Bitcoin USD exchange is increasing speedy and What you guys think? End of 2017...It'll Hit 2K ?

Don't really think it will hit $2k. It will rise steadily throughout 2017 but doubling its current value in USD seems unlikely. I would say it would be hovering around at $1.4k-$1.6k.

not this year, but soon...

If some one told me last year that bitcoin would hit over 1k within a year I wouldn't have believed it. So 2k within a year timeframe I think it's possible.

2k is a joke

it's 10k

2K is a very serious possibility.

Look at what happens with previous halving. Price went from being stable in the 10$ order of magnitude to being stable in the 100$ order of magnitude. It's a very general way of talking about the high volatility price of bitcoin but you get the idea.
So if btc price takes an order of magnitude every halving and follow a logarithmic explosion, as it seems to be, this means that by the end of the year we should have a stable price in the 1000$ order of magnitude to 2K is definitely a possibility and a serious one. Of course all I just said is just a mere observation based on all the examples that we have, but we have so few! It has no statistical meaning in itself so that's not far from being a guess but it will be my guess ^^

I actually believe it might. Wouldn't bet a lot on it, but I do think that there are some possible scenarios that might push the price to $2000.

Do you really think bitcoin will reach 10k dollar anytime soon, I think we first see a dump to around 500 dollar and than see an upwards trend to 2000 dollar at most. even 200$ is also hard to reach in early future. it must take another halving.

My target is $30 in half a year :)

Of course most probably even if it reaches that level I'll not have anything left, because I am too emotional trader, but based on previous bubbles this looks like a good target.

In the mean time it is very path dependent and who knows what can happen next - some other coin could surpass bitcoin, there can be some bug still hiding in the protocol or China could ban BTC for real. I cannot assign any probability to that prediction.

I agree with this just wait for next halving. (So long term)
Miners will never completely kill btc, pumps will come.

No. I think it will be a fantastic achievement if we manage to settle above the $1000 level by that time. Everything the price manages to reach after that, will be seen as a welcome bonus. We can't realistically ask for more than that even though I know it would be nice for everyone. Sustainable growth is what I strive for this year. Current volatility may look like a lot, which it also is, but the most important thing is growth that we realize in the long term. $1000-$1250 is a decent enough range for me.

2,000 USD dollars is a big joke it can't be hit on the speculation of $1,500 Dollars it might be fall from the bottom investors bee ready for the big down comming it always happen when bitcoin hit big price every December it always down to next month or next next month. It can't continue increasing.

After seeing your another topic on parabolic pattern on bitcoin price movements, I too agree with speculations of 10k price levels within this year. I am just waiting for new economic policies from new US government after that the real rally will begin.

It is a very difficult possibility that we can say in the falling line and I do not think that it will come up to this level more and more. If I can catch a return to the end of 2017. But I can say that the situation at the moment is completely different. My wish is not to fall more than I can spend a troubled year if I stay.

Bit Coin Can Hit $2K? hello if I had this question 5 days before maybe I answered yes. Today things is different, 2 days before the price was 1000 today 887.8 . My answer is No , from my opinion price will be stable on 800$

Yes we will probably stay at 800 zone for a while, then again, the question is if it will hit 2k in the next bubble, my guess is yes, we will probably see 2k this year. The correction is being a controlled one. The big red candle may seem a like big deal but if you step out and take a look at the whole picture, you'll see how the trend is still up and the bubble is already being priced in, we are returning to the mean, we may see a dip, then we will continue "smooth" sailing (in bitcoin terms) all the way up to the next bubble which will hit 2k+.

I don't see any 'scheduled' events that would make this happen (ie halving). And I'm sure simply pumping it requires coordination from many whales.
So no, I don't see it happening.

My guess is with this range too.  Even people who are seriously involved in Bitcoin and other professional traders have insight that Bitcoin will be around $1500 after 2017.  They might probably wrong as for no one can predict precisely but their reason and analysis is something we can at least listen to.

Bitcoin will hit 3200 USD.

2000$, 3200$ or 500$, all have quite similar chance to happen.
If it's going to be "only" 1200$ it's already more than OK. Don't be greedy, let it grow without big bubbles, then more will buy and at the end, it'll grow much higher.

I was surprised to find that BitCoin has climbed to just over $ 1,100 since about mid November, now it's slowly deflating again.  It'd be a hard sell to push the price up to $ 2,000 unless there was some serious money behind the scenes bankrolling any such climb.

