Bitcoin Forum

Juniper Research has their say about it:
http://bitforum.info/t/juniper-research-predicts-where-will-bitcoin-be-in-two-years/286/1

With all the good news about Bitcoin, I am sure they're up to something good in 2 years.

Andreas thinks so too..
http://bitforum.info/t/give-bitcoin-two-years-said-andreas-antonopoulos/247

How about you? What do you think?

Well! Juniper is right !
Bitcoin is here to stay!

2 years is a perfect time for tons of things to happen. No one knows but systems like BTC naturally will get a positive outcome.

i dont care if the price rise more or fall more but it should be stable once its stable more businesses will use it currently its not stable 100$ fall in a month , anyways

In two years Gemini will be operative for a while and old money will flock in making the price sky rocket. Enjoy the gains my friends.

I have my small cache of bitcoins stashed away.
Won't be taking it out for another 2 years at least. Hope all those predictions come true.  :)

Next two years will be most important for Bitcoin. We will see that decentralised exchanges, new regulations and hopefully lot of new services. If all that goes well, Bitcoin will take off in next years big time. Also, in my opinion, Bitcoin must become more simple to use and store before wider addoption.

The decentralised exchanges are a HUGE part of this, especially with the hacking and "hacking" going on.
What would make bitcoin simpler to use in your opinion?

I just want to see that most reputed websites like Google, Amazon, Ebay implementing bitcoins as a payment option. It will really be beneficial for me and others as well who want to pay via bitcoins and avoid huge fee.

My bitcoins will probably still be sitting there, stuck, unused in the same old wallet.

 :(

For now, new user must google and research for days just to master basics like making paper wallet, deciding which wallet will fit his needs best, where to buy or sell and to get general idea about security. Idk how to make all that simple but we should work on that problem cause I dont think Bitcoin will go mainstream before we make it simple as using credit card. Average joe will not hang on bitcointalk, he want just to use bitcoins and that is it.

Multi-sig is cool and so are HD wallets.

I like what Andreas said :D


Hell Yeah! Go to da moon :D
i will hold my half coin for 2 years!

You forgot to add "appreciating in value".  :)

I think that bitcoin should stabilise by then. The volatility is a big bane in driving adoption atm. Price stability should lead to more adoption of bitcoin and more adoption and limited supply, means that the price is bound to rise. I don't see the price going much beyond $500 though as the initial hype around bitcoin seems to have vanished already. Looks like all the speculators in bitcoin are already out of the game, which surprisingly, is a good thing for bitcoin. We need adopters and not speculators. I know that i will still have my small stash of 4 bitcoins, or maybe even more by then!  ;D

I have been playing for 2 years bitcoin, bitcoin is decreased and the results did not change so good, and unstable  :-[

I just hope the price stable at $450 -  $500

I agree. Bitcoin in general is still largely unknown. By then hope to see improved infrastructure, wider adoption and that is especially after the halving

I think it'll take a lot longer for bitcoin to stabilize than 2 years sadly. I think it's going to be a wild ride of jumps and crashes for the considerable future, though I hope at some point it will flatten out. I think it would do if we achieved its peak mainstream adoption but this could take a very long time if ever. One thing for sure is its going to be an exciting future to see what actually happens.

Well... it took a few months for BTC to dump to where it is at the moment. 2 years should be enough time to see a fair rebound imo. By stabilising, i meant stabilising around the $500 mark. I do not think that it will be that difficult to get there in the coming 2 years. The wild jumps and crashes you speak about could be due to cartels and banks who do not want btc to succeed. My suggestion to everyone on here is to buy on dumps and stock up. Do not let bitcoin fall into the hands of the banks and cartels who only want to see the fall of bitcoin. I know that 2 years later, i will have 4 bitcoins still in my wallet for sure  ;D.

As Ive said Bitcoin is here to stay..
2 years is not enough..

I think it is less volatility that is causing the rate of increased adoption to decline so much that the price is simply gradually falling.

