Ross Ulbricht, the originator of the dark web marketplace Silk Road, has anticipated that Bitcoin (https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/tag/bitcoin/) could reach $100,000 in 2020.

Ross Ulbricht is an American convict who created and ran the darknet marketplace Silk Road from 2011 to his capture in 2013. In February 2015, he was indicted for tax evasion, PC hacking, selling in bogus personality reports, and endeavoring to exchange drugs by means of the web.

analysis done looks at the movement from year to year, but all of that must also be supported by a candle that shows the movement of the trend up, 2020 is just counting the days if you have signs towards a good price we must see it from the current movement.

Actually, many "experts" predict bitcoin can go to the moon, they predict extremely pump hard
even jhon McAfee wanna eat his d*ck if the prediction goes wrong

whatever the prediction it is, just take it as consideration to make better prediction to our self

I am not expert with elliot waves but i thought that the 1st and fifth waves are supposed to be shorter then 3rd wave? Can someone draw me the chart where that ends up being 100k and still being valid elliot wave theory?

What kind of prediction is this sure with the that bitcoin will reach $ 100,000 in 2020?
I do not believe that statement, especially what is released from the mouth of ex-convicts, which is clear that bitcoin is still far to reach that number, $ 100,000 is a large number, it might take decades.

Well...

I dont quite believe that number, my prediction is that Bitcoin would be 18,000 USD.

Other's have different opinion tho..

Bobby Lee- 333,000 in 2020
Arthur Hayes- 10,000 in Q4 2019
John McAfee- 1,000,000 in Dec 2020
Mike Novogratz- 20,000 in 2019
Tim Draper- 250,000 in 2022

There's a lot of prediction from different experts or analyst but it always depends us on which prediction we think will likely to happen.

you can check the top predictions in this site also https://masterthecrypto.com/bitcoin-price-prediction/

But JOHN MCAFEE's prediction for bitcoin to reach $1 million by the end of 2020, this is quite out unrealistic.

I just read this year in forbes and there was a new article that already published in forbes said if bitcoin will reach 100k rate in 2021. I'm feeling confusing to choose which is the source that i must believe in it. Any parties have a different opinion about that. But i just try to think if 2021 much more make sense compared with what already said by ross if the next year bitcoin will reach $100.000
there was a lot of fundamental things need to be tested and that may need more time.

Some predictions can't be trusted because they are there to creating the hype only.

He used the elliot wave theory. If it's the too high predictions for 2020, I'll rather think of getting back to the all time of $20,000 first and won't hope much for that price that we've been hearing from these popular figures in the crypto community.

The closest one was Hayes' prediction but it happened around 2nd quarter of this year. I think that we won't see $10,000 by the end of December. Novogratz became quiet lately, IIRC, this was the 2nd time he predicted wrong.

That number sounds a little bit too high. If I had to guess, I would say somewhere in the $20-30,000 range sometime next year. While $100,000 would be great, I think that prediction is a little too outrageous. It's going to take more than 10x the money coming into the market for that to even be an option. I just don't see that happening in a years time.

He has big mouth and is not afraid to use it :D He could be the REAL Satoshi. It only makes sense for him coz... this is John guys, he is so greedy he is waiting for 1mil before dumping anything from the 1000000BTC stash he is hodling. He is the only guy in the world who could literally pass up on billions right now only for the lolz and to become 10x bezos reach in the future

It could also reach $200,000 tomorrow, or maybe tonight. It could also be $1 in 2020.

You and I and the rest of the members of this forum and everyone else who knows about Bitcoin could make their own speculations. We are talking of possibilities here. And everything is actually possible with Bitcoin and crypto. It could last until next year only at the same time it could also last until 500 years. Price speculation of Bitcoin is not interesting anymore because everybody has their own idea, many are wild.

No one can predict what will happen, but if we watch at history maybe will not happen next year to have 100k usd for 1 BTC but maybe we can have a new ATH and over 20k usd because halving coming.

well ,
halleluyah holyshit.
did that true ?
of course no one know, you know what ? i guess , a stupid wave theory cant be attached on bitcoin,as i know so far , i am not saying i am experts btw, but the only logical reason for bitcoin price is hashrate of bitcoin it self.
the higher the hash rate, the more expensive it is for hackers to attack the network,the short meaning is bitcoin becomes more valuable, just it.

what we can trust from bad guys. I think he just said something that didn't make sense. being too optimistic will only make you more hopeful. this will only make you disappointed deeper if it doesn't happen. anyway $100k in just 1 year, i'm not sure. even bitcoin is difficult to do.

Good enough to take it was our inspiration, because if we're too much particular of expecting a lot for the price to go up high, I guess it was just disappointing. Much better if we must be calm and easy going before cryptocurrency market reached the top value.

I hope halving will come without any circumstances that might arise so bad. Let's expect more promising price to commence further, and the benefits it provide for so many holders and traders. Predictions was not reliable so we should have our own idea and decide for the best that we can do.

It means that Ross Ulbricht is able to communicate with the outside world and i am not sure about the circumstance of this interview nor his predictions, here he predicts the price using Elliott Wave Theory which i am not a big fan because of the variable factor of psychology when you are using this method which is just another hypothesis, i rely on facts and like every other prediction Ross Ulbricht made a prediction about the price of BTCitcoin and i wish he could have predicted his future better  :-\.

one more we get from an inmate making a new prediction for the price of bitcoin, even though it makes far more sense than the prediction of John McAfee, it looks like we've pocketed and get leaked information for prices next year, preparing to see many people will run from behind us fighting over bitcoin in the next year, I can't wait for that to happen again and let's see it later  ;D

I am sorry that Ulbrich will probably be in jail for things which he did not directly do, but unfortunately he helped many criminals.
Unfortunately, I am far from considering him an expert who can predict the price of Bitcoin. His predictions are worth as much as each of us. We may have predictions or dreams, but the market will do what it wants.

