and it will dictate the future of Bitcoin.

Same here, I'm starting to get to a point where I don't know what to think about bitcoin no more.

Bitcoin continues to grow, those who are keeping bitcoin are really happy  ;D ;D

I think BTC will reach 22000$ but, it can dump like 2013 agian.

Yeah ,Your posted was early for bitcoin price but I think the price of bitcoin will going to $20k soon and bitcoin price is easyly go to $40k after this 2017 year.And who investing in bitcoin are not repent to the price of bitcoin  and I hope bitcoin price will continue increasingly.

That is from the Korean exchanges. Korea is really seeing the coin at a higher price and they really wants to have their own bitcoin. Others are saying that it is also because of the ongoing conflict between the North and the South that is why people are trying to stash their Fiat to Bitcoin.

the bitcoin money moving forward. This is the time for investors to hold their own bitcoin now all who know about bitcoin are expectations to be coming $20k everybody is excited that happens.

Started from $700 from last year bitcoin has crossed $17000 price tag. Bitcoin is rising much ahead of its predicted price in very short span of time. If this pace remain intact then it will cross $20000 before end of 2017. Rising demand of bitcoin in cryptocurrency market is increasing its volatility. As a result many economic experts, governments and central banks are warning their clients about investing in bitcoin currency. But still bitcoin price is rising, it will go beyond $20000 soon.

is really possible that bitcoin reach that price, it could be amazing if bitcoin reach that price this year.

I think that before the New Year we can see the bitcoin rate of $ 30,000, because, in my opinion, bitkoyn such rates will continue to grow in price and beyond. Now his rate is $ 17,096 and every day he adds about a thousand dollars. This is unthinkable. Probably, nobody expected such a sharp rise. Bitcoin is pumped up like a bubble, which is about to burst.

Well, it all depends on the law of demand and supply. You will notice that Bitcoin price is not same in every country so the price is determined based on the current demand of the market and supply for the same. It works like UBER surge pricing feature and as a result, something like this happens

* Bitcoin Price Hits $26,000 in Zimbabwe as Country's Sole Exchange Suffers 'Technical Fault' (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/tech-glitch-affects-bitcoin-orders-in-zimbabwe/).

However, I think Bitcoin will reach $20K in international markets soon but there is a possibility of the correction and that will reduce the price by 20% to 30% in my opinion.

The actual price difference is currently huge between exchanges because of increased volatility that is unprecedented in known history of bitcoin (10k variation in one week. Wow). So it is a little too much to say "it is already 21k" because "it is already at 21k at bithumb" and to be more exact "there might have been only a single transaction at bithumb at 21k. Personally, I use the price metrics from coinmarketcap or coindesk, those services show the price averaged over exchanges, and are much more truthful than a single exchange price.

What is interesting, that with current volatility those two services differ widely between each other too

If the rate continues to flourish at a fast rate, there's no doubt that Bitcoin would reach $20,000 anytime soon (maybe even sooner that expected). However, this increase may quite be alarming because for every rise, there is an equal opposite downfall. Hopefully, we can all be aware and prepared for this. Right now, I guess what we can do is enjoy the moment with Bitcoin having such a remarkable rate.

i want to clarify my mate that bitcoin price is surely increasing with a quick rate and in very short duration it will cross 20k$ soon.
I am not agree with the idea of equal rise and equal downfall because rate of bitcoin is increasing due to its an excellent performance and due to which it is continuously getting more and more customers so in future the rate of bitcoin will most probably increasing while there is small chance of falling.

Nobody believed, nobody expected this course to be achieved so soon  :o
I think that 25000 is the maximum for this year.

It's already over 20K, so before Christmas. Will our goal be defined as 30K? I'm not like selling bitcoin, so this crazy price increase may end up hurt us, who knows?

No one know what will be with Bitcoin. Bitcoin going to The Andromeda Nebula not to the Moon. This is crazy for some reason. Growth, growth :P
GDAX is trading at over $1,000 above normal exchanges for BTC/USD spot market. Very strange behaviour. If they had proper fiat banking flows this would be free money for arbitrageurs - @whalepool.

I need to elucidate my mate that bitcoin cost is doubtlessly expanding with a speedy rate and in brief term it will cross 20k$ soon.