Take for example early 2014, the price was much less stable then than it is now however the price was both much higher and was both increasing and decreasing

Bitcoin will still be in our minds.As long as we remember it.

Sorry... I couldn't resist.

Lol what? Bitcoin is a crypto-currency so it cant go to the graveyard besides Satoshi might go there pne day but no one knows his religion ::)
I hope Bitcoins will still be use even after the death of Satoshi

For all you know, Satoshi could remain anonymous till his end. :)

Bitcoin isn't going away, its here to stay  :D

How can we be sure that Satoshi isn't dead already?

we finished goin over that its skynet.. having the open source human think of new axiom for IT

We can't know he future but for the moment bitcoin is still here :D

In two years? Bitcoin will have grown in acceptance and it will be trading under $100.

I can`t tell you where Bitcoin will be in terms of usage, acceptance and price. But I am sure that Bitcoins will be in computers and Blockchain in two years.

I'm just starting out, but don't want all the scams to ruin btc before I can really get started.

Lol. It will be trading around $285 at least. If $100 or less in two years, btc is basically dead.
Miners say around $85-$90 is dead zone. Price must go up, or btc is over and failed experiment.

Miners can say what they want now but how would they know what kind of hash is on btc in 2 years? Thus what kind of price can be justified?

If you want Bitcoin to be what it was intended to be, then less than $100 in two years, especially after the halving of 2016, would be a failure.

Miners will see their rewards in 2 years asuming they dont get scared and panicsell.

Idk, anyone could be Satoshi.

The question is very unclear, as its not clear what does it ask . Price/Adoption/usage/or technology wise ?
But overall, I think we have a lot of new developments coming out, like the ATH.
And with all these, the adoption would increase as well.

Maybe still fighting to survive..
Adoption still is less.

where will bitcoin be in 2 years?.... block 449517  :D

That's a pretty good one
but how exactly did you calculated the exact block ? :-\

Bitcoin will still be here. In what state nobody knows and we can only wait and see. I think it will be stronger than it is now, though.


How do you know what adoption is going to be like in 2 years time?

As there is no center to Bitcoin, I am sure it will be all around the Internet and the world! I don't think it would be moved to a particular place. ;D

They are very bullish but I think it is very hard to predict where Bitcoin would be. It is like predicting where Samsung will be in 10 years.

Samsung isn't unstable like Bitcoin. 'Where Samsung would be' can be predicted but not so easily. A simple and effective one to use there will be 'when we will die' ::)

   -MZ

According to me btc will be somewhere un outerspace too in coming years..
I.e. nasa will be using btc to pay astronauts and their clients!
Btc is the future! 0:)

thehhe... It will be at that block and diff will massively shocking at that point wonder who will end up mining at that point and I wonder where asics going to be in 2 years no doubt need equipment blasted out into space to keep temps down.

Lol the dollar will still be #1 in 2 years. Bitcoin will be huge by then tho. Andreas wouldn't risk his reputation with a random prediction.

one block every 10 min. So number of blocks calculated, then 2 years from now current block + calculated

still in the same place we are today.  speculating on where it will be in the future.

My guess is we will be in the $1k to $2k range in 2 years time

The tech stack will be proven out, there will be a plethora of really useful blockchain apps
Value is anybody's guess but likely much, much higher than it is today

I really hope that you are right but now this is just our hope and speculation.
We need more ''big'' merchants to accept bitcoin in next 2 years so that people can use their btc for buying more and more digital products, not mainly for investing, what is situation now.
This will stabilize the value of bitcoin and increase confidence of its users.

i dont get it , you just showed a picture showing its already on the moon , so what is it you think will happen in 2 years?

Look at the question above the image. That explains it!

   -MZ

and a great number of people will doubt it. just like the moon landing :D

Bitcoin will keep on living. Bitcoin is there for already more than 5 years now.
I don't see a reason why bitcoin should die. I think Bitcoin is one of the only who will keep on living.
Of course the price will go up or down from time to time, but that is also this way with gold, everything at the downjones.
The price within two years is not to predict, if it was, we should all be rich.