I cant still forget on that McAfee deal about eating his own d*ck if his prediction wont happen on next year.Being bullish isnt bad but if you do already come to a point where you do speculate unrealistic numbers
then you do make yourself too dumb.

We can make our own speculations though and theres no such thing about being popular or just a simple person.For that Ross ulbricht he can say what he want but we know that 100k for 1 year time
is not really that possible.

speculation is getting crazy, before there was also someone who speculated bitcoin would go up at the price of 50k, that alone make me dizzy to understand it. better predict at a reasonable price such as 25k usd, it's more likely to be achieved than 100k. I can't blame your prediction because it's yours, it's just that I disagree.

Everyone can say various predictions as they pleased without being related to the crime he committed, but in my opinion at least every prediction that is spoken must have a strong reason to support all predictions, as now we can see how market conditions, trends that occur, the even all the conditions can be a source for someone issuing their predictions.
But we as traders do not have to make other people's predictions as a benchmark for investing, and it is better to rely on our analysis and predictions.

This is more of a bitcoin speculation and it is placed on the wrong section. I have found similar thread that's already made earlier.

Ross Ulbricht (Silkroad guy) doing elliot wave analysis from prison (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208847.0)

I think discussion should be continued on that thread.

no chance. big money is involved now.   theres no way BTC will hit 100k anytime soon, DEFINITALLY NOT 2020, LOL
this dude is so out of touch, 100k, omg haha.   we wont see 30k sadly, as ya theres too many institutions taking their 5% daily profits up and down, they wont allow it to rise : /
thats why the price has stayed within 500$ for months now sadly.   BTC belongs to the market whales now, all us plebs can do is try collect some :P
we had the last 10 years to make this big, but we were so busy trying to screw eachother to get rich it seems : /

And what if it didn't reach $ 100,000? When bitcoin was at its peak in 2017, I remember predictions that it will reach $ 50000 towards mid of 2018. But it ends up at the price of $ 3100 in December 2018. There is no indicator that can give us a hint about the future price of bitcoin. Everyone just buy bitcoin and HODL.

But Ulbricht isn't just some bs 'expert' trying to share charts online for the likes.  I don't agree with his forecast but he should be treated with more respect...  He has a serious mind and he's been around the block as far as BTC is concerned.

Everyone can give their own prediction and speculation so let them show what they think of the future price of bitcoin. Besides none of us can really make a precise prediction so let them have it. As we all know bitcoin halving will going to happen in May 2020 but that doesn't mean there will be a bull market already. Speculation in the past do tell that after halving it takes years first before we could actually see the halving effect.

I hope the predictions can happen so that I make a big profit in 2020 ;D totally disbelieve but if it happens I'm sure everyone here will be happy mate ,this time I will be normal about all predictions because bitcoin is actually very difficult to predict no matter how good your speculation is whatever the pattern anyway still cypto is unique

And a lot of altcoins will without a doubt out perform BTC as we've seen so many times over the years.

A high BTC dominance means => Invest in alts
A low BTC dominance means => Go ALL in BTC to ride it out.

It makes me laugh when everyone believes nothing else matters than BTC/ETH, when we saw just the opposite back in 2017, and a few years back prior to that as well.

I'm betting my money on solid projects with a low marketcap, which is gonna outperform the top coins by a LONG SHOT.
Best bet right now is Blocknet, running the only Decentralized Exchange on the market, including solving oracles with their Xrouter services. Do your own research though.

Precisely, there's no assurance whether it will happen or not though maybe it can influence but to the point that it will drag the value to that level . it will be needed a very huge amount of investment to lift to that high, the close price might be the same as last time high or maybe up to $25k much realistic
to reach that value and hopefully will gain a strong barrier.

Everyone is free to predict the future of bitcoin, including Ross Ulbricht who said that by 2020 bitcoin will be heading for $ 100k.
So it is up to each person, whether they believe it or not. I personally do not believe the predictions, because they are based the
analysis I've done the price of bitcoin will only reach the price of $ 20k. Especially the predictions of John McAfee bitcoin at $ 1 million
at the end of the year 2020, it was really a joke. Another reason I disagree with Ross Ulbricht's prediction because the price of $ 100k is
too high to be achieved look at the current price of bitcoin which has difficulty returning to the price of $ 8000. This is a sign that
bitcoin needs a trigger other than halving, I hope in time nearby there is big news that could be a trigger for the rise in bitcoin prices.

At present market conditions, it looks like a dream to me. But because of globalization and becoming popular among the community Bitcoin could reach $20,000 in 2020 in my opinion.  The future is unpredictable so all we can do is hope for the best.

Until now all predictions have been thrown by all observers about the price of bitcoin, but it has not yet seen an accurate prediction that might even approach. it can be trusted that there will be an increase with bitcoin and anyone who doesn't want the price of bitcoin to be that high, but it also needs to be realistic to expose that. even if there is an increase it might be more than 2017 and the excess is not much and that is an acceptable fairness.

Not another crazy Bitcoin prediction article, how many more of these are we going to get? Pretty soon we will hear "Trump says BTC will hit $1 million".

