Bitcoin Forum

Hey! :D
 Now I will write for someone a shocking thought. Back in December 2017, I wrote that by 2019 the price of the first coin would be about 100,000 dollars.
However, at that time there was a "bullish" December.
However, and now I confirm my previous forecast - $ 100,000 (+/- 20,000) in 2019 for 1 BTC

Now, let me remind you, the price of a Bitcoin equals "only" 6500

Let this message "stay" here. Only 4 months left.
And what do you think about it?
Thank you!
#Bitcoinprice2019

Well as per my observation there is no one who can give us a confirm forecast. We can speculate and predict only. There are equal chances that someone's prediction may get wrong or right. From last year rise in BTC price, our expectations with BTC has increased. I agree that only BTC has ability to rock the market. But 100K$ is very high, my prediction is 25K$ to 30K$.

Would be nice to see Bitcoin price (https://coincodex.com/crypto/bitcoin/) at that level, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I would be very happy if we get back to December 2017 level again.

Here are an interesting posts about Bitcoin price predictions in 2018 (https://coincodex.com/article/1779/bitcoin-price-predictions-2018/) and Bitcoin price predictions by famous Youtubers in 2018 (https://coincodex.com/article/1867/bitcoin-price-predictions-by-crypto-youtubers/).

Good news for the holders of bitcoin we just have to wait for a few months to have a huge amount of bitcoin. I hope it is true so that many holders of bitcoin will sell their bitcoin. If that happens we all can be rich.

Bitcoin is still too volatile, so it's impossible to predict its future price. We have seen how the bull trend took hold of the market and the price soared rapidly in a short period of time. But we also saw how Bitcoin's course collapsed. What will happen in 4 months - no one knows. I would like to see institutional issues resolved and the bulls once again seized the market, but there are no guarantees.

And I would become a multi millionaire if it happens. So I want it to happen. However, forecasting without any solid proof can be considered as FUD according to many forum members.

May I know the background of this forecast please??

I will be very happy if the price reaches 100,000 dollars! if we look at the growth of bitcoins in the last few years, one can see that its price has been growing exponentially! I also really hope for such a price, we all can make a very big profit!))))

I think everybody wants your forecast to happen..There are so many people who are in despair because of this market situation of the market..This month the market has to start to rise

I think it won't happen although I want it happen really really bad.
As you can see , bitcoin currently struggling and it's keep downtrend on this year 2018.

I think this year gonna be the greatest reduction of bitcoin value since it was born !

$100k prediction is too much because it can happen only in dreams, many experts also predicting these kind of prices but i think bitcoin will touch only $25k and long term holders will get profit in upcoming months. In December 2017 bitcoin price was $20k so now our expectation is more but no one know what will happen in upcoming months.

all may have a prediction as a competition in 2019, whoever is right will bring instructions for the next period

hopefully but we are not whales sir because only whales know all about what and when bitocins hits 100 k usd so for now i believe so i have a faith that bitcoin will reach that soon so i want to hold by bitcoins until bitcoins hit that value and and i also want to get some cryptocurrency because i know that this is worth it.

This forecast seems to be more wishful thinking than anything grounded in reality.

You may be correct in your guess however unlikely it may look right now.  With crypto things rise and fall at the drop of a hat.  I also think this latest bear was price manipulation by governments/banks to get all the tokens they could handle so they are in control during the next rise.  I feel as though the rise will be quick and swift when it happens.  

Nice clickbait dude but we anybody can forecast and predict the price of bitcoin and either of the two, their is always two answers. Either it will happen or it will not.

Anyway if it happens then good for Bitcoin holders. Maybe I will be a millionaire if that happens lols

Exactly it is nothing more than that because all know that our first target should be the 5 digit mark and get stable above it. Even if it reaches last year price high we all will be happy considering the year so far it has being till now.

It is cool to see someone still so optimistic about the price of BTC reaching $100k. I think it is possible but it may not be as soon as it was predicted. 2020 may seem to be the year it'd actualize the price.

It would be better for the ones who are buying BTC right at this moment if that forecast of yours will be true. But what if the opposite happens? Or even the  worst? What if people of the crypto community are tired of waiting for their promised price? What if they sell their large volumes of BTC by the time they see that BTC will fall even harder? I guess we should pack ourselves and be ready with it.

Oh sure.
I wrote an article in Russian. Then - give a couple of days to write an English short version of the times.

If so, I'll just buy more. But, I'm buying out now. I think we will not see more of this (such low prices) in this month.

 I don't think beacuase market is launching new coins which will dominate the BTC market. Also regulation will come in part which will have impact on price of Bitcoin.

I hope that what you say can happen. At the end of 2017, the price of Bitcoin is $ 20k, but at the moment it is only $ 6k6, its price has dropped a lot.I am waiting for good news from EFT Bitcoin at the end of this September and the return of the crypto market. Now is a good time to hold bitcoin.

Bitcoin prices are surplus so it can be assured that prices will increase in 2019. Because Bitcoin is the most popular on the crypto market But it is difficult to say how much it will increase. It can be assumed that it will be less than or equal to 40k.

I believed that the price of Bitcoin will not reach that much because for me the more the Bitcoin will become expensive it will be much expensive to purchase too in which the people who are majority belong to the small time investors will be force to shift to altcoins as much cheaper to purchase  for an investment. Therefore for me the highest bid will be $20,000 in which it will be possible within 4 months from now.

Last year it reached the price at $10,000, I don't think so if this year doubled the price in the year 2017. This speculation is impossible to happen at this early year maybe it takes 3-4 years from now before it is hit the price of 100k USD. But we expected that this month of December bitcoin will be raising up and hopefully even it reach the $50k in the highest price in the market.

Who knows we all don't know the market cap price movement.

On what month of 2019? I believe there are 12 months the last time I looked at the calendar. 8)


2019 is too early in my opinion. Bitcoin will reach 6 figures only after the halving on May, 2020 but not before. Although we might see a new all time high while approaching it.

100k is possible by end of this year. But we must have some existing great news. In December-January last year was a huge bullrun. I hope for such bullrun in this year as well. Same was at the end of 2013 (huge pump).

