A small tip: when making your prediction, don't forget to include a link on your Facebook or Twitter share. This way we can pay you faster. If we aren't able to check this information, we'll pay to another participant who is closer than you.

What if an MIT scientist does participate? How would you know?
Just kidding. Posted my prediction.

Those are great prizes, I could use one for Xmas.
BTW, why there's no third prize?
Not worried about the third place, I want the first prize of course.

I wonder how close the closest prediction will be to the actual rate.
It can be very close actually, I would say within $ 0.5

What do you think?

Within 5 to 10 bucks is my guess. The price within two weeks can vary seriously.

BTW, I love the illustrations at Cointelegraph. The art is really cool.

A guy on Reddit says he’s taking part and is going to post a hundred predictions in small increments. Would you do it for 2 BTC?

Imagine that you get the second prize by posting 100 predictions.

That's $5 per post and would probably take you a couple of days.

And you should probably not be in a hurry - the later you post, the easier to guess.

within $ 0.5 - not a single chance, at least $5.
I'll follow this thread to find out.

i post my prediction and hope i will be the winner

Second place, maybe. $500 is not bad, really.
2 btc will be MINE!!

I'm in this one. good luck everyone and happy holidays.  ;D

Anyone here used Virtex?
The trading fees look pretty decent.

You guys have no chance, I'm getting both prizes.

A lot might change within 2 weeks. Not easy to win at all.

what if bitcoin become worthless worth just 10 usd is that mean second winner get more than first winner ???

Oh no, let's pray it doesn't happen.

I would buy some bitcoins at $10.

I used it a few times. One of my favorite exchanges.

If this happens, not winning this contest will be the last thing I'm worried about. :'(

Wow, 2 BTC & $500  ;D

But, i think it's bad idea to put the prediction at youtube.
A lot of people can abuse it by using multiple account

You better do it here, and with minimum post & no negative trust
And i hope bitcoin price not going down below $250  ;D

Posted my predicion below the video and shared the contest page in twitter  :)

Good luck everyone

Yeah, otherwise I would prefer the 2d prize over the 1st.

Thanks for the contest. How many predictions an I make?

Well I've read the rules and I see no restriction as far as the number of predictions per person is concerned. Which means I can make more than one, is that correct?

Cointelegraph, thanks for another cool contest, I think I'll follow you on twitter so I don't miss another one - you ARE going to have more contests, right?

I am in)

I think 366.

So try my luck)

you're joking, I hope.
I'm in and my say is $375

What if I posted my prediction before Dec, 5? Is it still good?

BTCand my predict : $418.82

I'm getting a little confused here - are we supposed to post it here as well?

Sounds like a good competition but i cant enter.
I don't use twitter and will never sign up to facebook, too intrusive, maybe you can change rules again so we can just list our prediction here  :-\
I didn't read anywhere what currency too write predictions in, im guessing USD?
Good luck to all!

Thanks for your feedback.
1) We'll think about this. We might add this opportunity if we see more people not wanting to display their Twitter/ Facebook account. I'd advise you to monitor activity in this thread.
2) All predictions should be made in USD.You can make as many predictions as you wish.
Keep in mind as stated in our rules that the date of sharing in social media should be the same as the date of your prediction.

Many thanks to the contest sponsor for such great prizes: 2 BTC from Virtex (https://virtex.com/) and CoinTelegraph (http://cointelegraph.com/) and US$500 from Egopay (https://www.egopay.com/)!

My thoughts exactly, please do change the rules!

is it From December 5 or Before?
I'm a bit confused haha

For you and others who hold a couple of coins..

let me predict
hey it will 387$ for sure
1LNuJWgcCvb3o7UdUW6HSbMG5RTBhk2iBU

5 to 10 bucks I think.

I just tweeted and submitted my entry  :)
BTW you should update the contest page, it still says only entries up to 5 Dec will be considered.

That's what I want to confirm - the rules are kind of hard to understand.

My prediction is 355. Wish me luck.

sir if we dont have twitter what to do?
is facebook was enough?

please say

Do not forget to share contest's page in Facebook or Twitter and post your prediction under the video!

Facebook is okay!
Check the rules: (http://cointelegraph.com/prediction-contest) "To take a part in this contest, simply share the contest page on Twitter or Facebook."
Maybe thereis some kind of misunderstanding!
Here is written: (http://cointelegraph.com/prediction-contest) "All predictions made in the comments under the article by December 5 will be eligible to take part in the contest."
Before December 5 some predictions were made under this article (http://cointelegraph.com/news/113044/time-to-play-ct-egopay-and-virtex-announce-price-prediction-contest) without being shared on Facebook or Twitter.
We then changed the rules, but those who made these predictions are ALSO allowed to take part in the contest.