Think about it this way. Say these people had some time machine and actually knew 100% what BTC would be worth in 2020 or 2022 or 2025, do you think they would still be posting these predictions? Most likely not, they would instead borrow as much money as they can and buy as much BTC as they can. Why tell other people which will make the price go higher and make you pay more for the same bitcoins? Exactly.

Hence they are no more than just guessing and should be just taken with a grain of salt.

Just as the price of Bitcoin may fall to $1000 in 2020, so can it rise to $20k ,or even $100k. We are not able to predict this, and Ulbricht is no expert but criminal and I do not know why we are taking his predictions for discussion in this forum. Let him predict if the judge will shorten his sentence.

These predictions are the reasons why bitcoin cant go bullish.  Their too advance ,some predicted that bitcoin can go million dollars which is too realistic.

I expect what the man predicts next year, but I also need a basis for a statement about his predictions. Including you, how you believe it while he does not give a clear reason for his statement, there is no technical and fundamental analysis, it looks nonsense.

If bitcoin is going to go up at least that guy gives a benchmark that's not as fantastic as that even though it could have happened, but really this makes no sense. I need a reason, hope you can tell me.

This will not going to stop, despite the fact that almost every predictions about bitcoin future price went wrong drastically. Still we are giving fame to people by discussing there predictions. Lets hope year 2020 bring joys for all crypto traders but don't follow these predictions. Crypto market has its own mood of going up and down.

Another nustradamus wanna be or should i say a time traveller. All those persons who predicted that btc will go 100,000$ even  higher should be buying right now and pump bitcoin up to 50,000$.

it is not another nostradamus wannabe but the manipulator trying to use their bold prediction to hype the market and manipulating the community morale. do not you find it strange, many people started to make a bold prediction lately?

Exactly! They should buy and pump the price themselves!

However, I wonder ... Why Ulbricht is even trying to predict the price of Bitcoin at all..?  ::) After all, if the court confirms the charges against him, he won't be released from prison for the rest of his life ...  :o

Bitcoin can go to $100k in 2020, yes. Doesn't mean it will though.
Equally it can go to $1k. The thing is, with a market as volatile as crypto, we do get these huge fluctuations, and each new mega-bull can be an order of magnitude higher than the last one... but also the falls are just as hard.

Remember bitcoin went from $20k to $3k fairly rapidly. Just because a thing is possible, doesn't mean it's likely. Any idiot can make predictions, and the more outlandish, the more likely they are to get coverage. Fundamentally though we are all guessing on BTC price, and we are guessing within a wide range.

None of them get the fame for making such wild prediction out of nowhere. They just want their names to be in the crypto headlines but what they just did won't affect the market price. Maybe he just predicted that because he knows when is the bitcoin halving but there's a slight of fail in his prediction because almost everyone who's old enough here know that bitcoin halving will take years before the effect could happen.

As you wrote, any idiot can give any number he think about and claim that this will be the price of Bitcoin in next year. However, no one will think about the fact that technology is developing and Bitcoin 2 may be created at any time and the price of the current BTC will begin to fall to zero.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0

This topic belongs to Speculation board and current place is only related to altcoins. Please move this to that board there are so many topics related BTC's price movement.

To be honest, no one really knows what could happen in the price of bitcoin or should we even care about it especially when we are just investors. Predicting the price is just too hard and even experts can't pinpoint what could happen. As of now, I think we should still focus on looking for something to invest in other than bitcoin. But it's going to be really huge if what Ross is saying is going to happen.

I am not surprised at all with predictions that have come out, actually you can ignore them because this is not possible and another reason is because many of these predictions are always wrong, I consider this a joke, nothing more

Ross Ulbricht is a bad source of market predictions. The best predictions usually come from industry insiders who has intimate knowledge of the code developments and much better if this person predicting know how markets work.

I totally agree. Ross has been closed for years so he lost his market intuition. The only information he bases on is probably not much of what allows him to read or watch. We should not trust the predictions of individuals and certainly not those who have been in prison for years.

Do not be so negative about prisoners. Although Ross Ulbricht was busy with illegal work, he probably knew about BTC before all of us and was knowledgeable enough to create something on the darkweb. Also, I do not think he predicted $100k to impress somebody to invest. This is everyone's own choice, if you do not want to, do not.

And who would trust such a person as Ross Ulbricht? And for that matter, there are no insider in this market, everything moves here freely and it ever there is a code developments, everything can be seen in GitHub so everyone knows that something is going on behind. Well it's possible for bitcoin to reach that 6 figures right? So it's doesn't matter if Ross predicted it, eventually in the next 5-10 years, that price is doable.

I'm not placing high expectation anymore with this kind of news because since 2018 early i've seen so many news that said bitcoin will reach 100k in the end of the year. But the price crashed and i was so upset. It was bitcoin price in 20k, and with the current price right now, reaching 100k in 1 year is almost impossbile except some miracle happen to cryptocurrency. touching 10k is already a blessing for me.

My opinion is that until May 2020 Bitcoin will be worth somewhere around 30k, by the end of the year i really doubt that it will reach 100,000k. This is just manipulation from the crypto "influencers".

$100,000 may on the face of it seem quite unlikely, but we have seen that sort of exponential growth before. Basically if $100,000 were to happen, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to most of us. But also stagnation around current levels or even a fall to $5,000 wouldn't be a surprise either.

So what this means is that any price in the range $5,000 to $100,000 in 2020 would be reasonable. So you can make any price predication in this sort of range. The question is are these people saying it will hit that price, or that it could. If 'could', then fine, we all agree. If 'will', then that's absurd, no-one has that level of certainty where crypto prices are concerned.