Well once their is more demand occur bitcoin price can increase this year end. 100k is a big amount if we compare from today a big difference is existing. Hard to forecast if how much by the year of 2019 but hope good swing of price could reflect this year or by 2019.

100 thousands dollars is really possible for 1 bitcoin, but the problem now they need to pump again bitcoin first before expecting that price. They need to reach our goal like back to the bitcoin price to  20k dollars what bitcoin already reached.

I'm quoting the whole OP just for reference.  It's already been quoted multiple times, but who knows who's going to delete what.  I'm going to bookmark this thread.

So you're saying that 1BTC is going to be at least $80,000 ($100k +/- $20k) by January 1st, 2019?  I just want to clarify that, since you said there's 4 months left to your prediction.  If you say "bitcoin is going to be $100,000 in 2019" that could mean by the end of 2019.

Now if you're saying bitcoin is going to be at that level by the end of this year, I think you're nuttier than the septic tank at the Planters factory.  There's no way in hell bitcoin is going that high, that fast.  And if it does, we're in trouble.  Remember when bitcoin shot up to $20k some months ago?  It crashed, and it's still trying to recover.  I don't think any of us should be hoping bitcoin is going to go 5x it's previous all-time high in a matter of 4 months.  Do you not realize how crazy that is?

It's a mad,mad,mad world! Now everything is possible. Large capital has long been in charge of the world economy in manual mode. The laws of Economics do not work in our reality. I believe anything can happen. But the Pharmacist is right that such a rapid rise in prices could trigger an even more rapid fall and collapse.

Nowadays everything is possible. Before the bitcoin pump in 2017, no one would say that the bitcoin climbs to 20000 usd. Many would say that you crazy when you buy bitcoin for 800 usd. The situation has become, and those who have said "impossible" regret today. I estimate bitcoin at a price of 100k usd by the end of 2019 until the beginning of 2020. Bitcoin needs support, trust and new investment incentives. One day when the bitcoin is over 100k usd, there could be payouts for work paid in bitcoin. But that's still a far future.

I wish and only wish that your prediction become true! But as it seems for now it is very difficult to happen something like this. And again, nothing can be said about cryptos !

@OP! please don't disappear in 2019, we will remind you of your prediction.
2019 is only in 6 months and the time goes fast, 6 months is like tomorrow. I can hardly imagine seeing the Bitcoin value at $100k even in my dreams. However, if it really happens I will invite your for some holidays in my new house that I will bough with Bitcoin.
Seriously $100k is too much, with just $15k  is enough to make me happy. But I agree with Wind-furry it's not going to happen before the next halving.

I would also bet my money on the next halvening giving us new refined fuel for the rocket to finally reach 6 figures. But when it comes to 2019, we may still be struggling at current levels. We have many forces trying to keep the price down. A cartel of wall street crooks, government-"backed" derivatives and other weapons are being used to keep the price down. They are slowly accumulating as they have understood Bitcoin cannot be shut down, just like they understood they cannot shut down Bittorrent.

Once their tricks run out of steam, the bull pressure will be too big to contain. By the next halving they may have accumulated enough to let it fly plus their phantom derivative bullshit erodes in effect over time.

It is crucial that everyone owns at least 1 BTC for life (never selling) because peaks are impossible to predict, then if you must sell another percentage. Im sure that a lot of people will sell at $100,000 and get fucked because we'll keep going to $250,000 ish as predicted by Tim Drapper for instance.

We must lose a ton of noobs first so im ready for lower prices. I mean even big figures like Tim Drapper could give up, an that would mark the end of the bear market.

It is really impossible to forecast bitcoin no matter how much knowledge you have on this. The market is so unpredictable that it is tough to say what will happen on the next day. It will really great if your prediction comes out true. I believe bitcoin has that potential.

The moment price steps up to the new ATH middle of $20k to $30k expect for it to drop it's like a swing hell ride from the roller coaster don't expect it to  increase like that for the year 2019 the trend this year is not that much to make the price skyrocket like last year base on the current events so I am not expecting too much from it but that would be awesome if the price just touch $30k or something better.

Forecasting can’t provide us the actual result. By doing forecasting one can predict only. Prediction can be right or wrong as well. If the price goes to 100,000 dollars it would be amazing! It is possible to make it happen as BTC is growing in a very fast pace now. Though, it can’t be said very accurately but hoping that it will reach one day.

Good prediction, I will add that you may hit it with rather - 50k$ deviation. I think bitcoin will take longer time to achieve a 100K$ mark. Everything is kind of hinged on the Bitcoin ETF

I don't think it is possible to &100K by the end of this year. According to financial laws and theories the price will not go high because of the futures issued by the mercantile exchange. We are in a wait and see position now and I think that economics theories could not be wrong. As it is crypto therefore we may see and hope for new practices and things to happen. Bitcoin price to reach $100k maybe a wish but according to economics I don't see it happening in the end of the current year.

Its almost impossible, only less than an entire year to see those prices, man, do you even understand what you are saying? Its more than x13 of the actual price, impossible

It is quite impossible to forecast about the future price of bitcoin. All we can do is to predict the price. But best of luck for your forecast and hope it becomes true. If the price of bitcoin reaches 100k $ in 2019, I will be more than happy.

100k $, seriously!!! I guess it is too much. It might reach 100k in a distant future but never within 2019. But if miracle happens, this will be very happy moment for many of us.

Any sort of bull run in this year seems less and less likely, and to reach $100k we'll need a multi-year long bear market similar to 2016-2017. This can happen after 2020's halvening event, but there's no way it'll happen on this or next year. If you really believe in this, you will only disappoint yourself and the others, learn to look at the market realistically and accept that there are not only ups but also downs, and they can be used as opportunities to buy more instead of something to be scared of.

In the last December when the price has reached 19000 dollar. People were very optimistic and was talking about 100,000 dollar and even higher prices. Many of the people expected the price to just rise.
In that time I believed that even if the price rises to 100000 dollar, it is not supposed to just rise and there will be some corrections too. Now the price is falling. I call it a correction and I think 100000 dollar is still possible.

Forecasts can't be confirmed. But bitcoin has a high possibility to have a good price in 2019. Though 100k USD looks like a insane amount to me. I don't think it will go this far by the next year.

