Bitcoin Forum

 In my opinion, I think it would be best if the price stayed the same as the current price. It would give more stability and people would start to trust in Bitcoin a lot more.

Some might say otherwise. What do you think?

same, 300-400

I think it won't change much, we will certainly not see $1000 if that's what people are thinking and hoping for.

It will swing between $250 - $500 There will be a lot opportunities to make good profit :)

Dont you think it's better to have the price in 300-400 range rather than sky scraping in 1000 mark?

It might be possible that it remains the same, but its hard to say, that it will be so for the entire year. Bitcoin prices have never been stable over 1 full year before, there are always events which either affect the price in a negative way or a positive way causing swings. These swings have made the price vary by upto 200-300$.

The tiny market cap and subsequent lack of liquidity limits its use to transfer mass amounts of value as a currency should. Volatility is just one of many of the results of a small market cap.

The sooner market cap grows by 10x and 100x, the better. Volatility is a result, not a cause. So please shut the fuck up about "stability" at $300-$400, because corporations will not even think about touching bitcoin at this point or using it for remittances. A whale with a mere million dollars can manipulate the price easily as at this point. If the price stays this low for good, then bitcoin has FAILED

I would like to see the chart follow the mining rate as it should. This would mean a steady rise (no bubble).
Stability will not hold, someday either miners will quit or hodl. The reasonable reaction in both situations would be an increase.

What makes you think corporations and banks will seriously think about touching Bitcoin (or cryptos in general) that they can't control? Oh wait, I get it, because pumpers told you so. Not gonna happen, Bitcoin and other cryptos are not for corporations, but for people. If people don't want Bitcoin or other cryptos, then cryptos are useless. If you wait for corporations to somehow convince people to buy Bitcoin and use it, well think again. Without unique use cases Bitcoin or any other crypto currency is doomed. Whatever solutions corporations can offer are centralized and they go against the principles of crypto currencies, that's why corporations are irrelevant.

That's the beauty of a free market, that what today seems low, can tomorrow be way too expensive, and vice versa.

The price doesn't really matter that much, stability will come once we get rid of very short term investors, early adopters, etc.

But that will take many years, time will tell :)

Uhhh..... corporations can save millions of dollars by using bitcoin as a global money transmitter, that's one of the simplest and most obvious "unique" use cases for bitcoin

I've heard this general statement many times, but I don't think those who say it actually have a clue what they are talking about. Corporations don't pay those costs anyway, their customers pay the fees. Customers would have to purchase Bitcoins and pay a fee too, so what difference does it make? This saving of millions of dollars doesn't make sense, especially because Bitcoin is so volatile, you buy a few Bitcoins and you don't know whether their value would still be the same tomorrow or you will lose a few dollars before you can spend those Bitcoins. In short, this corporations will save Bitcoin bullshit is just another myth. One more myth: Bitcoin ETF from twin brothers will help drive the price. Crypto currencies are for the people and by the people, forget corporations.

On this forum, either you're a kool-aid drinking believer, or you're banned :) Ask fallllling (except you can't, because he was banned for being right).

I'd hope the ban came around from being dull, repetitive and spammy rather than any ideology.

transmigration of bitcoin price.

Why should any new investor want to invest in something so volatile. They will not be encouraged if they see the price faltering all the time. So steady is the way to go about it.

I hope you do not have any illusions that price to the moon.

the market cap has to be high enough for corporations to use on a larger scale and more volume, as well as downchain in the supply lines..they are interested, Overstock is a good example, but staying in this range it will always be small. bitcoin may be for the people, but if corporations dont sign on hardcore the people will not realize any value from it..

$60-120, maybe lower. Under 200 is a near certainty. Why ? Because noone outside the cult gives 2 shits about bitcoin in the real world. Or thinks it's a scam.

Price action the past few years has been fueled exclusively by speculators who also dont give a shit except having a greater fool lying in wait to sell to. Delusional peeps around here still dont even acknowledge the bubble lol. 2015 is gonna make 2014 look like a walk in the park. Check back in 6 months.

youre wrong. it is a very useful payment system. Just because you dont need to transfer money - doesnt mean other people dont need such a service..

Way cheaper than western union.

Way faster than western union as well. Actually bitcoin is awesome payment method for us who use internet a lot for buying products.

Exactly.

Lots of other trollbears don't get banned.

Yes they do.
Haven't you noticed that the names of the bears keep changing, yet the same old permabulls have been posting about guaranteed rises and advising people to invest everything they have in BTC for years on end?

These polls are used to identify the bears, and then they are banned.
Anyone who votes negatively in any 4 consecutive polls, is blocked.

You're missing 101%-499% Up.
