There has been a lot of speculation of bitcoin being a big bubble ready to burst,what are your thoughts about it

Depends on what your definition of a bubble is and about how big this crash will be. If you think it is pushed up too high then yes it is in a bubble but I don't expect a severe crash and for bitcoin to be worth 1k in a few weeks. I expect bitcoin to be worth probably still 10k if a crash happens and that would be quite big for most who recently got into crypto. Overall yes but not the the way the media projects it imo.

Sure, it will burst out in 2140.

There's a lot of fud going around and a lot of it is coming from naysayers who are butthurt they missed out on the bitcoin boom. However, that's not to say bitcoin isn't going to be a bubble, but as the above guy said, it depends on how you define a bubble. If bitcoin falls in value dramatically for whatever reason then people will say the bubble burst and feel pretty smug with themselves. However, of course it could keep going up and up but I don't think that can last forever and if you look at bitcoin's history it is full of many up and downs and I'm sure both of those things will happen again in the near future.

What i think? That this post is a huge crap, this question has already been asked more than 100000 times in here, it is always the same.


And what are your thoughts? Is i see that you are posting everyday, dont you see that there is always the same thread on the same discussion everyday?

It has already been discussed, a lot of people think that bitcoin is a huge bubble, and a lot of people are saying that it is not, and that the price is only going up because of mass adoption.

No one knows, if you really think that you are risking your money, then dont invest, and that is it.

yes! the same thoughts.everyone who is saying that bitcoin is a bubble - just pass by, risk is not for you. i dont know what will going on with BTC next several years, but i guess we all , guys, will make some money. How big money - difficult to say. But i better will hold the part of  my savings in BTC and other TOP cryptocurrency, than in the bank.  

Regardless of the possibility that bitcoin is a bubble, I think it is difficult for someone of the real bitcoiners who have remained in this community for many years despite the disbelief of many, may feel disappointed or frustrated before an eventual crash in the value of bitcoin, because those who would really be affected would be the greedy speculators who are arriving at the last minute animated by the digital gold fever, willing to pawn up their shirts in order to get into "the trending business".

And they really deserve bankruptcy.

It is not just a big bubble. Is quite a movement and we are still in early stages of adoption. However there is a risk, and this is why you should be diversified. Never have all your money in only one investment.

It wouldn't be impossible for bitcoin's recent price spikes to be the result of a bubble. However, I think that there has been quite a bit of support in the span of 2017 and the money flowing intho crypto markets has allowed for support that crypto hasn't observed again. So even if selling pressure begun the newly found demand would hold up on for support at a recently reached level.

The strong support is what's pushing it forward right now and I think it will carry on into 2018, but that support can dwindle very fast. It's when the new investors stop pouring in that the price will begin to stagnate and then fall. A lot of people will get scared and then start to panic and that's what can set the wheels in motion for a bubble I think. Bitcoin will bounce back though as it always does but a lot of these newbies investing right now will soon panic and vanish if the going gets tough.

Hello , everyone here I need your explanations  to those who has a deeper understanding in bitcoin , does anyone here can explain to me what is really bitcoin bubbles mean? Im almost 6 months in this industry but still can't get it what does it mean. Is it negative or positive tern for bitcoin? Is it a sign of pumping or or a sign of possibly massive dump for bitcoin? Please I need concrete explanation?

Have you not heard of google?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bubble.asp

From wikipedia:


And no, it's not good.

I agree with the other user who posted the same, this has been asked a lot in here, maybe more than 10 times a day, when are you all going to stop posting this crap in here?


It means that they are saying that bitcoin will crash = go down to zero, because they think tha the price is unreal, so it means that once that it gets X price, it will start to bleed and get back to it's roots.

A lot of people are saying that it will probably touch less than five thousand dollars if it crash, but there are a lot of speculations, and no one knows what is really going to happen, or if it is going to crash or not.

It's all crypto currencies, not just Bitcoin. Bitcoin will survive if we see the bubble burst...it's survived 80% drops before, it'll do it again. The healthy thing about a bubble is that it cleans out the rubbish coins that have weak or no business model. It's like a forest fire, it cleans out and ultimately will rejuvenate the market.

Coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Monero, Dash will all survive. And so will new ICOs that have sound business models. If the coin or token provides utility to the market, there will be value and growth.

Bitcoin has been called alot of things right from time. Most people say its a scam, some others say it's a ponzi scheme, and you are not the first person to call it a bubble. Bitcoin has survived over 8 years now, and it is still surviving. There can't be any burst in bitcoin, because the bitcoin fans/backers are much, and more are coming in on daily basis.

Bitcoin is currently in a pump and dump by china and china will not dump until they can make 5 trillion off of their peoples coins.  See my analysis:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2530391.0

Many critics says that Bitcoin has that bubble effect, he still growing and growing and growing and suddenly there will be absoloutly nothing.
But I think that it is different with Bitcoin because there is some drops and raises, UPs and DOWNs which can warn us sometimes that something is going to happen.
This is really a good sign and I see that this is one of the positive things about cryptocurrencies in general.

Its a very true ques,
roumers say it can burst any time but cant say about the destruction will happen how much,lots of bitcoins users don't have any other way after bursting of bitcoin.
so, we should be carefull and have to think other options as well.

Of course everything that is growing so fast is a bubble. Only question is when this will break and how to earn as much as possible before this happens.
But I doubt that it will fall dramatically. And even if it falls back to few 1000usd, it will really soon grow back with even more market cap because people will then go crazy to buy it back and really low price.

Even if it were not functional, inferior to alternatives, it could still survive. Humans don't always make the best choices, and currency is a bit like a cult, or religion. Sorry if it offends the religious ones out there.

No one who has replied in this post will be alive during those years.

the best thing that this forum can do, is just try to avoid or ban all those people who are always posting the same crap.

It is amazing, but i have seen more than three posts saying that bitcoin was a bubble during the two hours that i have been online today.

It seriously needs to stop.

BTC is not going anywhere yet. Remember most people are still unaware of what bitcoin is. Thanks to mainstream media, they didnt want it to spread, so now it is slowly coming out due to the overwhelming success. THis to the dismay of the big bankers and establishment.
Old money does not like new money.remember that

Im waiting big long correction.but bubble? i don't think so. The price flew up so high, just because we had good news background and i think there is panic buy of new inexperienced investors and traders. I think after correction we will see 13-14k$.

I don't think that it's a bubble. It's simply the future :)

Bitcoin is still fresh & young coin ( as well other cryptocurrencies )  so it won't burst ( at least for some years from now ) ; in fact the  recent massive growth can't uniquely determine bitcoin future, other factors are to take in consideration too

Bubble... yes, most likely, but that's not unexpected when it comes to new technology, the hype always leads to speculation which leads to more hype. This is a cycle which then feeds on itself into a frenzy before it finally bursts. We're likely to see this bubble burst, but that's not to say that it won't ever recover, even the dot.com bubble has surpassed its marketcap valuation and none would call it a bubble now.

So, yes... Bitcoin is probably a bubble, and yes it will probably burst, there's no way of knowing when (could be months, could be years), but even after it bursts, it will most likely recover (it could take years before it hits another ATH once it bursts though).

this is the same question that a lot of people, including myself, have been thinking about.

The problem is not if it is a bubble, the real problem is WHEN it will burst.

But no one knows that answer, because it is impossible to know when is it going to be the end.

I don't think that it will burst, but maybe a new innovative altcoin will appear someday, and this altcoin will be much more popular, than bitcoin in the future.

I believed bitcoin will survived, I'm just wondering why they always think that bitcoin is just a bubble and may burst? They just relying on every speculations. Well, on my own opinion bitcoin can do the same as what was happened in the previous years. They think it before that bitcoin can no longer survived because there might no investors and traders interested on this crypto currencies and now everything happening in opposite outcomes that suddenly increasing. I would say that this could be possible to happen again since as our technology used as an instrument to introduce this crypto currencies that helps us to make it easy and comfortable to earn as much as we want.