Lol.  You're clueless pal.  You obv have no idea who he is or what you're talking about...  He's pretty much a legend in the space.

I don't believe this will be a 30k USD worth on before May 2020. Because we are monitoring the every day fluctuation so it will be worth full investment for long-term, But we can't predict the future pump and dump on Bitcoin. I hope manipulation is not at this year and crypto influencers are just a spammers. So we must active and trade constantly in Bitcoin investment.

Other predictions also say bitcoin will reach 1m $ at the end of 2020, and other experts also give their respective predictions, this is just speculation so just enjoy it.
the person who will win is the one who holds it for a long time.

Even I am tired of hearing these unrealistic predictions by people who have no idea about the crypto and blind followers who cheer on these predictions. If we reach at least somewhere near $9-10 then it will be a big relief for us, but we have high hopes from the year 2020 due to bitcoin halving and even if the halving pumps up the price still it will not cross $20k mark.

This year has already end, bitcoin price is yet to reach  $15k. And someone by the corner giving us unnecessary high hopes of $100k by next year. That's impossible, with what is happening around the cryptosphere currently. We shouldn't place our hopes on such amount, the least bitcoin can go is $20k by next year

I would prefer on having that way rather than seeing very high pumps in near future due to that halving hype.Who wouldnt like to see those numbers but we should be always
realistic on what we do speculate.Lots of people saying that we would hit up 13k-15k price on year end? but look at we now? We are hovering on 6k+ price which is too far
on what most people do speculate which does simply means that no one can really predict the future.

I think most of us that have been in this market for years would prefer that the market of cryptocurrencies was not as volatile as before, but with the whales and their power to move the markets as they wish and with the newbies which do not know to do anything except to follow blindly the price we do not really have any hope this is going to change in the near future, but as bitcoin becomes adopted all over the world we could begin to see a change in this market during the next decades.

Adaptation by most of countries will really had a great effect on the price possitively but as long as there were no good adaptation by doing some regulations also it will be hard for the market to have a bull run again. That 100,000 is just only an assumption by a person but it does not mean it will happen as like what title says "Could reach".

Even with good adoption rate globally, I still doubt Bitcoin will reach $100,000 in 2020. Let us wake up and realize that 2020 will start in a few days from now. And after only 12 months, 2021 will follow. Bitcoin is at $7,000 right now. $100,000 is $93,000 to go. "Could reach" is unlimited. Bitcoin could also reach $500,000 next year but it just will not.

With his crimes, we can see the lie in his words. In this market we always have to face such celebrities. they have fame and then they take advantage of it to make a big Fomo, when the community has believed and followed then he will be the seller of all bitcoin at high prices!
Always be careful with these tactics and the market is full of scams, don't trust anyone, trust your judgment.

I appreciate his predictions and speculations. but this is only limited to speculation and almost the same as done by McAfee regarding the prediction of bitcoin, or other investors.
halving really makes so many people guess the price that bitcoin will reach in 2020, even up to hundreds of dollars. it's just that no one knows for sure about that, we can only predict it, and I only advise that don't expect too high with the price of bitcoin to hundred thousands of dollars.

Is that a joke or not? Try to see if he's prediction is relevant to the current market condition since even though we have halving coming still it's not enough to cover up the huge bearish fear coming these days and maybe the relevant prediction is to come up at 10,000$ and if we will be lucky we can cross to $20,000.

Anytime until January is the perfect time to buy Bitcoin. Surely the BTC halvening in May next year will pump the price at least to the all-time-high price. Be sure to always buy the fking dip.  Grin

Okay, enough with the blaming. We know he committed crimes but that doesn't mean we don't have to respect his prediction. I know at some point you did make your own prediction and speculation about of the market. But did anyone point some fingers at you when you made one either it's right or wrong.

Everyone can make their own prediction, so do I. One thing that's for sure if you are so hesitant to enter the market or even bothered by the volatility, then this is not the place you wanted to stay.

There are no guarantee for bitcoin reaching new all time high after the halving. Everything it will depends on the hype on the people, if people could create a huge demand and the media also make a hype for new investors i'm sure it will happen.

You should remove "until" because anytime before halving and that will worth to buy bitcoin as much as we can. It's still a big question whether the halving of bitcoin will give a huge impact not only for bitcoin for the whole of cryptocurrency. Litecoin was not getting a lot of impacts even blockreward has already decreased a lot.
Some experts are saying bitcoin will be bullish next year but not sure if that will be caused by halving or not.
I just consider bitcoin as a new digital commodity that is always worth to buy that anytime. There is no specific time about the best time to buy bitcoin and if you are a trader and that will be a different story.

Dont understimate crypto movement. Bitcoin can easily get pump more than 10x in short time
that is possible when it's time. it is because of crypto is *still* low cap than others asset

although I dont hope too much in 2020, but in the future Iam sure it would happen

I also don't see a clear reason why Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey holds bitcoin and doesn't share with us about his thoughts on the future of bitcoin prices, sometimes not all experts share their analysis and share their thoughts with others, I'm not saying it will go $ 100 k in 2020 but in 2021 for the peak, I think $ 100k could have been reached in the next 2 years, so let's look at that. I didn't say much about this, just speculation and analysis.

New ath will take place once new money flow back to this market, demand coming from people who are willing to take the risk will impacted to this industry. It's another year to watch out if things will be positive again after the halving season. It's your good decision making that will give you big benefits.

maybe not, maybe yes. crypto prices in the future no one knows. including bitcoin. someone can make any prediction. but we who read must keep anticipating. 2019 is staying for a few days. and will welcome 2020. while I still see bitcoin at $ 7200. Personally, I'm not sure it will reach $ 100,000. but again, the price of bitcoin in the future nobody knows.

