Bitcoin Forum

If you’ve ever watched Bitcoin-related videos on YouTube, you’ve probably gotten to know K-Dub. K-Dub is a 32-year-old from New York who broadcasts live each day on his popular channel Crypto Zombie.

Without a doubt, Crypto Zombie is one of the most popular channels around, with an astonishing number of over 90,000 subscribers as of writing this. Every night you can meet him on YouTube, and when I write ‘meet him,’ this really describes his attitude toward his thousands of loyal followers.

K-Dub’s daily streams combine aspects of technical and fundamental analysis. He analyzes the Bitcoin charts while speaking about the day-to-day crypto news.

I watched some of his videos and while I like that he talks about the news his TA is extremely biased. Just look at some of his headlines, almost every week "bitcoin is at a critical point" or "is there a pump coming?" "Is there a dump coming?" "Is there a manipulation?" Like a third of his videos are made this way.

Look people crypto is dumping!
A day later...
Look people crypto is pumping!

Also, Every week he posts a video with a title "bitcoin has never done it before!" or "It has never happened before in Bitcoin!" And in the last month he posted 5 videos with a title "massive move". Like every 5 days there's a "massive move". :D

Don't watch clickbait channels people and don't watch emotional TA.

Definitely a click bait title. Anyone could create a youtube channel and post a video everything about cryptocurrency or post a daily price forecast or give technical analysis like a pro. You just need to sound like you know everything. It may somehow boost the adoption and popularity of btc but good traders will not going to easily believe on such kind of videos.

Most likely it will not happen next year, but in the next 5 years it should.

Just an speculation by youtube influencer. Nothing solid proof to backed his claims. I watch many videos of crypto zombie on cryptohacks website. He is a good analyst but his 55k prediction for next year is exaggerated. Maybe he put a long position by the time he write that article.

No.  I avoid professional youtubers like the bubonic plague, and I've never watched any of them who have a focus on crypto.  People make videos on youtube because they like to hear themselves talk, and usually it's all a bunch of nonsensical crap.  If this guy K-Dub is predicting bitcoin will reach $55,000 by next year he's doing the same thing that Peter Schiff does when he talks about bitcoin or gold, ie, he is doing it for the clicks and publicity.

If bitcoin does get that high within a year, it will be a cursed miracle.  There would be no way it would be able to maintain that price for long.  Most of the bitcoin holders who had held it will likely start selling, which would cause a panic and panic selling would ensue, and the price would crash like in 2017.  I would prefer that not happen.

'Influencer'.  There's a word that makes my bile boil.

You are probably advertising a Youtube channel ?
I know many such channels who give good technical analysis but none of them can provide correct prediction. Most of them say that price can go up to x amount or dump to this much amount and their predictions are always right because they have given predictions in both the directions.

Expectation vs reality. The main thing is the adoption process not the price only... Having millions of users will automatically increase the demand which will lead the price up, and this will not happen soon imo..

To be fair there were some more important statements in this article than only the subject of your thread. I liked when he said why to catch falling knife when we can catch confirmed uptrend? It's better to miss 25% profit and catch 200% worry free profit. And now what's about subject, he states halving again and I 100% agree with him, halving will play huge role in bitcoin's price further rise like it did in past and made insane rise.
By the way it was really a good article, thanks for sharing.

He's all right. Definitely better than some others youtube pumper dumpers. I sometimes like to watch crypto youtubers for pure entertainment and cryptozombie is entertaining. His TA is worth shit but the way he talks about it is funny. He always talks like a permabull and has a lot of positive energy. Don't trust him though because he usually repeats FUD instead of ignoring it.

Why did you believed it won't happened in next year, I think with all I have gathered so far in crypto currency market any thing can  happened when you don't even expect it. So the tendency of bitcoin  hitting 55,000$ next year might sound impossible but it very Much possible...

He's probably trolling, don't bother to ask newbie because for sure he won't come back here to defend his case. Anyway, everything is really possible in crypto sphere, I mean did anyone really expects the price to be $20k last 2017? None of us expected it and the best prediction I did see during that time was only $5k, Lol. So let's see how it goes after the block halving, maybe we can see $55k or 5k next year. Personally though I don't put too much expectations, just let the ecosystem flow.