You predictions can be true. But chances are very low to cross 100000 USD. I think it will probably go to 40000-50000 USD. It will happen only if the bull run comes and stays for a long time.

This is an insane prediction. There is no way it can reach from $6k to $100k! That is almost 20 times increase in just 4 months.  This is just absolutely impossible.

Unless, on a fine morning we wake and hear the news that all major countries started approving BTC which is just not possible very very very far from it!

I am also thinking that bitcoin is going to have a huge boost in next year. We have seen that fourth wave has already come. Maybe the fifth wave will be the bull run. I hope it will cross 50k USD in the bullish session.

Quiet unrealistic for me also, because the market moves slowly this year or may the OP is talking its price prediction on December 2019 which I can say is more possible. $100k might be high for us right now but I know we can achieve it in time, but for now we should make first a new all time high so we can confirm this prediction. Bitcoin will survive, it will regain its momentum going up so let's keep on supporting cryptos.

But what are you angry about? Take this as opportunity to accumulate more with the "Wall Street crooks". 8)

We are very lucky to be given this opportunity if what you believe is "them" manipulating the price to be low.


Or more. They might regret holding only "1". Hahaha.


We really want the newbies to be holding on by education, and encourage a deeper understanding about Bitcoin.

Good to see someone optimistic about Bitcoin at least. Last few days the posts in forum have made me sick. People are spreading negativity, frustration and whatnot. Though, I don't think the price will jump so high all of a sudden but I still believe that Bitcoin has a lot more room to grow.

I have never been a fan of forecasting the market as that gives you so much expectation and I see it like someone trying to predict a future they absolutely cannot see or predict. What will happen in 2019 will happen in 2019 and I really do not care since all I am after is following the trends and seeing where it leads. If we get to see almost $100k by 2019, good and well, and if we do not get to see it, good and well too.

It does not sound like something that could not happen, considering how recoveries have always been like over the years, but for now, I guess I may personally just have to stick with the fact that, what would be will be.

OP, I don’t think it’s possible that 1 bitcoin will be worth $100,000 by 2019. It’s only 4 months until 2019 so I don’t see what amazingly positive news could spark another price surge like that.

I’m a long term HODLER though so fuck, I’d love to be wrong.

thinking exactly the same maybe little bit to much and to little time BUT fuck what a nice rally would that be

I think you are a crazy Ukrainian lol

Forecasts are called forecast because these are just predictions and there is a 50-50 chance for it to happen if you consider how highly volatile the market really is. However, I hope your prediction comes true as that would be the best news for the crypto community, though it is looking very unlikely considering the current situation.

it seems that it could happen when bitcoin can no longer be obtained and when the total supply of bitcoin has begun to run low, bitcoin can become very expensive as you expect.

I’m no expert on %’s & chance etc but there is no way it’s a simple 50/50 for bitcoin to reach $100,000 by New Year.

All the holders of BTC actually want this to happen. But the truth is none can confirm this kind of forecast. This market is unpredictable. So let’s see what happens next.

No one knows the future. But for bitcoin to reach $ 100,000 in January 2019. The probability of success is 0.1%. Everyone has the right to predict a price for themselves, Hopefully 4 months later you will become a prophet

Nothing is iron clad here. What you have forecasted may be a prediction that can be somewhere close to it. But it cannot be confirmed with 100% guarantee because the market is very dynamic.

Even expert analysts cannot give confirmation to their own analyzes and forecast. All they can do is assume and hope it will be close to it, their prediction that is. Nothing in this market is for certain, even BTC sometimes faces hardships.

We still wait for you to post in english, but I doubt you can write something spectacular which will support your speculation. I guess that you may count on possible approval of BTC ETF or Bakkt project, but whatever it is in your mind it must be something big. To reach from todays 6000$+ to 100k$ it takes a lot of money, and only large institutional money can affect on price in such a way in such a short time.

I think it's realistic to expect six figures numbers in next 3-5 years, but it should be kept in mind that after any of such big pumps correction is follow. How to increase price of BTC and keep such high values is the real question.

everyone wants bitcoin to explode like last year, I also hope that by the end of this year bitcoin can touch $ 10k very well and your expectations seem too much to reach $ 100k but if it happens it doesn't matter because it will make everyone happy.

It’s not possible for bitcoin to reach $100000 at the year of 2019.I think at the end of this year bitcoin will reach $12000 and at the end of 2019 it will reach $40000.Now wait and see what will happen next.

The one thing that is hard to do is give an accurate forecast or estimation. Because of the characteristic of the market, it is very dynamic. So what you have forecast, could be a bit close to it but not entirely.

Can you elaborate more about how you came up to this prediction?

You you never predict the cryptocurrency market. The market is always unstable. After the long bear market,everyone was thinking that the bull trend will reign in the market. But soon the market faced a momentum again and the price of Bitcoin again started to fall. We cannot really predict the price of Bitcoin till the end of  2019.

He believes in that. Bitcoin community is growing, more people want to be involved, price can rise due high demand anytime. To me this post is nice cause there are people that believe in bitcoin even in times when price is dropping, message should be clear, don`t sell now if you don`t really have to.
To me optimistic predictions are not shocking, everything is possible with bitcoins. This year will be remembered as bad year just cause price in December last year was really high, mostly people think about that drop, but actually good things happen for bitcoin, a lot if you read whats happening, maybe that doesn`t affect price now, but it will in future, so price of 100,000$ for 1 bitcoin in next 16 months is possible.

This is every BTC holder’s dreams. But the market is uncertain. I won’t say it is impossible but I cannot say it’s possible. It is completely unpredictable.

Anything is possible in this market. I'm sure most people from the early days never dreamed bitcoin would ever reach $6,000.  I've seen projects go 100x overnight before, I've seen projects with billion dollar market caps fall to zero (bitconnect).   The crypto world is a roller coaster and there is no reason we wont see new all time highs by the end of this year.

Bitconnect cannot be an example for considering about the downfall for a cryptocurrency, it is like ponzi and we are having cryptos to replace the usage of fiat and definitely not for momentary day to day benefits. Bitcoin is an asset only for the holders and the real usage is equivalent to fiats, nothing more nor nothing less. Again riding of roller coaster is only for recent adopters yet early adopters till late 2016 are still into multifold profits hence how we consider as a roller coaster riding.