There is a price prediction that we are not sure if it will take place or not. That is, if the price is reasonable and not just picked up somewhere far. $100,000 in 2020 is certainly a price that is not reasonable to be achieved next year. If it is so, then it is nothing but a mere FOMO attempt. $100,000 is beyond the possible price range of Bitcoin in just a single year.

I am confused by Ross Ulbricht's prediction why so sure bitcoin will reach a price of $ 100k, how does he analyze it. Can say that in 2020
bitcoin will go up to $ 100k. According to the results of the analysis that I have done, and based on the movement bitcoin over the past
few months makes me sure Ross Ulbricht's predictions are inaccurate. Given the price conditions of the bitcoin too stable in my opinion,
even though the halving event is imminent. I am increasingly convinced the price of bitcoin in 2020 can only reach $ 12k.

I will be the most happiest person if that happens. I have been holding my bitcoin for a hope of the next big movement. I strongly has hope that $20,000 is not the highest bitcoin will ever go and the 2020 is another year to watch over as a lot of event are line up for this.

Another fake and over hoped prediction from a known source! This won't happen in 2020, there is not even a single chance!  I saw a prediction that Bitcoin price will hit 12K USD first then 15K then 18K USD, and it seems knowledgeable! I don't think Bitcoin's price will hit 100K USD in the next five years, in 2020? Impossible!

Yeah, there's no timeframe for "until". Any time is a good time to buy Bitcoin (except once the hype starts and then price just goes crazy and people are buying on emotional FOMO). Even with that actually, you buy every regular period and you will average out to a good price (since hypes don't last long and low or bear periods last much longer!).

It can be possible in any time around that Bitcoin will reach a desirable price specially now that the news have come out of the upcoming Bitcoin halving that will nearly happen in the year of 2020. We all do expect for sure that once the event have been done, it will take an after effect that may trigger the price to rise up. Seeing it as of the moment, the price to rise up to reach that price of $100,000 is impossible to happen but we can never tell because the last bull run that happen way back 2017, shows us a real large price hike from $9,000 in the midyear of the same year but all of a sudden rises the price to the peak recorded price of $20,000 by the late month of the year despite of the issue of China's pulling out of cryptocurrency engagement. Let's just see what will happen and do hope for the best to come in the year 2020 if the prediction might happen, if not, at least a price hike to happen even at the base of $20,000 will be good at all even not reaching the price prediction of $100,000 as expected.

Lots of speculations are near as we are nearing 2020. Many big names are trying to make a prediction so that they can get into the lime light of community. There is no real strong argument. We may see that price in 2020 with halving coming near.

2020 is just few hours away and we are thinking that bitcoin can reach $10,000 from here or go down to $5000. 5000 seems more achievable. $100,000 in my view is just a bullsh*t prediction,  lets not believe in predictions made by a criminal Ross Ulbricht.

I suggest there must be some penalty for the one who is predicting bitcoin price. In case the prediction went wrong, the one who is predicting the price must pay that penalty. I am sure we will have less number of such predictions. enough with these predictions

Everyone is dreaming about 100 000USD and more. But reaching such highs could be pretty difficult. We need approved ETFs, regulations and crypto-friendly countries and not bans from China and India.  ::)

I never dreamed of Bitcoin at 100K USD yet, but they are seeing Bitcoin at 100K USD in 2020! I don't know their motive! Is he mocking the Bitcoin price? Because these predictions are total bullshit! You can stand many opinions to say Bitcoin can hit 100K USD, yes, it can, but it is not possible this year!

Why not? During last halving and bullrun BTC has been moving from 200$ to 20k$. Now BTC 7k and the bottom was 3k. So its possible even 300k per BTC I think on next bullrun. But may be in 2021. And around 50-100k in 2020

I'm not affected by what he said, Bitcoin $ 100k in 2020 sounds like bullshit. I don't believe Bitcoin will be priced at $ 100k in 2020, I'm sure Bitcoin will be priced $ 100k/coin above the year 2021

You might be right and so is Ross because none of us know the actual price of what bitcoin new ATH will clinch. However, i believe Ross prediction was done mathematical not on the crypto market stance but if bitcoin does reach the $100K price, it dump and correction will be bloody.

It takes a lot more money to gain such a high marketcap, the lower the marketcap is, easier it is to move it. It isn't impossible but it just takes a lot of trust from investors.

Bitcoin can reach $100,000, if indeed it prove to be a hedge in the coming financial crisis, but the question his we have not seen BTC performance in a bear economy. Another thing to consider is the effect of regulation on Bitcoin, we have seen how Bitcoin performs in the wild, now so many products around it, we would like to see how it is going to perform

It is still too early to talk about this because I am sure this year will still be a normal year and will not have many highlights. I think the bear market will continue for a few more years and there will be very few opportunities for people to make money in this market by 2020.

However, if you are knowledgeable and have many investment plans then you will know how to use Bitcoin for each different period.

Anybody can share their predictions if they want too. Any Bitcoin Evangelists or experts can predict whenever they want.

