Bitcoin Forum

Due to Ripples recent INSANE bull run, I have been seeing SO many FUD posts about how "Bitcoin is over" "Bitcoin will fail in 2018" and whatever other titles people can construe and conjure up to make people scared or sell off their position. It has been really irritating me so I decided to make a video about it, let me know your thoughts and happy New Year!

Just because ripple gain some bucks and left Ethereum behind in the market cap, We cant predict bitcoin isiver, what bitcoin has to do with ripple gain? Bitcoin's price decrease was the correction of the price and the dumping came due to the holidays, Its quite natural when a currency peaked it price people start selling it and buy other currencies because they ant to make money of it. Thats what they did with the bitcoin.

Fuck all those people who are only looking to make bitcoin die, they all are bank's lovers and that is why they are promoting ripples, what the fuck, why the fuck do they invest in Nipples? LOL

I am tired of that kind of people, why do they invest indirectly in those banks instead of putting all that money on a 100% descentralized system, or in just any other crypto who is not centralized?

Shit man there is no way to fall btc ok . if hold btc then just wait and see btc where it go . btw its a digital currency and its have a price correction too so i f u have any doubt dew to price fall then u can leave it . still i am positive about btc .

I have never heard what others say about bitcoin badness. I think their words are just rubbish. which is not important to listen to. I predict in 2018 bitcoin will grow high.

bitcoin prices down in 2018? I think it's impossible. I see many big invetsors that will contribute well to bitcoin in 2018, does this make bitcoin down? no! do not listen to what people say.
I predict the bitcoin will go up to $ 30000

Bitcoin market always fluctuation.we see that bitcoin some time pump and some time dump.So it's not impossible that bitcoin fall in 2018.Yet bitcoin will highly pump in 2018.

Happy New Year!!
I see otherwise Bitcoin will go up in 2018.
my estimates in 2018 Bitcoin will reach $ 20,000 or more.

it's nonsense and not important. some people want to make bitcoin fall da sore. I think the bitcoin price in 2018 will rise high, and to the moon.

Maybe in january bitcoin keep falling in this big correction, some ppl believes that price can drop to 8k USD.
But i hope that can increase at least to 50k by the end of 2018.

Anyway, 2017 was a very good year for crypto currencies.

It's an unrealistic theory, coz falling down of such strong currency can't happen between 2 juxtaposed instants ( 12/31/17 & 01/01/2018) and - I think - bitcoin price changing is relatively independent of time .
Those who say bitcoin will be replaced by  BCC or ripple, they are just dreaming & are really far from being " brain users"

People want ripple because of its fee but ill rather pick bitcoin for long term hold . Bitcoin from 1k to ATH 20k within 1 year but we can expect more this 2018 maybe it can go up to $100k per btc

I think that's a big mistake, I'll admit that by the end of 2017 bitcoin down, lose some trust and it's a natural correction. but different in 2018. I'm sure the bitcoin price in 2018 will go up.

In my opinion bitcoin does not fall in the year 2018 even bitcoin will continue to increase this year, because of course with the growing investor and users of the increasing bitcoin will be the best in crypto.

No other way for bitcoin but to go up. Bitcoin will soar higher this year and you have to believe on that. People will buy back and make good money with bitcoin.

It literally can happen anytime because of the decentralized market and the many factors. I would surely fall at some point in 2018 but I am also 100% sure that it will recover just like how it happened in the past years. For many times I thought bitcoin would really fall but it is part of its growth and this is just the beginning.

Looking at previous years I think it's a wise choice to predict Bitcoin falling. It's always fell and then a few months later shoots back up. I think the current price is a blimp though due to the bitcoin cash/gold hype that we had this year.

No, I don't think that bitcoin will fall in 2018 but contraty, we will see a high increase of bitcoin price, the same for a lot of known cryptocurrencies, this year will be so great for bitcoin and a lot of people will enrol this big community, so automatically the price will go on.

Negative peoples are appearing in bitcoin. They turn out to be so bothered but all they've seeing is just the value of the bitcoin. In the long run of bitcoin it is the worth is usual to be turbulent, meaning its ups and downs are just common. So either if it falls then it will rise again. We may not know when but expect that its increase is a big jump on its value.

hey guys never think that bitcoin will fall in 2018 because this year was the year of bitcoin.2018 is our year of blessings and all of us will be also become an instant milionare.so come on guys always think positive.

I don't want to watch the video. FUDs that are saying that bitcoin is over are the ones that didn't have bitcoin since before and they are thinking that they will become popular as they say that and they want to pump something new which will make people to get into their boats. They want to people to sell so that they can take advantage of buying if there will be tons of holders that will buy their FUD.

Happy new year too, i don't think bitcoin will fall due to price of ripple is up trend, this data is not enough for bitcoin goes down price of digital coins goes down or up is something normal, it is just fluctuation in the price, even the movement of bitcoin's price more than ripple's price righ now and remember ripple is coin of bank, it is like fiat money, and the price of bitcoin will rise back no many people who gets panics selling , so take easy it is just about the time.

ripple needs more time to increase again and bitcoin is not over and it is starting to increase again. I don't think that bitcoin will fall in 2018 and we will see the bitcoin is rise again. but I admitted that many people scared for this and they decide to sell their bitcoin to avoid losing their money too much. I think some of the people are gain this opportunity from the down of the price because they can buy bitcoin with a low price and they can sell it when it's increases back.

I think in 2018 will be a challenge and the future will be a profitable and promising year.
Thanks

since last couple of months we seeing that bitcoin growing high. so I think bitcoin will rise higher than 2017.

As i know bitcoin will not will fail in 2018 , still there is a growth as it is de centralized system, and more people interested in investing on bitcoin ,there is still growth on that , Since it was year end and it is the correction period , we need to wait further , there is hope that bitcoin price will increase further.

Bitcoin will never fall as the mother of all crypto currencies. If Bitcoin will fall, then altcoins will follow as we can analyse the logic behind. Bitcoin is too big to lose so we better to invest now and hold for a long term investment. Bitcoin have so much when it comes volume and the price is still high. It helps so many people who made their lives better so they still keep on investing or hold. 2018 will be the year for Bitcoin and let's just be patient and wait until the price will increase.

