Bitcoin price rise will occur before halving in my opinion.Miners need to stay profitable.I see a spike to $1500-$2000 by halving then a collapse to $800.A steady rise back to $1500 by end of year. It will hit $4k in 2017.

basically 2013-2015 all over again?

spike to 2k-->collapse to 800 = 60% decrease(not equal to the almost 80% decrese from 1200 to 200 but still...) and again a return to the main

i'm not a fan of predicting the same pattern of the past, but we weill see

The same speculation like year earlier and the price reached not the high most expected. I think we will keep the same price between 380 and 450 most of time. Sometimes we will see pump and dump but we will always go back to the same price.

What's the reason other than it being a swell idea? I can't think of much.

Damn then I should maybe hurry and buy a few more coins as long as they are that ridiculous cheap! :D
You're really extremely optimistic my friend.
But that's ok.Sometimes dreams and wishes come true.

We all hope the same occur, in the start when I heard about the halving and read more about it, I got the same idea and expectation about the price of bitcoin but after that when i read some people posts here, I started to run on the idea that it is not possible to reach up to $2000, so have a hope yet.

That could happen. The $4k price for each bitcoin is not high if a small pension fund invest in bitcoin.

If the bitcoin price is around $4000. The total market cap is about $80 billion. It is very small for many pension funds to invest.

very difficult to explain. bitcoin is very good in the internet, but I think it's still too soon to bitcoin up to $ 3000 to $ 4000 in one year. indeed in the world there is no word impossible, but in my opinion the highest price to be achieved in 2017 is $ 1,500 for a single bitcoin, but I hope it will really happen, because I am also going to get a lot of profit from it

This isn't going to happen.  There won't be an ATH run up until after the halving, if ever.  Sorry moon kids.  :'(

It will not happen. If it does then it will be just a bubble that will eventually pop and just drop back to a more realistic price.
We need more time and more investors for bitcoin to reach that price

i would love to see this happening in two years but i am afraid for reaching 3000-4000 USD bitcoin needs a lot more investors and a lot more adoption. but $1000-1500 is more realistic at this point.

because this is speculation board everybody has allowed to predict bitcoin prices and about OP predictions i would not says it impossible because there is always be chance to hit those prices and might be we will see bitcoin prices reach the highest prices on 2017

Come one man!
Nobody knows what will happen.
Therefore your negativity makes no sense.
Or are doing this on purpose because you hope the opposite will happen? ;)
You know like some kind of superstition. :D

You're right, nobody knows for sure, but my opinion is that we won't be seeing a new ATH until after the halving, if ever.

I have been following Bitcoin since late 2011 and was a miner through the first halving, and that's the experience I have in forming my opinion.   I'd like to be wrong, but I'd bet a BTC or two that I'm not.

For me this sound too optimistic. I would like to see bitcoin very high but I don't believe we can see this price in next 5 years. IF we hit it so fast then its not steady rise, its like x 8 in les then 2 years. Let's be real here even x 2 in this period of time would be amazing progress.
Anyway your prediction is maybe just your feeling, where is some good argument for your words, any proof..  just our feelings will not make price to rise.
I think we need to be satisfied with what we have now.

Planned 3400 USD.
sure, rock solid prediction.

Stay and you see ...

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I don't think bitcoin can reach to this value by end of 2017, this is too much to expect from bitcoin, I think it will be around $2k by that time not more then that, and this is just an prediction, not sure what will be the exact value.

we'll need to break the 4 digit barrier again and even 5 digits if we want to get anywhere near mainstream adoption.   

and it will probably be sooner rather than later.

once it breaks $1000 again i'm expecting it won't stop there.

Bro put the crack pipe down.   The halving is already reflected in the price and your estimate is way too high even if it wasn't.   We've been sandtrapped at 420 for some time now and it's anyone's guess when we'll break out--and we might even break out to the downside.   Buy hey, I would not be disappointed if your prediction came true.

We're stuck in staticland. I'm not so convinced the wider world is going to get excited about it any more. The market is large enough to support some usage and plenty of alt waves but maybe this is the new paradigm.

I don´t think so. Even I don't know whether the bitcoin price will achieve the $1000  level again or not. But I will be very satisfied with an approach to the $800 level.

it would be possible ... I think realistically rather >>> 700$-800$ after the halvening,

and at the end of 2017 1k-2k...

By the end of 2017, we cannot predict by by the end of 2016, We do hope it reaches 1000 limit.
Lets hope for the best

I don't think we can reach 700 to 800 $ and remain stable there. When all people will sell their coins it will be difficult to sustain higher
prices. We should watch closely the progress in this.

Yes, the Future is uncertain. Nobody can predict what can be the actual price of bitcoin the year end, or even by the month end.
That the beauty of this coin ;D

true, it probably will not happen. but I think the price of bitcoin might already over $ 1,000. the price as it is already more than enough for the year 2017 we can create another business if the price of bitcoin has a price of $ 1000 in 2017

I agree i dont think that bticoin will hit that price level of 3-4k i also dont think that it can even reach 1k this year it may strive but i doubt that it will be going there.

I don't think bitcoin can reach such price within a period more than 1 year because there are many step for bitcoin able reach that price.

Pretty funny actually. There's no fricking way that Bitcoin doesn't react violently upward in the next few weeks and then again after the halving in the fall due to the halving and the segwit change in protocol. The pessimism among folks here and those that will sell circa 6-800$ will just recharge the next run up into the stratosphere. We're on the cusp of a worldwide global depression/reset in currency values and this is enough to change the world in some big way. Meaning the stable and uplifting value of Bitcoin in relation to the other investable options, is going to soar. Not believing in thousand dolllar values in the Bitcoin atmosphere is where you'll lose out when the rich start bailing in to the only item making money.

Do you think that mainstreet will come before those that have used the central banks to make money, into Bitcoin? Wrong in a hard way. And frankly, it's not the mainstream that is gonna take this to the moon anytime soon. Mainstreet has made no money and are living check to check yet the ballers that run this shit will wantthe trajectory that Bitcoin is on as the markets flail. Their money and the rest of their crowd is going to drive the price into the heavens and this is coming soon. The market has sucked this year w/ record debt going up everywhere, so soon the bigtimers are coming to the profitable areas - Bitcoin and very few else. Bring in a few hedge funds and it's game time.