Many have created their own predictions already but nothing seems to be right now. Maybe he said that statement because Bitcoin halving is fast approaching. I can share too that Bitcoin will just reach its past ATH last 2017. Many will be against me because I'm not bullish but I don't care :D. Anybody can predict whenever they want too :D.

it might make more sense to predict $ 100k by the end of 2020 and certainly easier to achieve than the 1 million dollar predictions coming from this guy John Mcafee, last year we almost went to touch $ 14k and maybe it would be very easy to bring us to $ 100 k at the end of 2020, but this is only an anticipation not a speculation or prediction from Ross Ulbricht, so take the positive from this person that is buying bitcoin from now on

following the credible predictions in the news and social media, I dont see any of them attach year to the $100k bitcoin bullrun value. $100k is the likely price for bitcoin coming early in 2020, wont give the cycle a proper accomplishment. looking at the trend for years beyond last bullrun, we might need more years or months for the delivery. It might not be the end of a year as expected and not in 2020 as well. Manage your expectation so you wont leave too early with little profit, look also at the space total marketcap, this could help one's decision.

Many personalities had thier speculation and prediction about the price bitcoin but no one gave the most accurate , cause most of thier prediction on the price of.bitcoin is above $100k., its already 2020 and bitcoin could not even break 8k how come it will lead to 100k.

I also will would like to do agree with you. Ross Ulbricht is a serious person who have worthy knowledge about this ecosystem and how it works and which factors could determine the future value. I also feel current year will be more interesting for the growth and adoption.

Sometimes I feel these predictions will bring more bad luck to the community rather than a news for normal people who dont know crypto yet. As the bitcoin halving is coming near we may see good volumes into the market and upward trend soon.

To be honest, if BTC becomes $100k this year I will be rather sad with myself, since I doubt I will be able to get my 1 BTC dream target. I am probably close to meeting my own long-time target of 0.5 BTC, but that would still be end of 2020. So maybe it happens, who knows? But that will be very difficult to grow, since it's tough enough to maintain a constant savings but anyway, having $50k worth of Bitcoin this year would be incredible for me!

that needs even a decade to reach that rate as why more people are still creating non sense prediction about the price of bitcoin. But i will hope that to happen in the future and i can see my credits coin will worth a lot of Money.
As long as they are feeling optimistic about bitcoin and what ever how much non sense rate that has already created by them and it's all good to be real

The main reason for people to come up with their prediction is simply because they will get the media attention they are looking for and if Ross made these prediction it is the same reason as he needs the outside world to know about his situation right now and i personally think that he needs to have a fair trial, the rest of the predictions are just a joke as it is not that easy to assume that the price would reach those valuation in the next five to ten years.

It is obvious that we are not going to reach that price during this year, if anything I will consider a great success for bitcoin if it reached once again its all time high and instead of crashing the price remained relatively stable, we need to see bitcoin reaching that all time high again so investors understand that it was not the result of a bubble that it will never repeat itself again and the best way for bitcoin to do exactly that is to reach the ATH again.

I think if Bitcoin can reach $100,000 surely make a lot of investors feel sad because they do not dare to put hope in this coin. In fact, there are many different predictions when it comes to this coin and I believe that Bitcoin will continue to grow this year so it is best to hold on while you still can.

In addition, some of the coins with good technology will increase in value with Bitcoin this year because these are coins that will definitely apply to our lives someday.

I dont believe on those prediction about the price, but i think they do have reason to make those predict. Everyone can still remember the last time bitcoins grow strong from 3k to 20k, that up for almost 7 times and seem bitcoin can always make us surprise.

remember that Bitcoin ever got pump more than 3x in 28 days, it happened from $ 6,000 to $ 13,000
it shows us that Bitcoin is very thin air, Bitcoin can be pump in short time
so, we just have to wait until its time, and we will see another crazy value from Bitcoin

although $ 100,000 is crazy value, but based on the history, I am still optimism it would.

Everyone has been thinking like you for the time being, but in order to do this, the market needs to experience the biggest growth phase this year and until now the crypto market has not had much major changes. Of course, $100,000 predictions can happen anytime but it's all theoretical and you should have more realistic thoughts because it's not always the case.

Personally, I can only predict the value of Bitcoin will only reach $30,000 in the next 5 years and will not believe in any predictions of others because those predictions are really risky for me.

Obviously, I still remember the miraculous stories that bitcoin could create, many times increasing in just a few years but looking back, it was just an increase from the relatively small initial prices, development becomes a relatively large price. Right now, bitcoin is already standing high, a rise like in the past is hard to repeat. Increases from $3k to $20k are acceptable but increases from $20k to $100k, it will be a new problem, there are not too many factors to pass this price, so this prediction is only attractive, not realistic.

It is everyone's dream to see bitcoin reach $100,000. You hold 1-10 bitcoins and you're already financially free with your life and enjoy the money you'll get from it.

Historically saying, $100,000 is plausible. People from 2011 to 2016 didn't even thought that bitcoin will hit $20,000 on 2017.

there is a lot of prediction to bitcoin price, but nothing happens.. I just wish that its price will come back to $20,000 and I will be dreaming to jump at $50,000...

This is somewhat true, there was a time i never thought that the price of bitcoin will not hold a price above a thousand dollars rather i thought we would see uneven rallies for a long time but things have changed drastically and the 2017 rally was expected but i never thought it will rise to the levels we saw, so the market is always unpredictable, i am expecting all these valuations but not anytime soon.

50k / 2022

Nailed it, I agree with your statement as we had been hearing about these unrealistic predictions from a long time but we had are struggling to stay above $8k as the market just dumps following slight pump so I don't think we could reach that figure and to be more reasonable I would be glad if the market hits $15k mark this year.

i am so gratefully if it really happen. I would not have a high expectation, because it will be hurt. for me in 2020 bitcoin will reach back at $19,000 its be more amazing for me. it just an opinion no base used such will halving happen, analysis by chart, or the great whale who would invest their money in bitcoin world.