If bitcoin can solve all its problems with the slowness of transactions and the high cost of commission fees, perhaps due to the introduction of the network of lightning, then it will grow fairly quickly in price and by the end of 2018 its cost on average should be 35,000 - 40,000 dollars.
     Ripple itself is not a bad coin, however it is a Trojan horse among the crypto currency, this coin is completely centralized and its quantity is printed at the request of banks. This coin contradicts the basic principles of the crypto currency.

I think, in my own opinion, bitcoin would not fall a considerable amount. It may decrease a couple of hundred to thousand dollars but I doubt it will fall into four digits again. I think the occasions have something to do with the fall, people needing money for christmas and new year. But still I do not think bitcoin will fall so much. I just wish for the fees to decrease so it could help people and the price of the bitcoin itself

Nope, it will never be happen that bitcoin fall in 2018 nor next year till next generation. As what we observed how strong bitcoin in 2017 it is more this year 2018  and up. So bitcoin critics i say to you, your loss

I don't think that's gonna happen. Though we can see that there is a big dip in the graph in the last days of December last year, it is also evident that Bitcoin is slowly fighting back and eventually giving a lift to its market price. Since those big events were already happened, i believe bitcoin will going to rise again and will break again its last highest market value at 20,000$ last year.

There is no likelihood of coming down in Bitcoin 2018. Bitcoin can be seen more fluctuations but will not come too much. Performance from other cryptocurrency will be better.

Definitely no. Bitcoin will go lower than 10k sooner that's for sure because there is a large support in between 10k to 9k lines so, it will take longer for bitcoin to drop and also if bitcoin drops from below 10k, it will be nice for us because we can buy bitcoin at lower prices and in that way we can add more bitcoins and in future if bitcoin price goes up we will have more profit.

Now a days worlds people interested about cryptocurrency & crazy about crypto world, for what reason people interested & creazy about crypto only for bitcoin, bitcoin is the king of crypto world. Here bitcoin one side and all other currency one side, so when altcurrency increase price bitcoin is down. I don't say bitcoin always increase I just want to say next 3years all cryptocurrency increase there price, here fact is profit lavel, if you buy bitcoin you gain your money if you hold it for long time same to all top 10 crypto currency. But profit label difference. 

I don't think that will ever happen. Bitcoin will continue to rise. They have said that a million times already but still bitcoin is here. We're seeing the price drop as merely fluctuation. Its not gonna go lower than 10k for sure. People are investing more in crypto and their entry point will always be bitcoin

People think differently so this could be the time where people thought it would be a good investment with Ripple.
But that doesnt say bitcoin is already over. This week there is no bear for bitcoin. It is just playing with still a good number. We are just used to bitcoin  going up and didnt thought it could also go down all of a sudden.
Now about ripple, behind this could be a bad or a good reason. There could be investors or there could be just people who are pumping it then after a while will take it back.

I dont think so. Bitcoin is making its name through out the world. As long as bitcoin is demanded, bitcoin will continue to build its empire and control other crypto.

Thats true, for the past few years Bitcoin was predicted to fall down since then but highly doubt that it will happen, too many investors, sponsors and even workers had been sacrificing they hardworkds just to see this platform more and more better, and just a continuous drop of its price will never stop us to keep working.

i think the bitcoin rise is possible than bitcoin fall in the 2018 it is good time the investors are investing this currency the supply is less as compared to demand due to which the price is rising and the holds are not using their bitcoin for which they want to make some profit over it. the bitcoin currency system is very strong and it is market valuable currency. The new year is very good for bitcoin improving .

No one knows for sure if bitcoin will rise or fall in 2018, though I think with the "smart money" entering the market, and with such small market capitalizations, the likelihood of a continued bull market in cryptocurrencies is very high.

Because of the dop of btc price seem many holder of btc have a panic selling thats why the price still going down.
Even though the price is dropping the price still high.

No. Bitcoin wont fall. Even there are lots of people or even the government is against it, it will never fall. Its price sometimes drop because of different reasons, but on the succeeding years it will still continue to rise. More will be more interested on it, more will invest, and more will use it. Bad news are just created so that we will stop using or patronizing it. Lets not be affected by this, and keep on trusting bitcoin.

Yes , people used to say tons of badbthing just because bitcoin price drop , we should always remember that without its feature like that this wont be successful cause you know, people who has a little knowledge about it will twnd to believe what other people says.

Don't forget that bitcoin is decentralised, thus against bank system that actually controls financial world.
It's then normal from all banks to be against bitcoin and to predict its fall. Many people think they are right because they are financial specialists, but their point of view is biaised.

I'm very positive about BTC for 2018. Personally I'm sure I'll be making some money. There's no way BTC will die. It will only increase in value as is the trend.

ridiculous, bitcoin will raising up more in 2018, we'll wait and see :D :D :D

Indeed! Just remember when bitcoin valued around $750 on June 2016 and after a year its value was $3200+, it’s really booming high. Even some price fell due to some crackdown but it came back strong. So, for me, bitcoin will not fall in 2018.

I think BTC will not fall lower than 10k $ per 1 BTC. Bitcoin is the main pair traded with other altcoins and also it is like a criptocurrency gold at present.

Bitcoin is a crypto currency with Blockchain technology that is impossible to set the value by institutions, governments, and even their own creators. So it is very clear if the growth of pure Bitcoin values ​​is only influenced by the power of Supply (Supply) and Demand (Demand) only.1 BTC (about IDR 75 Million / 1 BTC), the price is really high for crypto currency. Bitcoin (BTC) has gone up about 490% during 2017, from January 2017 highs $ 1,175 / 1 BTC to October 2017 Highest $ 5,864 / 1 BTC.

A lot of criticism and restrictions aimed at Bitcoin in the third quarter of this year,
Then, is the current price of Bitcoin the highest price and can not be passed again? Of course not, many Predicted Bitcoin Price 2018 already made by experts in the currency market that says Bitcoin prices will continue to soar.

The First Prediction was made by Tom Lee, one of the Wall Street Strategists, the Bitcoin prospect is a promising long-term prospect. Lee wrote a note to clients of Fundstrat Global Advisors that bitcoin prices from early to mid-2018 would reach over $ 6,000. He also predicts that Bitcoin prices will continue to rise up to $ 25,000 by 2022.