Mainstreet will come - but when the bubble is on its way to the moon. This year. Deny it if that's your piece and not trolling. The average person won't purchase a Bitcoin at this point when they know little about it - enter Litecoin. But the upcoming FOMO will drive any and everyone to get something on the ride up since their available funds will want to find something profitable. You need to get what you can now and in a feverish fashion cause this next move will be light's out and unattainable afterwards. We will see multi-thousand dollar coins this year.

No mate, may be price ups and downs be the beauty of bitcoin, but reaching $3 to 4k within this short period is impossible, I think we should not be so greedy, with the present situation reaching $1k means a great profit to all bitcoin users.

still too early to talk bitcoin in 2017 we still have to see what happens after halving. if want to speculate at least the end of 2016 bitcoin is above the 1000 USD. and 2017 is still very difficult to predict.

I don't think that Bitcoin's price will hit $3k-$4k by end of 2017, because nowadays the actual price is just around 400$ and it will mostly increase after the halving but not so much, may be it will reach 1000$ again soon.

it's basically pointless to speculate about prices above $1000 at this point. we can't even manage to get the price to reach $500. how do people seriously expect the price to reach $1000 then? let's first focus on reaching $500 and then $600 before dreaming about prices in the range of $1000 and higher.

Me neither,

Even if the price soars so high that would be a bad time to buy contrary to what happens now.

The bitcoin Price may reach $1000 this year for sure but more important thing is that it remains stable at something between 600 to 800$. If this happens it will be a great success.

Agree. A sustainable price around $800 this year would be a huge success.Therefore the price would have almost doubled compared to the actual.
That would be amazing.

I think it's more likely to see the price find a stable point at $600 than at $800 within 2016. Maybe that we can see the price be stable over $800 somewhere in 2017 as that's more realistic to happen within that time frame.

"I see a spike to $1500-$2000 by halving" I very much disagree with you on this one. I think by halving maybe 500 and a few months after 550-600 maybe.

I think its impossible right now but we don't know what will happen after halving maybe it will happen..
I have my own speculation and i think it should be happen the price will gradually increase from 400 into 800 usd and it will decrease back to 600-700..
This is just my speculation but i dont really know what will happen after blockhalving..

We are expecting more than double the price.

$k is too much for the next year...It needs a tough investor to make the price increase that high next year..With just speculation from its users, I don't think that it will happen...

Again. every price suggestion over 600 is just wishfull thinking. We all know it. Anticipating on it will just make you sad. Remember there is no reason to hype it.
Bitcoin is doing good already.

That is only possible if Bitcoin is going to jump but we all know that it will not happen soon because you see that the value keeps stable for a long time so it is hard to let that happen.
The halving will also not be that good for Bitcoin so we have to wait a longer time I think.

It needs a few billionaires splurging on bitcoins.... I don't think that will happen.
The hype about halving will not take it into 4 digits.

It's already nice if we see the price maintains anything above $500 after the halving. Everything higher than $500 will be a nice extra for us. But this all is only speculation. No one knows what will happen between now and the time the halving takes place.

with the recent changes in price and also the huge news about steam i think $500 is only a small rise away and we will see it soon, and it will be stable even before the halving.
so i am expecting a much bigger rise out of halving now.

Its one thing to assume all these prices.. but lets just see the buy orders across on most of these exchanges 1st lol.

But anything after hitting $1k, would be always nice to promote more potential growth.

Reaching such a big amount within one year is highly impossible, but the nature of bitcoin is that we can't predict its price value, so may be in future after seeing the halving and user adaption we can finalize whether it will hit or not.

Bitcoin will hit $3k-$4k by end of 2017

I wish man, at that point I'd definitely be ready to sell a good amount of my cold storage coins. There would need to be some significant news to enable a rise like that.

It's a bit optimistic, but in my opinion, not totally impossible.

We are having actually an uptrend despite of mainly negative coverage in the mass media. Many are talking about "the blockchain", but not more about Bitcoin. There are even a lot of new Bitcoin obituaries (https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/) ;)

When media coverage turns to positive again, the price can get up significantly in a VERY short time. We have already experienced that many times, and I'm not only talking about Willy's activities.

But I don't expect it this year. 2017 - it's early, but possible.

A bit optimistic? We haven't even touched $1000 again. ;) Reaching $1000 cost a lot time as there has to be plenty of buy support and perhaps an ongoing rally to push the price above that level. Reaching that price is just a first step. Step 2 is even much more difficult, and that is maintaining that price level.

this time if the price continues this way of slow rising and keeps the volume up i would expect the price to hit $1000 by the end of 2016 and the amount of publicity and news this huge rise brings to bitcoin can easily push the price up to $2000-$3000 in a year after that which makes it to the end of 2017.

it looks like it is a difficult thing. which I believe is enough to break the bitcoin 1000USD. but with bitcoin nothing is impossible. bitcoin is unpredictable. bitcoin is sensaional and it could possibly be reached.

After a very long term the continuous price rise is happening. We cannot expect this to continue for a long time. Only if this gradual rise continues till the end of 2017 we might experience $3k-$4k.

The bitcoin Price may reach $1000 this year but  will it remain stable ? the the real test for bitcoins.
price would have almost doubled 

Even if it can stay on  $1k levels for the end of 2017 could be a good price.

No, once iet reaches $1000 it will reach 3000$ to 4000 dollars, it just can't stay at 1000$, the buy pressure will be insanely high. When Bitcoin reaches 1K again, it will prove that Bitcoin is the only asset ever to rise from a super crash and then everyone will turn into believers, FOMO will kick in rampant and we will see prices higher than ever imagined.

We all know this, but atm most people are still transferring their assets to btc.  Once everyone is buckled in and the bubble has begun everyone will be screaming btc to 20000 usd and it will be time to start selling btc😈

If there would be many people willing to invest REALLY high amount, it is possible to see $3k - $4k by the end of 2017. But that would cause a dramatic change in the global economy because, like now, many bitcoins are being held by users and just imagine how much it would affect the economy if the price raised to almost 900% and everyone starts dumping bitcoins.

It can happen if the price keeps rising the way it does now but I do not think that the price is going to keep rising for ever. It just is going to be stable again.
The only question is when is going to be stable and maybe the price will even drop after that. So I am not sure if the price will be $3000 at the end of 2017.

Most likely it will not because the fact is that 3/4 k is just too much, I think we can maybe reach the 1,5 k amount but not higher than that.
I even think if people are thinking this they are unrealistic.

The halving could double the price, the block size could double the price, the general adoption can also doulbe the price, so $3k is possible.

