$10k=2016

your thoughts?

this is a fuckin shitpost, blacky

2020.

Wishing, hoping, but if that happens, bitcoin would be illigal in a few weeks...

wishes.

I had double my money, if is can be tripple, i'm pleased 

2017

I agree, by 2020 we should have a market cap around 150 bil if everything goes as planned.

We went from 5-7 billion in about 2 days... Money moves fast when greed and fomo sets in..

Just to let you guys know mrkavasaki=blacky90=kenji
He probably has more shill accounts to spread fud and spam bullshit.

I am quite sure of this after halving of blocks to be completed bitcoin will reach 10K $ in 2016 exact this time will be when people will be talking about next level of price which will be 20K $.

You mean if price ever increases to 10K, it will make bitcoin illegal?

May I ask why do you think so?

I actually laughed cos of this comment  ;D

Even I have about $1k = 2016
so 10k is impossible, but it may be possible if you change number $10k = 2106

That is really optimistic such price change will not happen. I guess the price will be bit higher but time will tell. It depends also what will happen with the acceptation in the country's all over the world.

I don't believe so, I'll believe it when it will actually happen.

$1000, that's a more realistic amount

As I also said in previous threads that think in prices in the range of $2000-$10000; We have to get to $1000 first, and building a strong enough support level to advance even further. Answer to OP; No, we won't see $10000 in 2016.

No way that this is going to happen.
For this to come true there had to be some serious impact to be happen in the financial world.
I can not see this coming.
But $10k is possible of course.But this is going to take several more years.

I think he is just kidding about that part. IMO, $10,000 would make bitcoin legal in more countries.

10k next year is quite unlikely. At first we have to break through 1K, and keep staying above that :). Perhaps around 2020 we can have a solid support around 10K if nothing really bad thing happens.

Yes unlikely.  But there is unlikely things these days  ;)

2013 : 100 USD
2014 : 200 USD
2015 : 300 USD
2016 : 600 USD
2017 : 800 USD
2018 : 1200 USD
2019 : 2400 USD
2020 : 5000 USD





humanity is slow ... even at the collapse of the economy.

The price about next year 2016 seems reasonable for me but the price does not get doubled every year, so 10k is hard to reach.

Wow! How on earth can you come up with that? It will take at least 5 to 10 years to even come close to $5,000, let alone $10,000. This is beyond realistic to happen in 2016.

My price highs are $1600 with 4MB blocks and $3200ish with 8-10MB blocks that can occur sometime during the 12.5 block reward period.  Maybe with a nice China or fiat crash or something it will just explode to unbelievable levels though.

Agree. I don't see much more than $2-3k with the current fundamental state of the art. That is with the current block size and the current deployment. Outside of this forum there is still majority of people who haven't even heard of Bitcoin, let alone would like to use it and invest in it. Without mass deployment we can't even dream of $10k price, unless the fiat system collapses. With the latter one being announced for many years by gold bugs and alike but so far not happening, so I wouldn't bet on it.

If Bitcoin takes 5 to 10 years to reach $5,000 then it will have no hope of mass adoption IMO.  I've said this before in other threads but if it takes too long to catch on then most people will never show interest in it ever.

They are saying..... go to moon  ;D

The price prediction is quite realistic. The user base will at least double every year. The price could go even higher.

I think that's a little too soon to say.

We're not even at a solid $1000 right now, so I don't see this happening anytime soon.

You wish that will happend 10.000 dollar in 2016.

I just bet that it will reach 1200 dollar as max.

a bit underwhelming to see 600 only for the 2016, when we reached 500 few weeks ago, i do not agrre much on that, even if we are talk only as a stable value

right now we have lready a 350 stable value, almost 400, so if this is true by his logic, 2016 should be equal to 800 and 2017 should be above 1k

Yes they are some unlikely thingd but 10K is just a dream that is difficult to reacht. But maybe it will, but I don't think so.

I think we can reach that, but when bitcoin hit $500 it didn't stick around it went back down to a stable $300, maybe they meant for a stable $600 which I can see happen.

Wherever it may reach this time, but I hope we don't see a pump and dump scheme again happen like it did when it reached $1.2k and back to $250...

You stole my answer, exactly my thoughts! Nothing before 2020!

One thing is the maximum price (peak value) for the year, the other is the one that is stable and sustainable. This year I believe we have stabilised around $350 and the peak value was $502 (and it probably will stay like that). A stable $600 is not such a bad prediction for the next year. yes, we have halving event, which supposedly means the price max would be well above $600 (if the real mania phase kicks in again), but after that there should be also a correction and going down and stabilising at $600 is just quite reasonable.

2016 only 600 US Dollars I am kinda sad that will just that but that is oke.

If in 2020 will be 500 US Dollars that I will be happy that is just alot.

Well, the peak could be around $800 but maybe closing the year with a stable $600, wouldn't be that bad either.

totally plausible

Imposible Maybe it will happen in your dreams...   ;)
I hope it will happen. Maybe we dont know what will happen in the next day months or year.. so keep watching and be update.. and also check the market place if people sell bitcoins continously increasing..

Yet unlikely. I hope for 10k a coin but don't see it happening (at least not sustained).

Even 1200 dollars is higher for the next year, the halving period will affect directly the bitcoin price but will not double or triple it.

It is highly unlikely we could reach $10k next year. In my opinion, it will take at least few years and lot of ups and downs before we touch five digits.

Let me ask you a question. What do you consider mass adoption? We can't achieve that as third world countries don't have proper internet connections to use Bitcoin. We can achieve an immense growth in third world countries as they can benefit the most from Bitcoin. Reaching all these people may cost 10 years, if not more.

I guess what I consider mass adoption is adopted in the way the internet or cell phones have been adopted. Yes there are many people around the world who don't even have basic internet connections still but the proliferation in the 1st world is obvious to them they want and need to get on the train eventually. 

I've just always made the argument if Bitcoin is supposed to be this revolutionary thing then the marketcap can't stay too low forever before it risks fading out as a fad.

Ok, now the question is, how long did it take cell phones or Internet to conquest the world?
Internet started in the end of 60s and pretty much till mid-80s, it was purely inter-university network.
Cell phones started with the first generation, fully analog back then in the beginning of 80s.
So in each case about thirty years in which our life has changed significantly. The initial ideas had undergone many changes since then as well!
Bitcoin has been launched in the end of 2009, meaning we have merely six years since its inception.
That leaves us with quite some time to get to the mass adoption. There are also several problems yet to be solved, like, e.g., make it light-weight enough so that the people who have no idea about block chain would be able to pay for their groceries.

If it did hit 10 thousand next year then it would likely be the prelude to a massively damaging collapse. I don't think it could gather enough 'real' users to support such a price in such a short time.

Well, technically it isn't, since this is the speculation section and we are free to speculate. As for your prediction blacky, 10k seems like a guaranteed goal during 2016, or maybe mid to late 2017. At some point the FOMO will kick in harder than Ronaldo's penalties and we will see everyone getting in at the same time.

with each halving the price should go up at least tenfold from last sort-of-stable levels, so unless it's at level of 2000-4000 USD per 1 BTC reaching in 2016 and stabilizing there in 2017 I would call it failure. If history tends to repeat itself I wouldn't be very surprised if we reach very shortly (a few days) 10k/1BTC in 2016 but that will be likely followed by a crash to a level of 1000 - 2000 USD.

Guys keep in mind that in order to make BTC succeed it has to grow exponentially, anything less won't do it.

in my opoinion we can reach $10.000
2222 after all 21m bitcoin minned and after all people use bitcoin everyday

While 10k is extremely unlikely for 2016 (not impossible - this is Bitcoin) I think we'll see a new price shock as we permanently move from 3-digits to 4. By the second halving of Bitcoin in summer my guess is back to the ATH with major waves up and down before. How is that a price shock? We all believe prices will go up eventually, but for many people, psychologically, it will be hard to grasp the former ATH is going to be the new base price. Before the end of 2016 I can imagine a new actual bubble just when everyone got used to 1k being stable. This is when BTC might bubble, not immediately after the halving but perhaps a few months later. And by bubble I'm thinking 2-3k. When it finally pops, we will go back to 1.5k or something like that.