He believes that several factors will cause Bitcoin to rise to more than $ 6,000. One of them is the increase in public adoption in the use of Bitcoin as a store of wealth and financial investment by 50%. Lee said "We see Bitcoin succeeded in obtaining an institutional license and improving the transaction platform, so that public adaptability becomes greater."

It is a mere FUD for all I care. Bitcoin still has a long way before it slows down to allow other coins overtake it. It may have issues of delayed transactions and all that but it isn't going to lose steam easily. And who is going to compare ripples with bitcoin? With its billion supply, ripples has a long way to go before hitting the $10 price level let alone $100, or $1k.

It is situational happening when we say bitcoin will fall in 2018. But we can say that bitcoin will fall in terms of price but it will also rise again.

I am absolutely sure that the bitcoin not just hasn't reached a limit and that the most interesting and unexpected waits for us ahead. Everything only begins. The popularity of bitcoin grows every day. Including thanking also to negative news. The one who trusts in the collapse of bitcoin obviously badly understands this subject. Only not in 2018.

Bitcoin Will Never Die

I am different from your opinion, I see a lot of news about bitcoin will continue to rise, even news in my country bitcoin will reach price $ 60,000, I am not able to see bitcoin should fall in 2018

Maybe bitcoin will not fall because it already has the favor of all bitcoiners.

If lightning network go live BTC will continue his rise. And I´m sure that we will se the lightning network in Q2 or Q3.

Bitcoin will fail in 2018, I think it's the words of people who do not like bitcoin. In 2018 bitcoin will not die, but bitcoin will rise higher in price.

I dont think so. Bitcoin falls but rises again. Maybe there are chances that there is price correction but let us just trust its worth. Other coins may be unvaluable but for bitcoin it is impossible.

Don't listen to fuds, ignore them all and you will be fine.
Bitcoin is here to stay but I guess hatters will always hate.
Nice video  ;)

If we can see today's market and its growing popularities i don't see its dull feature in terms of price in near future. even if it falls from its current price it will bounce back and justify its value again.

I think because of the many issues that declare bitcoin will fail in the near future cause many people will panic so people will doubt with bitcoin and immediately to sell it whatever happens.
while on the other side of the ripple is on the rise,

Why are some here always saying or asking that bitcoin will fall blah blah blah? Bitcoin is the first ever digital currencies and its like the core. If bitcoin dies, so other or all coins will too. If bitcoin's price fell in the last months of the year, for me I predict that it will reach a new ATH and will increasing every single day.

Can Bitcoin fall in 2018? This, I think, depends a lot on the investors, if they are Bitcoin followers, they do not give up investing in Bitcoin, whether it's up or down, because Bitcoin's true believers believe Bitcoin will not fall down and make them frustrated

It will fall but it will not vanish. I mean if falling, you mean the prizes, then i think thats ok. But if falling as in their will be lawsuits against its users, then i think that will not happen. Their are many big whales invested in btc so even if someone is brave enough to make a case against bitcoin, these btc millionaires can just easily make adjustment for it. Declaration is one of the main issue of bitcoin but i could that their are many ways to make btc declaration legal.

I agree. Although altcoins, have their effects on how the market plays, it doesn't have that much profound effects on bitcoin. As much as there are increasing in cap and value pumps happening with some major altcoins in the market, it doesn't suggest or lead that bitcoin will fall because bitcoin still commands the highest value amongst all coins in the market. Also, bitcoin is still the most recognized cryptocurrency around that can't be easily trampled with by any other altcoin even if they are the strong altcoins so to speak.

I don't see any reason to fall this 2018. Yes the price recently dropped from $20k to $13k now but it is not a good reason for the fall of Bitcoin. There was just a price correction. Altcoins are now booming but I think it is because the cryptomarket is also becoming popular. It is not because people are switching from Bitcoin to altcoins. Bitcoin and altcoins will both be a great investment this year. :)

no bitcoin will fall but there's a limit depends of demand from the market which is a big help also for the valued of bitcoin to increase and decrease  just like other currency.  However we need to wait cause for sure the price will rise again but it takes a long time i think.    

Bitcoin will not truly fall on its own. It will fall little and will come back again. We all know the stability of it, no one could ever tell about it. Ignore some false fuds around them, it's just the hype that created by the ripple.

Bitcoin fall and it always will because that is it's nature in the first place...it fluctuates from time to time...sometimes it experience sudden increase sometimes sudden decrease in value but never will bitcoin fall without any revenge because bitcoin will remain the top crypto currency and the moment it will die be also the moment crypto currencies will also dies

I do not believe now yr 2018 will fall. other altcoin I believe its price is high. im not a fan of ripple, ripple is like a bank if you read the description of ripple this is centralized powered by bank. Bitcoin is the opposite of the bank.

Ripple is nothing. Its just an by Bank createt Coin who is useless. The Ripple Network dont need the Coin for the technology they want to use. SO maybe the price of ripple is rising, but its just hyped right now. Theres no value behind. Dont forget to get out before the big dump is coming!

We will see how many governments want to regulate it. Anyway I think in q1 an q2 it will jump to record value.

Ripple can't replace Bitcoin, many crypto users believe that ripple is a centralized coin and they will never use it.
Bitcoin market cap is currently 2.5 more than ripple market cap, besides Ethereum is rising again and soon it will take the second place.
Don't listen to those trying to boost Ripple, they did the same with BCH and they failed.

there may be a decline in prices and could also be an increase depending on what happened in 2018
logically if investors continue to grow I'm sure bitcoin will rise this year

I think that there will be a correction but after that Bitcoin will rise again, I expect 50k$ by end of the year

 I think bitcoin will not fall in year 2018.Many investor said that the bitcoin has big potential in year 2018.And its normal that bitcoin fall but in a certain days or a time only then it will rise than what you expect. hope that you see in the youtube is false LOL!!! because many will be sad and cry if that happen..

Agreed! its price fluctuate, no doubt! But it doesn't mean it will be on the grounds in 2018 or anytime soon. It's price will stabilize probably in this year or maybe next year. But BTC won't fall completely, it was made for something big. 

I began to fear seeing bitcoin prices slowly falling. I really hope bitcoin will continue to increase in 2018 but at the moment bitcoin has not experienced price increases.