I think the price needs to survive dropping to $ 750 in the short term and then build up in stages $ 250 at a time, otherwise sudden shocks in the system will drive the price back down.

It might be a quarterly thing to get to $ 2,000 by the end of the year, the bigger question is when will people stop trading BitCoin for fiat and use BitCoin in its place?

yesterday bitcoin price down until reach 800dollar
i think still very dificult bitcoin price in 2017 can reach 2000 dollar/bitcoin
i think bitcoin price can range price in 700 - 1300 dollar/bitcoin in year 2017

if the demand on bitcoin will be increased then it would be possible maybe more than $2 000 . but as we can see to the current price movements of bitcoin it is becoming quite stable so getting in to that price seems unlikely to happen although we still have several months to wait until this year ends . I am not very sure with this because it might become similar to what happened in the last month of 2016 but I am just relying on the current status of bitcoin .

bitcoin might be able to achieve a price of $ 2000 this year. moreover yesterday bitcoin prices almost reached $ 1,500 in a short time. in case of halving, maybe the price will approach $ 2,000 price. but, I think people would probably sell bitcoin his back when the price of $ 1,300. it might happen, but it will be difficult.

2k is a joke. Give me the reason why BItcoin can not hit $10000 in the future ? The China will soon return to make some investment in Bitcoin and cryptos and the prices will increase again. It is certain that the price will hit $2000 before June. Buy Bitcoin now all you will regret

Oh really? when did it hit $1500 and what exchange did that $1.5k have been made? Cos i have sell orders waiting at 1.3k polo but it didnt got filled until today.
your post doesn't even make any sense cos the next bitcoin halving might happen in the next 3 years during that duration maybe we would already surpassed the $2k value

I think on the  3rd quarter of this year bitcoin will gonna get that very promising price.even the price now is unstable ,bitcoin will make a way to climb on that $2k we all desire

bitcoin price is still pretty much unpredictable. and when you want to predict the exact time for a certain price to be reached it becomes that much harder. the only thing that we can tell is that price is on the rise and it is showing all signs of potential to go there but we can not tell if it is 1 year or 2.

What you say is very successful I think, because sometimes it is thought that the price will rise and then the opposite happens which leaves many perplexed so that as can go so high or can go much lower.

At this time it is very difficult to see it even come close to that mark right now.
Maybe later in the year when things are being announced that can affect bitcoin in a positive way.

It is not a big deal to touch the price of bitcoin to 2000 dollars and even in this recent rally the coins reached 1200 dollar within no time and so the possibility of reaching 2000 by the end of this year is a real possibility as there are more regulations coming when it comes to regular investments which would really aid bitcoin.

I think it is 50/50.

Obviously there was a lot of hype when the new year came and the price was pumped up to over $1k and a lot of people were saying that bitcoin will go to $5k by the end of the year, or break the ATH in January.

Just keep a cool head, if you think that bitcoin is going to go to $2k then go for it and invest heavily. However don't be dumb and be caught in the dump.

It is possible but could fall after reaching  that new ATH. If bitcoin haven't seen any attempt at it months before the end of the year, it won't be stable if it reach that point, it would just end up like what happened this past days.  2k is not an easy goal, unless there is a great news and great improvement in bitcoin that could lift the price higher. Or there is a player who can manipulate the price.

Not only $2k before the end of 2017. But it will go up even higher ,im guessing  4k within the end of the year because of the increase on the demand and some merchants will already accept bitcoins  as one of their payment options.

There is no specific point that it will reach to 2000$, already bitcoin reached to 1100$+ in this year but to reach 2000$ mark it is quite long way. Once it reaches 2000$ defintely there will be down fall again to 1000$ immediately because only people who want hyip will try to make a pump on it and they will leave it.

we are all secretly hoping it and at this point most people are kind of desperate about it but the bright side is that $800+ seems to be a very strong support level and if in a month we can build on top of it and start increasing the price, then we can see $1000 be broken once again and this time become stable.

Lets just hope that it will... I too hope that it will reach such price, but if it is going to be bad for bitcoin and will shake its price stability, I'd like it to be just above $1000 each... Fast price increase would just result to at its point today... We can expect price increase during the next Christmas and New year, but I am sure that it won't reach 2k that easy...

The price trend always increases in the end of the year, $2000 is not impossible but $1500 will be fine as I don't expect too much.
Take a look at this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1498855.0 and you will see how to make it happen.
We need to be patient and not triggered to panic sell if big whales cash out as recently occurred.

