Bitcoin Forum

This is the key question for speculators. So what is your prediction for the high of 2015?

Voted for $500-$750

With current price being around $350 level I think $500-$750 is a more than decent gain.

I voted the same, but I thought it was quite a bearish answer. Given the natural volatility of BTC, it could easily rise above 500 without any 'moonage'

2015 will be a big year for Bitcoin.  Microsoft just busted down the door for merchant adoption which should ramp up quickly.  This in turn gives legitimacy to Bitcoin as not just a currency for dark markets.  When more and more BIG companies start accepting Bitcoin, mainstream will start to take notice and wonder more about Bitcoin.  As soon as I actually learned what Bitcoin was, I was sold as I believe many more will be as well.

Can't see it going over $400 at all.


People said exactly this last year and I'm sure will be saying it about every new year.

Ain't got a clue.

The things that we thought might happen in 2014 - ETF, non piece of shit exchange, solid regulations for financial types - are likely to come to fruition next year.

If merchants want more of the public on board, then they're going to have to start incentivising BTC's use. It's great for them. Next year they'll need to make it great for their customers. Most of them are flirting with it right now. 2015 is when they'll get serious with it if they're in it for the long term.

I think it'll be a good year.



 

voted 400-500 any prize for winners?

I think in the 2015 the price will be ~ $750-$1,000 , and will rise above the $ 1500 when the block reward will be 12.5 BTC .

$400-$500 ...and i'll keep mining.  8)

I have read somewhere that price most likely will be higher than 1,5k however I guess it must be at least 700

There is no point to vote soon. First the market has to find THE bottom, then we'll have an idea how long it takes to build the new bull market.

5k

Voted for $750-$1500, just as a pure guess.  Realistically, we'll have to surpass $400 first, since we're still in this $350-$400 sideways pattern.

Once we break this $400 price again and the COIN ETF launches all bets are off.

I think it'll follow roughly the same pattern it did this year. A few peaks and troughs but nothing major.

I disagree - this year has been trending down from the last insane bubble towards the bottom.  Once we actually find it, I think things are going to get very interesting, and probably very quickly.

I'll say 2k

I voted $400-$500.  My vote was based on putting my mouse over the options, closing my eyes, moving the mouse up and down for a few seconds, and then clicking.  Take my analysis for what it's worth.

as is your wont. you will most likely be quite correct, i've noticed.

vote for $400-$500,i hope my prediction miss,because i want bitcoin reach to price $1000

I vote for $500 - $750, because i'm sure few big company will accept bitcoin too.
And because bitcoin difficult recently went down

$294. (This is a price we'll hit sometime in the first half of January.)

All-year low will be $40. (This occurs in December.)


I'm probably way too bullish though. I guess I never learn.

This is a poll about the highest price in 2015, by the way, not the lowest.

Don't have a clue about the highest price, but I predict a black swan event will move move the price in a major way in 2015.

The bull is strong in you. By December next year you will have to pay someone money to take your bitcoins off your hands, a bit like paying the binman to get rid of your rubbish.

600 a 700

I predict a 1000 1500 $
I'm excited for this ,meanwhile I accumulated

for me $750-$1,000. The reasons are the same as you pointed

an year should be in the range 2k+

Voted for 5k-10k, could also be in 2k-5k or 10k+ range depending on how things will go.

Voted for $1,000-$2,000

voted the same.

seems only a dream reach 2000-5000 dollars

It seems the peak price so far in 2015 was USD 321 at 1am on 1 January 2015.
2015 has not been a kind year for BTC so far.

Any new predictions for the peak price in 2015? Or are we sticking with 321?

$400-$500. I think we will be spending most of 2015 moving sideways, with a bit of fluctuation. I think we will hit the all year high in late 2015.

So far this first quarter I've been WAAYYYYY OFF!   :'(

NO fear, I stick to my word for better of worse, as we still have alot of good things in the pipeline that could potentially give us the price spike we need. 

Have yet to see the NY Bitlicense pass, the aftermath of the 50000 BTC SR auction, the Gemini launch, the COIN ETF launch, and more and more to come.

1 btc = 35,000 tons latinum by year end

Thanks for putting up a decent poll with realistic figures, that other one topped out at $1k was no good.

I think 500-750$

I'd say $700 though I fear I may be being optimistic. I suppose it depends on what merchant adoption we get over the course of the year. I'd be happy with 400-500 though. I just hope it doesn't go any lower than it currently is.

I will go with $1600 on this one. I don't think it will stay there for very long though.

I voted $400-500 range, as I see more of the horizontal trend ahead. We are looking for the bottom and it takes a while to find it. I also don't see many important developments coming in 2015, let alone something unexpected, that would have the potential to shoot the price upwards. All rather points to the year 2016, when halving happens, as the more probable 'fireworks time'.  