I am not concur with parallel ascent and equivalent destruction since rate of bitcoin is expanding because of its a magnificent execution and because of which it is constantly getting an ever increasing number of clients so in future the rate of bitcoin will most likely expanding while there is little possibility of falling.

To the people pushing for $20k in this thread. We have only recently celebrated the Bitcoin price, crossing $10 000 and now you want it to go to $20 000. Do not let greed, cloud your judgement with these predictions. A lot of people are reading these threads and they use credit cards and loans to buy bitcoins and that would completely destroy them, if the price drop with huge margins, like it did before.

Let's just be realistic and responsible at the same time. ^grrrrrrrr^

It is expected to continue to rise above 20k dollars.

This is not a question of greed, it is a statement of the real state of affairs. The bitterin grows, practically not stopping.
And the border of 20,000, today will be passed.

Precisely it's time to sell bitcoin while there is an opportunity. I feel it's good for him will not end, there will be a big explosion and disappointment. But by the end of the year you can postpone this question.

It would not be too unlikely unert the current market sentiment. A large amount of capital flows are happening right into Bitcoin markets and the current upward trend had buyers holding and therefore shortening demand. It's all a very interesting event to watch but it's very much uncertain for how long it could be sustained.

it's amazing, I never thought bitcoin would go up quickly. I admit that bitcoin today is very good, and can give big advantage for its users.
"get rich quickly"

may be next week after monday bitcoin will hit 20.000 $. in indonesia exchange / vip.bitcoin.id last night it price hit Rp 294.000.000,- 1 $ equal rp 14.000 and more, it mean its hit 21000 $..try calculate..tell me when i am wrong

From today, Steam no longer accepts bitcoins as a form of payment due to significant fluctuations in its value and high commissions. DECEMBER 6
We will make every possible effort to correct the problems that users have caused due to underpayments or commission fees. The Steam Team
 ??? ??? ??? ???
What does it mean? Bitcoin now like a money box not instrument of payment  ???

I agree with you. This target will complete in few months.

+25% in last 24 hours. increasing about $4k just in 1 day.
This could happen because one of reason about implementation lightning network was success
https://medium.com/@lightning_network/lightning-protocol-1-0-compatibility-achieved-f9d22b7b19c4

Another reason could be happen with upcoming fork on December 12, 2017 which will creates altcoins Bitcoin Platinum (BTCPLT), is expected to fork off the original Bitcoin protocol, at the block height 496525. The cryptocurrency’s features of interest include the following: lack of pre-mine, GPU mining, and SegWit2x technology.

I think that the bit coin will go up to 30k sufficiently.

its makes no sense, and makes me think hard, why bitcoin has increased rapidly? in 1 day increase reaches $ 4000.

Some bad news for a little correction:
- South Korea's regulator banned futures for bitcoin.
- The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is afraid of manipulation at the cost of bitcoin.
- The leakage report to the shareholders of Bitfinex confirmed their manipulation with Tether.
- The largest gaming platform Steam abandoned bitcoin.
Time to buy  ;)

On bithumb BTC is already above 20,000 USD. On Coindesk, BTC is "only" 15,770 USD. Any idea why is this huge gap between Asian and Western BTC markets?

I already know this, and it does not surprise me, because bitcoin always gives me a big advantage to every user. I predict in the beginning of 2018 bitcoin will reach $ 25000.

Near future. ;D

Hopefully before this year ends,
I think it could if the price continue to increase maybe it would in just a few more days.

You can see the Korean and Japanese as standalone market. It will affect by just a little. Meanwhile, the BTC is 15K+ only.

However, it will get to this position at some time by not recently, IMO.

The Asian market as a wild west or a minefield. Today $20000 Tommorow $15000. Asia is a major player in crypto world.
It is very difficult to understand it, at least for me.

I need to buy bitcoin for trading but the way it is going up everyday, am afraid to do so.

IT will be over 20k and stable or more over 20k before 18th of this month means CME start.
After that we may see huge dumps.
War for BTC will begin in the day of 18th of December 2017

Definitely, because at the rate of which the price of bitcoin is rising now, I think the price will hit $20k before the up coming fork. As it is now the demand for bitcoin is very high and that will make the price of bitcoin to keep rising to the fork. I won't be surprised if the price of bitcoin reaches $20K/ bitcoin before the up coming super bitcoin SBT schedule on the 15 and 16 December, 2017.