Bitcoin could have hit $2000 but it seems their are too many people pulling back the price whenever it exhibits some momentum by dumping..

I expect there will be a significant resistance around the 1.5k mark, as this will be a new significant high for people who bought right before the MTGox crash and have had to wait all this time to breakeven.

If these ppl have emotionnally survived until now, they may very well decide that 1.5k, +50% profit for most of them, is good enough and just sell their position and get rid of the emotional rollercoaster.

i don't think so, it just went high too fast and of course it was dumped for profit, who dumped bought back and has established a new bottom

It was time for a correction.We had over 50% growth in less than a month!!
This ca not be sustainable!Therefore some profit taking which corrects the chart on a healthy level is the best what could had happen for more long term growth.
We still can reach 2000 and even more this year. So there is absolutely nothing you need to be disappointed about imo.

exactly, and when this happens, people who sold on top have gained a lot more profit so they have more money than they started with, and when prices came down those same people are going to buy back what they sold but this time with a lot more money.

Yes. But we don't know when would happened for Bitcoin reach $2K cap , recently we have seen Bitcoin's price is booming and touched $1000 . So we have a chance for see the bitcoin hit $2K soon, but I doubt in the short time after this event.

Most users believe that the price reaches $2000 soon, but I don't think that the price movement happens in a short. Might happen by this year end if the price increase takes place gradually without steep increase and decrease happening often.

Hitting 2k dollars now after the pump and dips that happened in my opinion is somewhat possible but the chance of it happening is slim. Right now I feel like that the same things is happening all over again to bitcoin, it was the feeling of it being on the verge of a good dump but this time it might also happen otherwise and if that happens, bitcoin might hit 2k dollars if the same thing happened all over again like it was the last halving, we might experience another big dump like what happened before.

Well for me i think it is impossible that the price could be reach $2000 usd this year or before end of this year.. the possible price that it think we can touch is $1400-$1600 usd this is more chance that the price can be touch in this level if you can seen the movement price last year the price is highly increase when the block halving event nearly to end.. so this year there is no block halving event i think the price could not rise until $2000 value..

At this moment 2000$ isn't very likely. When Bitcoin was rapidly heading towards 1000$ many have thought that it will not be stopped until reaches 2000 or even more. But the price is corrected now and the next pump probably will not be so rapid in a short time. This price isn't impossible but not at this moment, not even in this year, we should wait longer.

No this is gonna be very hard, the bitcoin is gonna hit a high number but when and how that is the question of today.

   With recent drop I can just hope we will not drop even more, 2000$ seems far away in this moment and I dont wish to think about it, can we as community do something about the price?
   Its just an idea, can we make some transactions between us here, there is thousands of users here, everyone to make couple transactions and with that we can make million transactions in one hour or less, is it possible? My knowledge about block chain is not so good to know that.

If you ignore all pumps and dumps and just look at the long term charts, then you'll see that we have done a tremendous job. Basically the same will be the case when it comes to reaching the $2000 level. No guarantees of course, but if you keep holding your coins firmly, then you'll do a good job. If you have enough trading skills, then you can even increase the number of coins that you have in the meantime.

Maybe it can reach this number but I have than some hope it will happen on a normal time and also slowly otherwise it will crash fast for sure.

Price is trying to stay above $900 after this huge correction so i am pretty sure we will see price per coin above $2k by end of this year. If nothing bad will happen in future like any trading platform, bitcoin service etc get hacked than there is nothing that can stop price from pumping over $2k.

I think it will hit 2k in March. ETF approval.

I guess you just forget about the selling pressure from the bitcoin whales and other bitcoiners who are all aiming for $1200 to $1500 price levels as target. Other than this, I am really afraid of those people who missed to book profits with recent rally, they might start selling once they see $1000+ levels. After withstanding these, bitcoin needs to be pumped to $2000, so it really needs 'enough' time.

Lets hope on the fact that this will happen because it would be great and also feel like it due to the fact I would make 4x more as my buying price, it can happen with some luck it just needs to grow more.

For me i don't throw away that possibility of 10k dollars because bitcoin nowadays is in demand to people who really believe that they will gain better profit and they hold it for investments. So many people would do that kind of investment strategy and hopefully it will make btc price rise towards 10k to make a history for better future.