Can't say no or can't say yes, either way I'm so skeptical about that price. If you come to think about it the price is way too high to become the next ATH by next year. But you were right that it might happen if we don't expect it since the market is too volatile maybe it will happen but to me not in 2020 but maybe 2022-2025.

It just seem to good to be true, it is great if will reach $55,000 next year but it's kind of impossible knowing that the price isn't even stable yet @ $10,000 mark now, the price fluctuates rapidly and I don't think it will soar high to $55,000 in a span of months. Also, consider the FOMOs, panic buying and selling of coins, I think these will just make the price fluctuates even more but let's see.

No, thanks.
I am done with those crypto wannabe analysts which thinks they are always right.
It is not about the bitcoin market anymore but more of how they want bitcoin to go pumping again.
Listening to them will make you feel that it will always be a biased video.
Some of them forget how to be real. They are too much eaten by a single pump which is most likely a fluke. Just done by a hype.

This is possible and even more modest compared to the predictions of other crypto personalities such as the infamous John McAfee. But even so, this is way too higher than what is most probable. But I certainly wish that this prediction from a zombie will take place before world war z would. Lmao. But then I always appreciate a prediction that is based on both technical and fundamental analysis.

Youtube titles be indeed like that most of the time. And please OP, i'd rather watch the hows of trading and market rather than these so called "analysts" of market BTC. Anyone could literally say anything, predict anything. I'd actually avoid anything linked to TA most of the time, except if they actually triggered me to research about it and understand how it would happen. My mind is much more clear that way since a lot of false predictions arent recorded in my brain anymore.

Hmmm, might give it a try then. Im more inclined to watching how he portrays what he says rather than the content itself.

@Legit_Alt+ I haven’t watched his videos as I don’t trust Youtubers because most of the time they don’t have knowledge about the subject they speak, they only make channels on popular topics and then spam it with affiliate marketing. @darkangel11 that’s one of the many reason why I avoid YouTube videos, they’ll post a click bait title to achieve higher click through ratio, but at the end of the video you realise they’re just misleading you. Also it’s not possible for bitcoins prices to achieve $55k levels in a years time, hence I would suggest you not to take any investment decisions based on his videos.

If he really got huge fans that following his suggestion, I am sure that he can move the price to go up or down anytime because he only needs to use one command so his fans will do as he suggests. But so far, I don't use or watch for the video like that because that video could not help me to get better analyze. I need to find another video that can show what that person explains so I can try to apply or modify my analysis and find some more information to predict the market. But if you want to follow that guy, please be careful as you don't know if he has good skills or not in trading.

This guy knows how to play the emotions of his readers. And he is doing all he can to increase the views of his YouTube videos by using hypes and clickbaiting headlines. He must be more of a marketer or to an extent a communicator to an easily stimulated audience masquerading his ideas and opinions as technical analysis. And I guess we have an avalanche of YouTube channel owners like him preferring to adopt hypes and FUDs to get the views they are dreaming of. Sorry but I don't think we can really trust this guy for informed cryptocurrency decisions but for entertainment purposes maybe he can be good at that.

Listened a lot to youtubers before but It didn't make a better trader and so I stopped rather trust my instinct. Not to mention youtubers rely on clickbait just to get attentions, I know that there are really experts in the space but I hate those who pretend where we don't know if they're really making money on trades or just by youtube watchtime?

So, do you think this is a reason that can push Bitcoin to 50K USD? It's ridiculous that people now believe YouTubers predictions. Youtuber has nothing with the crypto, they make videos with an interesting title, hilarious expression when they talk about Bitcoin mooning! So, people click on their video, watch for fun and YouTubers make huge money from it. Mate, you need to know the best way to earn crypto knowledge from this forum, not from YouTubers. Predict the crypto price by following the chart or who predict according to the trading view, don't believe YouTubers prediction about crypto.

Those number are quite big for a certain time to count. Though possible but somehow I doubt. First thing is that he already stated, there are some factors looming around that could affect the market, and in addition it is not always about what we think of, even though there will be a halving that doesn't mean market will go at a certain numbers. It indeed willl go skyrocket but it is not always what we thought of.