As much as I admire your optimism, just to put things into perspective. It took many of the actual winners (think Amazon, Intel and so on) from the dotcom bubble up to seven years before they recovered and some still haven't recovered to this day (a recovery defined as reached its previous high which would be considered the point of the bubble deflation).

With that in mind, although it doesn't necessarily mean the same thing will happen for cryptos, but it is possible that once the bubble bursts, it might take as much as half a decade before things are actually back to where they once were (the upside is that, once recovered, none would likely rate it a bubble anymore)

I don't think it will burst soon or it will start decreasing or end up like he'll. I think the new era of crypto currency has just started and it cannot stopped now by anyone I think cryptocurrency is now a truth that no one can deny so I think the only way is to adopt there is no option  other than it.

Bitcoin is not a bubble, it is the next big thing after refrigerator, cars, telephone, internet and so on. Blockchain is the future.

I don’t think so that the company if bitcoin is just like a big bubble that is ready to burst anytime. Bitcoin always innovate their managements and has a efficient and effective strategic plans in all aspects. In order to become successful they always ready in all kinds of circumstances which I think the company of bitcoin has

There's a large demand for Bitcoin, the price is not going to zero anytime soon. It's not a the end of Bitcoin.

Don't believe rumors so this is the result about their campaign and advertisement through medias that bitcoin is a bubble and it will burst soon. It went as low as $12,300 and now it's back at $13,900 that quick. Don't listen to those rumors, bitcoin is not a big bubble but it is a big crypto so they thrive to do anything they can to buy at dip and their plan succeeded.

I agree bro, bitcoin is so unpredictable even the experts on this kind of job has no idea when to go up and down. Negative rumors in bitcoin will give impact to its reason to fall but somehow it will back to its stabilized value. As of this moment bitcoin is on its momentum to its stabilized value but users and investors aiming and hoping that bitcoin will increased to gain more profit that will totally love by many. I don't believed that bitcoin is like a bubble that can burst anytime but I believed on its potential to increase as the dominant crypto currency that lives in the cyberworld.

I dont think we are in a bubble persay, but I do think that bitcoin is over evaluated and I think the market in general is as well. So I was surprised to see a lot of coins making back the losses of yesterday. I was almost sure we would be in a red slide for at least a week.

Yeah, just look how 'sick' and rife with problems the US$ has but if one were to pick a currency to get paid in, most would still pick it.   (Euro for me, but only because by and large, most of my bank accounts are US$ already).  

Each and everyone of us has different perspective on our own opinion. On my opinion, I didn't believed that bitcoin is a bubble and it will burst anytime. Well, as far as I know the inside of the bubble is air that can burst because of too much pressure. Why so people relying on things which is so non sense. If you try to analyze bitcoin has a value that represents by number, a number van we say its infinity so in that case I don't think if they can think bitcoin is a bubble. Bitcoin proven many years ago that survived from all ups and downs and I believed it will never be burst, I would say it will decreased from time to time but it will back to its stabilized value.

Yes of course, a few days ago bitcoin prices had touched 18 thousand US Dollar but as we know for now bitcoin prices have dropped dramatically. Bitcoin is the trend, the more people who invest in it the bitcoin selling value will be higher but when it reaches the highest selling price they are the beginner investors think to sell their bitcion and when many beginner investors sell their bitcoin maat bitcoin value will drop . That is the law of commerce.

Of course, bitcoin has a bubble. You know, everyone has different definitions of bubbles. I think from the development of the encrypted money and the maturity of the community, now bitcoin is far from the big bubble. Maybe this time, the investors are early investors.

Bitcoin really has recently begun to behave like a financial bubble, having increased in a short time in its value from 10,000 to almost 20,000 dollars. The property bitkoyna as a bubble manifested itself in the fact that it grew only due to the speculative increase in demand for it, and not by increasing its intrinsic value. Moreover, at this time, its shortcomings became apparent, such as the great slowness of transactions and the high cost of commissions in carrying them out. However, we can not say that the bubble bottle threatened to burst in the near future. He still had rather strong internal reserves. The fall in its value to almost 13,000 dollars as a whole will positively affect both the bitcoin itself and the state of crypto-currency in general.