Yeah definitely because there are people who use leverage to trade and if they don't dump quickly enough they won't be able to make a profit and pay back their loan. Obviously when there is hype there will be dumps, that is the harsh truth about such a speculative market.

But still, I think that $800-900 is now the new bottom and the price can slowly gain momentum again.

see the potential of this moment, bitcoin prices may reach $ 2,000 this year. but maybe there will be increase and decrease in prices occurred, but I am sure, bitcoin can certainly achieve that price, because nothing is impossible if bitcoin prices rise again. well, but most likely it will happen at the end of the year.

absolutely it's possible because we all witness that bitcoin actually reach $1200 per btc and thats a good start since 2015.  but expect a big drop down this coming days because its always like that since bitcoin started. better save money right now so you can buy many bitcoin when it decrease each price.

Care to explain why you think there will be a big drop in the coming days? Because as it stands right now, there are zero indications of such a thing to happen. Even stronger, the price will most likely remain moving in the same repetitive way as it has been doing for the last few days. People at this point prefer to continue holding as they feel that the price might be due for another increase in the coming weeks. And if the price happens to go down significantly from current levels, then of course it's a good opportunity to scoop up some extra coins. But I don't think it will go much lower than $870-$880 for now.

bitcoin price is very posible to incraese until reach 2000dollar
but not early month 2017 or in during 2017
in 2017 maximum bitcoin price can reach only 1500 dollar

Possible but I think that we just need patience, it will happen soon or later if the bitcoin gains more popularity.

4,000 Stores, Broad Optimism Makes Japan Land Of Rising Bits

Bitcoin in Japan is bigger than ever, with over 4,200 stores accepting it in 2017 and Tokyo exchange Quoine set for $1.5 billion turnover this year.
Bitcoin Hits The High Street

Local news resource NHK reported Tuesday that according to a december survey, the number of stores accepting Bitcoin in Japan had risen by 460% since the same time in 2015.

“[Bitcoin] has spread to various sectors such as beauty and nail salons… in addition to extant eating and drinking establishments,” it says.

With cryptocurrency payment becoming standard in Japan’s ubiquitous consumer industries, there is cause for optimism indeed as neighboring China sees trading explode.


In an interview with Deal Street Asia, Quoine exchange CEO Mike Kayamori shared the sentiment that the only way is up.

“It could be a corporate currency, it could be a loyalty point currency, it could be a gold-backed cryptocurrency and it could be a national one as well right?” he said, along with supporting China’s various digital currency experiments.  

    In regards to China coming up with their own, I’m an advocate of any country or a large multinational corporate formulating their own digital currency. I think the possibilities are infinite.

Quoine CEO: Transaction Volume ‘Will Be Much Bigger’

Quoine expanded from Singapore in 2016 after receiving $20 million in a funding round, and is looking to transform to a universal services provider in future. Remittances, payments and other financial services are all in the pipeline, Kayamori said.

“So in terms of market capitalization, when you define it at $2 billion or $20 billion – I don’t know how you’ll define the performance – then I can [tell] you that the transaction volume, especially from an exchange perspective, is going to be so much bigger than that,” he forecasted.

    I think it’s going to be trillions when you look at it from a transaction volume perspective. There’s going to be multi-billion dollar blockchain cryptocurrency exchanges that are going to be acquired or go public.

Traditional Finance Catching Up

In light of the Japanese government’s de facto recognition of cryptocurrencies as a payment method in 2016, the country’s financial market is wasting no time getting to grips with Blockchain technology.

Bitcoinist_Bitcoin Japanese Stock Market

Fellow exchange BitFlyer was selected by a Blockchain Study Group consisting of four major financial institutions to build a prototype technology for interbank Blockchain usage.

The study group itself authored a report in November, which found that Bitcoin technology should be used to maintain Japan’s competitiveness against European and US markets.

What do you think about the future of Bitcoin in Japan? Let us know in the comments below!

Bitcoin can maybe hit the 2k very soon but its all depending on what the market is gonna do of course.

Yes it can hit it but most likely if it will hit it this year it will hit it at the end of this year, I think that we can count on it for a part.

Bitcoin has many reasons to get $2k hit this year, but it will not be easy just like it hit $1k. There are still many more dumps which will take place ahead in future as most (stupid) guys are going to get out of this with their capital at rates above $1k itself, without measuring the potential of bitcoins.

I think bitcoin can hit the point of 2000$ during the year. I doubt that it's going to stay on that position for long, but we constantly will see this number. I believe it.