This is all speculation, but I've been watching the market since 2011 and have often been wrong. If I had trusted my first gut feeling, I would have kept many more BTC, but I didn't. This post here is another gut feeling, no more no less.

10k? I expect more frustration and BTC obituaries after the next major bubble pops that will keep the price of BTC stagnating for another 2-3 years. So, perhaps 2020 or 2021, after yet another halving and if BTC is still around and kicking as a reserve currency, we will see a bubble reaching up to 10k.

I have often been wrong, but mostly because I underestimated Bitcoin by powers of 10. So, expect to be surprised.

I actually share most of your thoughts that seem a very 'reasonable speculation'. I also believe the new ATH would not go beyond $2-3k, however I expect a sub-$1000 stable price in 2016 (actually closer to $600, rather than $1k). In case we get to the bubble area too fast that will have a very negative effect on the perception of Bitcoin and definitely won't help with further spreading the adoption. Also the more steep the bubble, the longer time to recover from it. It took us about 18 months in case of Mt. Gox bubble, this next one may take twice as much (pretty much to the following halving).

i like your style friend :)
we know bitcoin in 2010 is very cheap we can buying 1BTC=$1
nothing imposible with bitcoin price and everything can happen

That is so funny that you can think so amount of money with in a year. If all people know about tjhta bitcoin will be 10K in 2016.

I just bet that everyone well use bitcoin now.

I'm totally with you on this one. A spike to 2k will probably bring us to the next ATH before plummeting back to 500-600 to stabalize. A similar run to the last 2 years can then also happen again, but the general thing is that the price keeps trending upwards in the big picture.
I do not fully agree with the longer recovery. In the earlier spikes the movements percentage wise were much bigger and recovery was shorter as well. The news associated with the dump may have a much larger influence, as people lost trust due to Mt. Gox.

Highly doubt this will happen more like 1k maybe

I hope that happens in 2016, that would be awesome for me as beginer. But that would not happen.

Naw

10.000 dollars in 2016 is a big dream, but I highly doubt that will happen.

Who knows maybe it will in that is good for people who use satoshi xD

10K dollars is just to much money, so that means if I had just 0.1 Bitcoin tham I have 1000 dollars what that is to much.
But keep dreaming it won't happend in 2016.

you should not look at that way, you should look at this way

0.1 to achieve at that point would be fairly more difficult, very rare, only few people will have even a small amount like 0.2-0.1 and so on

going by your logic who had 100k bitcoin early, would have said the same, about bitcoin reaching $10

10K I wish that would happen. Than I am just happy. So that I can sell my bitcoins.

But that won't happend so yeah :(

There is very interesting topic on cycles in which exactly discuss this issue: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256918.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256918.0).
According to the charts presented there we currently just started 3rd cycle that should bring us at least to 2-3k of the peak value.
Would be interested, if you share your thoughts there.

I am sure the market cap won't stay another 2 years below $10 billion. Current market cap makes it very easy to be manipulated by wealthy players. I think we will hold the volatility as long as there are early adopters with a minimum of 5,000-10,000 Bitcoins. The higher the price is, the thinner the orderbooks are. An even easier target for whales.

its really possible in my opinion though the price needs to start rising as soon as possible because it will surely take a lot of time for this to happen

The possibility of the same is in the hands of us - the Community...
If we are to take the responsibility and decide not to sell our coins below a fixed floor, we might easily start seeing the values we want our coins at, as the whales will definitely not ruin their empires they established based on Bitcoins by doing Business with it...
Not just that, but also by giving the development and media Bitcoin really needs in order to get exposed to a wider audience...

I suggest you start wishing, hoping and praying really hard if you want this to happen.

I could see bitcoin reaching the value of $1000 again next year. That's what I'm going for.

It all depends on the market though, you'll never know what will actually happen with bitcoin.

I also think it will not happen. $3000 is the highest that I can imagine. The adoption of the coin is not big enough yet.

But in the recent article I have read, the bitcoin ecosystem almost testing mainstream adoption comparing to any other digital currencies/payment processors.
There are plenty of direct and indirect payment options for bitcoin to shop each and every human needs.
So, there are lot of possibilities to hit $10k price levels within this year.

The price could spike to $10k, but I think it might not stay there for long. There is too much incentive to sell at that price.

no, it won't rise so fast, bitcoin can rise fast and high, but not to 10000$ and not in 10 months form 400$ only

on other side, it can fall down really fast, in month it can go to 10$ in case of panic or anything else, so we need to secure this price first then think about 10000$

when something isn't very likely to happen still doesn't mean that it isn't possible. we have seen how our price predictions got trashed plenty of times already. and yes, you are right about the fact that the price can go down quite fast. building up the price takes quite some time and effort, while dumping the price down takes only a few hours. in these few hours months of building up the price have been vanished. Sad but the hard reality.

This might happen but it would be in the future for long years. Well what can we say maybe as per any person may know I should always stay positive for a long run. This will happen to encourage more positive energy then our future for this amount will be in a short span of time..

I do not see this happen anytime soon if I'm honest its just too much for a short time, the halving can create a jump but not such a jump in my opinion.
The fact the halving will let the price rise is true but max to a amount of 1,3k or something in that range, not of 10k, its even unrealistic if I'm honest.

I don't think anything is going to happen till the block size is resolved, and I understand that the Core group timetable has it penciled in for mid 2017

it's just a matter of time before the block size will get a bump to 2mb. but then again, i don't expect much impact on the price beside a short term peak once the block size is increased. after that all will be back to normal and probably another block size debate might come to life as the fudders will do everything to derail bitcoin.

we need much more on the fundamental side to happen. Just talking and hyping halving won't bring anything but deception. The price won't go significantly up until we have something on the table. Till then, the most we can expect is the pump similar to the one we had last November.

if you mean bitcoin prices in 2016 became $ 10,000, it will never happen, even to get through the $ 1,000 price for the year is not necessarily going to  :(

Never say Never... - "Justin Bieber"

Yeah just like that song, you never know! lol. You cant read the future, but the price predictions can happen if people see bigger increments to be "blieberable" see what I did there lol.

We must think realistic. And of course it wont happen because you can see that the value is not that high now on this moment.
And the value is now rising slowly. And you dont even know when it stops so if it is going to happen. It will take a long time.

I can understand why people think it will never reach such a price as we haven't even broke the $1000 for such a long time. Let's first see if we can get to that price level before speculating about higher prices.

10k for each bitcoin it's utopistic in 2016 and even in 2020. i hope that bitcoin will go to this value, but before i need to buy other at low price

Exactly. let's first move above $500 and manage to keep this level for longer than just few moments. And only then we can talk about further goals. If there is not much in terms of development happening then we may as well forget about higher goals.

10k is too much, $800 is still possible, but getting into 10k is too high.. as there is no reason for the price to go that high, halving alone couldn't pump the price that high..

??? any reason? you cannot conclude the exact year when the bitcoin price surges to the 10k. :P

I'm thinking next week, or maybe 12 hours before the actual halvening.  8)

10k this year is really far from reality,the demand for bitcoin is not that essential to others and still bitcoin have a long way to go before it can reach that amount.

10k itself is a dream, so 10k in 2016 seems to be something higher than a dream. Everyone would be happy if such scenario happens in reality.

yes it's true also i think we will never seen bitcoin reach to that prices in this year and the highest prices in 2016 might be still $1000 below but i don't know for sure because nobody else can predict the correct prices of bitcoin

IMO $10k in 2016 won't be possible. the price will not reach $10k until ten years from now (give or take a year) unless something big happen to fiat and gold. as an investment gold is still a hard competitor  and right now there's a lot of people that will choose gold over bitcoin.

The halving is priced in. The halving after that is priced in. Everything about Bitcoin is priced in. Any predetermined event (e.g. halvings) or number (e.g. 21,000,000 maximum coins) based upon the original Bitcoin source code was priced in as soon as people started trading bitcoin.