I expect that bitcoins will not fall now. Ups and downs is the nature of the market and it is very tough to say what will the status of bitcoins in future. Numbers of investors are now getting attracted towards bitcoins and lets see what will gonna happen in future.

Just hold your BTC for a little further. Predictions says it will rise and its price will be stable soon.

Definitely a hearsay. Bitcoins can always cope up with the downfall of prices. If anybody can take a little bit of time to study the chart then definitely no one will be able to do panic sellings of their holdings. Bitcoins is not just an ordinary coins. Please not to forget that bitcoins is the mother of all coins, come on.

Absolutely no!!
The price will go up in 2018 to 50,000$.
The future is bitcoin!!

I think the main problems have already been overcome by bitcoin and now it will grow. so, by the end of the year it will larger than before again in several times

That may be, if bitcoin goes crazy in 2018, then you'll see a crazy drop in bitcoin, depending on how crazy the speculation is.

Bitcoin will need to get it's act together and do something about the insane fees and slow confirmations if it wants to stand a chance this 2018. A few cryptos are gaining on it so they need to act fast.

Btc may fall now but am so sure it will pump up as soon as possible again. No need to panic.

The transaction fees right now are lower compared during holidays and I think bitcoin will bounce back. The year 2018 is just started we have a lot of time to hold more bitcoin, don't panic because the best year is about to come.

i dont think bitcoin will fall in 2018 because lot of people love bitcoin now and they grab the opportunity to earn lot of money. they also use bitcoin now as a payment in some country maybe soon bitcoin price will go up not go down. bitcoin community increase rapidly and bitcoin will also increase because of the demand.

we cant tell anything about future. in 2011 when people believe bitcoin never die but some hack had been take down mtgox and make bitcoin price dump to 200$

No one can tell, but I do hope it does not end in 2018. It is too early to tell that bitcoins will fall in 2018. May be if we heard news about major forks or new competitors or even alt coins getting hyped from whales and millionaires, then we can talk about bitcoin's fall. But as of now, I have no doubts.

Many have actually claimed this countless times. However, up until now, it does not hold water, and it's all but claims. Bitcoin has been a staple in the cryptocurrency market, and it would be really really difficult to take down the giant in any field. Bitcoin is the premiere and pioneer coin that holds the highest value and market cap. It also is the most popular and marketable. So, even if many altcoins are beginning to rise from the ashes, they are yet to reach the potential that bitcoin has reached over the years.

although currently the bitcoin falls in early 2018 but I see in 2018 to the end it will be able to rise high and become a coin with a high price, it is impossible for bitcoin to drop drastically and fall to the lowest point.

Hopefully 2018 will be more successful year for bitcoin. and bitcoin will continue increasing its price in 2018, therefore it will be good if we continue investing money in bitcoin right now.

There are rumours about ripple and bitcoin but I do not think ripple or any other coin can overcome bitcoin int he sooner time. Bitcoin can continue to dominate among other crypto currencies. Even it has been fell lately, it will rise within this year.

Although it is not such an easy job to predict about the price of bitcoin but still i think that bitcoin has too much potential and still people are taking too much interest in bitcoin therefore hopefully its price will continue increasing.

I think it might fall, BTC has gone from having 67% of the market all the way down to 35% of the market in less than a month, obviously this is because people stop putting their money into BTC or because they move their BTC over to ALT's instead.

I dont have any money at all in BTC because I'm afraid it's gonna drop, but this is just my opinion, everyone should make up their own opinions before putting their money into something.

The moment people think bitcoin is going to die is the right moment to buy bitcoin. I personally think bitcoin will continue a slowly decrease of its value in the next months because many people will be scared by LN implementation, and there could a 50% dump and even more, but it doesn't matter, BTC is here to stay through the years, there are really interesting altcoin out there like Ethereum, ADA, Waves, Bitcore, DeepOnion, but I think bitcoin will remain the main store of value in a long term period.

Yes.I don't see bitcoin will probably fall this year.I believe bitcoin has still a lot of potentials to be discover so it will continue to grow and definitely people will continue to benefit it too.Just because we experience dumping today we can already conclude that bitcoin will fall?I think if you really believe in bitcoin,you should go on a positive way of thinking.Instead of losing hope this time,why not grabbing its opportunity to buy cheap bitcoins?Patience is what we need in times like this.

I doubt it since lots of institutional money coming in

Bitcoin collapsed for a reason, but because half of the transactions were hanging on, and the second half began to cost $30 per transaction. He grew in price because he was believed in. And when it became clear that he would not take out so many transactions, he collapsed. And now it is held only by Enthusiasts, who still hope to make money on it or at least get their money back. Bitcoin needs to address issues of channel scalability for transactions.

Forget about the FUDs and all the negative posts about bitcoin because this year 2018 is also going to be great for bitcoin. Bitcoin was in mood for the last few days and even today due to the bitcoin high transaction fee and very slow transaction speed issue, but not for long. The bitcoin "lightning network" is about to be implemented to speed up the bitcoin transaction speed with ZERO transaction fee, how good is that, huh? With the lightning network bitcoin is going to be back on the track running faster than ever. All these guys that are saying bitcoin is dead they should go and hang themselves, then! :P

I think the decline in the Bitcoin price is caused by the long holiday, and people are selling their Bitcoin for their vacation funding, so it affects the Bitcoin price, but I am optimistic that in 2018 Bitcoin price will increase again.

Just like the stock market Bitcoin will drop and then go up, this also happens in fiat. Good news is it goes up more than it goes down.

I don't think the bitcoin will fall in 2018, it will stable and will rise because is very famous but much investitor could buy altcoin with low fees and who have transactions more fast.

I don't think so, I think bitcoin will still prevail in 2018. The existence of news that dropped bitcoin just for the sake of some people who feel threatened the existence of bitcoin.

no matter how other coin rise, bitcoin will always survive and over the moon
bitcoin is so powerful and never gonna end just because other coin climb, rise and pump so hard

nope. Bitcoin price had came back 15k$ and I think it will be recover to 20k$ soon. the question is people will buy more or sell it

Of course! As other people says bitcoin will drop but as days pass by it will rise and survive and will continue to be powerful. Bitcoin has been popular over the social media and i think it would take a lot of time days or long long years before the bitcoin falls. Bitcoin has been a staple in the cryptocurrency market but for now we just have to think positive that it will survive in this year.