Good luck, all!
Do not forget to follow the rules! We will check it!

Now, that's way more understandable, thanks

In 5 days there'll be no more predictions.
I guess I'll post a few more.

how the price is determined based on which site? and also by bid price or ask price?

Anyone here used virtex.com?

I think it will be $320 To $340

I changed LTC to $ with them a few times. Fast and easy, no problem.

That's a wide range, you need to be closer to win I think. Good luck though.

Thanks.

As it happens sometimes, some people leave lots of predictions, then someone with a single try gets lucky. You never can tell.

It's been going down for some time. $335 seems likely at the moment.

It will surely go up again before Christmas!

A smart thing to do would be wait until the last day you can predict
and post several predictions with increments up and down.

Don't thank me.

That's a hell of a plan!

I wouldn't be so sure about this.

wanna bet?

345 looks more likely at the moment.

Now we only have to wait until Christmas and see who wins.

It's going to be me!!!

I were late looking this contest  :(

It must be lucky guy and can figure out the exact BITCOIN price.

Anyway why exchange that act as a judge for Bitcoin Price ?
What if someone guess lower a bit than the exact result ?

I was late, too. Oh well. Good luck to participants.

no miss it that's how its going for me :(

Keeping my fingers crossed. I could really use 2BTC.
Though $500 also sound good.

Whoa, cool contest. Pity I just found out.

I too miss it. The price will be 419  ::)

No, way below 400

Whatever bitcoin costs, when do you think it's going to be normal to use it for everyone?

With Microsoft accepting it already and all?

Well more and more people understand the advantages of bitcoin. It's likely to happen sooner than we think.

You'll know it when bitcoin is accepted whenever us dollar is accepted.

What does it have to do with anything?
Is that a necessary condition?

Maybe it is not. I just mean it has to be as commonly used as popular fiat currencies.

I too miss it. The price will be 286

I don't think it's going to happen at all. For an average housewife to freely use bitcoin - its going to take ages from now.

I don't expect all housewives to use bitcoin and we don't need that for it to become widely used.

less than one week, and im still waiting for 1000 usd per bitcoin  ;D ;D ;D

maybe at 350$ : 1BTC

The closer to the approaching Xmas, the more nervous I get. Two of the predictions I'd made look competitive.

im late right?  ???

All sorts of predictions are given, I'm kind of nervous the sooner it gets.

I thought you could only make one prediction

I have seen no prohibition to making more than one in the rules - have you?

It says prediction, not prediction(s) so I'm guessing you're allowed to make one prediction only

Ok, let's see what happens.

lol

How hard can it be to trace him unless he has 100 different BTC address..I don't think he can get away with it. They'll probably disqualify him. It's unfair to the guy who is playing by the rules. Imagine 100 people posting 100 predictions each.  :P

no more predictions are being accepted? that's BS   >:(

100 predictions - that does not seem fair

1BTC = $345

Lol. He should have submitted a prediction before 15th of december.

Sorry to say that, but you're kinda late with this.

I guesses 321 but I was late.  >:(..seems like I would've won

It's easy to guess now when we're so close ;)

oh darn i missed this one...

It's Cointelegraph's second contest within a month - they might start another one soon, better luck next time pal.

Well it's about time to post the results. I know I'm not winning but I'm curious to know how it all went.

As for the person of the year, I voted for Vitalik Buterin - you guys have any idea what the guy' s done? And what he's planning to do?

No idea how I missed this Buterin guy - he looks impressive, however my choice is Mr. Antonopoulos.

I wonder what it takes to be nominated the company of the year.

Hey, please let us know who won! It's time we knew who gets the prizes!

Damn I was close.
They've got the WINNER (http://cointelegraph.com/news/113194/an-reo-and-raduque-ak-win-cointelegraphs-christmas-price-prediction-contest-with-virtex-and-egopay)

They say "Unfortunately, several closer predictions we received were unfortunately disqualified."  Mine wasn't one of them, but still...

Better luck to me next time.

Cointelegraph has another great  CONTEST (http://cointelegraph.com/news/113194/an-reo-and-raduque-ak-win-cointelegraphs-christmas-price-prediction-contest-with-virtex-and-egopay)

I mean the one with free tickets to London Bitcoin Expo.

i missed this :/

I was pretty close but looks I got disqualified.

I predicted 352, was a little too optimistic. Congratulations to the winners though

Looks like I was disqualified - no idea why.

congrats for the winner but i miss my guess...

Same here
