Well? Will it?

So far I've a lot of doubt.

It will .. Eventually . I give it two years (when the halving block reward happens) if we bypass the block halving and the price don't reach 1000$ and don't think anything will .

~ Madness

Can we know what are your reasons to have such belief?

I forgot about the block halve. I can't wait. I'm pretty sure it's going to go haywire once the block halves.

I am with you OP i have my doubts although it will get there if mega whales want it there, just hope that is not before i have managed to stock up a larger stack  :)

I never knew bitcoins were ever worth $1000 as now the price is just $245 and the highest rate I have seen was $300. If it was worth that amount, then it has suffered indeed a huge loss over these years.

The only reason it hit the $1000 mark was because of the acts of the willy bot on mtgox. I'd like that to happen again but chances are slim.

The price should raise gradually. My prediction was that it should hover a bit at $360.

Bitcoin will hit $1000 mark again when the conditions are right. That will be when legislations are in place, when people knows bitcoin is a legit asset and large merchants are accepting it.

There are money to be made in the bitcoin market for Wall St speculators. They will pump up bitcoin price when the time comes and make millions like they always do in stock markets.

I think BTC will go to $1000 again. I think it happened prematurely in BTC's time span (willy bot) and now we are seeing a major correction. I wouldn't be surprised if we reached $1000 in the next few years.

it will eventually. but it will go up very slowly with a lot ups and downs.
just be patient and hold the coins you have.

Yes i think so.  As for when is another question.

I doh by think we'll make it this year. Maybe a maximum of 500. I predict 1000 in about 2019

That's what im doing at the moment.

Oh I am sure the fact millions of noobie investors buying hunders of dollars worth of BTC each had nothing to do with the bubble.

Yeah, it will go to $1000 again! I'm really not worried at the moment. I do believe in the longterm success (Bitcoin will find its niche) and am sure todays' prices are merely a good opportunity to enter the Bitcoin market for people who considered doing so for a long time already.

If I remember correctly the bot bought 570 000 coins in total.

The market cap is still tiny i dont think it hit 1k that early - perhaps a little, we have over corrected big time atm probably due to a bitcoin PR crisis.

yep it will  ;)

In couple years if it stays that long first it has to cross 500 mark and seems to be cracking a nut.

Eventually once there are enough connections built foundations and linkages take a while to develop
Example scenario
Stripe/Square + NFC + Mobile Banking leading towards distributed platforms and increased usage

Basically on the go simple to use and easy to acquire coins from any location is the end goal and different groups worldwide are still taking steps towards making it simple just need to check the press section over a month to see all the different projects going on.
That said it takes time to build those relations, regulations and all.

Kind of wish they used them on parking meters someday mobile swipe and walk away but for now at least I'll know my whisky is legit with NFC and  Bitcoin could be processed with a watch not presently but looking at the idea an Android app could fix that someday in the near future as an add on, as always there are interesting applications just need someone to do them.

Future applications for Bitcoin (Mobile Banking)
http://www.gatesnotes.com/2015-annual-letter?lang=en&page=3

Just to list a few examples
(Slowly getting prettier lol)

--
In the next 15 years, digital banking will give the poor more control over their assets and help them transform their lives.
The key to this will be mobile phones. Already, in the developing countries with the right regulatory framework, people are storing money digitally on their phones and using their phones to make purchases, as if they were debit cards. By 2030, 2 billion people who don't have a bank account today will be storing money and making payment with their phones. And by then, mobile money providers will be offering the full range of financial services, from interest-bearing savings accounts to credit to insurance.

Traditional banks cannot afford to serve the poor because of their costs. That's why 2.5 billion adults don't currently have a bank account. In villages where people borrow or save in tiny denominations, building and maintaining a bank branch just doesn't make sense. And when most people think about financial services specifically for the poor, they think of microcredit, such as small loans to businesswomen in poor countries. Indeed, small loans have helped millions of people, but loans are only one of the financial services the poor need, interest rates are relatively high, and these services have reached only a small fraction of the poorest.

The companies pioneering mobile banking find it profitable to serve the poor because the marginal cost of processing a digital transaction is near zero. And because so many people in developing countries have mobile phones — more than 70 percent of adults in many countries are subscribers now — the volume of transactions can be very high. By making small commissions on millions and millions of transactions, mobile money providers can make a profit serving poor customers, just as brick-and-mortar banks do serving the wealthy. Once these services get going, then there will be competitive innovation in offerings like special savings or credit plans related to farming or education.

i m sure it will reach but only after next block reward halving, we can't expect a big pump before halving

Yes, but not this year

I think so. We need one economic crisis in which most of the fiat currencies go into deep inflation. Ppl start to realise the intrinsic value of the anti inflation as fiat. Ppl flock to buy up bitcoin.

why?, any reason?

it could reach 1k tomorrow, for what we know, too far stretched but you get the idea

I think if you understand the market correctly you can safely say "It will not reach $1000 on March 2nd, 2015"

Bitcoin is about bitcoin being accepted and used by a greater number of people, in a wider range of circumstances.

It can only achieve this when it attains some sort of reasonable price stability ( wherever that may be)

As long as Bitcoin remains the focus of speculators and 'to da moon' merchants', its future will be uncertain.

I would presume the next bull run will start in anticipation of the block reward halving.
It might start towards the end of this year, but 1K this year looks optimistic.

i think it will reach the $1000 mark again but not so soon though. i think it is going to take at least one more year to reach this price height and it is going to get there gradually.

Given BTC's history of multiple violent speculative bubbles that drove price upwards in very short periods of time, I have plenty of doubt that getting to $1k again will be a gradual affair.

There may be a long, gradual period of steady gains while the market shakes off the bearish sentiment that lasted over a year - but once that is gone, it's time to buckle up because the same folks that knew there was money to be made by dumping in a bear market also know that pumping brings returns in a bull market - and you get the best returns by getting in early.

I was sure of it last summer but have been getting discouraged over the past few months. The bear market has lasted much longer than expected. That being said, I think it might finally be ending so I'm cautiously optimistic.

But it's a very different market apparatus compared to previous times when the price was exploding. I don't think there's any way of knowing what it would be like if it were to happen again.

Agreed that it's different, but there's also a lot higher exposure a year and a half after the last big bubble than last time.  I don't think it's a guarantee, but I would think the chance of pumps and FOMO in a highly speculative space like BTC's would make violent upswings very likely compared to slow and steady growth to 1k.

THere will be a long time of sub 1K before we see ATH again. Everyone one year ago was claiming 2K by January 2015... so calm the fuck down and enjoy the slow ride.

I doubt we will be seeing 1000$ anytime soon. We might reach 500, but 1000 is pretty far away for the bitcoin to reach in the next few months.
There is no news that would cause it to rise to that much.

the market is so thin that a single guy with 10 million usd can take it to 1000 in a heartbeat

THE MOAR YOU KNOW!

They have also been $1,$30,$3,$260,$80,$1200,$160 "over these years" but I suspect you know that.

I remember being shocked at how expensive Bitcoin was when I first learned about it: $5.

And once again we're right on track to our preliminary goal of a $1000 Bitcoin. I think once we've achieved levels of the previous ATH around $1200, we'll go up a lot more. Maybe only to $3500 or so for the time being, but there'll be still plenty room to grow!

Surely this is what we are all wanting. It is difficult, but we will get there.

When we have some greedy exchange or mega whales want to pump it up to around that price, we will see around $1000 but it will take a long long time if we are waiting for user adoption to take us there..

Who knows though the future is a crazy thing and if we knew it for sure we would be extremely rich and probably not spend any time on here for starters which would be pretty cool to be fair  :D

Thank you for taking time to write and post that. Good share of opinion.