Agreed... we will definitely see lower prices at some point in 2018.

But does that mean the sky is falling and Bitcoin is going to enter a secular bear market??  Not anytime soon. That would take a genuine reversal of the entire notion of cryptos. And there is no sign of that happening anytime soon.

It is more of skepticism that haunts the status of bitcoin in 2018. Although, it may be safe to assume that we will be seeing lower prices of bitcoin in 2018 definitely, but there is no sign of bitcoin failing anytime soon.

I think bitcoin never fall it's run it's own power! as a leader of cryptocurrency bitcoin deserve long running, no possibility to fall it in near future!

I do not think bitcoin will fall in the year 2018 even this will continue to increase from time to time because of the increasing number of investors and enthusiasts bitcoin.

we have time to buy bitcoin before the price increase again and this time, I am not sure the price will stop at the highest price yesterday and my feeling, the price will make the new highest price. we have to see the correction price yesterday and although its crash too far, it seems the price now wants to get up again and I think soon the price will break more than $15k and then there is correction again before it increases higher.

I think we could see some price drop from bitcoin in this year but there is nothing new about it ,
I mean it is part of the crypto currencies but I guess it could never really kill the bitcoin,
I just think in this year the price would still continue to grow because of the more investors that would go into bitcoin.

There are so many factors that had affected bitcoin's value to fall over the last few weeks but i don't think ripple's increase in value is one of the factors. I see ripples growth in value as a result of bitcoin's dip and not thr other way around. Bitcoin value affects so many altcoins. As for bitcoin to fall further by this year, well that is uncertain and that is an event that we don't want to see. Though i am hopeful that bitcoin value will rise soon.

No no. Bitcoin will still go up. We can see in the history of bitcoin price, each December the price of bitcoin always down and will up again in the february. So don't afraid bitcoin will not die.

On my own point of view I dont think bitcoin will fall in this year 2018 because as we all can see bitcoin keeps price is more increasing rather than decreasing so I think it will still continue to increase this year and less on decrease.

I think no. On the contrary, this year bitcoin might rise up to 40,000 $. and in 2019 can reach the mark of 100,000 $

this is kind of deceiving or FUD to any one here in the forum, Do you have any proof that bitcoin will fall this 2018. In fact, this is just your speculation only which has no basis.  Besides, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Most likely — NO. Bitcoin is the stable currency so that its price is unlikely to fall for a long time. You can expect a short term drop, but don't panic and run to the exchange to sell the depreciating currency. Not to take into account the popularity of the digital currency would be stupid, when it has already invested trillions. This is one reason why bitcoins are so much interested in not only leading specialists and traders, but also ordinary citizens, who are in search of where in a crisis, you can get huge additional income.

The bitcoin will not fall on 2018.
It will continue to increase its price.
bitcoin still the darling of the cryptocurrency.

basically we cant say what are really may happen what we are able to take for is we just have to predict for it what may really happen so better to have been wait for what are the best and what was been may happen for.

Although bitcoin is not a stable currency because we always see a very big variation in the price of bitcoin. Still bitcoin has too much potential and therefore its price will continue increasing for a long long time, It is now expected that bitcoin price will very soon gain accelerator and will very soon even cross 25000$, in fact still people are interested in buying bitcoin which is increasing the demand of bitcoin and so the supply is decreasing which is causing the increase in the price of bitcoin. I think investment in bitcoin in present time will give really a good profit.

While the whole problem lies in bitcoin, or rather, in resolving the issue with its slowness and high transaction costs. If this problem is solved in the near future by implementing a network of lightning or in some other way, everything will fall into place.
 The delay in solving this problem occurs as if specifically and the bitcoin development team has been idle for a long time. Therefore, the prestige and popularity of bitcoin falls.

Bitcoin up and down, but who cares? Every single time Bitcoin down it will be up even higher later. So the best is to hold.

This is really a big truth that small 2-3 times increase in price of ripple coin after a long term people are insane to be posts and talk about it , but in actual they did surely forget that what they made with bitcoin and how much the bitcoin increases .
As everyone knows that ripple is a banking sector coin and that was surity that banking sector makes lots of transaction of money from.one country to another so they needed for it to use ripple and that was the result that we seen .
Well here we should go with the trend that what the most activity is associated and with which coin and participate and make money with them .

I think it's not that bitcoin prices have dropped yet, but as investors in bitcoin will increase their prices but it will not go down soon when there is no good reason for bitcoin and why it will fall lower but look at it I will lower the price because they prefer the ripple now and ethereum, it is rising and their price rises.

Bitcoin will exist for a long time whether it's completely mined or facing political pressures by the government. The price will eventually come back up, as the price has not faced a staggering fall but a small peak in the lower limits of its' price.

I do believe in your opinion, Even the value of bitcoins might fall down in 2018, It does not mean that it is a bad thing for us because we can still invest on bitcoins while the value is low and we should just think of it as a good thing to earn more profit in the next few months to come.

I’m doing analysis of bitcoin in detail I always compare bitcoin with last year bitcoin have almost nine years and every year is better than last year if we see 2016 so that was also good but 2018 was better than last year bitcoin is always struggling for high position and as a result we can see that now a days no other currency is left in market who’s price is high its only bitcoin who is a king of all currencies now a days so bitcoin is better for everyone.

if quantity people which will be enter in world bitcoin,increase ,then he will not fall the next few years

I recently invested in bitcoin, in my opinion, there are many organizations, corporations, individuals invest in bitcoin and many users. I think the bitcoin will rise sharply in the future, and I hope that in 2018... 8)

Yes, the value will fall, and not only the correction is the cause for it, also the pump and dump and again pump game is very much happening at this high value. Sp yeah, obviously it will fall, but I hope it won't effect the long term investor.

That is unlikely to happen, judging by Lightning network should be implemented in 2018 and the mainstream started to have an attention on Bitcoin, I'm sure this year is a lot more interesting for cryptocurrencies scenes. Don't forget if you look at a bigger picture, Bitcoin has just started the first stage of movement, we can see over the past year Bitcoin is only consolidating and then its break the consolidation period in 2017, So, I believe its really good for Bitcoin in the upcoming years.