This could be another Mcafee wannabes who likes feeding us hype, people who likes to create hype so much are those in a hurry to make profit out of the Bitcoins and other coins they are holding, we are eventually going to get there, there's no doubt about that, we don't need to much hype right now, because things are already unfolding, $55,000 is just to much although way lower than Mcafee, but I want to be moderate i don't want big hype big crash.

We all have expectations because of halving for next year, but $55k is a bit much. It is just someone's expectation. It is difficult to make a long term prediction in the Bitcoin trade and to believe it wholeheartedly. I try to approach it fundamentally in long term analysis, which is generally very difficult. The crypto market is more new and needs to develop a little more, and move away from manipulation.

yes I agree with you $ 55,000 I think that's too high to be achieved next year. although bitcoin will defend two next year but the value will not reach $ 55,000. because at the moment the value of bitcoin is only $ 8800 and in my opinion after defending the two maybe the highest value of bitcoin is $ 30,000 I think $ 30,000 makes more sense than $ 55,000. but all this is possible in the bitcon market. I always educate myself not to get my hopes up too high. because if hope is far from reality it will make us disappointed. so it's better to hope for a little but if in reality it gets a lot then we are grateful for that.

There are lot of predictions and speculations of Bitcoin ATH price before but as i remembered it did not happen as desired. People who made those great speculations become foolish because of the bearish market which is still in effect and i believe that this K-DUB will be the next in line but anyway this is better than spreading FUD but i really doubt it because $55,000 is to huge to be true.

Like some others in this thread, I'm not too interested in these guys who using crypto for his own personal gains, and in the end, of all this, really has little or any practical value. The keyword they all use is "could", and we all know what that really means, it can happen, but it doesn't have to.

If we just try to think logically, we can draw some conclusions ourselves. All we have to do is look at the data that exists and which can show us in which direction Bitcoin is actually going. The whole history of Bitcoin shows us a very clear direction, and this is generally always upwards with inevitable corrections. Whether someone wanted to accept it or not, the crypto winter was over few months ago, halving is inevitable next year, and after that new big pump is something that can be expected.

$55k is actually a very achievable price, just 6 times up from where we are right now. In 2017 an increase of 20 times was achieved, so it does not surprise me at all that some people predict a much higher Bitcoin price in the next 2-4 years.

Bitcoin will growing next year so most of the investors are buy and hold the Bitcoin. The current market is little drop so we can invest soon we will get more profit in Bitcoin. But 55k USD is hard to predict so we can active in all the time we will make enough profit. I hope one day it will cross the 100k USD also and we can't predict the huge hype on Bitcoin.

It's so common nowadays specially there are people who want to be a wannabe vlogger just to gain some subscriber watch traffic. It's all about the money since youtube can give you an incentives if you have more viewers.
Back on to the topic. I don't know if $55,000 will be the next ATH next year or it's just a number in a picture that won't happen even if the halving is done. Price right now doesn't add up to that price next year but maybe whales could do something about it.

that is not "astonishing", there are other idiots bigger than him with a lot more "zombie" followers. that doesn't make them experts though. in fact 99% of those who are posting analysis on Youtube don't have any understanding of the market and most of them don't even trade. i wouldn't be surprised to learn that they don't even own any bitcoin or own very little like 0.001!

the thing is those that are actually "experts" will never waste their time on creating Youtube videos for the pennies youbute pays them ;)

And how is that related to speculation of the bitcoin price ?

It's as useful as a two year old price prediction of Mat.

90,000 Subscribers ?! No I don't think they can have a big impact on btc value ! ;)

Am no more enjoying those predictions, they are not good for expectant investors. The only purpose of the price prediction for bullrun is to enable a wiser exit price when it touches it. Now I might begin to consider the VitaliK prediction never to see that magnitude of price pump of altcoins in a short while like we saw few years back. Though it gives a good chance for altcoin to engage a more sustainable developments

Everyone in the cryptocurrency market wants Bitcoin to rise, which would be great if Bitcoin could reach $ 55,000 or even $ 100,000.
However, it is very difficult to happen, the current market is having difficulty in calling for new investors. We need a great leverage if we want Bitcoin to reach $ 55,000.
We should aim for $ 20,000 next year which seems more feasible.

I saw other videos of this person and it seemed to me that this person simply attracts attention and promotes himself as an analyst, but in fact he provokes society to criticize or approve to create a discussion around his forecasts. In fact, it is difficult to make an objective price forecast because the information background changes very quickly over the course of a week or even several days.