Where that chart came from? I had a good vibes that $20,000 is coming and we don't have to rush. Can you give us some explanation on what this chart is all about? or are you from future and you want to share this chart from 2018?

---

I mentioned about future because there is a guy that posted on reddit 4 years ago and told that bitcoin will be hitting $10,000 on 2018 and it happened earlier this and by 2019 it will become $100,000.

Right, it might happen. Nobody could foresee that the hype around Bitcoin will be so fantastically great! A very few people want to sell BTC, and almost all want to buy it. Therefore its price can reach new heights.

Bitcoin price is totally on fire this year, looking at the bitcoin price chart daily is really painful for me as I regretted badly why didn't I purchase more bitcoins to keep it in my bitcoin wallet, it seems that there is still more room for bitcoin values to rise even further.

Everyone is speculating about the 20k and this thread has gone above and this shows that investors are more hopeful for the price to rise more but as in my region bitcoin has become so precious that only millionaire can invest into it and this thing show a threat toward the statement that bitcoin will give benefit to everyone so all those who don’t have so much money to buy they are also worrying how they will survive.

Bitcoin gave almost 10 years of affordable prices, if people did not get in that is on them, I do not have a lot of bitcoin but I was able to get some before the price exploded, so people have no one to blame but themselves, many are going to say it was unfair but all of those that invested when the price was lower took a chance and now are being rewarded by their trust in bitcoin.

Today started the trading session for the BTC futures and fortunately enough, it is well received by the investors and traders alike. Huge contracts were sold for long position and this outcome pushed the price of BTC once again. We saw it dipped this weekend and many speculated that it is the start of its consolidation but boy they were wrong. With these events happening in the background, I believe that BTC will surely surpass the $20k mark and move forward at an alarming rate.

I would not have thought that bitcoin will be 20,000$ if you told me 3 moths ago. the way it's moving is scary !!

20k is possible  ;D

On fire, that's right! And believe that this fire will continue to burn, and it can just be hotter! Don't regret do it now, there is so much place left for price to grow, we are heading to 5 digits in next couple years. And when I look  on other alts and how much their prices grown, I think we need to buy bitcoins and alts, or we will regret much more, this is not the top, we need to be prepared for that, and only way to be prepared for future is to make a stash with all the coins that we can buy or earn or what ever just to have them in our possession.

It won't happen this month, maybe by next quarter? Bitcoin price has become more stable this week and seems sliding down. Maybe, those holders already profited from the price surge and will wait for another chance to buy and hold again.

Those who are saying that it is unfair are those who are bitter because they're weren't able to join the party. If it weren't for it's price that it is in right now, it wouldn't be that popular or attractive. Not everyone gave it a second look years ago and it was ignored by skeptics. For people to say that it is unfair would be selfish, because they weren't able to gain for themselves.

The way its move its really scary many already stop to buying and now waiting for next correction which can happen any time now I think its going to touch this figure 20K in End of January or in February because very fast movement happening and whales can do some big change any time in future

yes all possibilities can occur in bitcoin and bitcoin price increase that is currently going beyond the prediction. And don't rule out if in the next few months bitcoin prices will be able to reach $ 20,000, and of course really a significant increase in bitcoin in this year.

Obviously this has not happened yet, even on the Korean exchanges.

Though if the current trend can continue next year then this wouldn't be far away at all. Right now after the correction we stand at $16-17k comfortably with some room upwards still. $20k is within eyesight, and isn't a dream like it was a few years ago.

A lot of people are concerned about the bubble popping before $20k is hit, but in my opinion if the bubble pops next year or this year, $20k will be hit first before the bubble pops.

Just going with the market trend right now, the rebound was very very strong.

Has this actually happened? Because i know that korean exchanges usually have around 500-1k higher prices than normal, USD based domestic exchanges. But at the same time i don't think that the price has gotten high enough to hit that figure yet.

Anyways, i'm going to take this as a prediction.

Yes, i think it's going to happen. Possibly this year, but most likely very early in the next year.

Bitcoin's coverage has hit an all time high and it isn't slowing down. Even with all the negativity surrounding futures trading and BTC price potentially getting dumped to the floor, we're still getting media attention. And that's good for price.

Holding is the best way to make money from bitcoin and other crypto currencies. I think many people that have been saying we should sell our coins in other for bitcoin to looks like currency and not something like stocks and securities are jelious of what bitcoin has made some of us. I think bitcoin will get to $25,000 before end of this year and this may happen this week.