It is assumed that the sharp drop on Bitcoin is linked to reduced demand during the holidays and on the negative projections of the experts on the future of this cryptocurrency. As well as the fact that the co-founder of Bitcoin.com sold all of his bitcoins.

But in my opinion this is a temporary phenomenon and in 2018 we will see another big growth of Bitcoin, over 20K$

There is no chance of it bitcoin will be more strong and powerful in 2018 because bitcoin is one the fast growing currency in market and day by day its demand is going high and everyone know that in this year some rich countries and companies are joining bitcoin and if they join bitcoin so there is no doubt that bitcoin will be then unstoppable and it will happen because bitcoin is now very valuable and every one want to be a part of bitcoin.

Alts can be pumped but still bitcoin remains in the top position. Ripple bull run can never beat off bitcoin, recently ripple has overcome ethereum because of that we can see some posts highlighting ripple, actually ripple has made a great upward move but won't near bitcoin because trusted people always stays with bitcoin.

Well, how about those all the forecasts that sounded huge numbers of prices for Bitcoin? How to estimate information about the prospects of $ 50,000 or even $ 150,000 for one Bitcoin? I think that we can see these prices, but only for a short time.

Bitcoin is now holding the most vital position in the world economy, so its price catch everybody fancy. Yep, bitcoin will always survive. Through its notorious volatile, we can keep patient and trust on its price, because if it falls, it can also goes up again and sometimes it gets a leveling out. When I invest btc, I realize that giving a trust on it and keeping patient is better off . Either way, if you are a bitcoin user, you should keep calm and wait for it, it will get an increase again.

When the price of bitcoin was around $1200 the speculation around the forum was focused to see a $5000 mark. When the particular price was reached people started to say that it'll be for a short and soon the price will fall low. Same has taken place with each and every price increase. So, price fall is common and there is nothing to relate to any specific year. Each and every year increase as well decrease has taken place.

As of now there is no sign that bitcoin will start to fall as many speculated that it would fall because of some correction and thier will be a panic in market place and many will dump. But still Bitcoin is on the top among all I've forseen  until 2020 it will still on top because as time goes by it become stronger.

Well  who knows, we don't now if bitcoin will last for a long time but I guess bitcoin will run for a long time as long as we are here and more adoption of people. Many people say that "Bitcoin is dead" and I think the reason is they just want to make an issue or topic. As the time passing by bitcoin will become more powerful.

I can relate to the OP. As the FUD created on Christmas time is really extreme that is cost Bitcoin to go down from 20,000$ to around 12,000$ not only that as the traders are now exploring other options to create their money they have shifted their money to other cryptocurrency available in the market and that is of course Ripple as it has tripled its value in a month at the same time has overtaken Ethereum in terms of market cap.

But as a Trader I am not angry on what is happening to Bitcoin instead I will go to what asset can make my capital grow, right now I  am not using Bitcoin as a currency but as an investment vehicle to earn money.

There will definitely be a massive drop in 2018 due to market corrective forces and the natural cycle of bitcoin but i cant say where it will start or end.

Just because Bitcoin rates weren't as high as people expected at the end of 2017, doesn't mean it will continue all throughout 2018. Let us not forget that one of Bitcoin's most prevalent trait is that it is highly volatile and due to this its rate can be unpredictable with or without any reasons to support it. As of today we could feel a silver lining in Bitcoin rates as it is gradually recovering from the correction it experienced a few weeks ago. This is a good sign that things will be back on track sooner or later. Bitcoin falling for this year is not impossible but what we have to know is that Bitcoin will rise as it always did because it will always come through. We just have to keep our faith in it for it not to be completely diminished.

I do not think there is any sign of it yet. Until recently, bitcoin prices managed to rise little by little. well, basically, bitcoin prices will probably continue to rise, and this year will also provide a high price.

Yeah we probably will see the opposite of a fall this 2018. I don't think btc is going to go below 13-14k now. There's basically no where to go but as things currently stand.

This of course will be but I think that serious reasons for concern will not all remain within the limits of the norm

I don't see bitcoin market value in this 2018 but what I perceive about bitcoin is continue increase in its market value not minding the recent increase in the market value of some altcoin like ripple and many others. The recent upward trend from $13,000 to $17,000 is an indication that bitcoin potential growth in this 2018 is unprecedented. 

I'm not sure if bitcoin fell in the year 2018 even otherwise bitcoin I predicted that growth with the rise of the high price that made many users bitcoin feel happy to see changes happening at bitcoin. hopefully bitcoin's getting steadily increases up to $25 k at the end of this month until the end of this year reached $40

NO. I don't think the bitcoin price will fall in 2018 because of Ripple's growth. I think bitcoin will survive the situation and even grow higher.

I think if bitcoin is fall, I will think that this is the correction price for bitcoin before the price increase back because every time bitcoin price is down, the altcoin increase and make a new price. I don't think that yesterday when bitcoin price is down is because ripple increase but I would consider this as the correction for bitcoin. I think in this year, bitcoin will be more famous and makes the price increases because there will be a big demand from people that want to buy bitcoin but the supply is not equal with the demand and finally the price will increase more.

I agree people continuously said bad things in Bitcoin regardness of the potential that has been given to us, I am very agree with the thing that Bitcoin will increase this year definitely, and we should be all faithful to that thing, cause Bitcoin has the capability to make the amount better than the prior. Workers and social media as well as the imvestors wefe the ones who contribute the Bitcoins price.

Yeah right , I also dont think that bitcoin will fall down just like because there was an altcoin that is continue pumping in the market. Some fall down for bitcoin is just natural. Because of its volatility. The price of it moves ups and down very often. So means that just because bitcoin now has a lower value than usual means its the start of its fall down. Bitcoin already stablish a strong reputation in crypto. And I dont think ripple is one who can destroy it.

Other believer of alts always say that if their coin gained some bucks. This happen before when ethereum gained some bucks and popularity but then btc is still on top them and they haven't beaten it. So the same thing will happen again and the father of crypto, btc won't beat by others not before, not today, even in the future.

Bitcoin price movement in the crypto currency community was so unpredictable, so we never guess when they it raising up or fall down. However we never know if the coin we have are going into deep or not, but we can see it in the future.