I am not saying all these not just to defend you but the fact is, I am also expecting $100k by end of next year and this year a new ATH. I am expecting some big positive news from the wallet street to list bitcoin derivatives still that not the only hope but that will be enough to take to new ATH.

Awesome, I'm HODling at least until 2022 so I should be a millionaire by that time.

Based on? Its really easy to say a price but you probably dont even know what you are saying. You dont explain Why the price is going to raise more than 1000% in give mounths haha. At least other people try to explain their forecast.

yes, I really agree with you because with the current conditions of bitcoin prices and total supply of bitcoin, which is getting depleted, it will make bitcoin very difficult to obtain and finally bitcoin can become very expensive.

Yeee we are going to be rich. I wish it really could happen. The market is start rising. I don’t know it can hit that much but I hope it won’t disappoint us.

Nice to read your forecast. If it really happens investors will be very happy and further they will invest for a long term. Beside that I know bitcoin has that ability to rise like this way. So no way to lose hope.

1% at best.

Bitcoin is based on fluid So it's hard to predict about its price. Anything that can crash in 2019 But analyzing the price list of the past years, it can be seen that Bitcoin prices increase. But I think it could be less than 30k or 40k.

Bitcoin prices are rising but it is difficult to tell how much it will increase. Because Bitcoin is based on liquidity. I think Bitcoin prices will increase a lot in 2019. It can be more than 40k or 50k or less. I think it's time to invest in Bitcoin.

Its always time to invest in BTC

Especially right now that the price are still dump, buying more bitcoin will be profitable.
This forecast is quiet high for me, I just hope for bitcoin to hit the price of $30k this year or even next year. So many big investors believes in this technology so expect the price to go up higher in the coming years.

Wow things are so simple who would have thought!!??



Oh wait, was it really time to invest in mid-December last year?  ::)  :)

Everyone would want to see the price of bitcoin. But it's unlikely that it will happen in 2019. Bitcoin is struggling with the bear market and it does not look like anything will change in the market soon.

I see you write this thread with shame and regret. why did you change the prediction made? I'm not too sure about you, maybe in 2019 you will change your predictions again.

$ 100k in 1 year, well it can be said that it's a prediction that is very difficult to accept, but we all hope that way. but, I think it's still very difficult to reach the $ 100k price, because to be stable at a price of $ 10k I think it's very difficult for now.

This, of course, is a very bold forecast, but I do not think that it is real. After such dramatic events hardly bitkoin for four months will rise to one hundred thousand dollars. I think that investors are not yet ready to invest heavily in bitcoin, especially if it rises in price above 20 000 - 25 000 dollars. For the present, they will be afraid of a repeat of events after December last year.

I think bitcoin price will grow a lot is 2019 but my prediction is that bitcoin will be over 50000$.  Best is to get now bitcoin and hold for long.

you can predict that. As bitcoin become popular and earn the faith of the investors. your expectation can be possible.

I am not sure about the forecast there can be change. The value may be vary it can be up or can down. And I really don't want to predict any more.

Dont know where you do get that basis and you do still believe that we do able to reach that on a short span of time? $100k wont really be that easy to achieved and we should be realistic instead on going on new heights why we shouldnt think up first on how to reach or pass that last ATH on december? Anyone could make their own speculations but we should think up on the recent happening on the market.
We are almost a bearish trend on this year we wont even know if it would able to recover in the end of the year or would continue on next year 2019.

I like the way how your forecast go but that's way too high for bitcoin to reach, IMO and i have to do my own forecast too, i think we have a 30,000$ worth of bitcoin next year. There are only few months left before the end of the year and i can smell too that bitcoin is up for something that will surprise everyone.

Your forecast is really high amount but if this will happen many will excited and happy that btc cross at this price. I think it takes time for $100k to reach for this price. Market is full of surprises so many us high hopes for it to cross the price high.

Yes that can happen again.  Last years when bitcoin price reached to 19k it really surprised the people and this time they are again hoping it that this time may be they will see bitcoin price reach to 30k. I think we should remain calm and confident. Hope very soon we will see bitcoin price reach to 30k and above.

We cannot consider any forecast as final. There is always change expected in bitcoin price. No one in fact know in advance that what will happen to bitcoin, we get the market analysis from the current situation which can chance from time to time.

This is very possible if bank and other big financial institutions will invest into cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in particular.  I don't think we would have problems getting to $100,000 but sustaining it is the major problem as the same people that pump it up will definitely dump it.

So. My thoughts are why I believe that 1 bitcoin will cost 100,000 (+/- 20,000) dollars by 2019.

I will publish a little bit.
1. all the forecasts of professional analysts on the market - are wrong.
If you look at the story - in 2017 no one could even assume that bitcoin by the end of 2017 will reach 19,000.
Usually everyone was talking about 3000-10000 dollars by the end of the year.
The only ones whose predictors should be listened to are analysts of Fundstrat Global Advisors

However, even they do not guess.
The bitcoine rate is $ 36,000 by the end of 2019, the forecast Fundstrat gave in May 2018.

Now we are at the bottom. Yes, we can even go up to $ 5,000 for bitcoin, but do not forget - bitcoin always fell to the bottom after a bubble burst ... and then it grew.

Yes. Exactly. But I did not say that bitcoin should be filled at this level.
First there will be a bubble ... then - a bubble puncture .. again - a new bottom (maybe about 20,000 dollars per coin).

I think bitcoin cycles will grow faster every year ... until stability becomes - a high price with a small offer of a coin.
And in the end, volatility will disappear ...

I understand that your words make sense.
I understand that the market may not be in time to recover. But if growth is, then it will be incredibly fast.
The reason is that investment money is not the money of retail buyers. They will buy everything.
So - to repeat the picture of the HYIP of 2017 ... but multiply it by the difference of the capitals of retail buyers and large investors.

I understand you...
But just listen to yourself ..
In January 2017, the price of bitcoin was $ 1000 ... Did you then believe that bitcoin would grow 19 times?
But then there was clearly a bull market, which began in September 2016 .. now until now, the bottom ... we are waiting for the beginning of the bear market.