I don’t think that the bitcoins is just like a big bubble wherein anytime soon will explode.
The company and management of bitcoin is a company who always promote innovation in all circumstances in order to provide or render a good quality service and I think it is impossible to happen with them.

many millionaires, companies , educated and non educated people start investing in bitcoin.
 bitcoin move to be more stronger that bubble.

I agree that bitcoin is a bubble but it will never burst. The shining star of cryptocurrency would always be in lime light and it's popularity would never fades. BTC being a asset for planet has gained attention of millions of people and millions of investing into it and everyone is enjoying a profit.moreover it's user anonymity has made people to invest into BTC. So due to all these factors this bubble would never burst and will continue to float on the top of the sea ever.

Bitcoin is now officially the biggest financial bubble in world history, surpassing the infamous episode of tulip mania in Holland in the early 1600s.

When bitcoin sharply increases in price only due to the speculative increase in demand for it, it behaves really like a financial bubble. However, the confidence potential to bitcoin is huge and therefore bitcoin will continue to grow and not explode for a long time. It will dramatically depreciate if most people refuse to use bitcoin. I think that if it ever happens, it will not be soon.

A lot of financial analyst have said that bitcoins are like bubbles. If it gets big enough, it will pop. The thing is, some other people also said that bitcoins are too big to fail. The community backs this up and by saying a lot of supporters has bitcoins by the roots. My thought however is with the later. Bitcoins ARE too big to fail because of the overwhelming support of its community.

In my opinion, Bitcoin will bounce back even though it is difficult to predict, but many novice investors are panicking and vanishing if things get more difficult ...

In my opinion BTC is a bubble which would never burst. BTC is an asset tat the future generations is going to use and millions of people are investing into BTC instead of buying gold and they are saving BTC so that their children can have better life and now guess if millions are investing into BTC and taking such a great risk ,how this bubble could be burst and moreover the inflating valuation signifies everything.

 its been a huge question ever since.. but why wait for the bubble to burst? make the most out of it before it burst

Currency largely lives and dies on trust, if the biggest whales lose trust in a certain currency then it will die even if it is a fiat one like USD, EUD, JPY or whatever

Let the speculation of others live that way. It's their opinion and they are free to speculate according to their beliefs and understanding. My speculation is different from them too since i believe that bitcoin is just starting to take off anytime soon and will break it's previous record of market price last december when it hits 20,000$ mark.

This Bitcoin Bubble rumours are surfacing on internet right from bitcoin is 1000 dollars and day by day price is increasing but nt decreasing so bitcoin is in real value but nt bubble

Absolutely, addressing bitcoin is a big bubble is not anymore a threat for the bitcoiners and users in fact they are more positive in getting the high value because the more bad speculation will spread the more bitcoin value will do just like 2017 increases into 20K usd.

“No one who has replied in this post will be alive during those years.”

My exact freakin thoughts when I read the comment, also where did he get that number

For now, no one knows. Both sides make compelling arguments. Definitely it's showing sign of being a bubble but unlike bubbles in history that burst, bitcoin is still a new technology. It's still developing and growing. Right now it's seen as a stock or an investment. Once they fix the slow confirmation problems, and transactions in Bitcoin becomes faster, people would start using it as a currency. When BTC comes to that level, i think it would be safe to assume that it's not just a bubble that's about to burst.

for my analyzation bitcoin will explode as soon as possible it is like a Bible that is ready to burst anytime, and many will be happy when it's happen especially the users and investors of bitcoin. If the bitcoin burst many will get rich and richer than they think because bitcoin is so high and it may increase much higher than before, that's why you need to invest now for its not too late.

Too much speculation and theory about bitcoin.
But I agree with you, I'm sure if bitcoin is not a bubble phenomenon, because to achieve this fantastic price bitcoin takes years.
Well, all opportunities can happen, as long as still profitable then we should use it well. Secure your assets. Do not put all the eggs in one basket.