To see $3k-$4k by end of 2017 then we should first see what will happen with the bitcoin price at the end of this year after the halving and then see if it has potential of $3k the next year, it is early to predict but i don't think it will reach 3-4k

Seeing the increase rate,i can say we can go upto 700 or 800$ and not beyond that, unless something big happens ;)

if $700-$800 is reached in a couple of months because of the halving rise then beyond that is easily achievable too because the big rise means smaller resistance and since a lot of the investors like seeing $1000 then the sell pressure would be smaller too because they will hold.

By the end of 2017, anythnig is possible. Maybe we see Bitcoins at 4000$  :D

$4000 is just a small possibility. I think more realistic estimate is the 2000 to 3000 dollar range for the price.

I dont think that the value will reach that high value in that fast time and that is because you also can see now that the value is not rising that fast now so we need patience.
It was also stable for a long time and not many people like that but now they have to wait a longer time.

one can only pray

Well, we've went from nothing to $1300 before. So, why not? That's the question :)

But one thing's for sure: Fiat will also lose their value over time. Anything that performs better than fiat is a good investment.

It is possible but I do not know if that it going to happen were are just to far away from that date. Predicting so far ahead is just impossible to do to but we can hope for it because it is possible that it is going to happen in the end of 2017.

No religion has nothing to do with it.
The two factors I see which could let us see these prices are that a form of crisis would have to happen in our financial system and that Bitcoin keeps on improving in terms of network growth, user adoption and more positive signs by governments like the ones from UK and Japan for instance lately.

If the bitcoin user increase by 3 folds, the price could rise 9 folds. So the price in 2017 could be around $4000.

It is possible for the price to be that high but I am not sure if it is going to happen. The price is not almost at $500 so that means that a huge spike has to come true if we want the price to be $4000 at the end of 2017.

That price is not possible to achieve by that time, maximum it can reach to $1k by the end of next year, and that also if we find new users joining the community.

The chance is really low that it can reach that high value for Bitcoin and that is because it was already stable for a long time so it needs also a longer time to rise.
And the bad thing is that it will not even reach the $1000 I think in the year 2017.

You are right about that I even think there is no chance of doing this, its also unpredictable so that is the second reason why this is just a speculation that is far above the top of speculations..

I do not know, 2017 is still a bit old. but it looks like it will not happen, even if halving occurs. because I think $ 3k- $ 4k for the price of 1 bitcoin I guess it was too expensive, and maybe if that happens, bitcoin will be very step and will be very difficult to collect bitcoin

Well 3 ir 4k $ is a lot, while price now is 450$ and there's 1.5 year left to end of 2017, so i don't think that it will happen, atleast not at 2017

Even after halving this year price won't rise to 3 years, i think that price will rise to 3000$ only at end of 2020 or after next halving

Lets not get too excited, when we havent even met $1k...

We all are hoping for this coin to go up and reach it near halving time and after.. so only then Imma suggest any price after that.

Any guess prior, is just false hope lol. Just wait and see the mid year for 2017.

Its impossible to reach 3k to 4k value and i think at 2017 we will see the price will be play at 1k$ to 2k value..
Well im not fortune teller to know it but better to collect more bitcoin until 2017 so that you can make more profit once the price reach it..

Let's see if we even reach 500 at this year. Suppose we reach 500 this year, it will be a master step for bitcoin i think. I see the price is already back to 440 now.

It is possible for it to reach 3000 or 4000 Dollar at the end of 2017 but that means that the price really has to climb from know on. I rather think that it is going to be happening in 2018 or 2019.

Its just an speculation no one knows that bitcoin will hold value in coming years, and its really waste of time to keep on thinking about it.

If the Bitcoin block size is increased to 2MB + SegWit, it can have 3 times more transactions, the bitcoin value will rise.

It is possible, but not probable. I'd rather see something like 700$ by the end of 2017 with a spike at something like 900$ at the highest candle of the halving.

yes it is very possible, if prices continue to rise rapidly as today. but realistically I'm not sure. possible to reach the $1000 it maybe in 2017, if at least halving could bring the price up to $800 until the end of the year

$1000 to reach in 2017 is not a problem at all. But it is more difficult for the price to reach $2000 next year.

700 USD by the end of 2017? :D

We're close to 600 USD now & it's only 6 months into 2016. We've got to expect upwards of 1000 USD by the end of 2017.

I honestly do not think this will happen, it will need a longer time to reach such amounts in my eyes.
Its otherwise just too unrealistic.

Funny reading through here and all the wrong predictions. Especially those say X can't happen or this can't happen..

90% wrong so far.

Yeah i agree and its such a huge price for bitcoin and i think it will not happen even in 2020.. but we don't know what will happen in the future .. I am not a fortune teller but anytime bitcoin  price can be change depends in supply and demand.. and maybe more demands will come of more adopter will come in bitcoin.. and we will see this price in 2017..

That is only possible when we are for sure that it is rising for a long time and that is hard to know because Bitcoin is a currency and you never know what will happen later.
But of course it can be nice if we can reach that high value so we can sell it with a lot of profit and that would be nice.

If Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high before the end of Q2 2-17, then maybe something like $2k-$2.5k would seem reasonable, but that is not a value that would be attained easily. The miners would basically all have to collude and find out a value they could all manage to sell at, and then keep the price up even after the halving occurs.

It is possible for that to happen in 2017 but it is not sure that it is actually really going to happen. It can happen before that or maybe after that next year we are going to see what it is.

I think the price could be $1500 in June next year. It is possible for the price to be $4000 if we have 3 times more users.

well yes i am, and all other predictors are sure that price will rise after halving, just i am sure, that price won't rise to 3000$-4000$ just because of halving, that won't happen

after halving i think that price will rise to 1000$ at best case scenario because there will be many people that will sell their bitcoins so price will fall too then

This kind of figures are dangerous, since it can people false hope. Long term we are all positive but 1500 is way to far from reality. Almost 600 is a good end for this year. What 2017 will bring.. well we have to wait and find out. But like most us i am positive.

$1500 for the bitcoin price in 2017 is not so high. I think the bitcoin price will reach $1000 in 6 to 12 months.

Who can even predict this ? I do not think it will hit this amount to be honest its just too much for the bitcoin.
No one can even predict the price so.. this is ridiculous.

To be honest I hope that it value if the Bitcoin is ever gong to be that high and I am looking forward to something like that happening. We still have a long way to go before the end 2017.
So lets focus on what the price is going to be at the end of 2016 because that is allot closer.