We might just get a pump towards the end of the year. Never know.

The chances of that is too slim.Well for at least now.

I think the bitcoin will reach > 1000 dollars after the next block reward halving, but I'm not sure at 100% (Maybe we should wait until the block reward will be less than 1 bitcoin).

Let's just hope he's going to buy in.

I don't think we'll be alive when the reward is <1btc

The block reward will be less then  one bitcoin in the ~2032 : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitcoins_Long_Term

And some of us are getting on a bit already. My ticker will probably have exploded like a hand grenade by then, but I'll watch it from my brain in a jar hopefully.

I love all these cautious/pessimistic calls for $1000 coins only after the halving happens. :D Pricing will be way more than that by then. Too much good news and the ease of acquisition for institutional investors going on between now and when COIN/Gemini comes out for many multipliers of higher pricing not to happen by then and then some.

It will reach the $1000 mark, but when is the question!!

It might take over a year or even more, but it will reach it's $1000 mark again..

When difficulty or block value make it less profitable than yes.

Well in time but not right now too many people holding the price downland too many people panic sell but it is generality going on he up trend a little however needs a lot of work on it to get past the 1k figure and keep it above that. Will need a lot more people using it along with a much higher demand for BTC. right now all a  lot of people want is a quick RIO or quick $ to make on BTC and sell it and prices go down. If they continue to go down more ill buy more back up and sell much later on when ma retired on my BTC island somewhere. Only one can dream of such things but would be nice to see BTC at 1k again.

Hmm, I was one of the guys who felt we may only get to $1000 by year end, now wondering if we are due a bit of a bull run before that

It is only an opinion. Maybe the price will not raise after the next block reward halving, but if is rational | less bitcoin , same demand = rise of the bitcoin price | or maybe my supposition is wrong?

I think it will go north of $1K in the next year or two, and if/when it does I think it'll sail straight past it to $2.5K - 3.5K or perhaps much more.  The alternative is it becomes an irrelevant 'also ran' of questionable value of any kind.

I don't see success happening because of mainstream adoption as a currency in the west though, I think that's wishful thinking, as it's a crappy everyday currency compared to pocket paper currency.  Things that could push it up though are more likely KimDotCom type followers, ETF's, and the 'Unbanked'.

For my own position (being a westerner in the east), I move countries once in a while, and am constantly wondering where I can store portable wealth.  In Thailand the banks have insurance for 50,000,000 baht (USD$1= ~32 baht), but in August next year that will reduce to 25,000,000baht, and one year after that 1,000,000 baht (that's only about $31K insurance per bank account no matter how many gazillion USD equival you have stored there, never mind all the hassle of proving where you got it from in order to remove it from that country - they don't seem to mind if it's incoming money, they just don't like letting go of it).  It's not much better in the west either.  

That means that I have the conundrum of looking for ROI on my network building/supporting efforts, but in later days I'll be looking to carry any wealth I might have with me without having border issues, and that's where a non national currency based store of wealth is very interesting to me - I'd take a hit on the national currency value to reclaim that freedom.

So "Portable wealth storage" would be my selling point to see it go up, though that may be of no interest at all to the majority.

Yeah it will raise again. I think nd im sure it will reach 1000$ above in next year.

i'm still thinking that it will reach 1k, much early than the block value, like happened with doge or other alt-coin

That's quite a high insurance rate they have over there, in the EU they only insure your first 100000 euro.

The way I see it, we are still in a long term bear market.. until proved otherwise. I will just try and buy the dips and sell the tops in the meantime

I don't think that you can you alt coins to predict the the future price of bitcoin. This is  because very few of them have lasted. The reason for this is because they are made so the creator could make money not as a passion project or an idea.

I would think that Portable wealth storage is important to quite a few people.

I definitely think that it will reach 1000$ again soon enough, but its only a matter of time. You will have to be patient enroute, and only that way you will see it go up.

Of course we will see multiple stabilizations as well as price dips and surges, but over-all the trend will be up and coins will hit $1000 again

As impossible itself says I'm possible, nothing's impossible except Bitcoin to go $0 as that won't happen, and the value will grow over time, so yes, it might be a probability for it to reach $1k sooner or later... ;)

Woah, thanks for showing me that.

after the continuous fluctuations at them moment I think bitcoin won't go higher than $250 this year. $250 seems to be the mark which it always come back to.

Of course it will.  Is that even a question?  If someone says otherwise just think that we are Bitcoiners and do this

https://media.giphy.com/media/GNQSWovPVcx7W/giphy.gif

What makes you think it's impossible? By your own logic it's 'I'm possible' (which there is no logic there). Bitcoin could very well run into trouble if the value drops below what is profitable to mine. If something better than bitcoin came along people would also dump it and move on. Put those two things together and you've got the death of bitcoin.

Well there more than enough people willing to bet on the odd chance that Bitcoin would still have some value in the future, therefore I also think that going to $0 is effectively a scenario that won't happen. We could see double digits, yeah. Maybe even single digits, but seeing $0? Only if the core principles and functionality of Bitcoin gets compromised badly.

As long as Bitcoin's core technology is still working and not compromised in any way, we won't see Bitcoin's value drop to $0 or even anywhere near those levels, that's right. But there will always be miners, no matter what happens. Even today some people mine Bitcoin without actually making a profit from it!

Ok, so we've heard from a bear. Are there any bulls who want to share their predictions? :P

It will never go to zero. It will exist, even if it's worth 1.0e-10000 dollars.

That's not impossible, it can happen. The chances of it happening are miniscule.

Just as people still host ancient game emulators, there would always be a small hard core who would keep BTC running for fun or sentimental reasons. It would still have the tiniest amount of value between them.

I think to answer this, or better predict the future price we should wait and see what will happen in 2016 after the block halving happened and market changes as the result of this.
I think block halving of 2016 is going to have significant impact on the market.

$10 or $1000. Either way is quite possible.

one is /20, the other just x5, i think it's clear that it will be more easy to reach the latter

someone said that the next bubble is always a magnet of the value of the previous one, this mean that the next bubble will likely surpass at least the 1200 ath

Absolutely yes
 ;D

Definitely! And it will also go up to at least $ 2000,-. But it  could take another 15 - 24 months.

hehe nice joke there, you did built an example that limited the possibility to have only x2 of your investment, not really a fair comparison

you can't argue that it is more easy to raise to x5 than be dumpend to x20, although it is reasonable to think that dumping is more easy to do than the pumping, still 1/20 vs x5 is a lot of difference

I love your optimism but that duration is too short for bitcoin to hits that mark..

I think it will reach much higher but it will take lot (years and years) of time.)

Again in the future yes it's statistical possible bitcoin reach again 1000$…
Thinking about 10 years or maybe 100 years, with inflation of classic currency, in a medium period (like the son of your sons), there is the strong possibility to touch again 1000$.
I think can reach more than 1000$, and :D yes I hope also :D

Let's see, the last tenfold rise from $ 100,- to € 1000,- took about one month. If we assume that the next rise will be about ten times slower, we still have 5 months time to find the bottom or to stick around at $ 230,-. My guesstimation may be optimistic, but for me it seems to be plausible.
Either way, I will hang out here to find it out.  ;D

All the positives and good news lately is reminiscent of the times before the last parabolic rise, as well as the boredom in the pricing action atm. So many people are so subdued because of the past bear season that they can't comprehend that this sort of rise is possible.

Also, there's way more options for a lot more people around the world to purchase bitcoin at this point which means the next rise will be even more significant.