It is unlikely that there will be a boom in the price of Bitcoin this year, it would be nice if this year Bitcoin reached a price of $ 15k-20k.

Another childish prediction. Even some people said Bitcoin will hit 50K at the end of 2018, and in reality, Bitcoin price hit 3400 USD! There is no such possibility that Bitcoin will hit 100K in the next 12 months, it's impossible. I believe we shouldn't create fake hype anymore.

I laugh when I see such unrealistic prediction

It is possible that bitcoin could reach $100,000 but can not be in 2020. Also, it might not get up to the amount but the price will increase significantly. The effect of bitcoin halving on bitcoin and altcoin is increase in price and holding coin now is the best.

This might look a bit like a child's prediction, but everyone also says that when the price of bitcoin is below $ 500.  for now, we just have to wait for that. we don't know where halving will bring the price of bitcoin. although it is quite difficult to believe this, but, I believe that the next halving will bring bitcoin at a high price.

Exactly, Bitcoin at 100k USD needs another decade, even I think this won't happen in the present decade. Prediction a higher price for Bitcoin is very easy, so, people keep saying Bitcoin at 100K, Bitcoin at 1 Million USD, I have a doubt about their practical knowledge about crypto. These persons are famous but yet they are making predictions like a crypto kid. 

I'll be happy if bitcoin will rise up to $10k again. There's do much of predictions from the past months that btc will go up but the opposite happened. Maybe we need more adaptors, investors, more crypto enthusiasts so btc value will go up.

Everybody can predict the price and someone will succeed. However, I would not take seriously the words of a person who has been in prison for several years and even if it once meant a lot to the development of Bitcoin, now, unfortunately, he has nothing to do with it.

You seem to be an early adopter of bitcoin. And that's the reality and mindset of everyone way back then and we can think of the same thing as we have right now. We're all thinking that it's unlikely to happen but comparing to the past pattern and charts of bitcoin, there really is a chance that it will happen. I'm holding onto that hope and a single bitcoin is already enough but if you want more, you can hold as many as you want until that day comes.

His words seem to have chance become true. Other experts also have similar theories:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-can-hit-50k-in-2020-very-easily-nexo-ceo-tells-bloomberg

If, according to an expert, the price easily reaches $50k in 2020, then the level of $100k is also in range.

Of course there's a chance for it, same with others prediction but the percentage of it is very low. I don't take others theory seriously even if they are called expert, expert or not, both of their theory isn't guaranteed especially those unrealistic predictions. Look at 2019, many of their theories has failed. That is just one example that no one can give an accurate prediction. So don't always believe in what you read even how many experts back up a one prediction.

the 100k usd figure is too big I think seeing the current price of bitcoin which is still around $ 7500. I don't think bitcoin will touch 50k usd by 2020 either. Now the market is different. I used to believe just a little push, the price will immediately go up. But now people are smarter in anticipating price movements

they only make their predictions based on speculation. although based on analysis but the market provides a different reality. then what about predictions over the past year that have mostly failed? do they come up with new predictions and new theories that will say this year will be the pinnacle of bitcoin? if it doesn't happen all this year they will say it next year. and continue like that.

People are smarter but they are same greedy as always. At the beginning of 2017, it never occurred to anyone that in a few months the price would rise from $1k to $20k, so 20x. Now we have $7.5k, it is possible that the price is not able to grow 20x, but 10xin my opinion is possible, so $ 75k is in the range.

If just $ 10,000 , I think it is very easy to reach. just matter of time
we have to be patient until its time comes. Never understimate how crazy Bitcoin is

Last bull run, we never expected Bitcoin would reach $ 19,000. But the market did opposite, many hype made Bitcoin reached it
I think the history would repeat again in the future, just believe it!

Today's people prefer to speculate and expect things that don't necessarily happen, and expectations like this have been happening since 2017 when bitcoin reached ATH. without any encouragement from the big whales I feel that the rise in the price of bitcoin or in the crypto market will be difficult to achieve, the community may be big but without the existence of "big whales" the community will not have a big impact on prices in the market.
nowdays, it is true that many people are greedy but these "big whales" actually like toying with the hopes and expectations of these greedy people. they broke everything and this greedy person is frustrated. and in fact there are some people who have felt frustrated with the conditions in these 2 years.
My prediction bitcoin this year will only reach the highest price at 30k usd, even this I still doubt.

I'd love to see Bitcoin's price of $100,000 this year, but unfortunately, it's not likely that Bitcoin will grow that much this year.

You have a point but that is not what I want to see, everyone wants to see the price of bitcoin reaching incredible levels and while it is obvious I am not going to complain if that happened since I will get incredible profits what I want the most out of bitcoin is that it reaches that ATH again but that it does not crash as it did back then, this will send the message to all investors around the world that this market is not a bubble and interestingly enough that could give us a chance to reach 100k in the future.

Besides Ross Ulbricht said that bitcoin will touch the price of 100k$ or 50k$ this year I think many people have predicted it, I can only hope that the prediction is correct after bitcoin halving occurs and wait bullrun.

It's not too much to believe that Bitcoin can reach $100k, not just this year, but even in the next couple of years Bitcoin is unlikely to grow so much.

he is a criminal by having a few cases and you still believe in the bullshit he said if bitcoin will reach the price of $ 100,000 in 2020 :D price of bitcoin reaches $ 20 000 as before in my opinion it's already very good
don't need to dream too high ;)

There are so many people who specifically talk about crypto to add to their popularity, you do not need to believe such people, you need to believe only yourself.