Most people are thinking its always bullish but fail to see past history how long it takes for serious price movement to hold.

It took 6 years for bitcoin from zero to a couple cents then to a $400 valuation until this halving scenario hit.

how can you say that such a small price is too big for a bitcoin price? in my opinion there will be a huge price increase in the near future and i think that the price will grow even more

im pretty sure that it is possible for the price to go that high in the next year what would give us all the investors a lot of money, i think we might reach even bigger prices than that

It could be possible for the price to reach that amount at the end of 2017 but I am not sure if it is really going to happen because we never know what is goin got happen with the value of the Bitcoin.
We have to wait and see what the future is going to bring us.

bitcoin is one of the unstable financial media. anything can happen in bitcoin so fast. for this prediction I believe this could happen. bitcoin now be in the range of 700 USD. and it is not possible two years later bitcoin could be in figure 3K USD. it is very possible.

it is definitely not too much for bitcoins, at least from my point of view, i htink that bitcoins are going to grow a lot in the upcoming months and make us all a lot of profit really easily

in my opinion it is possible to reach such heights in 2017, it also depends on whether if a lot of people will be interested in bitcoins or not, if a lot of people will buy we will definitely benefit a lot

The 4 Million+ bitcoins that haven't been mined yet are already priced in too, due to market foreknowledge, right??  ::)

2016 seems to be much like 2012 - a preparation for Super Bull run for the next year. If the same trend continues bitcoin will end up touching tens of thousands of dollars and then having a stable value in thousands of dollars in 2017 onwards.
The price is still incredible low and gives excellent opportunities to collect a few bitcoins fro here and there - one never have too many coins I guess. When the price is high, then you have something to sell for the newcomers who are desperately trying to get even some fractions of bitcoins.

I'm fully agreeing this is just bullshit, no one can predict this at all and 2017 is very far from now.
That people are even already talking about the price of 2017 is crazy, you could better think about the price it wil get after the halving people.

People love to speculate. It even goes that far that people are talking about the price to reach $1,000,000 at some point while we are far below $1000 still. It doesn't make any sense but people still speculate/dream about it.

Still very possible, but those fuckers are trying hard to keep the price as low as possible so anything can happen. I will hold, good luck with your gambles.

there is a exponential growth more or less stable over the years, this trend of bitcoin has to be continued, if so it is possible. there will be continious valleys followed by spikes. We are currently in a valley, which is very good news.

I think bitcoin can reach at $2000 by the end of the year 2017

Anything could happen with bitcoin, at the same the quoted price seems to be something very high because even on the halving year we haven't but with a normal year how its possible. Secondly in a years time we don't get that high adoption to take price around $4k.

I think that it is possible for the Bitcoin price to reach that at the end of 2017 because we still have some time left before we are actually there at that moment.
It is also possible that it is not going to happen but we just have to see what will happen.

If everything goes well and the number of the bitcoin user increase steadily, the price will be $2000 to 4000 in 2017.

I think that is is possible for the price to reach $3000 or $4000 at the end of 2017 but we are not going to know if it will happen.
The only thing we can do is speculate and wait for that moment to happen.

That might be asking too much for such a short period of time. I am not even sure if the the price can reach that level in the next 10 years. The price of bitcoin is going to stabilize when more people start to use it and when more shops start to accept it. For now, the price could go as high as maybe $900-$1200 until 2017. But my guess is just as good as anybody else's.

Yes this can be done but I honestly do not think this is gonna happen because of the fact that the bitcoin is too low right now.
I also do not think the halving can let this happen honestly..

It can be possible but I do not know how to look I to the future because everything can happen even the things we do not expect when it comes to Bitcoin.
So it is possible but if it is going to happen is something else.

well, there is no anything going to happen suddenly. this will surely happen but it take lots of time also. halving is already done and there is no any price increase till yet. but it doesn't mean that price won't increase now. it will take months or may be years but price will increase.
but honestly no one can say anything about it with 100% surety. one person can't do this. it depends on the whole market.
 

I think if the the SegWit and the block size increase are implemented properly, the price could reach that level.

I think we should not think of the future and should enjoy the ride at a moment as price will definitely go higher in future which will allow us to make good money from it.

well there is no ride right now to be honest the price is staying stable and nothing is happening, i reallly hope we will reach the new heights next year and make money

The new all time high of over $1200 could be reached by the middle of next year. Then the price will rise further.

Nothing can be predicted exactly. As mentioned in the above quote now the price is stable, but the price is expected to rise gradually not in a steep manner. In my view reaching around $4000 is unrealistic because in 8 years it have reached $800, which won't increase to 4000 in a years time.

Yes and I think that it will take 10 more years to achieve that price and there is no assurance that it will hit that price someday but lets hope we will see that price in future.

Youre right and  i agree on what you have said.
Because of halving bitcoin will be on demand and it will surely increase the  price of it.

The price has come to a nice value here around 650. By 2017 i expect a price somewhere in the 700 - 900 region.
Remember that bitcoin is not an altcoin where these price increases happen.

Yeah we can't expect a drastic change in bitcoin, price may rise step by step and at this moment it has reached $660 and even in the coming days it is going to rise even higher. By this December it may hit $800 for sure.

Honesty its a huge amount for 2017 and i think its impossible to happen.. the possible that i think will be  the price of bitcoin are around  800 to 1k
This is i think can be possible.. 3k to 4k value it takes more years before we will see this price.. also depends in demand and supply..

I do not think it will happen in 2017, we should be able to reach back to $1,000, after which we will easily predict future prices. due to the current price even harder to get back to touch $10,00 after 3 years ago. so cant expect much that the price of more than $2k will be achieved in one year.

There is nothing on based of what we can expect a price of $ 3k for 1 BTC. I will say fair price will be at around $ 1K in near future. It is good if happens what OP is saying in his title but to be honest my feet are on earth. I don't see this thing happening at least in couple of years to make BTC this worth.

 I think bitcoin can reach at $5000 by the end of the year 2017

I do not think it is possible after the Bitfinex hack. It might be possible in 2018 or 2019 or even longer.

This looks way to optimistic in my opinion. How do you come up with these prices?

After the recent backdrop to $550 it will take a while for bitcoins to reach $700 again.

I don't see it going that high by next year, but it could definitely see around $1000 again.

If the bitcoin block size is increased to 2MB or even 4MB, the bitcoin price will rise to $2000 or $4000.