Bitcoin may go up this year, but it won't have anything to do with the halving.

You don't have to be upset as you can still buy yourself some coins to benefit from the price that will go up.

Did you read my comment?

10k is impossible, but it may be possible if you change number $10k

I think so. It's 2016 now. the price still doesn't go through $600, but for $1000 price, it's still possible because the price keep rising, hope it will be $1000 by the end of year

1000$ for 1 bitcoin possible at the end of the year but 10k is a big laugh.
With the current price at the market and all the news thats been coming out 10k will just be written in paper.

Yeah and I think to reach to 10k bitcoin will take a decade, its too early to imagine that price, as it is impossible to reach there in next couple of years, the max price of bitcoin I can see is $1k.

Bitcoin will never reach that high value. Or it must take a really long time and that is very hard. I hope that it will rise of course.
But we should be realistic and that is not realistic. We just have to see for what is going to happen.

10k per bitcoin i see this happen maybe in 20 years or so,i dont know how many halving would that be but the bitcoin is really hard to get by that time and sure the price would go up.

we can all dream about a day that bitcoin price is at $10K but honestly i don't see it happening in reality.
i am more interested in real prices especially if they are close like 6 months not 6 years.

Yeah that price is hardly to believe that bitcoin will reach that value in next couple of years, as expecting this high price would be wasting our time its better we believe in reality.

I agree that most of the price action this year will depend on the real development and not halving. We may get a pump similar to the one last November but that is it.
That won't get us beyond $500-600.

You are assuming that the markets are efficient.  ;)
A lot of trading happens based on sentiments and anticipation.
The myth that the price has to increase because of the halving is a self fulfilling prophecy.

We are very far from 10k in my opinion this will still take a couple of years maybe even more years.
Plus its also depending on this year if the halving is good and the price and users are growing it could happen in a couple years.

Even with the effect of the halving, this years price won't grow that much, not even in two years, it needs more and more user and buyer so that price would jump, but the problem is that people are buying it and selling it very early, and I think the effect of that is not good..

Illegal for what reason? It would just mean a lot of people would be billionaires just like Trump.
Then those people would use they new found valuable asset to do stupid and illegal things such as drugs and hookers. Then yes, I can see that.

if it takes 10 years to reach $10,000 then it means that it will grow with more than $900 per year, which is insanely high. even that will not happen. we must be extremely happy if we see the price somewhere around $1000 after 2 or 3 years. that can be considered a great achievement. i think the upcoming block halving will lead to a temporary growth as i believe the price will get dumped down again. let's not expect too much from it.

I agree. People forget what a bear market is too fast. We had 18 month long bear, but it seems like a distant memory. I don't understand where all these optimism and $10k prices come from. There are no arguments other than wishful thinking to support that.

Yeah, That sounds very very  optimistic but it seems unlikely for 2016 considering the current trend.

There are many scenario's possible but 10 k makes no sense. The charts at itself can look right, but you will find it very unrealistic when you compared it with realit.
A price going this high would make no sense to me.

For me the price going this high would mean a big bonus. but i don't see it happening at all.
Most of us are here for a quit win but this would be just a dream come true. I may be that the price will never reach this high.

Don't give your hopes up the bitcoin price could reach over $10k provided there are enough users.

Normal users don't make that much impact on the price. We need very wealthy investors to enter the Bitcoin market to see a real increase in the price. They have millions to throw into a certain investment. We need these kind of people.

But I think at present we don't have that kind of investors, majority of bitcoin community involves normal users who are trying hard to earn bitcoins.

Well, the Gemini exchange was aiming to attract these high level investors, but so far they failed in doing so. Not sure what their future plans are, but their so called "Nasdaq of Bitcoin" exchange is quite a disappointment so far.

That will take a long time I think. And that is impossible almost or you must wait a very long time and not everyone has that patience for it.
But we all know that it will take a long time and that we can have some profit, but we need to be realistic.

10k is impossible and i think it will happen maybe in year 2050 for now this year we will see the price i think around 600-700 after halving..
I believe for that than saying that the price will increase to 5k each this year..
Just lets hope that the price will increase more after halving..

it will surely happen way earlier in about 2020 because people will start adopting bitcoin at a very fast pace in the future and nothing will stop it

i think that bitcoin has a lot of potential to reach even bigger heights and become the national currency of a wide variety of countries

It will not happen fast. Because you can see that the value is rising very slowly so that is bad. I hope later that there will be more people that use Bitcoin.
And that the value will be more in the future. But it is really hard to predict the value and that is quite scary.

i highly doubt bitcoin will even break the 1000 barrier by the end of 2016. too many people would profit for it to become true.
even though the halfing is going to happen soon, i dont expect it to drive the price up 2 fold.

It wont be that high. That is impossible to let that happen. Because it is now rising very slowly so that will not be high.
I think it will rise in the future not to that high. And it will also not rise that fast after the halving.

Just thinking of $1000 is reasonable. If you people believe then your prediction is wrong. If such a growth takes place within a very short time the technology would collapse.

Most of speculation section is pure wishful thinking. People believe Bitcoin can go to $1k just on thin air, but the reality is quite different. They will have a hard reality check after halving.

$10k this 2016 is very much impossible...There is no reason for it to go that high this year..Even if we are expecting a price increase after halving, It won't be enough to go that high..Even good news I think won't make the price go that high this year.. That's ridiculous...

if the price has to reach 1k$ it will take a really long time. it wont be easy to reach those levels for sure in near future and a 10 k $ is impossible to reach , that is the reality

i don't agree with $10K price theory for bitcoin ever, not even in the future that the adoption rate is much higher than these days. so i would have to say $10k for 2016 is impossible.
even if there is a rise in 2016 the most it can reach is $1000

$1k price for the bitcoin is not a problem. I think the price will be over $1000 by the end of the year.

naah, its pretty much unreachable right now and most probably it will not happen in a few decades more

i think that such prices might happen in like 30 years only though if this will happen its a good investment right now

i guess that it will happen too because of the halving event that will soon happen and push the price up

i believe that 10 thousand dollars per bitcoin is also achievable though we will have to wait a lot of years

What if a bank goes belly up right around the halving? What would your prediction then be?

It wouldnt increase the buy orders unless everyone on wall st slowly remove their money into buy orders on the btc exchange.

If the bank goes bad, they just a hand out like last time in 2008 with their paid lobbyist or something else thats formulated prior.

They aren't doing another bail-out again, they changed the laws, so that everyone who holds money in the bank is an automatic shareholder. This system is referred as a bail-in. Banks have gotten so huge they have become a systematic threat to the dollar itself. So this time they'll let banks crash and burn, trying to save what is left of $$. They are stretching the death of the dollar collapse as far out as possible.

That shareholder thing apply to big amount savers. If you hold below the insured amount, you will get your money back.

You are right about that fact, the bitcoin is rising slowly, and even if the bitcoin would rise very fast it still cannot reach this amount.
The 10k is just right now and in a couple years unrealistic and impossible because the number is just too big if you compare it with the price right now.
Most likely there is a bigger chance that it will hit the 1k but this is even not sure.

Yeah looking at present scenario I don't think that value is possible for bitcoin to achieve as its too high to predict or expect from bitcoin, if we keep it simple and realistic maximum value bitcoin can achieve at a moment is $1k.

Yes $1k is the maximum possible limit that we can expect from bitcoin at a moment, and if goes higher then that it would be surely a win win situation for us.

Indeed, I think the bitcoin will also rise to a higher amount but the 10k is just too much for us all in my opinion.
I think the bitcoin will rise to a amount of the 800 dollar this year and within a max range of 1300 dollar honestly.

If you only focus on this year, then even $800 is a very high amount that we most likely will not reach this year.

I agree. With the current state of development we should go higher than $500-600. If something changes in that matter, then we may see the prices above that.

Even the current prices are fine as when $200 was priced in, miners were still making profits...
So, I think we are already in doubled prices as it's playing between $400 - $450, which seems very good for miners to just accumulate more and more coins and get ready for halving things...

