Will bitcoin crash in 2018?

I don't believe so the overall sentiment is quite bullish on Bitcoin in 2018. It may correct and even lose 30-50% of its value from today but I don't think a crash further than that will happen.

I do not think Bitcoin is a bubble that will burst in 2018. At least  today the futures trader opened their shop for bitcoin.This means that more people will be involved with bitcoin. The future of Bitcoin is bright.

Bitcoin is not all of cryptocurrencies. But anyway to answer your question. I think bitcoin may crash but when it does I expect more of a Sharp fall of 30-50% followed by a bear market for a while. I don't suspect some catastrophic collapse.

30 to 50% correction is a crash and if that happened people would stampede to the exits only to find all the exchanges are down and they can't sell their coins for cash.  None of the exchanges can handle a sudden downturn and people will be left holding their coins

I imagine it will plateau at a certain point and hopefully stay there with very small gains. Its only use at the moment is as a store of value. Hopefully the lightening network improves this.

Do you see how big the growth is today in the market of altcoins? Everyone begins to predict a fall at the end of the year. But half hopes that growth will continue for another month. I do not know which of these two hypotheses is true. I'm sitting, I think.

I don't believe that we will see the correction in 2017. The market is very bullish for that. Moreover there are many good news at different projects about the completing of roadmap milestones.

It is possible to guess and argue indefinitely, but as it will be in reality, time will tell. The market is constantly changing (relatively), but bitcoin is currently gaining more popularity.

Crypotocurrency party will not end this year and i pray it will never end

WHat is the definition of crash for you? There might be corrections, but if you look at bitcoin chart after every majot correction and bear season bitcoin comes out even more stronger than before. So hold you btc till it gets to 100,000USD per btc

I think there will be a sharp drop when Bitcoin's rate becomes more than 20,000 and exceeds the psychological mark. And this can happen this year

Why do you believe bitcoin will crash ? If it does crash it will be near the last block mined I think.

seems to be tying up to $ 15000 and for sure we just wait maybe this time is still far away.

I do not think Bitcoin will crash in 2018. But if crashes (whenever that happens) we will have some corrections and will slow the market, but will not be the end if it.

I agree, there is no concrete answer, we can only give forecasts, but no more.

Many expect a correction in the spring of 2018, if I should listen to the views, or HODL?

My thoughts could be that we will continue to see crypto currencies climb more and more want a slice of crypto hence the rapid climb in values of nearly all cryptos. Majority of us are all hodling and a crash of any sort will just blow over.

I think it could even have a 50% drop..but then it will rise up and i will break new records! it already happened more than one time ;)

A very complicated and ambiguous question. I think there may be a strong correction, but I do not think that 2018 will be the end year

A correction is probably expected. We've had such huge gains that I don't think a price drop will hurt the health of Bitcoin at all. It would give us all a chance to buy more Bitcoins at a lower price. It also seems like Bitcoin is due for a drop because it has been very volatile in it's history so far and this last increase seems to have been too fast.

I don't believe that there will be a correction now.... the sentiment is very bullish on Bitcoin in 2018 and also on altcoins as many people will discover them after buying BTC..

May be true or not true! Because bitcoin and altcoin start price verry low! After long times development! Price will be growing up! But I think bitcoin and altcoin need more time to see! It's don't be crash now!

It is very likely that there will be corrections in future just like we have seen in the past.
It is how markets work. When the next big or small correction will come is hard to know.

I do not believe this theory. How could that be if a lot of people are supporting Bitcoin. Bitcoin will crash if most of us will sell our Bitcoins. That could be the end of it. Alt coins I think will pump next year.

I think that for those who bought a crypto currency one day the party will never end. It's a habit to watch the course, buy new coins, sell those that showed good growth. We are all sick people and we will not get off this carousel any time soon. The party continues. After all, the new year 2018 will be the year of altcoins. You did not know?

Till 90% alts will die during 2018 but before that many of them bring investors good profit. The main thing is fix a profit to BTC