Been around in Bitcoinland for quite a while. Bitcoin will amaze you with the drops and it will amaze you with it's ATH.
Once we go past the halving we will for sure pass the $20000 mark and $55000 isn't too much higher.
Even this year we have seen 140% rises and 40% drops in days. Give us a few of those rises and some FOMO and we could get up to 6 digits before dropping back.

How many similar predictions I have heard so far. Every year is the "next" when Bitcoin will reach some magic price and everyone will become millionare. Honestly, I'm not buying that and I don't pay attention to such exaggerated predictions falling out of the blue.

I don’t see much off the reality in it because I have not seen much factor that could trigger bitcoin to rise to that value next year except that of halving and when it comes to the halving of bitcoin, I think that the highest that I see bitcoin growing to is something around $28500 which is not a bad choice of investment for anyone.

At that value, the people that bought bitcoin when the price was at $19k in that last bull run will benefit and recover their money while the people that made investment this period will also benefit, so that value is more of feasible to me. For bitcoin to reach that $55k, you need to look at the system first and see if bitcoin is going to grow to trillion in marketcap, because that is the only marketcap that can make bitcoin to surge to that $55k.

It’s crypto, so literally anything is possible, especially with the recent uptrend, but there is no reason for me to say it could hit $50,000. Bitcoin is $8,800 each now, and 158 billion dollars in total. If each bitcoin hit $50,000, it means it will rise nearly 5.5 times. the total price will be 870 billion dollars. Hence Bitcoin will need nearly 700 billion dollars to hit $50,000. It is a large number and there possibly is a financial crisis recently, even though 2020 is expected to be the bull market, but I do not think the price can hit $50,000, it needs too much money to achieve this goal.

With the long years in bitcoinland as you said, can recommend any expert that has high accuracy in price prediction in any social media on bitcoin especially, most especially twitter?

one more last i want told u , whoever that person ,if talk about price prediction , i wont to believe it.
its just a trend u know , he watching some video from other person, then he make own speculation by himself.
but well, one words i like from him is :
"Never invest in something that you don’t actually understand. Never buy into an altcoin simply because your favorite crypto YouTuber (this includes me) or analyst won’t stop talking about it"
that words meaning "dont you try to believe 100% about speculation price,whoever is it".

The complete opposite of actual technical analysis, just from looking at 2-3 minutes of his "analysis" it looks very biased and most of his videos just include him emotionally rambling.

He just seems like a cool and presentable guy, perfect for advertisers = his channel gets pushed out to other viewers = he eventually turns some of them into subscribers and fans.

Don't trust any TA related to Bitcoin, it's impossible to predict and the people who think they have cracked the formula are just fools.

It's November 2019 and the price is $ 8000. We couldn't get above $ 14000. we are far from $ 20,000. I wonder:

Why can people be so optimistic that they'll think of $ 55,000 next year when we're not even $ 20,000? I'm not seeing where there is a lot of demand for the price to reach $ 55,000? halving will create a pump, but I believe the price could reach $ 17000 to $ 25000. $ 55,000 is very exaggerated

well nothing could be say about the price of bitcoin may be his prediction is true or may be false but you are right that $55k is too much exaggeration about the price of bitcoin, if people are in the hope of halving then we could say that the price will reach high may be $30k or above, but if $55k in the end of next year happened then it would be great.

I have not seen the video channel but if he predicts the value of the price, I remember the predictions from the people below, many people believe and quite a number of followers, so this youtube channel is still fairly few  ;D


@APompliano failed https://twitter.com/APompliano/status/945020961421758466

I have written it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043315.msg53062800#msg53062800) too, I will add it to my thread later, if the prediction fails  ;D

It's  an assumptions which tough to reach from how we see things right now. Though there's always surprises from the market and once the whales
play the  game who knows how high the price can go. Keep the sentiment high and let the investors to buy and hold so value will find new barrier and
if the market movement start to rise back. We will see how things will be after the halving.

Crypto is still a 'risk-on' asset. This means people are willing to push money into crypto as a speculative investment when everything else in the economy is moving along swimmingly.
Larger players tend to go 'risk-off' during recessions and thus capital will likely be constricted for investments like Bitcoin.