I think after 2 years we will remain at $250-300.

In two years, it will be much easier and less time consuming to answer the question, "where won't bitcoin be?"

In just some years we will see bitcoin a little stable if these exchange don't go falling so soon as it has been happening

Bitcoin will never be stable. The past week has been the only and the most stable week of its existence :P

where will be bitcoins in 2 years ? i can assure you some of them will be in my pocket :D just kidding well time will tell where bitcoins will be after 2 years

it have to be stable and it will , if it will not them big companies are not gonna use bitcoins as a payment option because of chances for a huge loss in a day

I see BTC kinda stable in 2 years from now...It is possible.. as BTC is growing..n being adopted everywhere..

Bitcoin has what it takes to grow and be more adopted when the fiat system shows its weaknesses.

In 2 years: to be or not to be---to live intensively and richly, or merely to exist.

Very well said :)
In Internet age 2 years are like 200 years before.
So, if Bitcoin don't become mainstream in 2 years, globally accepted by average people and many merchants, i don't see future for bTC.
Some other virtual currency will take the lead.

I honestly hope Bitcoin is around in 2 years.  It took the Internet about 20 years or so, before the world wide web became a thing, and AOL and 56K modems and Yahoo finally took off.

If we can stick around for 2 more, continue on an uptrend path, grow and mature on acceptance and adoption levels, then this very well could be gentlemen...

Yeah bitcoin is still growing and it needs time to settle

So seems you were some blocks less , since 2016 is a leap year :)

People wont be using bitcoin, like people don't use Altavista now.

No one can tell the price but surely the price will ve higher but now the butcoins is dropping / upping . It varies . Its like water

Altavista was a search engine, bad comparison.  Bitcoin is both a Cryptocurrency and Protocol network.

Maybe compare Appletalk or Novell NWLink IPX/SPX to it.  Or say something like People won't be using bitcoin, like people don't use hashcash now.

You have to make an apples to apples comparison, not just throw something out there for the hell of it.

I believe the ecosystem will have grown and matured by then. There will be insured exchanges that are far more trustworthy than today. I think 75% of the mining pools will have changed by then and there will be almost no mining for the regular customer anymore - it won't be profitable anymore!
I think the price will be at $7000.

I used to think the exact same, yet with all the developments in crypto, I think it's not so certain anymore....

That's just delusional.
"People wont be using TCP/IP" same shit.

People don't even know what TCP/IP is.

With stable am implying that it will not be affected by small things when the community grows large enough
Tough it is true it will never be stable

In the same place, but bigger of course.

And in some other places too, I'm sure

When Andreas talks, he can convince everyone. Even if he doesnt talk. He looks like Borat.
You know Borat?

Well he convinced me that the film was not scripted. Just like Andreas. Very convincing face.

Anywhere it may end up in two years, one thing is almost certain: the rollercoaster rides in between. Bitcoin never fails!

i am wondering what the plans of winklevoss twins will do for bitcoin if they have success.
gemini is something that can have a large impact on bitcoin.

Somewhere between Jupiter and Venus

It will still be in mine and many other peoples wallets  :o No on a serious one i believe it will be accepted in many more places than it currently is, what i try to imagine will the price increase because a wider population adopting it and i really do not know lol i have a feeling it will be cheaper but not sure that is a problem if it is a worldwide accepted currency.

Every website owner and content-creator shouldbe able to seamlessly accept money online. Bitcoin with a little finesse would fit the bill perfectly.

It will hit $500 before the end of the year and maybe $700 in the middle of next year but will end up around $450 after two years.