I don't think there is any connection between block size and price pump. But for sure 3k$ can't be reached within end of next year. May be price may get stable over 1k$ from end of 2017.

There is no evidence that the price pump is due to the block size. The debate has been going on for months, so that's not the reason. On top of that, price spikes and drops are normal for Bitcoin. So there is nothing significant about this normal price fluctuation.

Bitcoin surely has an potential to hit that price in future but the fact is no one knows when exactly it will happen, but if you are a long term holder then you will see that price for sure in future.

I don't think it's about block size either, but I think we'll see a high price starting from the spring of 2017. It happened every four years, it'll happen again. I hope it will! But if we'll see the approx. same increase as we have seen in 2013 ($10 -> $1000), we'll see Bitcoin priced at $65k or even more! :D sounds like a dream, lol.

It may be unlikely but there is always a possibility , It seems like the halving block reward didn't do much (till now) but 2017 should be a good year as Kim dotcom predicted a price increase to 2000$ per BTC , so It wouldn't really surprise me If it really happens after the launch of Megaupload 2.0

There will be other adoption of the bitcoin and bitcoin can be used as a good remittence tool for many migrant workers.

Do you think it will happen? When is the launching of Megaupload 2.0? Do you think it can give a big impact on bitcoin price? I think its just a hype. But who knows? Maybe one day when you wake up you'll be surprised that the price of bitcoin rise.

This could happen. bitcoin prices are very difficult to predict. I still believe that bitcoin will have great power.
bitcoin price increases can be many-fold in the next year. My prediction bitcoin will last at USD2,000 figures.

If the past performance is any guide, the bitcoin price will double every year for the next 7 years. So the price will be 120 times higher.

The performance of the bitcoin it depends on the growth of users and also the growth of mining. If both the sector shows excellent growth then we will see rising precisely bitcoin and will become very high if its growth is starting to peak

some times there is some useful information that we can use in our advantage, but to me it's just nonsense what you say about the price that will double every year. there are absolutely no guarantees in this world. even not with bitcoin.

Why not have a look at the price for the end of this year first before trying to give a vague prediction of what should/could/may happen next year?
Things in Bitcoinland are changing so fast that we also could see some other big big mess what could cause an extreme downward pressure.
I mean how many crooks and wrong, shady charakters are hanging around in this wild west? Moren than enough!!!
Don't get me wrong, I want Bitcoin to succeed and become big in terms of usage and price like most of us here.
But we should keep in mind that this baby still could get hurt pretty bad by some egomaniacs or idiots who just want to see Bitcoin burn!

yup forget to be able to look back at the price would doubled from the previous price, that's occurs only when the price of bitcoin stayed at the bottom point and now a impossible thing if bitcoin will fall to below $ 300.

to me it is really such a difficult job, as the price of bitcoi is trading below 600$ then how can it cross the 4000$ just in one year, i do not think so, i think it can hardly reach to 1500 USD at the end of 2017.

yes there is no doubt about this that any thing can happen in the world of bitcoin, therefore prediction about bitcoin is not such an easy task. but if we study the history of bitcoin and predict about bitcoin we can say that the price of bitcoin will cross 1500 USD level in next year.

maybe the price is too great for a short time for the price of bitcoin, although it is not impossible however, it will be very difficult, because when the price of bitcoin reached a price of around $ 1000 - $ 1500, many people who have a lot of bitcoin will start competing to sell bitcoin them. and I predict if the price rose within a short time, then the losses will occur in a short time

I am not very convinced to see price reaching at that level. There is no solid reason for this to happen. I will say it would be worth to see 1000 $ mark by the end of next year as stable price like it is now at above 550 $. We can not predict happenings as possibilities are endless but should have a fair price range in mind when it comes to talk about it.

There's no solid proof or a firm evidence that's why this is called "speculating". :)

The only ones that are going to sell their Bitcoins at that price are the people who aren't into holding Bitcoins for a really long time. Good things come to those who wait, like they said. It might be a good idea to sell less than half of your bitcoins if the price has reached that price, just to make sure that either way (deflate or inflate), you won't lose that much.

If bitcoin drops the price back to 500-600$ and you did sell some of your coins at 1000-1500$, then you didn't lose that opportunity to sell some at that time. The only reason to not sell all your coins at that time is because you're anticipating the fact that bitcoin might reach a higher price, thus giving you more profits.

$3k-4k price is not realistic to be achieved quickly in this year. even to reach $1,000 this year are still many doubts. but again touched the highest price this year of about $750 I think something good, so that in 2017 was able to reach $1,000.

I think once people start to put their money in bitcoin without any fear and they start to use bitcoin as their currency like they start to use it for buying services and goods for their daily use then it is sure that the price of bitcoin will start to increase much faster and will reach to about 3k$ or 4k$

yes everyone has the right to express their views, and predict according to  their own thinking, but to me it is very very difficult that the price of bitcoin can reach to such a high level $3K or $4K just in one year,

Well you were correct that the price would rise before the halving, just not as high. You also were correct that it would drop after the halving but it went to about $500 rather than $800. I think it will rise more by the end of the year, but maybe closer to $800 by then.

Yes, the start of the year bitcoin was $300 and something. In that time, i never think that bitcoin will be go up as the members said because i was joined recently in the start of the year, and i have a first time experience of halving, but mostly predictions have been correct, also it is right, that in the end of the year bitcoin might be reached at $800.

i will not believe in $4k next 2017 but it could $1500

In my opinion, anything about $1200 by 2017 is asking too much. That $3000 price is more like a wish than anything. Even if there are pumps that will come along the way, there will also be dumps to pull the price back. But everything will still depend on what's gonna happen by next year, which is more than 4 months away. Heck, even a lot of things can happen now until December 31st.

last year people yelling "bitcoin will hit $2,000 at least" etc etc ,
but yet until now 2016 the price of bitcoin did not reach even for $1,000 ,
i always doubt on this kind speculation unless there is a reliable factors that support this ,
everyone expectation are like that , so lets do something real action to make it happen

Bitcoin Price has the potential to touch $4k, but in a short time its really unpredictable because over the past from its existence it had took almost 8years time to reach a maximum of $1500. So on this basis by the end it might be getting increased around $1500-$2000

Really? don't make a troll dude bitcoin not have potential to reach 4k in less than 10 year even by the time we have faced two half but the price are still just a speculation.