The base is built and we just need the right spark to get this fire blazing.
Many people will sell way too early once the big one finally starts. The way to avoid that is to set a high target (for example $3759/btc)

but there is nothing major happening that can cause this huge rise in the bitcoin price. there is the same news and events that was before and the price is stuck at this level of $220 ish.
what reason do you have that it can go up to $2000 ish?

Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen in 15-24 months either, it will rise very slowly and it shall take a lot of time. The price cannot be predicted and although right now it seems that it's not going anywhere but you never know, the only people who will benefit from it in long term will be believers like early adopters who despite of all the negativity kept it and got the rewards.

with a total of 21M i don't think so.

I also think so

Yes it will!

how so? 21M it is the exact reason why 1k is an easy target, and 10k should not be that difficult to chieve in 2-3 halving in the worst case

and add to this, all the lost coins, that are probably around 3-5M plus the future coins that will be lost, and you're done, you have the perfect field of a scarcity

It is hard to predict!
When the dust has settle and the building user base and all the businesses that have been built will drive the price to new highs

Yep. Probably end of this year, or beginning of next.

I think Buy some cheap Bitcoins now while it's low so when the prices goes back over $1000 you can brag about it. :)

it will reach 1000 dollars again . If you do the math, just the heavy investments in the rigs shows you all the signs that we will have high pressure on the price

Bitcoin will not reach 1000$ as long as these Gavincoiners (xt shills) are attacking it.
Litecoin is safer investement now.

If demand remains constant, then we should reach $1000 after two more halvings (~6 years).

i think it will reach the $1000 mark again. but the important question is when will it get there.
after the block reward halving in 2016 we will most probably see another big price jump and i think if the upward movement can continue after that, it can easily reach $1000 again.

I agree to Herbert2020, but perhaps the $1000 will be reached already before the end of 2015. There are actually interesting movements in the altcoin market, many altcoins have started to rise again. This may be the preview of a bubblish movement, and we know once the train has started it can accelerate pretty fast. Another good sign is that the $215 mark has held until now, so there may be a stable bottom now.

I think within a month from now the BTC is at 2500 dollars. There is something in the air! 8)

Wow! I think THAT is a bit too optimistic. But I can also feel a slow change in sentiment. It's relly just a feeling, nothing that I could base on facts.

Just dream  ;D

Yeah, but a sweet one.  :D

Hahaha you are good :)

Optimisitic indeed. We're struggling to get to $250, how would you even think of such an evaluation?

That is something else optimistic is giving him credit. lol if I had a dollar for every time I have heard the change in sentiment I would own hundreds of bitcoins. There is nothing changing just a few dollars up and a few dollars down.

OP I have doubts we will see the $1000 again it looks to much like a pump and dump just one that still has new fools arriving to keep it from dumping the last stretch even faster than it is. I would love to be proved wrong so I can cash in some of my coins at a lovely rate, let's see.

There'll come a day where it has to put up or shut up.

A rise to $1000 or above that turns into another epic and endless dump isn't going to inspire all the people who've invested and worked so hard to make it attractive to users, let alone any potential users themselves.

I think it needs to prove to the world that it does have some genuine legs in the next few years or its advocates are going to fade away.

It will reach it and surpass it in a matter of hours.

Nobody who follows bitcoin should have any doubts that $1000 will be reached again. Probably very soon because last rally was in 2013 and the one before in 2011. There's no valid argument that bitcoin is dying or that its user base is shrinking, so...

You have to be patient. In 2013 we saw bitcoin rise 50x times. Don't you think 1.5 - 2 years is normal for the things to settle down, and new investors replace the old ones?

maybe based on the current influx, induced by all the positive news, that far exceed the bad news, there is nothing else on which you can base your prediction or your sentimental dream

also the fact that we are still hold so strong the 230 wall, it's good sign for believer

i'm also in the fence of thinking that in 2-3 months something great will happen, that will influence the price positively

Well, $250 now. Which disproved me.  I'm still happy either way, I'm basically close to the moon in profits.

Why can't Bitcoin become a trillion dollar market?
That would make each bitcoin worth about $40,000 -$50,000.

It will cross 500 in 2015 and it will likely cross 1000 in 2016 sometime in mid. Thats my prediction based on the current trends.

BTC must flow from weak hands to strong hands before higher prices can be sustained.

Already happened friend-o

Yes, sometime between now and 2018.

I don't think the halving does a thing to the price, we will see a minor pump and dump based on halving speculation, but we will stay sub 300 for another 18 months. I don't even think Greece will make a dent in the market cap, just too many people that are desperate to exit at the first bump in price.

We will have another bubble and it will drive us up and up and up. However, after that the last bubble will be a decade later. I think the next bubble tops between 1200 and 3k, no more.

Time between bubbles will only grow and the top will eventually have a maximum peak. There isn't enough liquid money in the world to support a 100 trillion market cap.

I am expecting bitcoin price will reach $1000 or more in 2016, Bitcoin has a solid history of making new highs, just hold on and also buy more.

Bitcoin will increase in the next 2 mouths
I have a system but I don't have the necessary money
I know you already here a lots of system but nah
Every one is different.

Well why don't you tell us your magic system then? you can loan it to someone if it's that good and both can get profits.

increase a little and then dumping again? sucks manipulation market now, bitcoin price like a trap. some people thinking price will up and it not will happen. price stable in 6 month

there is an explanation for this great stability, basically it is not that the demand isn't increasing, but is that the dumping is increasing too

what i think is that all those big merchants , raised the demand of the supply but in the same time they rised the dumping too, we are basically at the same ratio as before, but with a bigger number

so for example if before we were at 1:1 now we are at 3:3 or 5:5

i like the stability. this gives people more confidence. manipulation happens all the time, not just now. without manipulation bitcoin trading would be a lot more boring. and trading of stocks and such in general.

We'll see if your claims are valid within the next 2 months.

Another thing I've noticed when trading is that I see a lot of people using arbitrage are dumping on exchanges leaving the price to stay at a constant average.

Bitcoin already hit $1k.  Many people cashed out.  My sympathy is with those who bought at $1k while listening to the frequent posts on this forum that were promising $10k or more by the end of 2014.  Heck, there were numerous posts asking when we'll see a million dollars per bitcoin, with the only question being whether it'll be 2020 or much sooner.

Yeah I remember rpietila predicting 1 million before 2020 or something along the lines lol.
In any case, if the guys that bought at 1K were to hold for the next 5 years, they would end up winning, but I doubt they'll have the nerve to do so.

If anyone who bought around then is still here then it's safe to say they're in it for the long haul now. That's either due to sheer 'fuck it' ness or they actually did some research and got a bit excited. Doesn't stop it sucking a bit for them all the same.

yeah, I bought couple of them (below 10) @980$, lost ~40BTC on gox, I was fucked by BFL and BlackArrow, anyway, I'm still in "profit". Let's say, that bitcoin is not for everybody at this stage and I can imagine, that majority of people will be about to leave with similar experience as I had..sadly

..if I believe, that bitcoin hit 1k again? I hope so and I will be still here with my stack.) haha

$250 today  $1000 sometime in the future - hell yes!
I just wonder how far the price of BTC is going to go

$1000 maybe, its becoming more realistic since we saw the twins finish their exchange.

so maybe we can see some progress on that etf they wanted to do as well.

Damn it must hurt losing 40BTC, I never had that much by any means. How did you make all that? i guess you bought at the very early stages. But we are still pioneers, all those things will not happen in the future, there are no more Mt Gox posible after Gemini launches.

most people have probably bought enough asics early when BFL was still around.

I know most also flipped enough BFL stuff to buy it at low cheap prices as well.

Bitcoin always goes only up. It is just a matter of time-frame and patience i.e. it only depends on how long you are willing to wait.