Its hard to believe if someone say that the value of bitcoin will hit $100k. We all know here that noone can ever predict the exact value of bitcoin in the future. So i don't understand why there are so many people here that speculate too much.

I will continue.
point 2
Soon, at last, a huge number of institutional investors will enter the crypto-currency market.
I already wrote on the blog. I am sure that CBOE will receive the first positive answer from the SEC
That is why the growth in this year and next year will be faster than in 2016-2017.

point 3

Developing countries receive capital outflows. This will provoke the devaluation of local currencies.
People will look for what to transfer capital with in order to preserve the value of such capital.
For this will be - gold, silver, some resources and .... Bitcoin.

Hi!

The bottom line is that it's enough for people to have at least a share of one bit of money for independence of their finances.

For freedom.

And the fact that the demand for bitcoins will grow, which will lead to an increase in the price of a coin is a fact.

Absolutely agree with you. No one knows EXACTLY. And me too.
But I see how big money goes to the market. And the last drop in prices is a  not failure. This is a large-scale purchase.

It took only a month after you open this thread to actually write on what your speculation is based, and you did not write anything that is not already known - all others speculate about future BTC price on the same assumptions.

Why you are sure that SEC will approve Vaneck Solidx ETF at Sep 30 or Dec 26 or maybe next year? If they rejected ETF at the first deadline, chances are minimal for a positive outcome.

We have now countries which have problems with national currency, but do you think Venezuela, Iran, North Korea or maybe Zimbabwe can make any significant changes in BTC economy? Point 3 is just something which can happen, but it will take a little longer time than a year.

Thank you! Because for many years on the various forums I did not understand how to insert a quote!

I'm going to try now.

Did not work for me. I do not understand how. I found the badge of a typewriter.
I'll watch the video in YouTube, how to do it.

0. I do not have any insider information


But

1.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/coinbase-eyes-etf-help-blackrock-business-insider-report/

The first will, most likely, either cboe or coinbase (You should know who blackrock is)


2. A few more countries may soon add to these countries.
Including Russia, which is waiting for sanctions in November. The owners of Capital will move towards the preservation of capital.

This will also attract attention.

The market is always unstable. After the long bear market,everyone was thinking that the bull trend will reign in the market. But soon the market faced a momentum again and the price of Bitcoin again started to fall. We cannot really predict the price of Bitcoin till the end of  2019.

it can happen if there is good news and can make these investors buy the existing bitcoin and spend the total available supply, but you also have to know a lot of people who have a lot of bitcoin and you should be able to be careful with people like that because it can make the price of bitcoin collapse.

By the new year, there can not be bitcoin prices of $ 100,000, nor $ 50,000, and most likely even $ 20,000. Investors are now too frightened by the previous sharp drop in the bitcoin rate just before the previous year, and therefore will be wary of investing big money in the last months of this year. I still allow growth of between 13,000 - 18,000 dollars.

I also very much hope that the price of Bitcoin can rise rapidly, the higher the better, because the altcoin can be driven together, but the current market shape is not optimistic!

These forecast make me laugh hard but also gave me a bit of pain inside. Forget all these ambitious prediction because the only thing that can save is those damn ETFs but the SEC are too dumb and they won't approved a single one or just postpone it just for a change.

Most people agree that BTC ETF will be approved at one point, but the question is how long it will take for that. Coinbase is just testing waters in this domain by asking guidance from BlackRock, and they have in plan to maybe try with multiple cryptocurrencies ETF. That is something which will be much harder to accept by SEC if they have such "problem" with BTC. You should also know that from application to the point that such ETF actually start operating may take more then a year, and this is in case it is approved.

Russia is long time under sanctions, but they have strong connections with some large countries such as China which is their top export country, almost as Netherlands and Germany. They will always find a way to avoid sanctions, but I doubt they main focus will be on BTC - maybe they will try with CryptoRuble.

lol really ? how did you confirm it op?  are you a fortune teller or maybe you are a time traveller ?  anyway , imo i dont believe that 1 btc will reach 100k usd within 1 year because if we look at the value of bitcoin right now , 1 bitcoin is only 6k usd and we arent even reach the 1/4 of 100k usd .  thats why i dont believe on your predictions even if we say that you are really legit .

100k is too big enough though i know that it is possible to happen , maybe if all of the remaining bitcoins are all mined out . then we need another few years for the adoption to become widespread .

It seems to me that $ 100,000 for 1 BTC in 2019 is almost impossible ! I think that most likely bitcoin will be able to take this psychological mark not earlier than 2020-2021. But on the other hand, this market is unpredictable and at any moment everything can change abruptly friends.

Glad for you that are sure for something so complicated

This is really unbelievable to achieve 100k US dollar by 2019 and this may not happen because expert opinion is something else and your forecast is something else. We can clearly say that experts are right about the future price and bitcoin can achieve price high than 30k US dollar only due to its price movement it is a relevant prediction. However we have always uncertain predictions with the actual value but your forecast is totally irrelevant.

This is quite unlikely, if you made this prediction for the end of 2019 then you'll have a better chance for your prediction to become true and even then I will consider that price to be simply too high, but since you are making this prediction apparently for the beginning of 2019 then that makes this prediction exponentially more difficult to be fulfilled.

John McAfee on this forum, who knew.    Well welcome but I would suggest accuracy to any target is added by multiple perspectives.    Just trying to call out a price by a singular estimation is too prone to self bias and hopes.   Sure anything is possible and 100k is still feasible some point in future however I think its unlikely nearterm.

My reasoning would be to refer to the wider distribution of value across the world.   For greater accuracy I think we should look at both sides to the equation that we call price, that is US Dollars, we have to consider this worth when comparing it to BTC price.    

So I do think this 100k estimate it wrong any time for this decade because US dollar nowhere near to the end game melt down situation that would precipitate such a large change from the current sub 10k action.    Obviously I dont mind being wrong on this exactly and I do think US dollar has problems but not near term, I dont hear the news or market apprehension that is required for a much lower US dollar value.