It depends on the situation, if indeed comrade bitcoin growth much higher and supplies bitcoin very thin for use. Then it would have been possible, because I think that bitcoin is also using the laws of economics. So this will not be something fabricated. just waiting for the future and keep some BTC to be used in the future

$1500-$2000 is still too high to happen in 2017. especially because of the fact that there is no way we get rid of the constant selling pressure we are dealing with. in order to get rid of this selling pressure, or at least get it down to such a level where the price can breathe again, the demand by people must increase significantly. and this is exactly what i don't see happen in 2017.

I don't know what's will happen exactly, everyone just posting their thoughts.  So, at my eyes bitcoin won't hit that much of price so fast. because it's very hard to reach and with scamming and hacking problem it's became difficult for bitcoin to increase it's price. May be highest bitcoin will hit 1k-1.5k. time will say all.

your prediction is over hight
is realistic price is early year 2017 is 800 dollar
and end year of 2017 range price bitcoin 1000 - 1200 dollar is every one bitcoin

Even anyone just posting their thoughts it's really impossible to reach $3000 - $4000 at the end of 2017.

Yes price is unpredictable but we need millions of millions of millions of dollar to be put in the bitcoin market before that will happen which I doubt it won't happen because of "STABILITY" concerns.

Once the price hits $1000 and just a $10-$20 decrease many will follow the trend of dumping.

Yup We can give speculations for the Bitcoin's price but we can't expect that will oly comes as true. Bitcoin price is depends upon supply and demand globally and then blocks limit of mining half. I am sure definitely price will increase in future but slow pace only like 1k and more.

If it ever hit that amount then most if not everyone here would be stinking filthy rich!  ;D;D

After the Bitfinex hack, I think the price will not be $1000 early next year. It could be $1000 this time next year.

I think we would have been at 3-4k easily by the end of 2017 if the bitfinex disaster happen. Thanks to those god forsaken bastards we have gone backwards a couple of months, so I don't know now how much it will take.


The pump will be fast and we will go up several thousand dollars in a matter of days so we never know.

It is not a question of if ever.It's a question of when it is going to happen!!
Regarding everyone becoming rich with such a price I really doubt it.To reach a 6 figure amount you would need 25 to 33 BTC at least!
That might not sound much but I'm sure the majority of the people here is not having that much coins.
Furthermore this would be a nice small amount of money but far away from being "rich".
The whales however would  really become insanely rich.But that's good because they would start spending some parts of their BTC for property and luxury goods, which again is good for more BTC distribution.

These kind of things are just the reason why people expect to get rich too just all of a sudden. Remember that you buy/use bitcoin for the future it holds, not the money it can give you.
Not a lot of non traders would buy a currency and hope to 10double in a matter of 1 year.

Maybe high will be after 20 january next year with this megaupliad 2.0 integration with bitcoin

yes agree but maybe just our dream but if bitcoin ever be able to touch more than $ 1,000 why not get anywhere near $ 2000 though honest to touch more than $ 2,000 is very difficult, I can said it could happen but it's hard.

Megaupload 2 integration with bitcoin wont affect the price of bitcoin in any way. I dont think so it has any ties to the bitcoin market altogether  ;D, and to the actually OP is concerned a reality check of the price must be done. 3 to 4 k by the end of 2017 or by the year 2020 is a big task . 1k is a realistic price you can look up to.

I don't think that Bitcoin's price will increase highly to reach this price ($3k-$4k) in just one year, it needs more time in my opinion. But we will see because everything is possible in the Bitcoin's world

I think it's possible that Bitcoin reach $3k or even $4k by the end of 2017, if it the price will increase highly before June 2017, otherwise it will not be easy that price reach this level

It's going to be at 1 million per coin in 10 to 20 years, so who cares if it will be 1k or 5k in the next year. In the all time graph it will be seen as simple market noise.

realistically speaking, i think it will be a more than difficult target for the price to even reach $900-$1000 next year. not sure why certain people think it's so easy to reach $3000-$4000 in such a short period. that just doesn't make sense.

We will never see $3k or $4k by end of 2017 or Any Time Soon.

The fundamentals are all bad. Fubar, if you ask me. Why? Because the core developers are fighting to see whose schwartz is bigger. Too much ego contest, no leadership, no vision for the future, they're worried about short-term personal gains.

We will see bitcoin's demise within the next few years. $1 bitcoin, here we come!

Its going to be hard my friend for us to get to this high price. Many will be instantly rich from this kind of rise.
We need to be happy as community if we get back on 750 where we was month ago. For me it's going to be great even if we hold this price until the end of the year and to rise after. Everything is good, just not to fall down anymore. I think people should have patience with bitcoin price, since I'm in bitcoins price rised for about 200 dollars, I think in next year price will also go up, just relax and take it easy.

Many and instantly rich doesn't really get together.

its good your very optimist about bitcoin price
but i think in 2017 bitcoin can't up until reach 3k dollar - 4k dollar
is very imposible is bitcoin price only one year up until 5x , its take profit 500% in hold

No need to predict prices for bitcoins of times like end of 2017 etc. I think bitcoin is so volatile that we may not even predict the correct price even after one month.

Bitcoin is a market which can not be predicted correctly since it has limited supply as demand will increase price would go up. I think to expect $ 2k by end of 2017 will be more realistic approach as major halving event is just over. I don't see price hitting the mark of $ 4k even in next couple of years.

Not realistic in my opinion. Price had difficulties to get to $800 this year, let alone getting to $1k. All what is beyond is pure speculation, currently not based on any real arguments. If we have a game changer before the end of the year then we can come back to this discussion, but I don't see it for now.

I hope that happens but I think realistically the top may be 1500-2K by the end of 2017.  16 months is a lot of time and all it would take is one thing to change everything - a big company integrating bitcoin into their payment system, a new technology that integrates bitcoin, who knows what the possibilities are.  I speculate that 2017 will be an interesting year for btc as we approach the year when no more bitcoin will be made.

Agree with you, to see such thing its use will have to be much more widespread, although the number of wallets  it has increased exponentially since 2014, one would think that users have increased in the same proportion but perhaps it is not so, so talk of such high prices it is not very sensible now.

I also guess that we won't surpass $1500. The halving pump this year took a lot of volume and effort, yet it stalled shortly after crossing $800, which is roughly twice the starting price. Same happened November last year when the pump doubled the price (250-500).

I doubt we'll even see $1000 next year. Especially when you consider that each time we are going up nicely to higher levels, that something happens, and it takes the market down real hard again. It's no longer coincidence.