Some of the sound money, Austrian economic, libertarian zealots (I have a foot in this camp) will make a case for an economic collapse being a watershed moment for Bitcoin - a chance for Bitcoin to subsume the dirty fiat system and bury the unscrupulous banksters who have a stronghold on the economy. I'm in the same boat.

The above is my opinion - in the long view, no one knows for sure how Bitcoin will perform in a recession simply because we've only ever known Bitcoin during an equities bull market - one that seems to continue marching along unimpeded and fueled by continual rate cuts and other intervention strategies.

nobody!
it has been said a million times before, experts don't waste their time on social media making predictions and publishing them for people to read. experts (the real ones not the self claimed idiots) go to the market and use their own speculation to make profit. only those who either want to scam others or manipulate them to make profit elsewise spread their guesses on social media.

Making videos on youtube about crypto and sounding liking an expert is easy task but they just waste the time of watchers spreading fake news and making false predictions.Do you have any justified reason for btc price to jump to $55k by next year when they are struggling to cross $10k zombie trap.So i would suggest you to avoid such channels who are there just to speculate wrong prices in order to gain subscribers and earn millions by fooling you.Just do your own research and gain profits from the market by doing it yourself.Those who have skills use them don't advertise about them.

+1

There are many so-called experts. None of them are accurate.
As in my statement I can only say that you will be amazed at it's fluctuating nature. If you wait long enough, you will make major profits and get dragged through the shit...
Play your cards right and buying low and selling high is not that hard. As long as you look at BTC in the long term...

You are very correct, I so much believe this will happen it might take. Because if you remember back in 2012 nobody expect bitcoin to hit $18k in 2018 but it happens so they is heavy  tendency that when bitcoin want to raise next it will be more than *2 of what it was in 2018..

You can't compare how Bitcoin was in 2012 to how Bitcoin is today.

In 2012 people were rightfully conservative about Bitcoin and its future. Today the fundamentals are looking so strong that it's hard to think of a scenario where the price won't reach $100,000 and levels way higher. Doubters will be left behind thinking about how they could have bought and accumulated all that wealth but didn't because they were too conservative.

In fact, I find it seriously irresponsible for people to not have exposure to Bitcoin. How risky is it to have a 1-2% allocation to Bitcoin? At worst you'll lose 1-2% but the more likely outcome is that such allocation will help you easily outperform inflation for many years and that without doing anything. People lose way more than that on a "fun" trip to Vegas.  ::)

The guy is not only the one believing that Bitcoin halving will create a pump that will reach about $50k+
A lot of people have been speculating it, even Charles Hwang, the Fund Manager of Lightning Capital Hedger and its so confusing.
I really agree with you though, even if Bitcoin halving affects the price to pump, $50k+ is just exaggeration and unhealthy for the market.

Since today there is a very serious outflow of funds from the cryptocurrency market, as evidenced by a decrease in capitalization over the last period, indicating a decrease in the popularity of cryptocurrencies, apparently with such news and forecasts some cryptocurrency users are trying to attract new investors to the cryptocurrency market and strengthen their hopes already  acting to the investor, so that they remain in the market with their assets, and not withdraw cryptocurrency to Fiat.  Of course, it is good to have great hopes, but I would like to reinforce all these chaitanya with at least some prerequisites that would clearly indicate a bull run in the near future.

The price of bitcoin will not increase by $ 50,000 next year or even 5 years, As more and more things have to be done, as more stores to adopt bitcoin, people are aware of how to use crypto currency especially bitcoin. Because it will have a huge impact on the price of bitcoin in the future.

next year yes i wont believe it because that is short for adoption as we all know that bitcoin is hard to learn and people needs to decide first if they agreed on the terms that bitcoin can give  but in the next 5 years yes maybe becuase 5 years i already a long time for adoption and learning bitcoin  .

by that time we can say that almost 99 and up percent of the population are now involved on btc  in which the value of btc can potentially end up 55k or more than this  .

I agree that the price of bitcoin is most likely not going to increase to 50000 dollars during the next year but five years is a very long time and anything can happen, it seems that you are forgetting that bitcoin is only 10 years old and five years is the equivalent of half of its current life and if you watch what was the price at the beginning of 2014 and the price of bitcoin at the end of 2019 I think you're going to see a massive difference between those prices.