When $ is weaker, you will have your price appreciation in many assets and prices that are traded on all markets.  This iis a very likely scenario but its not happening this year or next, not that I can see in any reasonable view

By the new year, bitcoin can not rise in its price to one hundred thousand dollars. This is absolutely not realistic. There are no objective reasons that would make bitcoin so sharply again rise in price. Such a demand for it under the current situation, when it is on the contrary, has lost some of its popularity, is impossible. While it is even impossible to raise it to its former positions - $ 20,000. Now investors will be very cautious in investing their money in bitcoin.

I support the forecast.
Probably a couple of months later the event will take place.

I don't believe anyone's predictions because they are discussing data, but the cryptocurrency market is not determined by data, but by money (purchasing power).

The clock is ticking on this prediction, there is just over 2 months left of this year and it would have to undergo some type of massive pump to go anywhere near that figure. I would say good luck, but I think we're looking at one zero less i.e. 10k

$100k isn't an impossible dream at all, actually it's extremely likely - but not in 2019, more like 2021.

Nobody can predict, sometimes predictions also miss, because this price is always changing, it's not solved.
Sometimes predictions cannot be a reference for price certainty, because of course it will not become a reality in accordance with expectations.

it seems like everyone here also supports that silly prediction, as well as me. now the price of bitcoin is in the range of $ 6500, it needs a very strong boost to reach $ 100k. Does this make sense? too naive if you say "yes"

100,000 dollars price of the bitcoin in the year of 2019 is still good and dream to come true price for the bitcoin. But maybe it will not happem in a short period time need a lot of years and many challenges before it happen because for sure once bitcoin up again a lot of people sell again their bitcoin and start dump again.

That's way far from anyone's prediction or speculation for this year because i do believe that it's impossible for bitcoin to reach that height yet. Even reaching back to where it was last December is very unlikely to happen again this year.

The chance of BTC going down to $1k  is lot higher than it to be $100k by end of the year ;D ;D 

Whoever was predicting this probably predicted This on December 2017!

I think that's a very high market value to reach and what bitcoin needs now is to break tough resistances before this year ends. Even if that will be a very good sign that bitcoin is coming back again, well i don't think it can hit 100,000$ this coming 2019.

Who wouldn't want to see such price but let's be real. We haven't recovered yet and you're saying that in 2019 price will skyrocket to $100k just like that. That needs so much of hype before it will going happen. I'll be happy if we go back to atleast $10k next year and not gonna dream of such nearly impossible bounce.

I feel skeptical about that price you mention for bitcoin next year because bitcoin has really difficulties of rising back again. Until now, it didn't progress and threatens to break the 7,000$ resistance. So my prediction is that it can't reach 100,000$ next year.

Bitcoin coin price as of now it seems stabilizing and moving slowly but  surely in my expectations it would take time to reach expectations, but next year will be the bullish  time and reaches 100K usd.

I don't think bitcoin will reach 100k$ in 2019, in my opinion this value and over will be reached in 2020, but i think we can reach over 30k$ in 2019. As we see the bitcoin still not grow so much from the time this thread was opened by OP. All we can do is to get more bitcoin and hold until we need cash money or hold until grow enough.

It is very possible we can still have a bull run that can push bitcoin to $100,000 and at the same time bitcoin can still go down more.  We can only speculate and forecast but we can not really say when this will be but time will tell. Bitcoin will be better next years than this year.  We should not expect too much from the remaining time we have this year but I seriously believe that next year will be better,  however,  I doubt if next year bitcoin will hit $100,000.

Nah, $100k will be in 2020. 2019 will be the slow buildup back to ATHs, 2020 will be the boom to 6 digits, and likely the start of the next crash by end of 2020.

It's nice to hear bitcoin prices grow through $ 100k / BTC in 2019. But I doubt, that value will be realized in 2019 because nothing is underlying. Even for $ 50k / BTC, I still doubt. Even though this doubt permeated my mind but I still hope the price of bitcoin can grow as fast as possible.

the $ 100k price may be very high for now, and for 2019. well, maybe the price of bitcoin will rise, but I don't feel that the price of bitcoin will reach that price. most likely, if bitcoin develops, in 2019, the price of bitcoin will stabilize at a price of $ 15k. Well, don't expect the price to be high, because I think $ 15k is also very high.

The current market is in a difficult time, Bitcoin can't grow fast because of the new pump, it seems difficult to break through $9000 now.

This is a shocking forecast for me as this can lead people to buy more bitcoin and wait until 2019 with a huge profits in just a short period of holding bitcoin. Although it's unpredictable market but if this will make a rally to reach at $20k I'm happy to see the price of bitcoin at that level. This could be a relief to those holders who bought bitcoin at the peak of the rally last year.

You will have more chances of hitting your prediction if instead of predicting that price for the first day of 2019 you predicted that price at the end of the year of 2019 instead, but even in that instance I will still think for that price to be incredibly difficult to reach but if it happens I cannot complain since that will definitely help me reach my goals.

Bitcoin price really struggling if in case their is a change of price before year ends many of us could have profit. No one knows what is the price by then but hopefully we will see the increase of price. Year 2019 let’s observe if it will reach the price.

Hopefully your forecast will hit the target this coming 2019 because i really doubt it can ever reach 50,000$. If that's going to happen, then i can already be rich if i have 1 bitcoin in my wallet. :)

Yes that is right every person want to see that price in near future but I think that we need to become a little realistic, in fact bitcoin price is currently trading below 7000$ and we have only 2 months to go in 2018 therefore its look like very difficult for the bitcoin price to reach to 20k in very beginning of 2019 may be in mid of 2019 we will reach to that point easily.

I totally disagree with this. The price will never reach to $100k. it is very huge price and some people just speculate in the air against the facts. I can also predict that the price will reach to $500k in the next 10 years. Will anybody believe it? it is totally nonsense. Who will buy bitcoin on this price and why? If there is a little bit dip in the price it will ruin investors.

If we still equal BTC to $$$, that's not the spirit of the blockchain. $$$ is issued by the government, while BTC is issued by the crypto world in which every miner try to secure its safety.

There is no reason to map BTC to $$$, there is no price for BTC.

I would propose another price to BTC, 1 BTC = how many pieces of bread. Since food is the basic needs for human, and it's the essential part for lives rather than gold or $$$.