I hope that in two years the number of people using bitcoin has increased and especially, more acceptance and dissemination from the media.

bitcoin could easily hit 10k/coin in a couple of years .. a lot will depend whether merchants like overstock keep dumping it on the open market, or if they start hoarding. because if big merchants begin hoarding, all bets are off. the price could hit 100k/coin, or even more.  Shortages of bitcoin on the open market would trigger a panic and create the biggest bubble the world has ever known. 

i think bitcoins future is bright. with all the good news we are hearing everyday it is going to become more and more popular and as a result the price will go up too.

I don't think he means where it will be in terms of price, but where as a technology or hollistically be after 2 years

I feel it'll be very hard to predict where Bitcoin will be in 2 years. I would assume that if more adoption comes in and more people start using Bitcoins and bring in all the good news probably bitcoin will be really really popular and widely used.

This year's benefit will be % rise in merchant adoption. If there isa significant rise with the merchants, users will follow...

And yet everyone uses it.

People will not know how Bitcoin works, yet everyone will use it.

Bitcoin is being used for almost 2 years and I guess even more and still it is being used for most transactions. When I started using bitcoins I felt it may not have any future but still it has sustained in the market and is being recognized by few popular brands.

Yup.
There will be a lag effect, but users and bitcoin's price will subsequently increase.

Hard to tell really, I think mainstream adoption is still a good few years away, whether or not that's within two years is anybody's guess.

Far as I can tell, there's still a way to go before non-tech bitcoin users can securely send/recieve/store btc, wallet providers like Circle have started simplifying the process which is great (apart from the non-US restrictions).

It is very hard to tell, hopefully it will be worth tons and I can retire early right?:)  It also could go the other route though, we don't know what is going to happen by the end of today even.  Bitcoin might be a joke in a couple years because something new and better came out and it was mass adopted quickly.  It is extremely hard to say what will happen, all you can do is hope!

In 2 years we'll all be in a much better place mentally and financially.

Everyone that bought in early/late, whatever...will feel "whole" once again.  Once old money starts dumping their play money into exchanges, into the ETF, into more projects, into more development, into more investments....you get the idea.

Price wise I think we're going to reach about $600 again. On the cryptocurrency adoption part I believe we'll be quite successful. We'll have at least two major international companies that will accept bitcoin worldwide - hopefully.

Maybe bitcoin would slightly edges credit and debit card in the first world countries.

No maybe about it my friend Bitcoin is superior to credit and debit cards in every country worldwide, how much would that cost to send a wire transfer across the planet from Africa? Then how much to send a bitcoin payment.

Somehow development does need to be made to reduce the amount of time it takes for a transaction, this is a must and i hope they can do it because this is what is holding it back imho

Bitcoin is not built on debt which is my main reason i am here for as long as it is here.

I think the most important thing it will focus upon, must be adoption.
As more and more good news start coming in, we will surely be up >$800 at least in the mentioned time.

We may hit 300$ before the end of the week and we should trade at much higher rates before the north atmosphere summer comes around.

Firstly I do not thing that adoption will rise bitcoin price that much. Secondly you think that with the end of winter price will rise... I like that idea, but it may be completely wrong, as I see charts are just dropping just now...

Charts mean nothing to me.  If we could all read charts all day long, and the end of the day you are guessing what is going to happen, just like anyone else.  Especially with Bitcoin being young and the number of adopters are constantly changing, it is near impossible to predict. 

Charts mean something if you have the same amount of customers who order the same things every year.  Or even if you have for the last 10 years a 2% growth in Customers every year, you can speculate on that, it is still nothing but a guess though.

It will surely still be alive and kicking.
Exist already more than 5 years.
About the price, a good 500 is possible i think (and i hope).

Two years? That is many moons from now.

you think we'll only be at 500 in 2 years? dont you think you're being a little bit to negative here?
500 is probably less than a few months away.
1 year will stabalize us at around 2000
2 years easy 3500 or so.
PRICE is not the important thing tho , adoption is : )

He's suffering from negative delusion due the latest price downtrend and has lost the ability to think long term.

I hope we have recovered at least 1000$ price and that there are decentralized exchanges and that it is more spread