It turned like 9 this year but yeah it’s younger than other fiat currencies which turned 50 or something but still it’s not a complete kid that it was a couple of years ago

Bitcoin will give people who have it the illusion that they can always have wealth once they understand the value of the currency. Bitcoin is the biggest bubble, but no one knows when it will burst.

Yes,maybe or may not be.People keep saying bitcoin bubble will burst soon for so many years like from 2011 when the price of one bitcoin is around $50 but still nothing happened.The price is just bumping and dumping according the the demands for the coins.
No one really knows when the bitcoin will burst maybe in some years or in some centuries so now I am not worrying about it now just make money from the bitcoin is my strategy.

It is really hard to classify Bitcoin as one as even though it has the characteristics of a bubble like it has no fair market value or a basis for its price it can still recover. Unlike any kind of bubble when it burst it won't recover, we have recently saw that when Bitcoin goes down it recovers right back again and it has done it several time. We can say that Bitcoin is a bubble but it can be pop several times and still live.

I like how you make your sentence but I think bitcoin is not just only a bubble it is a bubble where if it pops then that's the end of it. in today's era bitcoin is still in its experimental era where if a bubble pops the satoshi nakomoto company will blew another bubble. I believe that bitcoin has a chance to be the future curency. yes, currently we are at the bumpy road of bitcoin but I'm pretty sure it will also find its own straight path.It might take years but who knows?right?.

Maybe the speculations are true but we cannot predin when it will happens. A big dip down of bitcoin will cause for other investors to sell out their bitcoins and maybe if that happens, bitcoin will continuously goes down and will result for crashing.

I think irrational rapid development will inevitably lead to a large number of bubbles, and all bubbles will burst, now bitcoin has accumulated most of the bubble, so we all become panic.

You can call it whatever you want but what really matters is it's return. At the end of the day you will just see how much profit you have  made from investing in Bitcoin. The market right now is down and this would be the best time in history Bitcoin would be at this price. You can consider it as cheap as dust because i don't think it will ever come back at this price again. A bubble is something which grows more than its actual worth and comes back to it when it bursts. Bitcoin has a worth lot more potential and so it will continue to rise in future giving corrections like these then and there. It is known that majority of these coins are owned by the early investors and they will surely use it to manipulate the market every now and then. The weak hands will loose the money while the HOLDERS will gain profit in future.

People that speak about bitcoin being a bubble don't really understand what is going on. You can call anything and everything a bubble so it really has no meaning at all.

Exploding exploded how?, burst into high prices, or burst into ruins?

of course yes it is just like a big bubble who will be ready to burst anytime, because bitcoin can boom any time and I'm any situation, if many uses it and investing in it it will surely burst.

Yes you can call it a big bubble, :o  It's quite a movement yet adoption of bitcoin are still in the early stages. But there is always a risk, this is the reason why you need to be diversified. Never try to put all your cash in a single investment.

Fear and panick has catch the uninitiate. This is not the first time bitcoins have behaved this way. The only difference is that this time it went to 20000 and came back to 10000. nothing will happen. It will rise back.

I think that no asset or stock which would last for a high price for much longer time could be termed as a bubble and so bitcoin is not a bubble.

Bitcoin is NOT going away. Too much investment, too much potential.

I think it’s a bit expensive and slow in terms of buying something in a certain type of situation, like it’ll never be an option at a McDonald’s drive through for example.

But for eCommerce, heck yeah! And it would only take one big mecrchat to get the ball really rolling, I’m thinking Amazon or Apple should do the trick. If that happened then buying it at $9,000 would look like a bargain.

I just can’t see fiat being the ONLY way to pay 5-10 years from now 

Such a thing is common in bitcoin, because in fact it must be like that. Bubbles will continue to occur while there are still conditions where bitcoin traders are more than bitcoin users, and the bitcoin trader's activity is monotonous (just buy and sell bitcoin), bubbles will form if the assets of investors planted dibitcoin swell due to rising bitcoin prices, and bubbles it will explode when investors withdraw their already profitable capital.

I do not believe bitcoin is fragile, bitcoin only fluctuate in price. At present bitcoin is being accepted by many countries, developing many convenient payment systems, if bitcoin will affect many economies in the world. My guess is that bitcoin will thrive in the future. Bitcoin can replace cash in many countries.