I voted the same as uki, we will slowly go up to $500. This would be a slow healthy rise. The longer it takes for BTC to crawl up the stronger the support will be once somebody tries to bring it down ;)

well thats quite optimistic statement to give, there would have to be something insanely huge happening to bring us up to that price.
while its hard to predict what will happen next with bitcoin volatility affected with every new information, i would still say that 500-ish is quite realistic, wouldnt count on more than that to happen,
atleast not by this years end.

cheers

$450

I will actually be happy with that!

That's true, but in their defense, they've been right every single year.

I think $500 If you need good profit, buy and forget them for some months,year.

I voted for $2,000-$5,000 range

why?

why not

The price will be sky high and hit $10,000

Sure. In the other thread  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=924024.120)you just mentioned $1000. It seems like your crystal ball needs cleaning.

The price has to stabilize first. Then it will grow. Slowly at first. I don't expect huge numbers this year. Max 400$.

Vote for $450.
I think this mar still hit around $300 no more.

December 31st, 2015: $352 USD/BTC

Questoin: What will be the highest USD price of Bitcoin at any point in 2015? Reading comprehension is your friend.

I'm gonna go with 1,800 just a wild guess.

The highest price at any point will be $352 on December 31st, 2015. Spend less time trying to be an internet dick. My comment was valid and within all contexts of this thread. I will waste no more lines on you.

i think somewhere between 500-750$, i m not expecting  big pump before next halving

1k-2k, but it could be much higher, however i don't expect a big pump, but more of a mini-pump/steady rise

I'd say there are a lot of wildly optimistic people on this thread.  While I'd love to see $1,000+ the price action has not been that favorable.

So how do you feel now?
The highest price in 2015 remain Jan 1st
when will that change?

Wow, I voted $10000 on this? What an arrogant bulltard.
I'm now inclined towards the 700/800 range, and I think we'll see $5000 in 2016.

Voted on 1000-2000, it's only start of the year and i belive we are getting back on track.

I love that so many see the price to be over 2k$

But reality is that it wont be higher than 500$ max.

Ofc I hope that it will go a lot higher, but I just dont think its possible.

i voted $500-$750 as i think it is quite reasonable. it's going to be a bullish year.
of course it's just a prediction but not one that certainly is a decent one.

This year: 500-600
Next year: 2000-3000
2017: MooOOOoooOOooOOOoOOoon

After seeing the poll results. I tend to believe $300-$400 will be the high in 2015!

I believe we'll peak at about $3'500 now. I know it sounds almost unrealistic at this point, but hey, it's just what I believe is going to happen, man. Please don't take this as trading advice.

Agree. that is why I voted $400-500 range. I simply don't see it higher this year. 2015 is a base-building year and the preparation for the next halving event. the real fireworks are to be expected next year, not this one.

I'm also expecting the halving to have some effect but have similarly heard a lot from others about expectations for halving - wouldn't that mean that it's likely that the buying for those popular expectations happens far earlier than the actual event?

I think the halving and the ETFs coming online will be the two next major events, but the timing of the latter is also unknown.

$400-$500 seems like reasonable growth from now until the end of the year, I've just never known BTC's price to do anything in a reasonable manner for long before it goes apeshit one way or the other.

I think we can forgot about 1'000 dollars, not in these 5 years.Maybe when the block reward will be less than 0.50 btc I think we can start thing 1k dollars/btc.
A simple question, do you buy 1 btc for 1000 dollars? A question for all the forum users.

Of course I'd be delighted to if btc traded for 10k normally.

I can't understand the minds of people who ask such silly questions.

Plenty of people did once upon a time. When there's a compelling reason to do so, plenty will again.

We've seen the highest price already.

I predict the high will be at around $500 to $1000 this year.

I'll buy BTC 5 figures and not for day trading purposes either. Breaking 10k will be a process though.

I am fairly sure the bottom will be somewhere between $230 and $250 or so. We are likely to see a large rally within a few months at most.

I think the $2000~$5000 is likely to happen somewhere this year. Higher is possible, but I am not so sure it will happen this year. Maybe next year if there's a 'double-bubble' (which could also happen around the end of the year if the next peak will be before summer).

I'll say $720

The peak price so far in 2015 remains USD 321 at 1am on 1 January 2015.
The July peak just didn't quite break through.
Any new predictions for the AYH of 2015? Or will it be 321?

I think we might reach a higher value than the january value for at least a short while this year. But probably not too much more, I would guess that it will be under $400/coin. Which is a good thing, because more time to accumulate.