Reasonable time frame is important.
If it crosses 1000 in 100 years, it doesn't help

but i think a steady bitcoin price growth is better that a jump (price pump) in a short time and an inevitable crash afterwards.
bitcoin has already a big unreal price in the past if it continues this way (going up $1000 then falling $800) eventually people are going to give it up like what has happened to many altcoins.

ahh, back in days was 40BTC literally nothing.) I just knew about BTC earlier then you and had some luck, that's all..

it should rise before 2024 to a great value, otherwise we might have a problem, because miners will not be a real dumpers anymore, and coins remained from total supply will be weightless


this is true, but if we keep returning the the previous value everytime, we does need a fast rise, and one that is too slow, i kind of balance between the two would be good, but we know that the market isn't rational it does not follow math at all

well at this 10 dollars per year rate of rise it may take like 70 years to get there lol but things can happen and crisis may goes more away into this digital central or uncentral nervous system

things are most probably are going to change but we are going to be stuck at this price level for more time now.

especially next year in 2016 when the block halving is about to happen, things are gonna change and market will get exciting again.

don't expect too much from the halving. after a period of seeing the price go up we'll end up having the same issues as we have now. demand needs to be there. 50% less supply would just have a temporary effect.

only after it became world-spread, which is so unbelievable

Whats so unbelievable about it? it's actually inevitable. It will go worldwide including 3rd world countries. By 2019 it's expected that almost everyone in the world will have access to smartphones. The 3rd world countries will skip normal banking and go directly with crypto just like they did with cable internet and went directly to wifi.

 Yes,definitly yes only i dont know what dollar will be worth that time
i ve been reading article today,one btc developer want increase btc supply beyond 21 mln
What do you think about it

probably yes ,reserve a ticket for me i m ready to go to the moon
1000$ in 2016

I see it where some online bank or other payment forms like the swiping technology being able to buy the blockchain. Like squareup.

and we all can cash in on it that way.

you mean the 21 mill supply produced?

if we re-raise it and thats if someone did mess with the hard wired coin to be produced, wouldnt that lower the value.

maybe if most the supply were lost.

and the limited bitcoin available are really low, then yeah the value would be super high.

$1000 mark again? yeah I just hope that when we do get to that point, I have a ton of bitcoins sitting in my wallet

$1000? I just hope we can stay above $200

yes, I also have the same hope about you, but if one day bitcoin prices again reached the $ 1,000 would be a lot of new millionaires, and one of them is definitely someone that people who have been trying to collect bitcoin from now

but I think it is really hard BTC reached $1,000 but above $200 should be no problem

No matter what happens the price will recover. It may take few months, even a year but we will see it break last year's high one day.

It will DEFINITELY reach 1000$ mark, it will reach in the next 3-5 years though. Right now its around 1/4th of it but there are a lot of incidents about to happen which will definitely boost the adoption of the bitcoin currency.

After the halving, daily selling pressure should decrease. And non-speculative demand (dark net markets, remittances, etc.) will have had 3 years of growth. If bitcoin can't reach its old highs after three years of growth and likely half the selling pressure from miners, then we'll have to go back to first principles and really ask ourselves what is going wrong. Bitcoin is too small to plateau at this level.

3-5 years is pessimistic, we are rising quite well, around $2 per day(for the last couple of days), if we continue this trend we could reach it before the halving

rest assured that something big will happen before or aorund the halving, almost impossible that we will remain at this stage by then

Depends. Folks on here tend to be prone to two things.

1 - massively underestimating eventual values if it truly succeeded.

2 - the amount of time it would take to truly succeed. I think it's going to be an awful lot longer than many presume.

We tend to think of online commerce having taken over the world. In reality it's only 7% of US retail spending. A fine proportion but not that vast considering how long the concept has been around for now.

Obviously it's much higher if you take groceries out of the equation but there are still millions there who'll have nothing to do with it. If you can't sell them the benefits of lower costs and conveniences, a whole new type of money is that much more alarming to them.

whenever btc price crashes it will back and rise with in months. I am expecting bitcoin price will reach $1000 in 2016

Never say never but if it does it will take to much time (years)

Funny, a little bird just told me that BTC will be above $1000 December 2016, March 2017 or July 2020. The halving that's coming up might change those numbers, though.

The price will go up as usage and acceptance increases and might hit $1000 again. Also when someone figures out how to disrupt banking, property and insurance with legal and easily useable services using bitcoins

So if bitcoin gets accepted worldwide it may hit up that high assuming that the demand for it is high.

years and years!

i dont know, it maybe a short spike depending on how things go right now for greece.

if everyone cant access to cash and western union is closed all this week, everyones forced to use other methods including buying bitcoin.

I believe yes . if the interest continues and the wall street big wigs start moving into it then who knows. its going to be an interesting 2016

I think it will be over $1,000 within two years.

so what is the reason you say that, I prefer to think 3-5 years to come bitcoin reached $ 1,000
but anything can happen in the near future

Somebody who invested at the peak still won't make money. But yes, it will get to $1000 eventually.

90% of you guys really have no idea what's going on and how valuable bitcoin is/will be. Before bitcoin, I was 5+years in investing (stocks). Of course it will reach $1000. If it does, of course it will reach $10000 and so on until a reasonable limit and bear markets in the meantime.

There is always a small possibility (10%) that bitcoin will fail or that you will lose your btc before you have chance to spend them (x%) - that's why it's not wise to put all (or even 50%) your savings in btc. However, when btc price rises dramatically - let bitcoin holdings exceed your fiat/stock holdings if you want to become "rich".

If you think bitcoin will not reach $1k or $10k - you're greatly overestimating that 10% chance of bitcoin failing. I agree that there's not much tangible evidence of bitcoin success right now - you have to imagine software/hardware/services 10x better than today. Intanglible evidence abounds though and it is as much important as the tangible one.

For $1k we're talking short term investing.

It might in the far future but right now it's impossible. we cannot expect 2013 to repeat itself, since the 2013 rise was cause by a lot of factors which i don't see today. whatever it may have been back then, those fluctuations caused more loss than profits on the bigger picture. right now the steady growth guarantees rise in price, a decent rise in fact. we should be happy with this trend

+1 fully possible. I hope for more massive adoption. Some time of event which introduces Bitcoin to even larger masses will help increase the price.

Most of those factors were whales that made millions on the people that bought  bitcoin for 1000$...
I guess we will see it again soon.

That time is done. Not to many people knew about it's efficiency because not to many were mining as they are now.
Now it's the time of normalization because it is more common to see it being used and commercial entities are using it now. So no, it will never reach it's peak again. Think of it the same as the tech bubble, will there ever be another microsoft being the first? Sure facebook, but now more people are using it so it is just another tech company. Just like litecoin is to bitcoin, their will never be another first. So no, it won't surpass $1200 ever again unless the other economies have what is happening to Greece happens to them too, which will never happen.

I think plenty of people on here have a hugely inflated idea of how big BTC is in the wider world.

There are also no shortage of those who massively underestimate how minuscule it is as well.

The dotcom bubble consumed trillions of dollars of investment capital. The $1200 peak consisted of maybe a few tens of thousands of enthusiasts and barely one single finance professional or one cent of their money.

If you think it has already shot its potential bolt that's just as delusional as thinking it'll be $1 mil a piece by the end of the year. In global finance terms it's still less than nowhere. If a dotcom esque bubble occurred, and I don't think it would be a healthy thing so I hope it doesn't, minds would be blown to the edges of the universe.

of course ...Bitcoin started at pennies and now look at it... was up to over $1k at one point

when? and what you do for help bitcoin reach to $1000 again? i think is time to forget about dream get back price $1000

he was talking about end 2013 early 2014, it was at 1200 actaully, we are only at 1/6 of that, not that far away, a big jump can be done in a few day if everything is done right

i don't know why people are still talking about reaching 1k, when 1k is nothing to bitcoin, bitcoin is aiming at a greater value than that, 1k is a short term objective... guys

That is just a gestminate. I am happy with 25% a year rise. However, more adoption can make $1,000 within two years.