This question has been ask since bitcoin is conceived. But until now the bitcoin bubble as they say has not burst. They are just speculation to create fear among the bitcoin community. Right now bitcoin is rock solid and moving strong.

yes bitcoin is something big bubble that is ready to burst anytime soon. It would surely leave shocked faces worldwide.

In my own pot of view, bitcoin for me is not just a big bubble instead it is a solid big hit that is ready to burst anytime soon.
As for bitcoin have inconsistent pricing, it's price have given a chance to those learners and pioneers. Therefore, a lot of pioneers go each day, anytime soon Bitcoin would surely create a big schock worldwide.

I don't believe this statement since Bitcoin is currently been used by people and businesses. In this way, it will bitcoin grow in the future. There are also btc atm developing and there are countries already accepting bitcoin as a payment.

Strange how this word, "Bubble" pop up with every dip we have in the price. People ignore the global stock market crash and think that it will not have an impact on the Bitcoin price. People should consider the bigger global picture, before they smack talk Bitcoin. ^grrrrrrr^

Keep the "Tulip mania" and the "Bubble" smack talk for the global markets, because they are long overdue for a correction. I predict that some more "blood" will flow on global markets.

i ever make question like this on : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2484936.msg25443528#msg25443528 , and there people said that bitcoin not bubble just the price is volatile like up 20% in a sec and down 20% on another sec
i quote from someone post like this

" According to Wikipedia

"An economic bubble or asset bubble is trade in an asset at a price or price range that strongly exceeds the asset's intrinsic value."

So yes, the major concern of bitcoin being a bubble that went intense recently due to insane increase in bitcoin price is indeed justified. Thus, many are comparing it with the famous .com bubble.

But bitcoin is not a company that can fail. Bitcoin is not centralized that can be controlled or crunched by banks or governments. Bitcoin is providing a completely different outlook to financial landscape. I believe, to measure bitcoin growth using available economic indicators is wrong. Bitcoin is like a revolution that have given people monetary freedom from centralized institution (that a person would never have realized). Bitcoin might not be extensively being used as currency but people are parking their dollars in it to save their money from fiat inflation that we have seen recently in Zimbabwe. So, many have followed!

Bitcoin is certainly not a bubble! "

hope it can give you answer , i think that just correction price and will grow up later

Correct. I will tell you even another thing: those, who state that BTC is a bubble buy Bitcoins themselves. Bitcoin is a strong crypto.

Crash can crash any day any moment at any time so no one is insured there is always a risk.

When there is a dip we always said that bitcoin is a bubble but it is not. It is just a part of the cycle that bitcoin's price will go up and down.

Of course, bitcoin has a bubble. You know, everyone has different definitions of bubbles. I think from the development of coded money and the maturity of the community, now bitcoin is far from the big bubble. Perhaps this time, investors are the original investors.

If they consider it a bubble then i must say it is the bubble of fortune and when it will burst it will also change our fortune at that time.

What I believe about bitcoin is that bitcoin is very sustainable and very trustworthy crypto currency and this is not hypothetical, bitcoin has made its existence since more than a decade and not made its existence but even has reached the sky high and become so successful that it is now superior of all the crypto currencies and because of its potential, it has provided employment to millions of people and helped them finding their jobs and I think foolish are the people who think bitcoin is a bubble that would burst soon or bitcoin is a fraud.

It could be and the few great rises and falls we've been through already over the years could certainly be described as bubbles. Maybe we will see many more bubbles over the next few years as well, but one thing I know is nobody can say for certain whether it will eventually pop for good or not and only time will tell. I hope it doesn't but it's one thing we have to keep in mind.

Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 and now it has been a decade and bitcoin has proved its existence since more than a decade and no wonder that it will further make its existence for coming many decades and by its fate and potential, it has helped millions of people around the world in finding their jobs and abking them to earn their livelihood and I think inspite of all these things, if anyone is calling bitcoin a bubble or a scam, these people are morons and the time will answer them all.