No where such a price has been marked. Everywhere on an average the price is found to be around $17000-$17500 right now. Past week when the price increased above $18000, some exchange was providing at a marked value of $19000 and some traders quote a 10% hike from the market price.

I agree with this, I would like to have more bitcoin but the small amount of bitcoin I got is good enough for me and if one of my investments materializes then the rest of my life could be changed, so those that are saying that things are unfair are right but not for the reasons they believe, now everyone is seeing bitcoin is going to become a success but that was not a sure thing years ago so those that invested in bitcoin at that  time took a huge risk.

Yes, Bitcoin is one of the perfect example of the saying the higher the risk the higher the reward and in this case it is $19,000 reward. I have known Bitcoin years ago but did not even bother investing on it, back then I have never thought that Bitcoin will even reach $100.  In my mind who would buy a created money on the internet, Of course undeniably I was dead wrong and  as we all know now you can almost buy anything in the internet with Bitcoin. For the people who are saying it was unfair that they were not able to join the party well it is not too late they can still buy Bitcoin and still enjoy the bull ride.

yes, bitcoin will reach $20k for sure. So it is not too late for those who wanted to invest today, for sure all of us will gain profit especially to those who holds for a long time. Last time the highest price of bitcoin I remember is $4800 and some people asking if it is too late for them to invest. Now we already have another ATH so for sure it is still not too late.

This is true, no matter which coin you hold or shall I say HODL you would have earned an "interest" by their value going up, I am talking and saying this for top and most recognizable crypto coins out there. All of them are pumping now. This is because nobody knows which one is the winner, which will be mostly used in the future - but its obvious that we will end up with using many of them at end.

Bitcoin hitting 20k is still something I never though was possible I was even sceptic about it being 40k even! I guess media is doing their job to keep the show rollin we should thank them for that. Some people are talking that this scene is a bubble. but lets look at real bubble -> dot com one of the biggest out there it was worth few trillions of dollars crypto is not even close to that + to invest in bitcoin and altcoins its global, while dot com and housing bubble were only for specific type of people since it required more work/knowledge to get into it. But with crypto coins its easy you go register to an exchange and you can start right away.

Most of the people saying bitcoin is a bubble are people that do not know anything about crypto, they seem unable to accept the fact that something new and revolutionary like bitcoin could be invented and that people are smart enough to see the potential of this coin, or they may be aware of that but they are mad since they are directly affected by bitcoin adoption since they are part of the banking industry.

Mate you are late see the market rate it is already at 20k and heading toward more and people are very happy with this rate of increase and this thing is impressing people more and they all are taking out their money from banks and other investments and are investing in bitcoin and their act is giving more rise to the bitcoin and sooner they will get their profit part as well and I see the graph of prices going up and giving people profit,

Many people have speculated that bitcoin is going to get to 20,000 dallers and I am not surprised with this great progress that bitcoin has made and I believe that it will still be going up. After this little correction we may still have another bullish trends that may get the price above  $20,000 by next week. I think the current FUD That has lead to many coin flipping in crypto currencies market will end today and coins will soon starting to flow back very soon.

BITCOIN makes me believe what is not possible so I Think give it 3 or more days then it will hit 20k USD .. I am a bit woried despite of pricing and value bumps up because it will gain more and more fees at it is grows.. and I am only just starting to earn small in cryptocurrency especially in altcoin and ETHEREUM I checked that if I will exchange my alts to bitcoin.. the remaining balance that I will get is just 1/4 of my earnings because of fees when exchanging it to get bitcoin.. but happy also because bitcoin is much higher now

Those were the days where bitcoin has reached 20,000$ and most of people missed those days to happen again anytime this year. Hopefully bitcoin's fate this year is better than last year and that it will reach new value high.

Bitcoin last December reached $ 20000.Then the price dropped to $ 6000.Now it is growing slowly.today bitcoin value $ 11550.In the next three months it is likely to touch $ 20000 again.

I believe that he will be able to reach this price range this year, albeit not as quickly as many would like but slowly but surely

Well it can't be helped. After btc broke ath at 20k last december, there are all these negative remarks and warnings from governments and financial institutions about investing in cryptocurrencies. And here will be more, you can count on that. The thing is that many as well are doing research about this kind of investment and that's a good sign for btc and the entire crypto market.