I still think it's illogical to speculate the price of bitcoin reaching 100k I can suggest 20-30k, and that would be stretching it. But a major factor to determine the price will be this year's halving, and some analysts are of the opinion that the forthcoming halving event has been priced in already and there may not be so much increase in the typical long-awaited bull run.

While on the surface it may seem to be a good idea to look for something else to invest other than in bitcoin at the same time I do not see a reason to do so, why I am going to invest in stocks or in traditional markets when bitcoin in average moves faster than those markets, and it doesn't make sense to invest in altcoins either because even if those coins can move faster than bitcoin the long term trend of those coins has been going down for years.

Don't underestimate the impact when the halving reducing selling pressure. We could easily rise to 20k before that and set it up for a nice run after.

I've heard predictions like this, long time ago. In fact, in the year 2017, I was one of those who believed that Bitcoin could increase to above $100,000, that was what necessitated my buying at a very high price. I won't be fooled again, the value of Bitcoin could increase to any extent, I'll stick to my budget.

As long as bitcoin wont reach 30k before halving ,$100k is only a dream. These predictions is somehow the reason why bitcoin cant touck $15k. So many predictions that is why crypto people dont know what to do,they dont know who to believe in.

i have marked the most important part of this article in bold.
it can be. but it does not have to be. and it can also go in a completely different direction.
basically i am currently but optimistic. 100k is a little bit exaggerated but a new ATH is quite realistic. 8)

It won't stop, despite the fact that almost every forecast of the future price of Bitcoin went drastically wrong. We also give people attention by discussing predictions there. Let's hope 2020 will bring happiness to all crypto traders but don't pursue these predictions. Crypto market has its own up and down mood and no one can predict it. All we know is that the overall trend is bullish.

The cryptocurrency market is a free market, and in addition a high risk market. Anything can happen with such a rapidly evolving technology. In a short time it may turn out that a new altcoin will be created, which will replace Bitcoin and the price will start to fall sharply, or Bitcoin will be so improved that the whole world will fall in love with it and the price will rise to $1M. Everyone can predict what he want, because it is just speculation.

It may or may not reach that price. As you already know, the market movements is very unpredictable. So every possibility is wide open.
I mean like, such predictions like them are pretty common. A lot of experts saying this and that. Well, we're still in the early stage of 2020. There are still a lot of days and moths left. So, let's see and wait whether what they're saying will come true or nay.

Does anyone know when is the next time Ross could appeal to the ruling? I mean we are talking about someone that is legally criminal and I understand but I can't be the only one that thinks it was a bit of "example" to give him such a bad punishment. Leaving that aside 100k is not really something that is doable for this year, people are forgetting how much money is required for that much increase and we don't have that much money involved in crypto just yet. Unless everyone leaves ALL altcoins and go for bitcoin, we are not going to see 100k just yet.

Hopefully, we will see it in this decade tho, even that is great, that is 10x increase in valuation inside 10 years which barely anyone offers so I still think he is right but just not on the timing part of it.

I have very little faith that Bitcoin can grow to $100k in 2020, so I believe that in a couple of years Bitcoin will grow to $100k.

You even Bitcoin value goes to 2000 million US dollars also but the fact and truth will make Bitcoin reaches good value but not goes in the myth way.
When was the Bitcoin investment richest good volume in the market and at the same time increasing the number of giant investors, the time we we find Bitcoin value goes to this.

To counter your statement first you need to think about the price of bitcoin getting over $10000 and then we can discuss about these huge rallies, i would be glad if the price rallies to these levels as i can make a lot of profit. I am not expecting the predictions to be available anytime soon but in the future i am expecting this to reach those levels in the next 5 to 10 years.

Almost all the prediction is for the better price so I don’t think people are confuse about it. I do agree on a part that we should be on a higher price before the halving so we can see more after that. Less in supply and increase on demand should have a bigger impact on bitcoin. I’m still on the sideways and I’m ready for anything with bitcoin, still the worst case scenario can still happen.

All should be referenced because this market usually never goes as expected and I never believe Bitcoin can reach $100,000 this year. I think everyone should predict the Bitcoin price at an acceptable level since this is a crypto market and is very different from other markets. Of course I would still choose to invest but will sell Bitcoin at $13,000 if the market is on an uptrend in the near future.

The last few days Bitcoin has been very stable and if maintain this stability, we will have a lot of hope when investing this year.

True, but $ 100K USD is also possible, because Bitcoin is difficult to predict. of course I will be very happy if Bitcoin can reach $ 100K USD in this year.
In January 2017 the price of Bitcoin is in the range of $ 1000 USD and in December 2017 the price of Bitcoin reaches $ 20,000 USD.

i think Bitcoin Will Likely Hit $50,000 In 2021 not at this year, and for $100.000 maybe next hardfork.
i can't imagine how hardest we can earning bitcoin from mining, bounty etc, if bitcoin reach $100.000, and how much we must pay transaction fee?
the bitcoin fee  arround 12 satoshis/byte for standart 2 output, maybe its can increase to 60-80 sathosi /byte during price rising

And that is the right thing to do, many people are trying to influence you, you must remember that every single person in the market is your opponent and they want you to lose money to them, so whenever you read a prediction specially one that comes from someone that is famous you need to ask yourself if they want you to do something that you do not want? It is better to follow our own strategy, even if I know that I am not as good as some traders out there at least I know my strategy can make money and that is enough for me.