Very hard nowadays to expect that Bitcoin will reach this high level $10k sooner, we need to wait the halving and see as we expect that the Bitcoin's price will increase highly after this event.

I would wager it does not for several months.

$10k is really high level and it's pretty complicated if the Bitcoin will reach it in the next few months.

I Wasn't very clear on that lol. I don't think it is going to 10k for a long time and I believe it is going to stay even for several months after the halving.

The next ATH HAS to be several orders of magnitude higher tan the last ATH which was around 1,200 USD as listed in Mt.Gox before it crashed. Everyone that is in the know and is paying attention to what's up knows that the next ATH MUST be something around $2,000 to $4,000, and not much less than that. The increases in price after an ATH gets hit in Bitcoin are always higher than the average user would expect.

Interesting, Opinions are divided but  is better to maintain a conservative stance especially considering the ups and downs caused by repeated and failed exchanges..........

Although it's only the start of the second quarter of 2016 and prices are already nearing $450, my best guess is that the price wouldn't go above $600.
Thinking of $1000 at the end of 2016 is just a little too optimistic. That's not bad either :p
Prices would dramatically change at the halving. Let us all hope for the best.

10000$ at end of 2016 is not realistic at all, we have 430$ price now and even after halving price won't go to 10000$, maximum it can go to is 1000$ but only if we are lucky

we can go to 10k$ only at 2020 but again, if we are lucky, but it would be nice to see such a huge price

No this is not going to happen and especially not this year. We are way to for from the $10,000. We are not even at $1000 and people are talking about $10,000 in 2016.

$10,000 bitcoin's?

Jesus I wish, maybe in like 10-15 years or so but I don't think possible in the near future.

Everything including Bitcoins are speculative, when people said it will reach $1k, they must have had something in their mind, so just think instead of saying this that why everyone talks about $10k everytime...

Nothing is to predict you are right but think about the fact the bitcoin itself is now 420 dollar it can not just go to 10k by far in my opinion.
I thin it will cost years to even reach the 5k so honestly I do not see this happen.

Yeah and if it reaches to $10k then I think it will be nothing less then a miracle as that value is difficult to achieve and may be we need to wait long time for to see that price.

To reach that level and be sustainable, will mean a lot of money put into Bitcoin. And it is not going to happen. It would mean a massive adoption, and that is not likely.

no it is impossible to go to 10000$ this year unless a miracle will happen, but i don't think so, it will be a miracle to see price around 1000$ too to be honest, price can't rise to 10000$ in seconds

price after halving will be around 700$-800$ and i don't think that it will rise more than this, just price is too small for that

The bitcoin is gonna go to a high amount soon or later but 10k in dollars is just so unrealistic the price is now very low and it would take a lot of years to do this, I think the bitcoin cannot achieve this because its just too much for it, 5k is the max.

5k could be the checkpoint of 10.000 u know, unless demand is exceed, bitcoin can go up to a price that you won't ever believe.

If the demand is higher and people can use it in many places, the price could go to $5000 easily.

No i don't think that it is possible because price now is way too small to go to such a huge price like 10000$ this year,

But after a few years like in 2020, it can be possible, because of all these halvings and so on, it just will take some time too

in order to reach prices of around $5000 and higher, we must see institutional investors enter the bitcoin market. with their fresh millions the market will get a huge boost. without these wealthy investors bringing in new money, it will be a very difficult job to get the price even to touch $2000 within a few years.

That is right. If 1% of the pension funds is invested in the bitcoin, the bitcoin price will be at least $200,000.

you need to convince those pension guys that they are doing the right choice by investing in bitcoin, so they are expecting a retun fro it, because i doubt those guys are investing because they believe in bitcoin as a new means of payment

It will not reach that value soon, as you can see now you see that the value keeps stable and that is not nice for the price rising so we have to wait a really long time.
And we need some patience for it otherwise you are selling it too early and that is bad.

I think that this is impossible and it will not happen in 2016. We are no were near $10,000 so the chance is almost 0% for Bitcoin to hit that amount in the remaining months of 2016. We will have to wait a couple more years for Bitcoin to hit that.

No this is just not happening we have not even reached the thousands yet so for the price to hit ten thousand this year is very unlikely. I'd like the price to be that high but I am just being realistic here. 

there are several facts that keep holding back these kind of investors to invest in bitcoin. for example mark karpeles's stolen coins. i am quite sure he sold a lot of his coins, but even after selling he still hold a few hundred thousand coins.

May be we can achieve that value in future but as of now it is simply impossible to reach there, even if it reaches to $1k at a moment then that would be the good price to hold.

that is exactly my point. Why on Earth, would these poor people, who probably never heard of Bitcoin, put their life savings into a pure speculation vehicle?
I don't see a reason other than going absolutely mad. I bet that more than 50% of the users in this forum would not risk their pensions either.

It is not going to happen in 2016 maybe we will see 10k$/bitcoin in 2020.  Even after halving when block size will be decreased to 12.5BTC we don't see 10k$ . Bitcoin will hit 600$s by this year.

What we need is for bitcoin to hit $600 and then once it hits it needs to actually hold its price around that value. Hopefully this isnt an artificial pump and prices will drop back down to normal  levels afterwords.

After halving we will hit 600$ but i am sure that bitcoin will hold it's price for long time and then it will keep rising . As i was recently reading an article about bitcoin . In that article the writer said that more investors and peoples are taking interest in bitcoins as investment . So it is a good sight for bitcoin .

Yeah well, over a long period of time BTC is in a uptrend but i don't think investing in BTC and holding it for a long period of time is necessarily a smart thing to do.
If you follow the news and activelly lurk BTT it might be better tho  :D

Yeah and bitcoin is on growing path and many new users will be added to community over a period of time, bitcoin can achieve the value of $10k in future but we need to have patience for that.

The 10k is just not possible in my eyes, its just too much for the bitcoin like people already mentioned.
I consider 10k as way too much the max that the bitcoin is maybe gonna reach is around the 4k in my opinion.

4k is also not possible, especially with 10k. we must look at the price of bitcoin could touch 2k it would be a long time.

It might be $18K if a dream I saw comes true :D

$2k is a long ways away, we might see something like $1k towards mid next year or soon after the halving if the market continuous in a favorable manner.

I'm excited to see where the value is going to go from here, all of this additional value being piled on was completely unprecedented.

When we were discussing about $10k, $4k has got more possibility. I believe might reach $4k after 3 or 4 bitcoin halving.

I'm also excited, I think the price will go to a amount of 1k max this year and maybe in the future to a even higher amount, if everything will go like it has been planned.
Most likely its gonna be very hard to accomplish the 10k and I think we never gonna make it.

After 3 or 4 more block halvings it will not have an impact on the price anymore as by that time the far majority of the coins have been mined already.

The price must go up by its own after the upcoming block halving in July. That's when we will see if the price goes up by its own or keep stagnant for a long period.

We never gonna reach the amount of 10k, I think its just too much, the maximum amount that the bitcoin is gonna reach is in my eyes around the 1,5k this year.
Maybe the future will let the price rise to a even higher amount but I think this will not happen.

The price is definitely not going to hit $10,000 this year of even the next year. If the price is going to reach 10k that means that the price has to keep rising from now on. We have to wait a long time before we see something like that happening. 

I do not think so. The block reward halving at most double the price. The block size increase will just double the price. So it is only $1600.

10k will in my eyes never happen such a number is not even realistic and I also think you cannot predict this.
We all can hope on it but this is just not reachable and I think we can dream about it all day but it will never happen even with some luck it will not reach it.

10k$ are just a marketcap of 155 Billion $.  For sure bitcoin will hit this mark, absolutly no doubt.  And if it just reach 10k I would condiser it failed.  
Every bigger tech company is worth more then 155 Billion$.

I think it will happen next year.

It's pretty impossible that Bitcoin's price will reach this price ($10k) in the nearest horizon at least. The actual price can showing us that even after the next halving may be the price will not going more than 800$ or so.