If a Grexit sparks a domino effect crisis in the EU it could spark off bank runs in many countries which could result in huge adoption of Bitcoin very quickly. When nobody can trust their own banks Bitcoin will suddenly be very attractive to shops, businesses, and customers. $1,000 is easily achievable if people start using it in shops more than bank cards.

Majority use of bitcoin will be online shopping, not daily shopping in supermarkets or cafe shops until the 0 confirmation problem is resolved.

So far, I only used it in online shopping.

That could change with off the chain transactions, If I remember correctly,Coinbase has something available for merchants. However that can lead to centralization which bitcoin is not.

Banks in Greece won't open this week... so it's a possibility.... but.. check the price... just pump&dumps.

i think that only a small portion of the volume that came into bitcoin and caused the price jump were actually from Greece. the majority of that was from other investors that wanted to benefit from this news and started to push up the price.

It's definitely possible. There's continual growing interest. But, how long-lived that interest will be remains to be seen.

Will, but not now...

Too much uncertainty

$1000 is inevitable. It's not a matter of if, but when. In my opinion, $1,000 will be achieved within some point I  the next two years. I don't think we can expect Bitcoin to get anywhere near 1k by the end of the year.

I don't want it to go 1000 mark again. Because that would unsettle the market once again. Bitcoin market is trying really hard to set anchor at 300 mark so we better hope it does for the sake of the existence.

Yes bitcoin will reach 1000$ price mark again in end of this year 2015 or start of year 2016, it may hit upto 2000$ when block rewards halves

a better question ould be, does bitcoin will fall back again to 200 or something after hit the 1k mark again for the second times?

reaching 1k shoild be easy, what it is hard it's always one thing, maintain the value

Bitcoins was marked to 1000$ because of the mtgox . Right now it's somewhere around 200$ I guess? The highest I've seen it is 330$ . Bitcoin can surely reach 1000$ in coming years. The target is achievable.

my earlier predictions were right. I did justify that we'd hover around 270.

I shall increase the year by 1 or 2.

certainly if bitcoin adoption continues to expand and more and more people start to realize bitcoin isn't going away and it wasnt just an insane speculative wonder ,  then yes it's very likely bitcoin will go back to $1000+

And what exactly is expanding? I haven't seed anyone new starting to accept bitcoin. This is just a pupm from nothing. Or maybe we just got bored to dump...

there are many new stratup that are going to accept bitcoin and build stuff on the blockchain or take advantage of it, did you miss the nasdaq news, the news about that adult site that has now joined bitcoin, because visa and mastercard has cut their support? and many other

question is imho not IF but WHEN:) and regarding when, I don't think, it will happen until upcoming halving scheduled for end of July 2016, so let's say you will have to wait for four digit number one year at least..

1000 is inevitable, it will reach it.


the real question is will 10,000 ever be attainable.


if yes, sky is literally the limit. if no, then you really have to wonder if bitcoin was too far ahead of its time.

Nobody can give you an answer to this as it's all speculation, but I think it's likely to go above and beyond 1k eventually. It all depends on adoption so spread the word and get people talking and discussing bitcoin.

I would say almost certainly yes. Bitcoin has long term value and potential.

Yes , I start to be more optimist about this since I saw us finally reaching 300$ and it's still rising .
Let's hope that this will continue till 1000$ , I guess by the halving block next year , it will certainly reach 1000$ if not more

things are most probably are going to change but we are going to be stuck at this price level for more time now. especially next year in 2016 when the block halving is about to happen, things are gonna change and market will get exciting again.

If everyone took this advice BTC would be much better off

It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. 4 figures will be an objective floor during the next decade, and 5 figures extremely probable. It's all a game of timing. It's knowing to sell before a bubble burst always having in mind the fact that we need to buy back to continue growing along with the bitcoin ecosystem. It's always a bad idea to sell all of it tho, you must save some and take a decent but not too high of a risk hen you consider the price is bubbled, then buy back, always buy back, or weep.

I definitely think that it will reach 1000$ again soon enough, but its only a matter of time. You will have to be patient enroute, and only that way you will see it go up.

I see bitcoin rise again to 1000+
but we will see many pump and dumps before

yes...it will.... 8) i think mouch more

i very much hope so , it would be awesome if it went up to $1000 again .

Yes.

Sitting at an average of 418 now, I've noticed the high fluctuations in the past few days, looks like the ones who bought at 200 are dumping

100% it will reach the 1000USD mark again, but like everything it is not sure when.
Will it be 2016, 2017 or even later. It's just a matter of time, so hang in there.

2016 might be too early for the bitcoin price to rise to $1000 but still who knows it might be possible.

It will happen, maybe not this year, but we will see our bitcoins worth 1000USD like it was in 2013.

The only thing you have to do is to be patient, that's it.

By July 2016, bitcoin will reach $1000. Bitcoin will be used by many users after it becomes better developed.

It would just have to... Inflation and everything.

The only thin that may stop it is an effective complete ban of it in the United States, or no $ existing so it technically could ever reach $1k mark

It will reach 1000$ if people stopped getting frightened every prices falling and they Starr selling all their bitcoin causing more fall in the prices !
I'm not very optimistic like you but I hope we will reach 500:600 level with stable trend

OP, the answer is yes.  Also, my fingernails will grow to be 11centimeters if I let them and my hair will be all the way down my back if I don't cut it.  There are just so many factors in these things and it's so hard to predict what's going to happen.   :o

There is not a problem if the bitcoin price drop due to panic selling. The price always recover. Sometimes, it takes long time to recover.

yes we will at 2017 for sure, it will take time but we will see that, bitcoin is in it's gold age now, small dropw and huge rises, so it shouldn't take more than year to go to 1000$

Yeah we can reach there in next few years, once bitcoin becomes more powerful and more users starts using bitcoins in future it will reach that mark very soon.

Why next few years???
If we are to witness halving, we should be able to see this price and even a new ATH this year...
I guess we are already heading towards there...

Bitcoin has a potential to go beyond that, and who knows may be the end of this year we would be reaching that value, just need to have patience and hold your coins for next few months.

Seeing a new ATH this year will be extremely difficult. We are very far away from $1000 at this point. To reach $1000 and stay above that price level I definitely prefer a slower but more stable growth. We all know how the previous ATH peak ended....

If anything we should see minimum of $500 reached.

Going like $700 mark would be possible too, but $1,000 seems unreachable unless before the halving the price range becomes $700 zone.

Its best to not set for disspoinment and just flow with the data thats present then just assuming it will hit "xyz" price.

Already it has reached $1000. It doesn't look to be a great deal. There are high possibility but it won't be happening that soon.

oh yes i think that it will rise to 1000$ and soon,  we had small price for long time now but price will rise for sure

halving this year will be start of huge price rise, because of it price will rise later more and more, so in end of 2016 or atleast in middle of 2017 we will see 1000$/bitcoin

I think we can expect this price at the end of year 2016 not before that and honestly I am not sure whether it will reach there or not but we can have some hope because of halving this year.

There will be of course a time that it will reach, but it takes a long time so we must wait for it and that is really important.
I hope that more people will also use Bitcoin and that we all can make some money and that will be very good.