At some point in the furure yes, but not this year. I think we might be happy when achieving a sustainable price above the $1000 level this year. Everything on top of that will be a bonus, but the price won't even come close to reaching $2000 before the end of this year. I know recent rally has made us reach over $1100, but let's not forget to stay realistic. Everything that goes up fast, can also come down fast.

The bitcoin can indeed hit 2k but it would take patience and time for sure, we just need more time to do this and I doubt if it can reach this number this year.

So disappointed with the recent crash, from 1100 to 700s, isn't this a huge drop within a short period of time? I'd like to see the bitcoin price at $2k but being real I would be happy if the price will be back at $1k, too many speculations.

There is a chance that this will happen but than we still have to wait 3 years because than the halving can maybe let us achieve this.

this can easily happen and it gets easier every day that price is going lower to the previous support levels, and the only reason for that is that the whales will have accumulated a lot of cheap bitcoins that they will use to pump the price to $2000 or somewhere near that price depending on how things will go. but the rise will come nontheless.

Its hard to say when it will occur but I think that we need for sure time to  build the price up safely so it will not crash and be steady.

tbh, I really think it will if it goes back to $1k a few weeks or 2-3 months later...

Yes it will go back, the only thing we need right now is patience, it will go back to the 1k slowly and than will also be our new floor what makes it even better.

to get $1k as new floor, we need to stay at $1.2k for a period of time.

The only thing hinder bitcoin price increase is bitcoiners (ourselves).
People more likely to make the price decline for a while to restock their coins.
Yes, $1000 should be back in 2 or 3 months later if users want to reach it as the price so volatile to manipulated due to small market cap if compare to fiat currency that more stable. We're waiting for $1000 get back again.

As you think, price will reach 1000$ and more after 2 or 3 months. This dump normal in every year to see the last 3 years. Price pumped in the time of christmas and it dropped some value. Hopefully will see the bitcoin value back to 1100$ with in this year.

I'm sure for one day, but not for this years :D

Possible but not gonna happen anytime soon, it will take years in my eyes to achieve this price but we will see what is gonna happen.

maybe the new floor will arrive soon after the price now and i am sure that many people is waiting for new floor because with new floor, the altcoin will be ready to gets up and makes pump for the price. but still we need a time to see the new floor and i don't want missed that time.

As the price have started to stabilize, soon it won't move forward or touch the desired $2k. I believe the upward movement starts soon, but it won't vary steep similar to the days of the year starting. Another thing is that recently more bitcoin enthustiastics had put forth the statement that bitcoin soon evolves a trusted currency due to the low volatility experienced in the past year. So price moves gradually.

Even at $1200 we won't have $1000 as a floor as the poor buy support makes it very easy for whales to dump through. It's very simple, as long as the price is largely (+75%) being manipulated in upwards direction, then it's rather easy for these same whales to dump the price down to repeat the whole cycle once gain. It's all about money and not about how they can get the price to move up in a sustainable manner. Sustainable sounds boring and doesn't bring any money in the pockets of these with greed filled whales. Volatility and panic are like a drug to them as it results in millions in profits if the whales play it right.

Yes it can hit the amount of 2k for sure but most likely will not do this because its something that is way too high.

Bitcoin is now dropping its price quite fast, so it would be very good if the price stabilized eventually on something like $1000 but unfortunately even this doesn't seem to be very real to me. $2k.. Even if btc hits suc a price major selling will occur, the price will drop fastly. People are too impatient and tending to panic when the situation is good. It's actually quite interesting. When everything is really good people start selling, because they fear this happiness won't las long and then when it is all a crap because of them they stop selling and wait till it becomes better.

Yeah, the only way that bitcoin price to reach 2k is after a big crash (after reaching 10k lol). The 2k and 10k both of them can't happen now because there is a panic in the trading world and I think people should be careful when trading because there are many changes that are happening!

I am incomplete agreement with you. It is very unfortunate that an idea that originally promised to break the speculative schemes of capitalism, has become a hostage to the most nefarious interests of a few, ready to break up a great idea to multiply their profits.

I've no doubt it will but it will take time. Maybe this year but for sure when the halving in 2020 will come.

People nowadays start to realize that bitcoin is not a ponzi/hackers money but a proper and soid investment.