This 2018, there's a lot of possibility to happen, in my view bitcoin price are raising up in the range of $40,000 to $50,000, but this is only speculation and no assurance. I suggest to all users to hold and wait for the right time before sell it.

You're right, even today the bitcoin price is still steady, and I think there will be a rapid rise in the months. I do not think that in this year the price of bitcoin will decrease. bitcoin prices will definitely reach the highest price this year.

Even what crypto currency you have if you care it for long period of time you are possible to gain a lot of income. Other than that bitcoin price are increasing trends now and possible to decline later, that's the nature of bitcoin in crypto currency world. However, we need to always review the movement bitcoin and other altcoin in crypto community to simply monitor if they need to pull out our investment or still holding it.

Indeed, bitcoin now is still growing and there's no sign that it will fall this year however, bitcoin is unpredictable, hence there's no one can forsight on what will happen. As the time goes passing by bitcoin price becoming enormous because of increasing demand.

I don't think we'll see such a fall in bitcoin value in this ongoing year. Bitcoin keeps growing with time and last year same time the growth has been taking place in the similar manner and later started to grow little by little. So, now it might be in gain of the adoption to move forward reaching high.

Don't panic with regards to declined of bitcoin value, because I'm sure that this price was not fixed and raising up again after a day. I suggest to more users to hold it for many days because, I'm pretty sure that bitcoin was waiting only the right time before increase again.

Some people are said it will be falling, some people are said it will going more higher, and some people are even do not thinking about it at all.
Well even though it is difficult to predict correctly, I myself still believe that bitcoin price would looks and be in the $20k upwards this year, whether it's in what month to starting, which's clear I'm very confident about that.

Yeah, because this previous we saw already how bitcoin can climb up fast and we are now only in early accumulation stage where whales and big time bitcoin holders were playing and making money over this high and low price. Juydst hold your bitcoins this year is too big for bitcoins.

Since there has not been negative News about BTC (or at least that I know of)
and there doesnt ssem to be a reason for BTC to be falling I think that the Whales
are trying to drive down BTC before they invest so they can make an even bigger profit from BTC.

So I wouldnt panic sell and just patiently wait it out since from the publics view there is no reason for it to go down.

Also I think every other alt coin seems to be kind of tied to BTC's performance so the end of BTC would mean a
big meltdown for altcoins and since I really dont see this happening (at least this year) I dont think that bitcoic is gonna
fall at the end of the year.

At the time btc prices are falling and many alts are seeing downfall like ripple witnessed 13% downfall due to some reasons but the prices are going to recover soon but ots sure when and after that they are not gonna down for long time.There are growth chances ahead but some negativitu can always make some dumps but have faith and give it time and then you will get results.

Why do you think that 2018 will be the year of bitcoins? Instead of bitcoins, I guess that 2018 will focus more on the growth of altcoins in the market. Many altcoins including ripple, ethereum, neo, etc. have been showing good signs of price increase last two weeks ago. If you are thinking of investing short or long-term, try exploring some altcoins in the market, especially ripple (which I heavily recommend).
Personally, I think bitcoin would be a litte more stable this 2018 due to a lot of recent news circulating the media about its legalization and utilization into some countries. There also have been regulations happening in some countries which also play a factor on its price.

Bitcoin is still the king of crypto currencies, while bitcoin may rise and fall severally within a year. At the end of the year though there will be a significant net increase in the value of bitcoin, this has been the case and trend over the years and will continue

I don’t think bitcoin will fall in this year, it’s just the way how market flows and not just all always bitcoin going up because it’s needs also to go down so in that we can take some gains and buy more in low proces

yes it is correct bitcoin was fall in the starting of 2018 because in the 2017 since from last four or five months the price of bitcoin was countinously increased and it go very high price so for attraction of people more towards the bitcoin the price of bitcoin was fall in the starting of 2018 and reached to $10000 but  after one week the price will again rise slowly and it may reach to $14000 but no one sure about the price of bitcoin it may be increase or decrease it depend on the demand of the bitcoin.

And we are still have the hangover of the holidays, people don't even have their first salary of the year now, so lets all wait on how the price will become, there are so many confusing news everywhere and so many dramas. We have the high fees and long transaction time but the developers are finding their way to make the best possible solution, and then the whales will take the waves again and people will be in drama.
The price surge and dumps are only caused by the traders who has many BTC, and of course those who have just 1-100 BTC will be affected. so it is better to long term hold or if you can't take the hit then get out. The thing that we should be worrying right now is how to find solutions on the long transaction time and higher fees.

I wish they would not rely on Ripple too much. As much as i think If someone could just sell their RIPPLE i think it will break the momentum and Bitcoin will be released once again.

The fall should be for one big reason and the big fee per transaction could be a disaster sooner or later.
It is a technical problem , i don't know specifically about what happened.
2018 could be the year where the crash for sure happened because of the fee issue and people looking for the alternative , whether it is ethereum or ripple? Idk just let's see.

we see bitcoin falls in the new year and now bitcoin price stay for a while at this price and will move to higher price soon. but of course, like what we have seen before, the price will always be going to down after it increases and it will happen over and over. I guess this time we will take a big profit from altcoin first and then bitcoin price will increase again. so get prepared when bitcoin price start to increase because we can make a big profit later.

Quite possible. This is a market and it is very difficult to calculate it. Perhaps bitcoin will fall in 2018, but while the price is above $ 10,000 I'm not panicking.

You are using the wrong term mate, calculate is not the best word to describe Bitcoin's economic description. The right term should be 'Speculative', which means the market is unpredictable as there is no flooring or ceiling that makes us guess over and over again if it will go down or up. This puts all of our investment at risk and make other individuals to still doubt with Bitcoin. While being speculative is a bit negative feature of BTC, it is one of the major reason why its value goes higher than most of the analysis and prediction, ala Beast Mode.

Bitcoin's up again at $14,140 today so for those negative speculations that are coming for this 2018. How can you fight against those positive speculations about bitcoin, it's like a leaked that can't be cover. Bitcoin's popularity is increasing and it's hard to stop it. We  will see bitcoin's rise this year instead of fall.

Me too, i am tired of FUD posts, but that is it, most people is being paid for Roger Ver in order to spam this forum with FUD, that is the real reason of why there is a lot of fud, specially on the Bitcoin Discussion board of this forum.