Yeah and bitcoin surely has the potential to reach that value in future, but we are not sure when it will reach there as it will take long time to reach $10k.

i also don't think that we will go to 1000$ anytime soon, but ho knows what will happen in future, maybe after 2020 after halving, it may happen

but for now we would be happy to see 700$ at end of 2016 because price now is pretty low so i don't think that it will rise somehow to sky even after halving

It will of course happen. But that will only happen later in the future and that can be so good. I hope that it will happen in the future.
But you never know what will happen, because the value can also be going down in value and that will be not good.

I think the time will come bitcoin prices reached $ 1,000 again, perhaps there will happen in a few years, maybe three or four years to come bitcoin prices stable in price $ 1,000  ;D

It is still possible, bitcoin's price won't be staying at it's price this days.. $1000 is not really very far compared to that $10,000 that others are dreaming..IMO, It might not be this year but it won't take long..

Yeah, my friend also said like that. He said to me about halving which can make the price of bitcoin up than now. I think for near time bitcoin can reach 500 Dollars as beginning.

For you the $1000 price level might not look that far awat, but if you consider that we have been struggling to come even close to $500, then you'll see what kind of challenge reaching $1000 is.

Agree.
On the way up to $1000 there will be several barriers due to taking profits and attempts to push down the market down again a few % for more accumulation by the big players.
I would like to see the $1000 this year again, even it would be just for a short moment, but that would show us all that Bitcoin can reach the 4 digits. This would definitely bring some excitement back.

It will not happen that fast to have that high value. Because you can see now that the value is rising slowly and you never know when it will stop rising.
And that is the problem. I hope that it will rise of course in the future after the halving but we must see and wait for what is going to happen.

we have touched $1000 in three years ago. and after 3 years at this time we are very difficult to get back $1000. we even hard to touch 600. maybe in 2020 we can again touched $1000.

So far it's not a big deal to reach $1000. Because already it has crossed it and this is a realistic price compared to $5000 or $10000.

Indeed, the price is gonna rise to the 1000 dollar or maybe near the number because of the halving this year.
Also the fact that the bitcoin is growing by users is helping the price to go up more people are investing in it today.

i know bitcoin has reach $1000 before but after that bitcoin never back to touch that level again and last hope it's block halving.

For sure, there are 99.9999% of possibilities that we see 1000 again, and rather soon, and there are 0.0001% of possibilities of going to 0 dollars. Place your bets.

i doubt hat there are only possibilities that we will reach such heights, in my opinion it is really possible that the price of bitcoin will fall too

if the bitcoin price will grow that much we will surely have to wait for a year or two as the price is stable right now and it does not grow

I dont think it will happen, because you can see that the value will be more worth in the future and that can be very good.
But you never know of course because the halving is also coming and that should be really good. But lets just wait and see.

Yeah, i agree with you, no one knows, bitcoin will going up and about that halving. We only can hope that fluctuations of bitcoin is more good then now and bitcoin will growing up it price.

yeah, the halving can make it possible to reach that amount.
and don't forget about Japan has functioned bitcoin as money, so the demands of it will rise, so the price will, I think

Though there are bumps in the price right now, I am still hoping that price could still reach that $1000 mark...It might not be this year, but  maybe after few years...But why are we expecting bitcoin to go that high? seriously?...Why not just wish a more stable price at its level right now?

When difficulty or block value make it less profitable than yes.

The 1k mark for bitcoin will take a long time before it can reach that price again maybe in 10 years it will but it wont happen anytime soon.

Then WTF are you doing with a hero account? lol

It will definitely reach $1000 mark again. But it will take some time. After halving and block size increase, it might reach $1000.

A moderate pump can push the price over the $1000 mark again easily but I am expecting this threshold to be reached in a stable fashion next year. This year there is so much speculation going on with the halving event and the blocksize debate that I am not sure we will reach it till Xmas.

If the blocksize was fixed then the price will no doubt reach 1k but if the bottle neck still continues then we might see it at 600-700.

There is not big bumps right now. Only the small fluctuation is experienced. Only the technology gives the right answer at the time of halving. If it doesn't touch on halving as said by above buddy can expect $1000 by the next year.

Maybe we could reach that price by next year or even after a few month after the halving there will be a big pump that is going to happen by that time.

No I dont think that it will the reach $1000, because you already can see now that the value is not even rising so that is not good for the people who already have some Bitcoin.
The most people is of course hoping that it will rise soon and that they can have some profit, but I think that they can wait a long time until the value will be high.

The 1k bitcoin is not that far ahead of us within the next 2-3 years maybe we can see that price of bitcoin again.

The bitcoin will definitely reach $1000 within the next two to three years. It could be even earlier.

We will see that price by the end of the year 2016 we don't have to wait too long to see that price as halving will help us to see that price in this year.

If halving doesn't have impact on bitcoin then surely bitcoin price can be expected by the end of the year.

yes it will, of course it will, and i am pretty sure that we will go to 1000$ pretty soon, if not a end of 2016 then till middle of 2017, halving will be start of this as it should rise price to 700$ or even more, and then pumps, other events like more bitcoin accepting sites and so will rise price with time

i have been back and forth with my opinion about the possibility of another big rise and reaching $1000 again but these days i am more convinced that it will happen in the near future maybe even this year.

Sooner or later we will see the $1000 again if Bitcoin keeps on growing in terms of users/adoption and infrastructure.
The fundamentals are looking good. SegWit ill be implemented the coming weeks, Lightning Network seems to make great progress.Furthermore block reward will get cut in half in july and if demand stays the same or keeps rising a price increase is inevitable.So be patient and don't play the short quick profit game.

Exactly and there is a full possibility that we will see this value to bitcoin at the end of the year, as it is expected that price will increase at the time of halving and will be more higher at the year end.

Exactly price increase will happen on the time of halving as most speculation, and I believe it would reach $1000 only if bitcoin reaches $700 on  the time of halving.

yes it really can, to  be honest it can go to 1000$ this year, after halving, because price rises right now and i don't think that it will stop anytime soon so price should rise up to 500$ before halving, and after halving price could rise up to 900$ and then we will need 1 month till we see 1000$ price

Yeah we can expect a price rise to be $1000 after halving as everything is going well and good in progress including the price value. So don't be greedy and sell your coins before halving.

This would mean a little more than  2x in the price, Being optimistic may be feasible, but it would be just another bubble or a fact represent for greater usability and acceptance in everyday applications.

last time this happened was the same scenario going on.
everybody was debating 2x, 3x value is not possible and bitcoin price is just $100 and no more and we saw the price go up to $1100

Looking at the present scenario i thinkk it will take a long time for bitcoin to reach 1000 mark and even if halving takes price to next level I don't think its possible to achieve before the year end.

Without doubt the price of bitcoin touch the $1000 mark again, but not sure which time this would happen. I believe everything depends on the coming halving.

It can be a long time when it will reach that high value because you already know that the value will keep stable and that is not the best thing that can happen to all of us.
There are also people saying that the value keeps stable after the halving, and that is bad.

Yeah I believe it will definitely reach $1000 again when this going to happen is something we cannot know. But Bitcoin is heading in the good direction again so we just have to wait and see what happens. 

I think the bitcoin will reach the 1000 dollar mark easily to be honest it will maybe take some time but most likely it will.
This will most likely happen because of the bitcoin halving itself this year, will be a very good year.

Yes, I am also thinking that this amount will be reached so easily within this year, the price is now at $420 and the halving is also coming sooner so with that the price may sooner reach to $1000.

history has proven to us that $1000 is a price that is possible for bitcoin and there will be enough demand for it also.

and now with all the decline after the last time to $200 and the very slow rise to the stable price of $420 i think it is not that far to reach.