I dont see years for bitcoin price to reach $2k. We saw 1000$ this year at start and i can safely predict that by the end of this year we can reach 2000$, That will be a celebrate time for all the bitcoin holders. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

I do not think so. If yes, It will hit 1,200$ in this year . At this time , There are many bad rumors for this coin and many investors have got a big profit for trading bitcoin so bitcoin needs more time and accumulation to hit 1,000$ again before hitting over 1,200$ in this year.

A lot can happen in a year. If people knew now what the price will be in a year, they would sink everything in to buying Bitcoin now!

With respect to currently available supporting factors we cannot predict when bitcoin will be hitting $2000 price.

But being a bitcoin optimist, I always do speculate that bitcoin will be getting higher price levels like $2k, $5k and $10k in future. But for that, we need mainstream adoption of bitcoin to happen. I believe it is already slowly happening.

And we would have $1000 as a new floor after last pump, as the grow was quite organic without signs of any great manipulation.
The rise was disrupted artificially by FUD after Chinese authorities suddenly trying to embrace bitcoin regulation...

There are many reasons when the price of bitcoin gets affected, and one of them are the events that happens in China, another one is the dump/pump that happens in popular and large exchanges, then the "hacks" that happens there and people's speculations.

if bitcoin worth with it, then the value of ICO will fall dramatically, and creates new problems

but bitcoin still have the opportunity to have a high price at the beginning of this year. because bitcoin is now increasingly in demand by urban communities. the people have turned to the use of more modern means of transaction.

This can be actually possible because bitcoin already hit $1200 and this is just a start and it will keep growing just believed that it could happen because it will really happen . maybe this coming summer bitcoin could actually hit $1500 because there's a lot of people who would invest and trade bitcoin and that could also be a reason to hit $1500. but always expect that bitcoin could dump and drop down if that happen go buy bitcoins as many as you want.

And thats the beatiful thing about bitcoin. When bitcoin starts to pump up some altcoins go the other way. Thats why investing into bitcoin is the most profitable way this day. But some altcoins even bitcoin goes up theres no effect on thier price.

It is too early to tell. What I think is we should watch first how much the price will increase when it rally on april or may, and the rally on November. It is just my observation that bitcoin price always take a surge on those months. So if the rally on April or November takes us anywhere to 1700$, then there is a high probability that on the end of 2017, the final push will reach 2000 level. This is just my observation and may not be true this year.

In 2017 it must hit on $2K mark  ;)

Its no surprise that Bitcoin will hit 2K someday. Its price continuously increase every year so it don't matter when it will hit 2k for it can eventually reach there. It has been a profitable journey when BTC hit 1200 last year. If 2K happens this year, it may once again be a good time to trade because all other coins will depreciates.

I think 2000$ per BTC is pretty possible to see this year. But I doubt that the price will stay on this price for long. It's going to be the same story as with 1000$ hitting on this new year, after such big and long waited for, price fell down very fast.

I'd say once the floor is establised (my guess is mid summer) we will see another sharp rise to well past $2k.

Given the ever expanding demographic userbase of bitcoin, hitting 2K within 2017 is not impossible. The real question though is will it stay above 2K.

Is it possible that without margin trading bitcoin will become too stable? Causing it to rise so slowly that its not worth the investment.

I doubt bitcoin will hit $2000 in this year due after the price reach $1000 only in couple days the price back move down, it show some trader didn't want bitcoin price too high maybe it will occur after we faced next halving and still far from now.

BitCoin's lost $ 250 since it's high around $ 1,100 only a few weeks ago.  If the price gains over the year then it's possible to see it reach $ 2,000. However, that's the high price, what's it's low price - $ 500 ?  and what's it's midpoint going to be?  It's nice to hope that BitCoin will reach $ 2,000 but if everyone then jumps ship there'll be a crash and the cycle will start allover.  People new to BitCoin aren't going to want to invest at $ 2,000 only to find the carpet pulled out from under them.

It is worth the investment as long as the growth rate is better than the interest rate of what bank can offer.


I think it will hit around $1500 to $1600 this year,  $2000 can be seen next year. This is based on the observation at the current fluctuation of Bitcoins.  Bitcoin price will move up and down  along the years slowly increasing its base price.

When 2017 started than i thought now bitcoin has started to come down, and it was but it stop $770 and than come back to rise again. So in this time, i can predict if bitcoin every month increase than definitely in the end of 2017, we will be listen a good news about bitcoin price, and may be in the next year, we see bitcoin might be crossed at $2000. But don't forget, we are just predict may be it will not be happened in future. 