Now it looks and is impossible to get the price to reach such a high price level, but once Wall Street comes on board then it suddenly won't be that impossible anymore. Without Wall Street it will not happen.

by seeing the present situation we can finalize that the price wont go such a greater value, as quoted above reaching $800 at the time of halving is already in a doubt,two more months are there we shall wait, i hope that it will be achieved.

Yeah in reality bitcoin to reach $10k is a hard one. Halving would give a good increase in price, which might not be high as $1000 or something but gives every user an additional profit.

It is hard that Bitcoin will reach that value and that is because it is not even rising now so that is quite bad because the most people wants to make some profit with it.
And that is quite logic because making profit with Bitcoin is their main reason why they bought the coin.

Yeah it is way to soon for Bitcoin to hit $10,000 the difference between the price now and then is way to big. It will take at least another ten years before this is actually happen .

I do not see it happen, the 10k is just way too much for the bitcoin because, the bitcoin has a good future a head and I think it can reach a nice number but not 10k.
10k is just not reachable due to the fact the number is unrealistic.

yes it is an unrealistic price, even to predict the price of $1000 in 2016 is still difficult to achieve.

It will not happen  Because you can see that the value is rising very slowly
that it cant touch that limit

Wow, I like your optimism  ;D

His optimism is great but bitcoin needs more time before we can go to the marketcap of big companies.

well its not optimism in my opinion, its more like being realistic about the price because the price should rise even more in the future after the big pumps in my opinion

i hope that the 10 thousand dollar price will be available in like only 5 years because that would make me a lot of money and i would be really rich person

Bitcoin has an ability to achieve that value in future but it will take long time to achieve it and no one knows when that time will come when it will hit $10k.

essentially whether bitcoin will last forever.if it is able to live forever, perhaps we could touch the high price.

If bitcoin survive for next 10 years then it can achieve that value, but achieving it in next couple of years seems to be impossible.

If bitcoin survive for the next 10 years and keeps expanding its users $10k might be very easy to achieve.

Good point actually. The question is, if Bitcoin survives the next ten years?
Not sure. If all we have in store is another pumps & dumps, people may get bored after next three, four years.

In 10 years, the infrastructure for the bitcoin will be built universally. So the usage and the value will increase a lot.

Yeah and if bitcoin keeps on increasing on regular basis then people will show interest in it and if price gets stable then many of them will surely switch to some other product.

If the bitcoin market price gets stable its a good thing for bitcoin because it reduces the risk of price changes.

Difficult to see price stability in bitcoin and honestly people don't like it as it doesn't allow them to make quick profits but $10k seems to be impossible at a moment.

The bitcoin price will fluctuate around the $450 level for a few more weeks. So the big whales can buy more.

I think $10,000 price could happen in 10 years. But if there is big adoption of bitcoin by merchants, it could be earlier.

Just no. That means that the price has to go up with around $1000 per year to achieve a price of $10,000 after 10 years.

stay at 1000 USD for 1 month ...
and you can see a big rush on BTC = 3200 USD after 3 months = WAVE effect = 5000 USD stable.

bitcoin is not stable.
people don't have reason now (wait a cash of insurrance life and negative interest for 1 year and you see).

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img910/6019/ug1n3e.gif

Wallstreet and Bankster (and Central Bank) do exactly right thing to push the Bitcoin alternative to CASH.

The bitcoin is not stable at all and it never been stable, it will take a lot of years to even achieve this.
About the 10k it will not happen, I consider the maximum what the bitcoin will reach in its lifetime around the 5k but not higher...

$10k here we go, lets do this.

Come on whales quit pumping the ETH and focus on this bitcoin here before the halving... come on lets go..

You know you still love bitcoin then any other alt coin. $10k dream! Even tho we havent hit $1k lol.

The trading volume of Ethereum is huge. It is almost 70% of bitcoin. The price of bitcoin drops due to the Etheruem hype.

This would be great but in reality this is impossible as of the moment. Im okay seeing the price stable in $1k-$2k range. If that prediction happen, for sure it would be really hard to earn btc by that time.

Yeah and I also think if price goes that higher then we won't have an opportunity to earn from signature campaign, as they might shut down their campaign.

signature campaigns are an interesting form of advertising for services and companies. they will continue to exist as long as the forum rules allow it. higher price of bitcoin will only result in lower signature campaign earnings, that's it.

10k it is possible and a nice amount of money to have for one Bitcoin but when can this actually happen. We are not even in the thousands at the moment so it is very hard to predict when this is going to happen.

Yeah campaigns will continue to move on even if bitcoin price goes higher, but there will be sure change in payouts as they will reduce the rates for sure.

The chance is not that high that you can make such a high profit with the Bitcoin and that is the problem and nobody will also now what is going to happen with the value.
And when the value is going to rise so that is the problem and that have to rise soon we all waited already a long time.

The problem with a bitcoin reaching this value is that it will have to become more widely used and exchanged.  If there's to only be 21M BTC total and with a current world economy worth about $75.5T then that would bring every BTC to be worth $3.6M each if only bitcoins were to be exchanged.  So reaching $10k is defiantly possible.

But the biggest road block I see for BTC taking off is the denomination of bitcoins are not built to fit into everyday people's thinking or spending.  Just think the average salary in the US is approximately $30k and people work all year for 3 BTC.  Or a monthly salary of .25 BTC.  I can't imagine working for a complete month for .25 of anything and the idea of buying a candy bar for .0001 just doesn't make sense.  People don't like to think in fractions or decimals and will want to be paid and spend in whole numbers.  Until the mBTC or mircoBTC are commonly used terms then BTC will suffer to gain popularity among normal people.

10,000 dollars in 2016 is something that is never going to happen that is just unrealistic. We have to think about what really can happen and not what people hope for that maybe can happen.

This is unrealistic approach which is not going to happen soon.In fact no one can not predict anything about Bitcoin's price.But there should be so reasons and ground preparations to happen all this.There will be some increase in coming weeks but false hype isn't making anything positive but disappointments.

It will not happen in 2016 that is for sure because we are almost halve way 2016 and I have seen no signs yet of the price being 10k. We will at least need two more years for something like this big to happen.

I agree we are now 5 months in to 2016 and we have seen no sign yet of the price being 10k per bitcoin. It is just not going to happen this year.
Maybe next year the chances of that happening are greater.

do you even know what you are saying? of course there are no signs of seeing $10,000 prices this year. there are even no signs of seeing $1000 this year...

That is a lot of money but it wont reach that high value soon and that is because it needs a long time until the value will be higher and in the end of the year it will only reach some $500 I think.
So it takes a really long time when you want to reach that high value so you need also the patience for it.

$10,000 is about 25 times of present price. It might take up to 10 years to achieve that value.

Exactly it will take almost decade to reach there as its not small amount to be achieved and its only possible if we see mass adoption in future.

Sooner than a lot of people predict, we'll reach 5 figures. I think a lot of people that will sell as soon as we hit 1K again, will become extremely depressed once they realize the magnitude of their mistake, best case scenario it will only cause depression, worst case scenario, suicide due missing out on massive gains.

it may just as easily take 10 months to achieve that value.

you can't really tell

If the price rises 50% a year, it will take 8 years to rise 25 times. But it might be shorter as bitcoin is still very young.

We will be soon at 1000k again as the new floor, so that will be doing x10 of the last ATH. Extremely easily done as more and more countries start removing cash and making citizens pay stupid insanely high taxes, they will look for ways to keep working outside fo the government radar so they can make enough money to pay the bills, which will lead to a trillion+ dollar market of Bitcoin jobs. We will be at a solid 10k+ per coin Bitcoin in the next decade.

and to reach $500 apparently did not have to wait the end of the year. but today the price so quickly increased to $500, and the end of the year could possibly touch in $1000 because we will also pass halving.

It shows how pessimists a lot of people became. When the price is not raising quickly and it becomes stable, people start making very soft predictions, they stop believing in impossible things, but Bitcoin proves them wrong once again. Everytime you start considering a prediction as unrealistic, it ends up being reality. We've just hit 530 hours ago, and we are already at 520 after a small correction and it continues going up. This is fantastic.

in 2013 the price rose 100 times in 11 months

if this was the result of the halving in late 2012, then we might see something of a similar scale in 2017

No, that was not the result of halving. The rise due to block halving is about 10 times. The rest is due to Mt Gox manipulation.