It is good that many people are positive about Bitcoin but we must be realistic and dont dream, it will not reach that value now soon because it is now stable for a long time.
And there are a lot of people that is hating that and I understand that because we want to make some profit.

Price is stable at a moment that doesn't mean it will be in future too, price will surely go high at the time of halving and we might see the value of bitcoin reaching to $1k by the end of the year 2016.

and did you heard what happened in the year 2013?
at that year the price was also at much lower and the increase was much slower and at some days there would happen the stability but still the price boost up at much height.

And I think the halving will have a good impact on the price of bitcoin and still the price will rise up to only $1000 in this year, in the mid or the end, as currently it require some more time to reach more higher than $1000.

I dont think that it will reach 1k price per bitcoin the halving now is not the same as before and the price 1k is not reachable.

You need to wait for 3 months for halving. Once you reach Halving the price will go up to 1000$.

So you only need to wait 3 months. it if does not happen at halving then it will never happen  >:(

It wont reach that price even after 3 months after the halving it can only happen it we have many companies using bitcoin and the supply is low.

Exactly. For that price to be reached, usage of Bitcoin should be more than doubled, and that is not easy to achieve. Do not think it will happen.

Just ask yourself what would you do when price reaches $500 or $600 or $700 or...? Everyone would start selling, hence everyone or majority in waiting for that to happen! Its all in perception of traders and holders, so halving really doesn't matter.

It is hard to reach that value you see now that the value is stable and that is hard to reach that value, many people are also thinking that Bitcoin will need a long time until it will high.
Bitcoin is a currency and that is almost impossible to predict for what the value will be.

Not so hard. I think the price will be at least $1000 by the end of 2016. It could even reach $1500 or higher.

Definitly yes only i dont know what dollar will be worth that time..

Reaching $1,000 is not easy but i think this can be achieved if there will be a panic buying few days or few weeks before the halving and the price would normally reach the highest level possible, otherwise i don't think it will happen this year.

You think its the same back in 2013? I have a feeling the reaction will be the same..

I feel growth from here will be slow like you mentioned, but at least grow in price eventually at a snail pace.

It will but the real question is when it is going to happen because I do not see this happening this year or even next year. The price is now on it's way to $500 but it is going slowly.

The price is around $450 now. It is just $50 away from the $500 mark. If it reaches it in June, that is good.

Yes, surely it will hit 1000$ mark.

Its rising slowly at a moment, but once halving is done the price will increase very rapidly and $1k seems possible to achieve at the end of the year.

Well said, the possibility to reach $1000 this year is hard as most users has predicted the bitcoin might reach around $700-$800 at the time of halving. Sometimes gradual increase after halving might help touch $1000,

If demand remains constant, then we should reach $1000 after two more halvings.

I think it will happen within 2 years. There is no doubt it will happen, question is when. With some new money coming in, it could happen this year.
Else give it 2/3 years

I feel like it would hit this year.

Seeing the price is at $450ish now and half way already to the $500 marker already before the halving still got 2 months left.

But thats just me and my hopeful view. I also think because the halving would bring more potential buyers as well too.

All market prices eventually reach their all time high again. The catch is if they survive and you wait long enough. IF BTC survives (like say FORD stock in 1929 crash)

it will 'eventually' hit 1000 usd....this includes regular inflation and other factors.

that's the catch......will BTC survive and long enough to get to that 1000 buck mark without it being like 2035 or some such

all depends on 'faith' and 'holding' and 'adoption' imho


again there's the rub :)

It may not be that high again but the current price of bitcoin is enough to make any investor interested to bitcoin, if it falls down again under 300 or 200 be sure that it will rise again but not in the 4 digits area.

Yeah the current price itself given big profits. I think this gradual rise will continue and when halving gets over we can know whether the price touches $1000 mark or not.

I think if bitcoin reaches to $800 at the time of halving, then we can see $1k by the end of the year 2016, totally depends on the price of bitcoin at the time of halving.

There are plenty of hungry lions with thousands of coins waiting to cash out at every decent price level. Even if we reach $1000 this year, it will not survive for long.

yeah right, I think this year all hopes on halving. if halving could make prices rise high, so maybe we could back to touch $1000. but if halving can not do much. I think we will wait a long time back to touch $1000

Yes everything depends on halving now, if price goes higher at the time of halving then it will be much better and higher at the end of the year.

Truly bitcoin price for this year is completely depending upon the halving. As most users expectation sure it reaches $1000 if halving is effective.

bitcoin price depends on the market value and the supply and demand. so basically, bitcoin can reach $1k or more when more people know it and start using it in their daily life. and this will happen with more bitcoin projects a and sites appears

Yeah that's true, demand right now is high as everyone is speculating about the halving, but to make the price more stable we need more people holding their coins, so probably adoption and you are right, more bitcoin project to attract new users...

Yeah all bitcoiners were waiting for that to happen. Demand will be more if price rises to $1k, I believe that more users will be attracted by bitcoin at the time of halving.

Why would you say that lol.

I mean yeah its a logical choice to cash out a higher price point, but I wouldnt think everyone would do this only cause they can potentially see it to go higher.

If bitcoin reaches to 1000 and if you don't sell at that point then definitely you are playing with your profits and it would be a really worst decision  of your life for not selling a that higher price.

we have to look at the effects of bitcoin prices before halving, if before halving could rise very high, it is possible when after halving the price will be higher.

Price has started to move up now and that suggests the positive news at the time of halving if it continues to rise before halving then we can see $1k coin at halving.

The chance is small that it can happen but not there is a possibility of course that it can happen and that will maybe happen about some 2 years.
Around this time it wont be possible because the value is keeping stable now around this time and that is quite bad.

It is hard that it can reach that value but I personally think that it will not reach that value because the value is not even rising now so there must be a jump or something.
And if it is going to happen than it will happen maybe after 5 years I think or even maybe later.

Not so hard this year. We will have block size increase, which will help more transaction and block reward halving.

Yeah I couldn't agree more with you, dude. When the halving happens in this year maybe the price of bitcoin can not touch 1000 Dollars of each. Maybe the price increases but not reach these amount. Maybe for the next year dude.

I don't think it will happen this year but i am sur it will happen eventually and that is me being realstic. The pric is just on a low rightnow.

I have been following the market data since day one,

Here is some market data that I have been keeping a keen eye on looking for trends in the markets and watching for Bear or Bull influence in the marker data

https://i.imgur.com/k1HLsH5.jpg

There has been a trend in the past 12 months of large dumps on the market followed by almost 20+ days of steady gains.  
Usually at the start of the month we see the trend for large dumps on the market, followed by a good rally in the buying of the coin with a steady price rise.

With block halving round the corner we estimate a 32.9% price rally as we draw closer to the inevitable date as people start to panic sell or buy on the markets.

well actually i think that it is possible, as price of bitcoin had a huge rise few days ago, from 420$ to 470$, and  i don't think that this rise will stop anytime soon

and also halving in July, it will rise price for sure, so i am almost sure that price will go to 1000$ or even more, as lots of people predicts this price at end of 2016 or earlier

The bitcoin price will trade around 450 dollars for a few more weeks. It is still in the consolidation stage after last year's rise.

If we see higher price at the time of halving then we might see $1k at the end of the year, but to be honest I feel that $1k is great landmark to achieve and it will take some more time to achieve it.

Even if the bitcoin price increase to $1000 this time next year, it is a good achievement. It is due to the community.

price is important only in a short medium period of time... if you buy today for 500$ you pay to much , but even one day we touch again 1000$ each bitcoin you have done a great deal! So I think that yes btc could touch again 1000$ but this is not the first issue of our preferred crypto ;)

Now many other factors have been involved in Bitcoin.It is possible to see price over 1000 $ once again but not in couple of weeks.I am also aware of halving which will just bring stability in price over 450-500 $.It is normal to see also some sort of speculation for temporary period near halving.