There is only 2 months left before the year ends. It is getting interesting if bitcoin can really bounce back to its previous ath and make another records or at least in the minimum $15,000 area.

I guess it's very tough to reach even 15k this year as compared to market situation. Stability has been hidden in CMC. Well I was wondering like it will start pumping from October slowly and gear up in December. But only 3days left in this month and story is in the Same direction. However it has to change its standard and come back strongly. Believing for a miracle in cryptocurrency.

don't expect too high this year, it's impossible for bitcoin prices to return to $ 15k - $ 20k this year. now the price of bitcoin is still stable at a price of $ 6500 and there is no sign of going up high.

It would be nice is bitcoin's price reach up to $100k next year, but I doubt it's going to happen. Not even by the end of 2019. To be honest $20k seems more possible right now, but not $100k. We can keep dreaming, though.

What drugs are you on expecting $15k+ in the next 2 months?! Next bull run starts 2020 or 2021. Until then it will be a miracle to maintain $6k.

Yeah it is a dream and will dream forever because nothing is happening like that. We are waiting for $10k for long time and the price is not crossing $7k. Lot of investors lost their money due to this fall and now they are afraid to invest more because of the fair of losing again. If there is any guarantee that the price will reach to $20k in the next year, I will sell everything to buy bitcoin.

The market isnt driven by people who buy at the top, they are a minority of trades done over time.    I think the price between 1k and 10k is far more populated by people who have gained BTC over time near these prices.    Also the miners themselves are priced in around 6000 if I remember right as this is roughly in the region of where the costs and transaction fees they gain are.


Yea I agree with you and USA dollars is only one country.   Sure its a significant country but also we can say its a minority not a deciding factor for the world trade or even currency.   That reality is likely to effect dollar and its more accurate to state vs real thing, real costs of normal people not government debts and interest on those debts.

The interest rates are fixed and unilaterally set by government, so having value self determined makes little sense and in fact the dollar loses value as it does not match traded prices over the world properly.
Bread goes off unfortunately, its also unstable and unsuitable for price over time.   THere is Burger index roughly stated as showing inflation of costs, food related.   The obvious choice is gold, it never changes over time and is not subject to a harvest yield etc

More then hope or dreaming of a higher price, in many countries BTC is the more sensible standard then paper money.    The reason thats relevant to dollars or Euro or Yen even is all these countries are badly in debt and possibly going to lose just as much value as Venezuela or the previous famous destroyer of wealth Zimbabwe .   Same for the Russian Rouble, present coin has same name but its a different currency with I think exchange rate of 10,000 to one of the old coins, theres alot more then hope backing BTC as a better idea to hold in quite a few countries.  

I dont know if Russia will repeat, seems they do try to avoid failure but in Japan the collapse of YEN value is certain so far as I've read, I think thats easily discoverable.   The reason being not the people but the government is unable to pay its debt and so the notes issued by BOJ will hard or soft default on repayment, bonds failing but the notes retaining in value is preferable but I think politics will opt to print the paper to pay the bonds and save face.   This leads to people losing more but not if they avoid holding any YEN, BTC is perfectly reasonable cash for online spending in that context imo.    I dont know these failings in FIAT lead to new highs for BTC but its in no way disbarred just because price fell in 2018

If your forecast or prediction will be happen I will be thankful to you but sad to say that it's hard to predict what will be happen in bitcoin price in the next few weeks,months or years. The important right now  the bitcoin is stable and not under the price so we can make profit.

It's tough but possible to happen because this is cryptocurrencies which it has the ability to pump within a short period of time compared to Fiat. There is still less than 2 months remaining and who knows within these time we can see some volatility which everyone is hoping for to he happen.

That's a kind of good "morale-booster" for those who already tired of seeing the market's hands and knees on the ground. If that is going to happen (which i really think unlikely to happen), then that may be the time we can't only see the market standing, but also running.

Hello! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I want to admit that my forecast was not confirmed until the end of 2018. I admit that I was wrong. Although there is still time until the end of 2019.
However, I was right that institutional investors are entering the industry.
I also want to say that such a price reduction only helped me. Constantly buy more crypto assets for my modest incomes.
I wish you Health, Wisdom and Happiness in the New Year!
God bless you!

Dont tie yourself to fixed dates for forecasts, surely the price moving upwards like this would rely on conditions.   The date by itself even if society keeps a regular schedule, I dont see the date (by itself) means anything especially.
 A different way to chart and predict progress would by qualifying a price by events and advancements in usage and utility.

    Thats how I view it, BTC is not going anywhere on a magic carpet; it has mechanics and gears to its progress :p

I hope nobody acted on your shit prediction in August, they would have their fund's value cut in half. As for your renewed prediction for $100k by the end of 2019, you are on crack, dude. MAYBE by end of 2021, but there is zero reason this would happen by the end of 2019. I think $10k is a stretch.

It is very funny to read such predictions about the price of 100 thousand dollars for 1 Bitcoin, perhaps at that time it seemed to many that it is quite likely, but now after 2018 has ended almost catastrophically for the world of cryptocurrency - everyone should understand that this price will be not very soon, perhaps only in a few years.

That's good, because I was going to bump this thread like I said I would when 2019 came around, and here we are.  Bitcoin right now is $3805 per the preev rate.  And man, if you're still predicting roughly $80k by the end of the year....I don't know, man.  We're a hell of a long way away from that right now. 

I'm hoping for the best, but I'd still be willing to bet that you're wrong.  We'd have to hear some seriously good news and have some heavy buying by investors with deep pockets for bitcoin to get anywhere near $80k.  I still have this thread bookmarked, so I'll check in at the end of 2019, k?

It is nothing out of the ordinary to get our predictions wrong in this market since it can move in ways that are difficult to understand, like the huge movement we saw today in which the price went down at an incredible rate, it seems you still predict the same price for the end of this year, but even if I would love to see that price I do not see how we can reach it.

Well it's great forecast in that happen cryptocians will go to the party everyday. Your prediction is not bad because we all want that bitcoin will be on the highest price because we all know we can get many profit and benefits. So the best we can do is buying now as long the price is affordable.