Bitcoin will not reach that high value and that is because it also needs a long time until the value will be more worth so that is really nice of the Bitcoin.
But it is still hard to know what will happen with the Bitcoin and it would be nice of course if we can earn a lot of profit with the Bitcoin.

The mass adoption of the bitcoin takes time. According to networking effect, when the user number double, the price will quadruple.

Bitcoin has an ability to achieve this price in future for sure, but we have to wait for a long time to see this price, may be in next 5 years it can achieve that price.

We don't really need mass adoption to make the price go x4 times higher than it is right now, we only need a handful of whales diversifying on their big wealth, and one of the best options to diversify which is getting increasingly better is Bitcoin, therefore Bitcoin will be used a lot by whales in the near future as a new way to spread their wealth, this can have a bigger impact than a ton of people owning small amounts.

uhmmm, any proof that it actually is a real thing? i have never heard about it to be honest though it would be really cool as it would mean that its easy to make money with bitcoin

it is surely possible that the price of the bitcoin will grow that much in the upcoming decades though we will need to wait for a while in order to benefit a lot from it

If you have patience to hold your coins for next 10 years then you will see that price not possible to achieve before that so hold it for higher profits.

There's no way to tell exactly how much of the rise was caused by which influences.     

It was a combination of factors, just like how the next rise will be a combination of factors.

In 2013 it was the halving+Cyprus+mtgox+some other shit.

In 2016/2017 it will be halving+Chinese capital flight + South American capital flight + blocksise increase + other factors.

I do not know when the value of the Bitcoin is going to be 10,000 Dollar but it needs allot of time before we finally get there. It can be possible somewhere in 2019 or 2020.
I do not see it happening anytime sooner.

2019 and 2020 are less than 4 years away. Seriously, how do you expect the price to get there in such a short time? It will need to increase with at least $2000 per year from now on to be $10,000 in 2020.

actually i think 4 years for reaching high prices is more than enough. but we should first consider if $10,000 is a possible price for bitcoin or not? my guess is that this price is not possible and more like a dream of someone who want to become rich overnight. half of that price seems more reasonable to me.

The price is 2020 will be 16 times of present value, so the price will be around $8,000 each. If there is more adopton, the price could be higher.

I think the $10,000 price range could be achieved in a few years, maybe in 5 years. It depends on the development of the coin.

yeah people keep thinking about these high amounts of money without even being a little realistic. There are just investing and hoping that the price will be 10k out of no where.

I am looking forward to the price being 10,000 Dollar because I will sell some of my coins and it will earn me allot of money. I do not know when this is going to happen.

The price of Bitcoin will not reach that high value and that is because it will takes also a long time until it will reach a higher value because it is rising slowly so that is nice.
But you dont even know for how long it will rise and that is the problem of Bitcoin.

It seems like every time one of these threads come up, the speculated value goes a few thousand dollars higher. Regardless of whenever the OP was created.

$10k would have to happen at least a decade and a half from now, probably further from there to be honest. We won't be seeing $10,000 for a long, long time, and we'd have to set at least a $6,000 ATH in order for such claims to be viable.

it doesn't really matter whether or not it will be a slow journey to such insanely high price levels. if it's ever going to happen, then real holders will benefit the most from it. see it as a bonus on top of your retirement money. that's why it's not a problem if it takes 20 years before we come even close to that price. you know that you have something that will continue to grow. that for me is very important. growth of your wealth is everything.

I think the price will double in the next 5 years, so it is possible to achieve $10,000 in 5 years. Then the price rise rate will decrease.

Becuase doubling will make it it $10,000? That would only make it 1,200 if my calculations are correct ;)

Or if you mean double every year for the next 5 years, than it would be possible to break the 10,000, but that is very unlikely as there will probably be years where the price stagnates or goes down, just like the past 2 years.

We all have seen what Ethereum did, even at market caps and adoptation rates that nobody expected. Captial is flowing into cryptocurrency, and more positive momentum might result into this new capital finding its way into bitcoin.

I think for the next 10 years, the user will increase gradually. The increase will not stagnate for very long time.

That seems pretty unlikely for a such short timespan right now. However, if there were to be a major currency crisis in 2016, which is possible but not probable, then well, even $50k is possible.

Everything is possible with bitcoin, it's just that some are more probable than others.

$10,000 is unlikely. I think the price could reach $1,000 by the end of this year. $10,000 is for 2020 to 2022.

I thought this topic will dry out, as there no logical reasons to talk about $10k price in the next five years. If Bitcoin is still around five years from now, we may come back to this discussion and see if things changed enough to get this price, but for today it is a sci-fi section.

I don't think even five year later from now bitcoin could reach $10k so i agree with you if not logic to dicuss about bitcoin could reach $10k soon if can. maybe we can talk about it if the price per one bitcoin has touch $8000-$9000 it's more closer than price now.

I will make an outlandish guess. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in a year's time. Perhaps I will update then.

We will see a spike in price after the halving, followed by volatile waves of selling and buying and the mother of all short squeezes. If - and I don't know if this is possible - but if the price can consistently rise and stay between $1200-$3000 USD for at least 2 fiscal quarters - let's say to Thanksgiving? -  we will see 'explosive percolation' - there will be such liquidity and price stability that we will see an increase in fiat flowing into and through bitcoin from various sources which will cause demand to increase and shoot up to perhaps $10K-$50K-$100K in a surprisingly short period of time (yes, BurtW, I know your model says it can't go that high this soon, I respectfully disagree :) .

I'd expect this to be led by, say, FX currency traders using BTC as a hedge for their trades (the FX market is measured in the trillions of USD), or the BTC supply curve being rapidly recalculated by 'Mr. Market' after first the halving and then the Lightning Network launch. These events will in turn force coins off exchanges and out of the hands last people who'd be willing to trade at $3000 per BTC, and we all realize just how many coins won't sell for that price (or presumably any price) because they're inaccessible/lost/in hands of people who will never sell. That recalculation of both supply and demand will in turn kicks off the FOMO train, and the dumb money will flood in.

The road to $10K and beyond lies through a sprint to to the $1200-$3000 range after the halving. Hang on to your butts, things are juuuuuust about to get interesting.

5 years is a long time in the history of crypto currency. The bitcoin has risen 1000 times in the last 5 years.

We are not going to reach that high value and that is because Bitcoin needs a long time to rise to that high and the value of Bitcoin was already stable for a long time.
So it needs also time to recover until it can jump or something so we need some patience for it/

$10k is something a very big price when we think about most users expectations. Most users expect a price around $1500 to the max on halving. Now with recent increase continuing people have got some extra hope that price might touch $1500 but not at all $10k.

$1500 could be a price for early next year, or this time next year. $10,000 is the price for 3-5 years.

With the current rate of rise of the bitcoin price, it is possbile for the price to be $1500 in December.

Yeah that price is too much to be expect $10k will take more years to be or we maybe just surprise these next years will be a more big price rise because of its uknown users and investors added everyday.

$1000 is the price for this year, $10,000 is the price for 3-5 years. It also dedends on the adoption and innovation.

Bitcoin surely has potential to achieve that price in future but we don't know when that exact moment will come but $1k is surely possible to achieve in this year.

I agree with this. $1000 is not a problem for the price in December. We just need the price to rise slowly from now on.

If bitcoin touches to $800 by the end of this week then I think 1000 usd is possible to achieve at the time of halving, and if it does then price will be much higher at the end of the year.

It would be much better for the price to rise sustainably. The price has risen 50% in the last 30 days.

Present price hike suggests that the price will go higher beyond our expectations in coming days, it will not reach $10k but surely the spike indicates that $1k will be achieved very soon.

We are not gonna reach the 10k this year, maybe in a long term but we can predict this right now ?
No, we cannot predict this and its all a matter of time before we know it.