I have read some optimistic predictions about a potential increase in the bitcoin price to $1300 in a medium run, but I have some doubts about it, because bitcoin is losing ground to other coins and because of adverse scenarios that we all know. But I still will store my coins even when its price returns to $100 or $200.

There is a possibility that it can happen, but personally I dont think that it will happen because you can see that it is not even rising. It will be for sure in the future but not this years even that the halving is also coming it wont rise that much. Just have patience and it will happen maybe after 2 years.

Realistically a top of $2000 by the end of 2017? No way! Also, big companies accepting Bitcoin as payment tool doesn't mean the price will sky rocket.

Keep in mind that Microsoft and other huge companies have been, and still are accepting Bitcoin as payment tool, but that the people aren't spending their coins.

That is only possible when we are for sure that it is rising for a long time and that is hard to know because Bitcoin is a currency and you never know what will happen later. But of course it can be nice if we can reach that high value so we can sell it with a lot of profit and that would be nice.

yeah it is difficult to predict everything about bitcoin, but if for the future, I am very confident the price will rise very high. but for the short term yes really difficult to predict.

It is all within pump and dump schemes that really well played. I agree that there is no coincidence in that. Quick rise on no news and quick dump on the first negative news.

Bitcoin will not goes to that value and as you can see now you see also that the value keeps long stable and that can be bad for the people who wants to sell it soon.
The value will be only in the end of the year $500 and thats it and I know people are not happy with it but they have to deal with it. Dont make any stupid decisions and just wait patiently so you can sell it later with more profit maybe.

That’s a really negative outlook on things. I think you shouldn’t take these questions so seriously. Of course bitcoin will reach 3k or 4k, else it will increase to a stable price. Too many people use bitcoin for that to actually never fall to $1 even if the developers are fighting for their ego’s (like block size debate) or anything unexpected to happen.

As most users quoted anything could happen with bitcoin. I believe its truly hard to predict the bitcoin price movement in accordance to time. Based upon special events similar to halving we can make closer predictions. By the end hitting $3k-$4k is not possible as there is no special events by the end of this year.

too short time that remaining until the end of the year and something that is unacceptable to common sense when have a hope bitcoin prices may hit $ 3k even to hit the $ 1k is very unlikely to happen.

was it a mistake? . isn't it a dream will be possible if we keep trying and a dream is the beginning that can make us have a zest for life ..?? . So if you think that's not likely to happen, then let them do it to your heart. For we all men have different ideas and we have to respect that. stay focused for our lives to be better than having to intervene in other people's Affairs

Btc needs be faster to be global

Everyone knows that bitcoin will rise we just don’t know how much it will level out at the end of the year. I guess that by the end of the year we will see bitcoin at least at $1000. The huge rate of bitcoin adoption by new people from all over the world supports my predictions.

Mass adoption is key of success so when it will get more bigger adoption than it will start rising to the moon, it need more merchants around the globe to get stable price and steady growth, this would be great achievement for this.

Yes, we need more users to increase price. More companies need to accept BTC as payment. 
(As some people mentioned, some businesses might not want to take Bitcoin unless transactions were confirmed instantly or close to it.) 

Also, sites that take Bitcoin need to do a better job advertising it. 
I was looking at Newegg today,
www.newegg.com 
And saw they took payment in BTC. I've been a customer of that site for years and never knew they accepted Bitcoin!

So true, Bitcoin was not hyped nor pumped for a long time (in a crypto space timeframe) if it go pass 1200$ I can easy see 2-3-4K in a 2-3 month time of period

With some real old economy direct investment in Bitcoin 9000$ is for sure possible, the time is not so immportant, market cap is tied to mined coin and some are lost, locked, stored, with real investment anything is possible!

very dificult its price bitcoin 3k - 4k dollar,
its realistic price is 1000 dollar every one bitcoin

   Is there 1 % of truth in this headline and op's topic? If this is is truth then we are idiots, we should sell everything we have and invest in bitcoins.
   As relatively new member here this kind of threads just confuse me, I start to think how I miss some big opportunity in my life. I don't trust in this kind of threads, I think theh are here for us new people to fall on their scams. Its like everyone is stupid, and nobody knows how to earn money, 3 thousand we can see for couple years maybe, until the end of year we can just hope to hit 700. As a newbie it's my opinion, let's see someone to say I'm wrong.

I have my money into bitcoin for more longer period as I know that the price of bitcoin will increase higher in value, and if we all started to invest our money in bitcoin and started to promote it to everywhere then I am sure that in 2017 we will see it near $3k

No, no one can decide it's actual and realistic price.
Because bitcoins are very less in number and as the word spreads out, people getting in will buy more and bitcoins will spread, so there will be a huge uptrend in this crypto.

yes it is really difficult for bitocin to cross 2k$ or 5k$ this year, the previous bad news about bitfinex effect that market so much that it is difficult to say that bitcoin wan touch this price at the end of 2016.

This price is too optimistic I say. You should better except 1000$ maximum the way it has started for now.

Merchants don't care about the payment process of sales made with Bitcoin as services such as BitPay handle everything for them. The merchants just receive their fiat, and that's all they care about.

Will this affect BTC faucets?

I don't see this happen, most likely it will hit 1k some point in time but 4k? that a bit too high if you ask me. But we will see anything can happen its still just the end of august so we have a few months left but I wouldn't put my money on it.

Do you all really think that there is coming such a big prise rise i dont think that the price of the bitcoin will hit around the 1000 dollar that is to much to many peopel has bitcoins that cant be true everyone will be rich as hell.

You are expecting something very impossible without any base, these assumptions are baseless unless you have something to convince investors as to how this would spike so high and why they should invest into this?

Big economic actors can barely justify their decisions and very often desagree on the future trend of major stocks. Do you really expect some explanation from a random guy in a forum ?

I think these posts are only "just in case". If bitcoin reaches the antecipated price, the author will come back and say: "Told you".

As it is now, bitcoin has a hard time reaching $600. It might take the next halving in 2020 for the price to reach $1000.

Repeated hacks of exchanges have made acceptance a more difficult thing to achieve.

What are you arguments for this? I don't see it reaching anywhere near that amount in 2017. It will probably get to a 1k point with some luck but higher then that i dont think so.

Yeah $1k is possible to achieve by that point of time but I don't think it will go higher then that as it would be unrealistic value to think of and to reach that value I think we need to wait for next 5 years.

if it hits that much that fast then I predict alot of people will be crazy rich or more rich then they were I don't believe it could be that easy.
More realistic things are 800-1.5k with 1.5k being the ceiling for next year.