He admitted already that he didn't confirm his speculation, so there is now wrong with that. It actually nobody will think for achieving that price today since we are still on low market flows. We are still waiting for institutional investors to put their money and regain their trust again.
We are just started the year and still have chances for huge market coming but it won't be that huge to shown up. Anyways, just keep positive.

I agree that bitcoin in the next four months will stay within $3000 and $6500. We are going to have stable prices in 2019 unlike 2018 and 2017 that we have volatile market.  I also believe that in 2019 many institutional investors are going to invest in cryptocurrencies market.

I thought 2018 for about 6 months was pretty darn stable.  Its all relative as by stable I mean it hovered by the thousands around the 6000 mark for a long while.    Since prior to 2017 we had only varied by hundreds, that would seem a strange statement.

But anyhow I will disagree that 3000 to 6500 qualifies as a stable range when thats over 100% range from one end to the other.   That would make it more volatile then when we were going 6k to 8k

We should be happy if we reach 10k this year with a slow but steady growth :)

Indeed. Anything beyond that would be a big bonus already for all of us. With the kind of movement bitcoin in showing us, i'm not hoping for any new all time highs this year.

Such forecast is exaggerated and really doesn't have any solid ground. I know it's called forecast or speculation, but still let's be at least a bit realistic.
 In the next couple of months I don't expect some major changes in price valu, conditions on the market are not indicating any of this. To be honest if the price goes up to the 6000$ again until the end of firts quarter that would be really a surprise to me.

Never say never.

OK, it's clearly more a "game", since nobody knows even if tomorrow Bitcoin will go "back" to 3000$ or "back" to 4000$ :)
But on longer term, since it's good tech and it's still developing in the right direction, it should grow. Now the game is to catch some realistic time frame and value for that growth :)

The more people buy in at lower levels, such as in the 3000s, then the more we're likely to see sell-offs at even quite modest (compared to the ATH) peaks such as the 6000s. As people who buy now can earn a significant chunk of profit selling at those levels, and may decide to do so if they believe the chance of returning to the 3000s is higher than going higher.

There are purchases of BTC all the time, and every time a transaction happens the more we have people who have bought in at current levels, and will base their investment decisions on the price that they paid.

Hey I’ll second that this is the mother of all exaggeration I have seen on this forum, there has been no arguments to support such a big prediction. I’ll differ here I feel we’ll see lots of volatility going ahead, and if Bakkt gets launched soon then it should breach 5k levels. The only scenario I see it crossing 6k levels is when Sec approves Bitcoins Etf, which is quite possible but sadly it’s not been confirmed if it’ll be approved or not.

Question to the author of OP are you still believing in your prediction for Bitcoin price? I know that you're standing for it but do you believe in it?

Your prediction is way off. Bitcoin will not be $100k even in 2020 in 2019 will most likely not go even over $10k.

It's like just a fantasy that seems like a lot of people expect that to happen, but in reality we just keep complaining about the market situation that continues to crash. Anyway, if the price can come back again at $6k, I think it's enough and there will definitely be many people who are happy with the recovery.

I don't think that bitcoin will reach $100k. It will be happy news for all bitcoin lovers if it reach that mark but as per the market condition we cannot predict that BTC will reach that much amount. At least it should reach $7k which is decent price and make lot of people a bit satisfied what it was earlier this year.
I and all the lovers of bitcoin love and wish the BTC to reach certain big value in future years.

You forecast is possible, now that we already hit the bottom I believe we will have a strong rally that will turn into a bull run.
$100k is possible because we are in crypto, the market is still not that big so when people sees the price going up they will think it's the bull run and they will surely get into FOMO. I can't estimate how small the adoption is compared to the potential users of crypto all around the world but I believe we are less than 10% of its potential, so we can attract the rest if the crypto craze will happen again.

Your forecast of price of bitcoin $100K  in 2019 is very outrageous and you should let us know the criteria and analysis  used to back up your claim at least to convince us towards accepting that predicted value however I think bitcoin will reach $10K this year all things being equal and positive.

like everyone said , 100k usd is too much for just a 1 year pump  . i would only believe if btc is already on 50k and up because that may seem more realistic than compare to the current price that we have right now but i agree that btc can definetly increase this incoming months due to several positive news that may seem to occur this year  . in the meantime all we gotta do for now is to continue filling our bags with promising coins because btc isnt the only one that could potentially recover   .

So true. The best we can get in 2019 is just $10k in my humble opinion. We've lost the charm that we got in 2017 where people get excited when they want to invest in btc or crypto. People will also see it very dumb for them to buy btc with a value of $100k when its user is not even half of the world.

It would be nice to know why you think we will see a 100k bitcoin here in 2019 I think that to get to 100k or beound we need to see greater changes in the fiat world, either a new Quantitative Easing from the central banks or a a massive sell off in stocks where the fiat value need to be put in something that can keep its value.

If your forecast would come true, then it would be a big blast to all Bitcoin holders and to the whole cryptocurrency world as well. But in any case, $100k is too much for a forecast. Maybe we could reach the previous ATH of $20k or even surpass it a bit.

The author wrote that the price should grow "by" 2019. That is, it should have happened already. But, as we see, this didn’t happen. Although, apparently, there will be growth this year, but, I think, not more than $10,000 for bitcoin.

I am not even sure we can reach that price during the next five years so it is surprising to see someone still maintaining his prediction about what the market will do, as you may guess as a small bitcoin holder I will be benefited if we saw such prices but I cannot count on something that is close to impossible to improve my life so I prefer to not make such predictions.

currently still in early 2019, anything can still happen in the next 11 months. if indeed the price of bitcoin will reach $ 100k at the end of the year, the signs will probably be seen in the middle of the year.

BTC will grow and continue to grow in demand and as well in price. Only thing price will remain uncertain if it will reach 100k or 20k etc. But does not seems to be reaching 100k in coming time for sure. May be we can expect something more realistic like first 10k and then 20k etc.

Yes, we have 11 months to wait for, and I am sure that everything can happen in this year including the rising of bitcoin price. Like the last year, we are trying to survive in the hardest situations and still doing the trade in any coins and make the profit even it looks impossible but I am sure we can make that profit. I am sure many of us still waiting for what happens in the next months because they believe that bitcoin will increase.