Hmm, a lot of people either weren't here for the last 2 bubbles, and/or can't think logarithmically.
We're hitting $10k this year. It's a bit obvious. Hold on to your horses.  8)

going $10k is too hard i think
but i can predict in 2016 can reach $800 per 1 bitcoin

Of course the 800 dollar will happen we are not far from it anymore so I really have no doubts about that..
Its just a matter of time before this will happen.

I think $ 10,000 would not be achieved in four years. probably in 2025 bitcoin prices will exceed $ 10,000. we expect only bitcoin prices will increase further.

I honestly think the 10k is not gonna reached at all, its just way too much for the bitcoin in my eyes, its just such a large amount.
The max what the bitcoin can reach in my eyes is the 5k in the upcoming years..

Tell that to 1.5billion Chinese people....

I think 10k in a long term perspective is actually a really really small target for BTC. In fact inflation will probably distort BTC prices and therefore 10k will not be worth very much anyway.

I'd say that we'll hit $10k within 3 years.

I am hoping for the price to be 10k because if that happen then I am just going to sell all my coins and stop with Bitcoin. I will receive some descent money then.

Reaching to $10k will take time and I don't think many people have patience to wait to see that price, even if it hits $1k majority of people will dump their coins.

Its tiny and possible, look around at the value of other things, paypal is still worth much more than bitcoin and paypal isn't even a currency/asset itself.  Bitcoin use hasn't even began if you think, if all paypal users used bitcoin $10k isn't enough to support that growth.

Yeah and I think in future bitcoin can achieve this milestone, as more users and more adoption will take bitcoin to a higher level, so $10k is possible in future.

The value of Bitcoin will never reach that high value and that is because it will not jump for a moment and you have to know that there are now more people also that is going to make an investment but it is not rising that fast.
We have to stay realistic and of course you already see now that it is becoming more worth and that is for Bitcoin but it takes time to reach a high value.

Bitcoin definitely has that potential to achieve that high price in future, but no one knows when that time will come may be it will take next 8 to 10 years to reach there.

10000 dollar is way too much for the bitcoin and I think we cannot reach this with a limit of users right now.
The fact is that the bitcoin first need to gain a lot more users to achieve this.

it's still only 0.01c a Satoshi. We should be pricing satoshi not Bitcoin, right now you can buy 147,000 satoshii for $1, thats a bargain.

I have to agree. I guess if anything it can go as stable as $1,000 flat. There can be no way it can reach 10k$.

The bitcoin price could reach $1000 later this year. $10000 is possible for the next 3 to 5 years, not now.

never say never
it went from $10 to $1200
il admit 10k is a bit of a stretch until maybe 2020 but the next ath will surely blast higher than the last one so i think realistic prices will be $1200-$2000 in 2016

Not sure for 10k dollar
but for 1k dollar it will come true next month

I do not think so. We might see $800 some time next months, but not $1000. That is for the price in 6 months.

$1k is easily possible now, and  we never know we may even touch $10k price in next year as bitcoin has really has potential to achieve that price in quick time.

$10 will be the price when the transaction number is so high that we need the block size to be 8MB or higher.

I think if banks and government started to adopt bitcoin and made this currency as a legal currency for the state affairs then the price of it will reach to a much higher peak and will not drop down again.

Yes, that amount is much more higher no one can expect that price before 2020 or 2025, but sometimes I think that if the price can increase amount 10x in 2013 then why not now?

10k Will not happen. Even if we see people buy massively in. Just think about the holders. Everybody or close to 80% would sell before it reached 5k.

Right now there is no point in speculating about prices of $10,000 and higher. This is something we will only see when we have institutional investors take a position in Bitcoin. We need their money to lift the price to such levels. Without that money it will be very difficult to even see the price touch $2000-$3000 at some point in the future.

I think so. We need the big pension funds to come to invest in bitcoin to see such high price. Small investors will not increase the price so high.

But a large wave of small investors could. I think the bitcoin community increases with every halving. People talk about it more, hence more people buy in. I think we'll be reaching $5000 this year.

700 to 5k ?
Imposibruuu

Whats with the sudden interest in this figure? Everyone in the speculation board shouting "$10,000!" like a flock of freaking seagulls. Why? No way is it plausible, but maybe if we all just keep making threads about it...  ::)

Imposible, maybe it will happen in your dreams.
I hope it will happen and maybe we dont know what will happen in the next day months or year.. so keep watching and be update.
And also check the market place if people sell bitcoins continously increasing..

1200 was impossible to think for 2013, 700+ was impossible to think for 2016, now 10k can be possible for 2020, bitcoin is unpredictable

$10,000 is possible for 2020. But we have to work hard to promote the bitcoin and we need at least 5 million users.

I think if we remained with bitcoin after this halving and continued to use it as a currency , then the price will not drop down and then after next halving we will see the price of bitcoin around 10,000$.

All these speculations are extremely bullish except the guy who said 5k which is still very bullish but not entirely foolish. The price should theoretically rise slowly from the halving because the miners will be dumping less coins but to say 10k is just non sense.

Current holders selling is irrelevant to Btc being able to make it to 10k. Just think with a coin supply of about 16million, and 7billion people on the planet..
Right now bitcoin is still tiny for the phenomena that it is. Sure it's surpassed Twitter's market cap, but really bitcoin is like the internet, there will be Twitter sized companies utilizing bitcoin and it's security, for all sorts of things, if you had to estimate the worth of the internet, it would be very high, and companies like 21 Inc are integrating bitcoin into the web itself for payments.

This kind of speculations goals are far from the reality. It makes no sense. The price isn't even at 10% of 10k.
At the max I see room for bitcoin to achieve iet's all time high. But not more then that. Because many people who bought then, would sell their coins and a big correction will happen.

I do hope the price will not go down but i believe the price will have a minor crash the moment the halving is due. Without any expected rise, people tend do dump their coins, which will have a major impact of the current bitcoin price. That's my 2 cents.

Looking at the current price, it seems a fairy tale bitcoin going to 10k. My hope/goal for bitcoin is that it will will reach 1k in a matter of a few months.
From there we will see what will be happening.

Any thing is possible in bitcoin so anything is expected in it, the price $10,000 for bitcoin is not harder to achieve, if we spread bitcoin to all over the world and some major powers also give it some support.

It is why I now reserve to comment about 10K price.

Never say never .... bitcoin makes its own rules.

One thing is the maximum price (peak value) for the year, the other is the one that is stable and sustainable. This year I believe we have stabilised around $500 and the peak value was $600 (and it probably will stay like that).
A stable $700 is not such a bad prediction for the next year.

Do you mean the average price of $500 this year? I think we will reach that. But the peak price could be $1000.

Such a peak would be amazing, but it won't be before the halving and if it won't before the halving, i don't expect it before a 'end year's' rally like we saw last year
Maybe even starting 2017.

Well the price did already reachead to $700 for the past few days. But yeah the peak is really $1,000. And I hope before the end of the year.
It will going to be $1,000.
And for the next consecutive years the price would even go higher and higher as $10,000

The chance is quite small that we can reach that value and that is because you have to know that the value of Bitcoin is now rising slowly so we need patience for it.
And it is hard to choose the right moment to sell it because the value is always changing.

I will hold the bitcoin for the long term. So I will not sell at present. I will keep on buying to accumulate enough.

I also don't believe it will reach $10k this year, but in the long term... who knows? In my books it's perfectly possible to reach that price one day!

In 3 to 5 years, if there is good adoption of the bitcoin, it is very possible for the bitcoin price to reach 10,000

I am not sure about that. I have trasfered bitcoin recently, it takes too long time to confirm. I have bad experience.

I had bad experjience in transferring bitcoin as well. The Ethereum is much faster. But it has not much real world usage for me.

Yeah we all know that the Bitcoin price is not going to hit 10k this year but it surely is possible that it can happen after a couple of years.
When it is going to happen is impossible to predict, only time is going to tell us what and when it is going to happen.

it's different. some times confirmations come quite fast while other times it might take a bit longer. it could also be that you didn't include a high enough fee which might be a reason for your transaction not to get included by pools. it's not always the fault of bitcoin. if you add a proper fee, then the chances of seeing your transaction get confirmed sooner get much higher.