I would say it would reach more 2k dollars by the end of the 2017. For this we need some decent adoption big business guys and there should be supply and demand in the bitcoin. This would make some value differences.

It's really to easy to speculate but it's hard to think of some factors that can bring the price up to $2,000.

We all know that bitcoin has an active price fluctuations. If ever the price surpass the recent ATH, expect some massive dumps from then resulting for another resistance floor which will take again another months before it can sustained the level.

End of 2017 is just few months away to be considered and the time is really short for the bitcoin price to reached $2,000.

yes $2k seems to be difficult to achieve by the end of the next year  but to be honest anything is possible with bitcoin as we cannot predict the exact picture of future.

If the SegWit does not have any big bugs and wellcomed by the society, the bitcoin price will be at least $3k.

like said it cannot be guaranteed for sure but everything goes well we are on the sky ride then

You are right theres no guarantee what would be the future. On how the price of bitcoin would behave and theres already many speculation of this coins and  is quite confusing which one is right because  some may say too unrealistic speculation of its price.  We just wait  on what would happen next. no one knows.

there is so much "money" fiat floating around,   BTC will likely reach 10K~40K a coin in the next 5 ~ 10 years.

the problem is anywhere you need/want to live, job education, quality of life, it cost 2 million to buy a house.

eg, In Sydney the average house price is about $1 M (AUD), and that frankly buys you SFA.

Conversely this indicates there is so much money printing and endless loans being issued, BTC it the infinite system to catch and maintain a large proportion of that value.

I'm not so sure that people are "working" for a living to get ahead any more, they have some sort of luck, inheritance, deals going on, or something, but it seems to me its not 9~5, 8 ~ 6 or whatever blue or white collar jobs, plus the hour commute each way and all the costs of living.

Anyhow....btc + btc bubble is going to be huge and continous, uneven bubble up and then down but each time a new "normal" plateau will be reached.

Consider it was once $1 and then the bubble went to $22, and popped to $2, but this was still above the previously though impossible $1 level.

I think this is something quite impossible. bitcoin prices probably will only be in a position 1K USD when the end of 2017. some predictions say that the price increase bitcoin will gradually be able to make bitcoin have a stable price.

I think that it is possible for the Bitcoin to reach $3000 or $4000 at the end of 2017 but first I want to see what is going to happen at the end of 2016.
We have to see what happens first and worry about 2017 later on.

I don't think Bitcoin will ever have a stable price. And I'm sure that the majority of the people don't even want the price to become stable. Volatility is a great way to make profit and attract money from traders that the market really needs. Liquidity is very important. We can only have that when people bring in their money. And that's because of the volatility.

2017 will soon arrive soon, and most likely bitcoin prices will be very high, but when viewed for the current price of bitcoin is still very stable, and probably will go up in the months ahead. Well, I also feel that in 2017 the price of bitcoin will resume growing rapidly, and besides that its popularity will rise high, and may be 3-4k bitcoin prices at the end of 2017

You are correct if bitcoin price would be  stable then maybe there are  some  huge investors would like to switch to another  crypto which is volatile because  in stable price its would  be hardly to gain profits since the price doesnt  move and  investors dont like that their money would go stagnant  therefore they would switch on other.

It would be good for the people that try to sell their Bitcoin but it is too soon to be able to predict the price of the Bitcoin in 2017.
If the price actually is in the thousands at that point I will be happy.

Yes, I am also will be. We will more than likely end up seeing a slow and steady rise and everyone will be making a little bit of money everyday. But, the more important thing is that bitcoin will be more stable after this happens hopefully. But, among this, I too admit that in long run bitcoin will be keeping on raising for sure.

This is mysterious what price will be at the end of next year 2017, but this range will be possible when we look at recent growth, than we can say this $3000 - $4000 looking realistic target by 2017 and I am also pretty sure about this.

Many users have speculated of reaching $3k by the 2017, but the real fact is that bitcoin needs more time to reach than the expected time schedule because to $1500 to the maximum it took around 8years so sure needs at least 12-14 years to touch $3k.

yes i am also not in the favour of the statement, very simply it is impossible that the price of bitcoin will reach to 2K$ or 3K$. to me as bitcoin is going to cross 1200USD level at the end of 2016 and after that just in the middle of 2017 the price of bitcoin will reach to 1500$ lever.

I agree with the fact that it would be really good for the people who make use of Bitcoin and Bitcoin it self because it can attract allot of other people as well.
The only thing that we can do is wait for the end of 2017 to happen.

We would definitely be happy if bitcoin price would go  higher since we  really make profits to it to our investments that we made.  True, no one  really know what would  possibly happen in the year 2017 but i think $4k price would  be difficult i guess in year 2017 maybe its possible to reach that price on the next halving.

I do not see this happen at all its just way too much for the bitcoin itself, its even unrealistic.
Maybe in about 5 years its possible but in 2017, no in my eyes not!

This are nice predictions because the price of the bitcoin is everything for the bitcoin and how high he is how more people will make money not with tradings but with investings for sure good time is comming.

Yes the bitcoin will hit this amount but not anytime soon due to the fact that there is no halving coming or something, it will take a while.
I must say that the end of 2017 can bring is some nice things but not such amount.

I can not argue with that because we do not know what will happen to bitcoin by the end of 2017.  All we can do right now is to speculate on what its price will going to be by the end of that year.  Every year we assumed that this will be the amount of bitcoin but it never happened.  I will just be more focus on earning and if ever that it happens I will be very happy.

the far majority of the predictions here don't come true because they are too unrealistic. i don't know why people continue to think so, but it is what it is. in this whole forum there are only a few people that have good arguments and are realistic. the rest are living in a fantasy world.

I do not see this happen, its just too much for the bitcoin but we can also not predict this right now, I hope it of course but mot likely not.
There is also no halving coming and I think there also will not change a lot so I really doubt about that.

I hope that it can hit 3 or 4k at the end of 2017 because we have yet to see the thousands and I taught that it was going to happen this year.
It can still happen this year but I am not sure if it is going to happen.

Do not see this happen, 3-4k is just way too much for the bitcoin, maybe in about 5 years its possible but right now we will not even come close even in 2017 it will not happen people.
Some people are always speculating but these amounts are just insane I think its not possible and also will not get reached anytime soon..