This price is achieveable in the next year but not possible to achieve in this year as  price is rising slowly so we cannot expect this price in short time.

It wil happen again, of this I am certain but it may take a few years. The 1.3k Was really hyped and such a hype is not likely to occur anytime soon.

Yes it could happen sometime soon but that's me being very optimistic. Overal I expect the price to go up to 600 this year and next year? Well we will see. At the moment it is good to see we are far above 200 dollar.

yes I think it will reach that margin again and it will happen when halving will take place . after that we will see that the price of bitcoin has touched $1000 and I will say that at that value it will remain for longer time.

Yeah and I don't think that bitcoin will fall back to 200 in coming days, as price has started to move up now  so we can expect higher price in next couple of months.

It will not fall back to $200 in the future if there is no big disaster to the bitcoin. But it might fall below $400.

The price is around $700 now. I think after the halving, the price will stay above $500 for the long term.

Well I think we will reach it's 1000$ mark again this year if we are lucky and if not it will only go above 750$.

Agreed. I don't think we'll ever see sub $500 ever again.

Its quitely rising for now as we can see but for predicting that price come up to 1000$ will theirs possibilites but i think its very hard to reach for now since the price today is 700$ and also its halfway mark to came to this halving event, surely the decent price we can predict for it now is 800-900$ in july,

we can easily reach the 1000$ mark i think but in the mid-july. halvening will boost the price and for sometime it will go above 1000$ but it will not be stable at that point. again in a few days it will come back and i think it will become stable at 600-700$. im waiting for it to reach at the highest point so that i can sell my bitcoins and fulfil a dream which i have.

What's your goal selling price?

I think definitely, it will be very easy for bitcoin to reach $1000 again. When it happens though will be simply a matter of time in my opinion. Bitcoin has great potential to be achieved.

When fiat collapses, it would be easy as for bitcoin to achieve $1000+.

As you can see now you see that the value will be higher and that is perfect but I think personally that the value will not reach that high value soon.
And it is hard to know what will happen with the value of Bitcoin so that is the risky thing of Bitcoin.

When in some parts of the world the fiat currency system starts to break,I can tell you we won't talk about $1000/BTC anymore.
In such a case we would hit the $10.000+ barrier!!I have no doubt about that.

I think even without the break of the fiat system, the price of bitcoin will rise a lot. Imagine if 10% of the USD is replaced by bitcoin.

We will get there and plant the 'second high flag' there ! ., enjoy the show untill then.

I agree. We will be there sooner than later.

Bitcoin price is going up day by day if we can long term i mean 1 years later bitcoin prise will pass 1000 dollars mybe less time but i know bitcoin will be 1000 dollars again.

1000$ ? nope on this year

$1k is not huge milestone to achieve now, we may see this price at the halving, and if it doesn't reaches there, then we can expect it by the end of this year.

I think it can be achieved, or even higher, of course, this is what I want.

It does not matter if we want it or not, the price will be higher than $1000 in the next twelve to twenty four months.

This year it will be difficult, as the last pump was really huge and we were still far off from $1k. Next year? Don't know, maybe.
It is really not that easy, as to write it. It requires a lot of volume and new people to move their money to Bitcoin.

May be we can see that price at the end of the year but definitely not possible to achieve it at the time of the halving as of now its too high to expect from the halving.

things are most probably are going to change but we are going to be stuck at this price level for more time now. especially this year in 2016 when the block halving is about to happen, things are gonna change and market will get exciting again and price will be in high volume So I am sure it will hit 1k$ easily.

Over the last couple of months the price for each individual bitcoin has seen a staggering rise and now experiencing a steady rise. This is of course a great thing for every bitcoin user, both for the debt holder and the lenders. as bitcoin usage and adoption is growing there is more possibility for price to reach $1k mark.

Yeah and coming days will be really important for the future of bitcoin, as if we see rise in coming days then we can expect the price of $1k at halving.

Yes i am pretty sure about this mark of $1000 very soon it is coming on the way, after block halving there is pretty good chance exist about this milestone and that is why i think into 3rd Quarter price will hit $1000 as like it has some positive rise there.

We already had huge volatility, high volume and a lot of speculation fever and we ended up pretty far away from the $1k mark.
Therefore, I think we will have to wait a bit longer to get there. Pumps usually do not repeat that quickly, if we take into account volume of the last pump, and there are no fundamental reasons to double the price from here. 

Previous halving was a non-event for the 'future of Bitcoin' and so will be this one. Halving is not about the future of Bitcoin, but rather an excuse for a speculation pump to suck in new bag holders. I wouldn't expect more than that.

Of course the Bitcoin is going to reach $1000 again sometime but when it is going to happen is still a question that has to be answered. I think that it is possible for the price to reach $1000 this year but the price has to really rise for that to happen.
If not then I am sure that it is going to happen next year in 2017.

Possible that it will reach that level. But lets wait and see after the halving of BTC because its the major factor that's gonna affect the price of bitcoins.

The $1000 has nothing to do with halving. There are already 75% of the bitcoin out there. The having has less effect.

halving still has a lot of impact on bitcoin price in my opinion, and the price is definitely going to grow a lot in the near future like during the previous halving, i hope that it will make me good money

Nor will it ever get to 1k because of just the halving. Sure the halving is a very important thing for bitcon, but 250% increase is just... too much.

well i think that the halving will surely make the price grow pretty soon to the new all time high

bitcoin is prominent and if larger entities are taking it seriously enough, the price could eventually witness a high-rise again.

well logically halving can cause a rise but not to $1000 but based on experience halving can cause a big rise to $1000 and above and that is because of the hype it brings to bitcoin price. and you should always take hype seriously because it has a very powerful effect.

I think the bitcoin price will reach $1000 in the next 6 to 12 months. More people will use the bitcoin in the mean time.

That could be true. When the bitcoin block size is increased to 2MB or higher, the price will be $1000 or higher.

I think we are close but we must wait for at least 6 months and it will be because of the recent halving event. However, the price might drop significantly after we touch $1000 and might again come back to normal because of panic selling :)

I'm personally thinking that it'll probably take closer to a year to hit $1,000 again, but I could be wrong. Just considering we got out of the halving upswing (which occurred over a few months) and we have a bear run going, 6 months might be a bit too short of a time period. I'm thinking that we can hit $800 by the end of 2017, but I can't guarantee anything.

No body can guarantee what will be the price of bitcoin at any point of time even the experts.But yes we can all predict and give our opinions and i am thinking a bit ahead i think we can see bitcoin price to reach the 1000$ in the year 2017 may be till the end of it .
Lets see what happens but right now i am only focused on what changes we may see in next few months.

i am not thinking about it but i am sure that the price of bitcoin will even cross 1000$ very easily. i am hopeful that at the end of 2016 you will even see the price of bitcoin about 1200$. i think it is still good time to buy bitcoin. if some one is interested he can buy it other wise they will be able to see the present price in future.

It will not be very easy to get to $1000 very easily. The $1000 price could be reached in the first half of next year.

i guess btc will reach $800 to the end of this year but not to the reach of $1000. anyway lets hope for $1000  :P :P :P

Its expected that we will see that price in this year but again we cannot be so sure that it will happen may be it will take long time to achieve that price.

I think the $1000 is not very possible after the Bitfinex hack. It might happen in 6 to 9 months from now.

It will depend on the adoption, if we find new investor in coming months then that price is likely to be achieve by the end of the year.