Well you have a point , at this moment there is no sign or reason for Bitcoin to dump due to the good entranxe of this yeae to Bitcoin, but I ask some people of this thinv is true about Bitcoin's fall, they say that for the next two years Bitcoin may fall due to the fact that it is already limitws by now, sad.

I do not think that bitcoin will depreciate in 2018, but by capitalization it can give way to another currency. It can be an etherium or a ripple, or another coin.

The ups and downs are inherent in everyone and bitcoin is no exception if the price falls then it again and it will rise it more than once showed so do not worry and have patience

We saw bitcoin falls in the new year and now bitcoin value remains for a while at this cost and will move to higher price soon. Apparently, similar to what we have seen some time recently, the cost will dependably be going to down after it increments and it will occur again and again. I figure this time we will take a massive benefit from altcoin first and afterward bitcoin cost will rise once more. So get ready when bitcoin cost begins to increment since we can make a significant profit later.

Frankly speaking I really see this year as an end of bitcoin. Bitcoin is now no more a suitable currency due to its scaling issues. So its now just a blown up asset which has been overinflated by people. In such a scenario its obvious that bitcoin will fall. But ofcourse its hard to think of a way in which this will happen.

By seeing the past history and scaling, in this year the price of bitcoin will make a remarkable changes.Now the price of bitcoin is reached it stable value at 14,000$ and the price of bitcoin is started to raise more than a 14,000$.By today itself the price of bitcoin is increased 400$ .So this year will be a remarkable changes in bitcoin growths.

Nowadays most of the people invest in bitcoin. So it will fall. People learn more information for the future invest and future growth, improve business process and finance. Bitcoin will be connect the all country people.  People easy to transactions no mediators in the process. It will threat to connect the one person to others people. So it will to safe to process and transaction. But people will be learn the transaction process. Before transaction. It good to for the future growth.

Bitcoin prices will not reduce to low value in this year.Now many start to inverse in bitcoin and bitcoin popularity  is keeps on increasing so I don't think the price of bitcoin will fall.

Yes most people invest bitcoin because they can see the good future it has. We can see the bitcoin fall this 2018, yet t will move forward to recover anytime. There is always the time for bitcoin to shine to improve so even it falls it will rise.

I don't think bitcoin will fall this year.. all alts actually are doing great pump and i see to it that all alts are showing off their project movement and development

When you talk of falling prices we probably talking of a corrections which is very normal with cryptocurrencies and this is not something new in the crypto world and 2018 isn’t any different

I don't know BTC will end or again flourish this year but surely year 2018 will be fate decider for BTC and crypto-world. As most of the countries govt are working on BTC and crypto regulation so lets see what 2018 got for BTC.

I've heard that many times and it does not change a thing that bitcoin will again go up and make another all time highs. You should be thankful because without them , we can't get these bitcoin for a cheaper price.

If demand for bitcoin in the coin market slowdown continuously then it will possibly fall. Support for bitcoin is still going high and and its price is projected to reach another level like what happened last year. Some major corrections might usually happen just like last year because of some factors like FUD. The fall of the bitcoin will come from the investors and holders themselves because they the ones that give life to the virtual coin.

I will fall, but not only because we are going to have a bear market, it will fall because we are facing a huge bearish trend that will not be in here for more than a week from now. So just relax, the price will go up, but it will take some time to see it.

perhaps cause more investor nowadays sell their bitcoin and transfer to the altcoin.  That's why the valued of bitcoin on this moment always fluctuating and i think soon  the price will collapse when this circumstances continue after this month.  So we need to accept the fact that bitcoin valued will fall dip again like what happened before because of being not enough demand in the market.

Bitcoin are likely to experience a significant decline in sales in this month due to events occurring in South Korea, and this makes the bitcoin price weak, and investors think that means demand for bitcoin 'will go up'.
Currently, bitcoin is experiencing a significant decline, and holds a price around $13725.90.


Everyone has different preferences and assumptions about bitcoin according to the information they know. And I am up to now, still optimistic with the development of bitcoin. If bitcoin decreases, I think it's a natural thing to happen because that's the nature of the real market.

Well I am thinking the opposite. I do believe that Bitcoin will be more successful this year and its market value will be more expensive this year. Many opportunities are opening up for Bitcoin such as forks which has a high chance of making the market value of Bitcoin to be more expensive as what happened last year.

It will fall but it's not a bubble, because if it collapses then all markets will freeze, there will be no crypto, no trade coins.

The price of Bitcoin is higher 10,000 dollars, I believe in its further growth. Now I'm more determined to buy Bitcoin.

Just like the South Korea issue if this use persist with other countries as well then yes their would be fall in prices and demand for the btc. But if we hear something like the govt is supporting the cypto currencies in few countries this year then we can on other hand see huge potential rise as well.

It is not irritating thing, if bitcoin price up and down then you see that bitcoin still have powerful price. Also only few people feel scared who have no believe on bitcoin and have no information about bitcoin. You will see only within weeks bitcoin price will be rise again and then these people who have scared about bitcoin, then they will again start investment with bitcoin.       

bitcoin drops but not die,and will never be for sure.imagine how dip bitcoin price couple weeks ago but now you can see that it almost $11,000 again and without our notice,this coin will hit $20,000 again.so better watch out guys

Great one mate,maybe they're irritating because bitcoin is the only coins they have,since they only want to make quick money here,not to invest for long.so what must we do is laugh at them and let them feel the bitterness

Bitcoin fall alreADY this year and the worst is it still continue dropping, the price, but its reign will never end since bitcoin is the basis for all other cryptocurrencies that are existing and wish to exist.

Common guys if you know the history of bitcoin price chart you will not panicked. It's a first quarter yet, we will see it in 2nd quarter if may fall or pump. But for me I have faith in bitcoin that it will rise soon.

You are right that the reign will not end but it is not true that it will again drop as now the price is going to a higher value. People are putting their money in bitcoin confidently and they do not afraid by investing huge amount of money even the January fall. It is the thing which we can say that there is a trust in bitcoin and people do not afraid by investing in it and they will continue to do their business with bitcoin.

for now its not possible for now we are in a strong bull run and inside of a nice uptrend channel.
But it cannot rise forever we will see a fall but will be limited fall
