If anything I'd expect its price to drop from now based on the macro conditions / general recovery.

The increasing stability and lack of apparent adoption will drive short-term speculators keen for a quick $£€ away, causing the price drop.

Lack of adoption? 

The Winklevoss fund is about to be listed on NASDAQ. 

Bitpay has a huge announcement coming soon. 

Coinbase and Xapo have hinted that Mastercard is coming soon.

First of all, creating a new security can take many years. Second, there is no indication by the SEC that it'll be approved. Third, this is not actually adoption, because people buying this can't actually use any real bitcoins and be part of the bitcoin economy. It is only for price speculation, like a CFD.

Bitpay has a huge announcement coming soon.
an announcement about a future announcement about an unknown subject is not even worthy of discussion. that reminds me of mtgox...

Coinbase and Xapo have hinted that Mastercard is coming soon.
hinted?? and this news would hardly qualify as adoption. It will become slightly easier to use coinbase, which already exists - that's not a quantum leap in adoption

Even if it goes up to 1k again and stabilizes there by the end of 2014 i'll call it another good year for btc ..! expecting 5k or 10k is asking for too much, but we never know what to expect from btc  , only time will tell although nothing much positive happening these days and the market is stable from last 3weeks.

I think this is the year of chinese ban, so they will keep manipulating the market and makes everyone fells like we are about a huge fall due to possible chinese ban, so better wait the fall before buy(and keep waiting every fake chinese ban or manipulation)

Careful with that one, it's a double bet. If btc-e goes gox the bet resolves as a no whatever the price is. Primary reason I did not bet on it while I did bet on the 10k one.

They've already been working on it for almost a year.  Second, many observers felt that this week's announcement by the SEC is virtual certainty that it will happen.  The more people that put their money in bitcoin, the more they obviously trust it.  It is adoption whether you choose to see it or not.

I think Bitpay has a much better reputation than Mt. Gox.  The fact that it is not a rumor but that they tweeted it themselves is a big deal.

Obviously, you understand nothing about network effects and their influence on adoption.

TERA was giving a more balanced opinion than 90% of the ones expressed on this forum. A lot of people have their interests in BTC increasing in value, myself included. At the same time, it is important to consider the facts... $5000 before the end of this year is ridiculously optimistic.

Yeah I know, surely there must be few people that fancy a 2:1 on the chance of BTC-e folding!

(I'm blatently pimping the NO side cos I'm mostly the whole of the yes side ;) )

The wording on the bet is clear that if BTCE folds it resolves no. Which I thought made for an interesting twist. I can't believe there isn't more on the no side at the moment. easy money for all the bears out there surely ;)

5k is a pipe dream right now

Adoption metrics more important than price right now

Well, then you should go back and read his old posts and predictions and see what came true.  He was just as bearish last year, telling people to sell at $200 because it was going back down right before it went to $1200.

But hey, trust whoever you like.  It's your money and your decision.

Maybe not before the year ends, in fact probably not, but it's likely to go over $5000 at some point http://www.usacryptocoins.com/thecryptocurrencytimes/uncategorized/the-past-and-future-of-bitcoins-price/

That post was a few days ago for the record. I bet if I bought some Bitcoin and held onto it for more than 10 minutes the price would collapse.

I speak for a large portion of the community when I plead with you to please do that! Seriously. Collapse it down to $100...thanks!

if by the end of the year, it reaches $1,000 only.. it will be a historical anomaly. year to year, at least up to 2013, bitcoin has been strongly bullish. imo, if by year's end, it doesn't reach a new high.. people cannot blindly say "it's bound to head to the moon" anymore.

Actually, the side with NO on it has 2.88 and YES has 5.54 on it. The bet defaults to NO if BTC-e goes down. Despite that, more bitcoin has been placed on YES. 1 bitcoin placed on NO would return 2.17 bitcoin (1.17 profit) , assuming no more bets were placed after that.

notice how all these accounts that were created specifically to pump the price have all since vanished? My guess is that they were on the Winklevoss payroll, but now that it seems that the ETF will be shot down, they've given up.

^ There's still time, so don't do anything stupid. ;D Who knows, maybe some good news await us: I hear at least one country is introducing a country wide digital currency at the end of the year (that could bring Bitcoin some more exposure), and maybe a couple other places accepting/planning to accept it might give the price a boost.
