Make your prediction for the peak Bitcoin USD price of 2015.

The next 12 months are critical.

315.

485 USD

$6,000

9.000 - 12.000 EUR/BTC

$501-600

320 USD

$600+


Why the next 12 months? Personally I think bitcoin could take a couple of years to find its footing but expect great things after that.

Not much of a clue. Going above $600 and staying there would be a worthy reward for our suffering. Anything beyond is a bonus.

I personally think 600-700. I don't expect it to grow insanely fast.

A little history is in order here. The low in 2012 was close to 4 USD. The high in 2013 was approximately 300x  that amount. So 50000+ USD is actually well within the realm of possibilities here.

Would you pay more than 50,000 dollars for a Bitcoin? Do you know anyone who would?

i would if everyone would pay that much like now we pay 300 dollars normally while in past it was 1 dollar

It all depends on the time frame. Some of these traders would not even pay 0.60 USD for 1 XBT just over three years ago.

Now for the real fun we had New Liberty Standard selling 1 XBT for under 0.001 USD in early 2010.

WTF is XBT?

I think it's another name for bitcoin, a bit like BTC.

50,000$. 10/10. 100%! ♥

XBT is a currency code for Bitcoin that has a realistic chance of being accepted an an ISO code. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148229.0;all (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148229.0;all)

Interesting how many people think it's going to $50000+.

Interesting is you thinking they're not trolling.

There are not so much outcomes.
a) $50000+  (maybe only 200,000 believers believe)
b) $0  ( there are almost 7,000,000,000 unbelievers ) :-)


Edit:
 I do not think it will be this year. (I did not read thread title. just responded )

U should have some lower range for vote as well, like right now, the price is standing at 300 USD.

Being mid or long-term optimistic while remaining realistic. I'll go and say $2900, but I currently doubt this is going to be the case before Fall/Winter 2015... If the run-up doesn't come until March/April, I doubt we will see serious action over the summer. Summers are always dull!

Are they? Count my vote amongst them. I'm not.

I think we are going to see prices around $6000 this year. It may still take some time, but I am optimistic and nothing can shatter this. If I listened to all the FUD that is going around these days, my portfolio would look pretty devastated now...

$4800 easily

1000$

I think before we have another bubble, people have to be convinced there won't be a bubble.  At the same time, the bearishness right now is pretty potent, so there should be rally soon.

So I think in 2012, we'll reach a peak around the prior all-time high ($1200) and then drop back down to $500-600.  That'll result in 2 years with no bubble at which time nobody will expect a bubble.  That will create the raw ingredients for a bubble in 2016.

This basically remains the highest price so far. The price on Bitstamp was 320 at 1am on 1st January 2015, and has not reached that level since.
Not a great year so far.