Most of the time, it is first, you get confirmation within 1-2 blocks. But some times, for the same fee, you get confirmation within 10 to 30 blocks.

It my eyes any form of a rally is a good thing, cause theres chances to get in for way less.

But you gotta also factor on peoples reaction, if the general sense people arent too bought in with the $1k marker if it does hit - it will rally for a bit for those who are new. And the old faces who seen a rally will have little reaction which can cause a back where we are at now.

to achieve $10k it will take long years, and if it happens no doubt there would be a lot of people selling at these prices and phases of adoption would continue.

$10k is really very huge price and i don't in the rest months of current it is not going to happen, maybe it will take some years to achieve this price and i also think in 2020 we will there, at the moment there is chance to get on $1k before end of this year.

maybe this could be in the end of the year or  ::) maybe in the middle of the next.
But this Price would open my eyes wide :) Ive already heard others saying the Price will increase untill 13k !!!

10k is allot for the bitcoin i dont think he will hit that amount as you know there are allot of bitcoin users right know i think when the users of
the bitcoin are getting smaller it will be possible to get 10k each for a bitcoin for sure but for know it is just a dream that maybe can be true.

$10 is the price for 3 to 10 years. If there are not fundamental problems in bitcoin , the price will be higher soon.

$10,000 is possible in 10 years. I hope the bitcoin developers will work hard and not influenced by a small company.

It will only be possible when wall street traders start investing in Bitcoin with their billions. If that will happen one day, then the price might even go higher than the $10,000 level. It's just speculation of course. Right now we first have to focus on reaching $800-$900-$1000 before dreaming about higher prices.

OP lobotomy needed?

There's no telling when it will reach a certain price. already there is lot of difficulties in hitting $800, first we shall see $800 then we can think about $10k.

I also think that it is impossible for the price to reach 10k this year, we are not even in the thousands yet and people are talking about these kind of numbers.
There are speculating way to hard and I think that we have to stay somewhat realistic here.

Yeah anything could happen with bitcoin. At the same bitcoin has the potential to reach such a big value, but even if it touches $10k the price won't sustain for a long time.

I agree. This year the price of bitcoin might not be up to the price of $ 10k. Well, even I am not sure that the price of bitcoin will rise up above the price of $ 1500, I think it takes many years until you can see the price, and maybe at that bitcoin is very necessary

This year, the price could rise to $900 to $1000. It is better not to be above $1000. Otherwise there is a bubble.

Im not sure if the price will still reach at 1k value but i think the possible price will reach this year i think arround 700 value to 800 value this is possible price will reach this year..

I do not think that the Bitcoin price is going to reach $5,000 this year or even with in 4 years I think that it is to soon for that.
We will need allot more time for something like 10k to happen, we need at least 5-10 more years for this and a blood bath on the forex markets.

Yeah 10k is too much, $800 is still possible not more than that, but getting into 10k is too high.. as there is no reason for the price to go that high, halving alone couldn't pump the price that high,  IT just made the price stable.

The price could reach $1000 later this year or early next year. $10000 could be reached in three to five years.

It is possible for the price to hit $1000 this year and I predict that it is going to happen at the end of 2016 but we will need allot more time for the price to hit $10,000.
I am not even worrying about that because I have to focus on what is going to happen in the present.

If there is continuous development of the bitcoin and it is adopted by many business, the price will be much higher.

I hope that the price someday can be $10,000 because that is a nice price to sell come Bitcoin for but first we have to hit $1000.
I think that it is going to quiet some time before the price is at $10,000.

Thats too high!! 2k$ has a chance but  $10k? You must be joking man.
You now have only 6 months to prove it.
And the is still at 670$ stable.

I don't think this will actually be only a dream, because if bitcoin can replace and be number one in global payment processors than market cap will be almost 10x of the current market cap. So atleast 7k to 10k$ per bitcoin is possible but may take atleast a decade or more.

yeah to see that high price of bitcoin I think we need to wait for at least next 10 years as I don't think it will be achieved before that and that will be possible only if see mass adoption in future.

The bitcoin price will keep on rising in the next 20 to 50 years. Initially, the growth rate is very high. Then it will  slow down.

I want the price to be $10,000 some day in the future but when it is going to happen that is what I do not know.
First we need to reach $1000 before we are going to hope for anything higher then that.

yeah we can see big big companies have started accepting bitcoins like steam and more to goo which will definitely boost the popularity of bitcoin and its obvious for the price to go up but i doubt for 1000$ + !

Steam has lots of users. So it is good for the bitcoin when it starts to accept bitcoin. It would be better if you can get some discounts.

I have spent bitcoin on other websites, I never get any discount by using the bitcoin, even though it costs less for the merchants.

It would be better for the bitcoin accepting website to offer some discounts. Their cost is lower than credit cards.

If these websites offer some discount, even that is just 5%, I will use more of them as it is good for bitcoin.

Maybe the cost associated with setting up the bitcoin payment is high at the moment, as not many people use the bitcoin.

There used to be a few companies accepting the bitcoin in my country in 2013. But there is only two now.

I think bitcoin is gonna go to a high amount soon or later but 10000 in dollars is just so unrealistic the price is now very low and it would take a lot of years to do this, I think the bitcoin cannot achieve this because its just too much for it.

litecoin at its lowest and bitcoin stabilising on the +20usd -20usd for 3 weeks.

get ready for a pump ...

The price has been found stable for a long time around $650. Now small fluctuations towards the increasing side is going on. If the small variation continues the price might reach $750 by the year end. Nothing such as 10k$ happens in short or long run.

It is totally impossible for the price to reach to that value in 2016, and now half of the year has been passed and we are seeing the price at $650 for a month, if theprice in 2016 will increase more than $650 then I think it will reach to $700.

i am quite optimistic about it. we could probably see 850-900usd by year end. imo

I think there is no much problem for the bitcoin price to reach $900 by the year end. We will have 2MB block size then.

The bitcoin is rising slowly, and even if the bitcoin would rise very fast it still cannot reach this amount.The 10k is just right now and in a some months is unrealistic and impossible because the number is just too big if you compare it with the price right now.

If bitcoin accelerate the growth rate in relation to the acceptance, I think it's possible in a few years.

If the bitcoin users increases 40% a year, the price will double every year. I think it will take 3 to 8 years.

Assuming that the 40% decide to invest in Bitcoin with actual money, that is. Just having more people using it won't mean much if no-one is actually buying anything. Having people work for a currency doesn't mean it has value, if anything it could result in the currency losing value as more of it is exchanged and orders are filled for lower buy orders. But having Bitcoin users increase 40% per year is an insane amount, and nearly impossible, unless everyone starts to join in on Bitcoin.

the price will always rise even when confronted with changes, soon it will reach a milestone that could boost the price even further and in future it will reach that value may be after 10 to 15 years.

Bitcoin have problems with 700$ , price will rise very slowly with adoption ..
It will take years for something that people expecting right now.

The bitcoin market price doesn't need 10 to 15 years to reach $10k. We might reach it much sooner than that.

people here have been spoiled too much. other than that, what reason can their insanely high price predictions be based on? some say $1000 for this year, which i think won't happen, but ok. some even up the bar to $2000 to happen this year... even more funny is the fact that they really believe it will happen. lol...

Seriously Its not good to speculate this much amount, Even with the effect of the halving, this years price won't grow that much, not even in two years, it needs more and more user and buyer so that price would jump, but the problem is that people are buying it and selling it very early, and I think the effect of that is not good.

Bitcoin rise is imminent, but won't be so fantastic as was it before.
Rise from almost 0 ,nothing, dust to 700$ is something! But this is it, wont happen again.

well, the majority of the people here aren't real holders. they buy themselves some coins and look to sell them as soon as they see the price went up like 10-20%. some people even panic sell their coins when they see the price goes down. we just have to accept this. a lot people look at bitcoin as being a short term investment. that has to change.