Same as last year, it started at a very good price rally from December and made a drop after the drama, and hacking. It will most probably make a significant price movement at the end of this year, we could see a price increase, but to be honest, I have no idea what even will again trigger the price to go wild up in the middle of this year. To make it short, a $2k is possible by the end or the entry of the coming year.

Some of them can not be true and some of them maybe were real hacks but we can't know for sure what really happened at their backstages. But I personally think that bitcoin has potential to be more adopted by more people and investors, so they can invest more in bitcoin and have an additional payment method to their businesses and start accepting bitcoin.

I also believe that bitcoin prices will reach $ 2,000, but it does require quite a long time. Seeing the price of bitcoin now still not stable and it will slow the rise in bitcoin price to $ 2,000. Perhaps the price will reach that number by the end of the year (between September-December), which definitely the price will reach $ 2,000 this year by a variety of processes. I believe one of the factors that influence is many are starting to adopt bitcoin so the market is increasing.

I thought the price of $ 2,000 will be achieved in this year, probably around the month of September to December. I estimate, in the next 6 months the price of bitcoin will move slowly, when it reaches $ 1.500 after which it will fall to $ 1,000.

Last year was special - because of the halving. There is no such event to drive the price up this year around.
A lot of money has to be invested for Bitcoin to cross $2k

I think that 2k are possible maybe next year.
And I do not think that there really is that much money necessary to reach 2K. Most of the bitcoin holders keep their coins.
The number of new mined bitcoins will be relatively constant for the next years, but it is only half as high as it was before the halving.
An increasing price attracts more new users, and a lot of them will turn out to be long term holders as well.
With a bigger demand and a more limited supply in the past, I see the 2K barrier fall within two years.

I'm not good in prediction, But I strongly believed this year 2017 bitcoin can possibly hit $2k, Because we already moved into the next level of it. and no doubt that more investors are coming in this year.

yes, bitcoin prices can reach $ 2,000 this year. starters were very good this year. bitcoin started this year with a very high price. I believe, within 11 months, bitcoin prices can reach $ 2,000 price if there is no panic selling. Well, panic selling always create bitcoin prices down quickly.

Maybe not $2,000 but probably near it. The prices right now is really unwarranted and unsupported by anything but speculation. So I don't think there would be a chance to reach $2,000 with just mere speculations. What's nice though is that there is a chance for it to grow because of the news that there are some people trump is putting in power that has ideas about bitcoin.

Maybe Trump is really placing these people in power, but if they do not do anything that would give bitcoin a chance then there is no point. Probably what we need would be some policy that would give bitcoin some boost in prices. But if those policies would be on the negative side then expect a huge dump.

maybe yes and maybe no, we can only make predicting but the rest is always happen on the market, how people buy and sell bitcoin and if there is panic selling then we can not go into $2000 this year. there is always a moment which people is getting rush and they click the buy and sell button too fast and makes panic selling.

7 years ago mjority didn't believe that bitcoin will worth 900 dollars. Look at the price now?  I'm also optimistic about bitcoin future, and I don't think that 2000 dollars will be top. Not if, when we get there many people will regret cause they didn't pay more attention on bitcoin.

Why would you not factor in Trump in to the equation? Trump is not one of the most powerful man on earth as he is President of the USA. He will create a big impact on anything that is everything in the world. He and the people he puts in power may have an effect on bitcoins as they can create laws to against or for it.

You all do not know how much power a president of the Unite States of America can do. You don't know the effect of US laws and regulations to the whole world. Right now most countries will follow the US and there is nothing we can do about it.

maybe you're right. but, I think, a lot of people who believe that prices will bitcoin really could reach $ 2,000. but, it may take several years for it. I believe that the price of bitcoin will arrive at its highest price this year, whether it's up to $ 2,000, or not, but I guess it will not be stable, because I feel there will be panic selling when prices rose to a high bitcoin.

we definitely need some thing special anytime soon to give bitcoins the much needed momentum for an upward movement like new investors to pump the price or regulations that will favour btc but $2K is a long short for now and we shall continue to speculate about it....

Bitcoins price will surely hit 2k price but the question is when? I dont think it would reach to this year though but who knows maybe it would reach up if theres a good news regarding on bitcoins adoption and seeing on the price of bitcoin we are just stabilizing on $900 mark and slowly rising and decreasing.

When is a hard question to answer. The time could be anywhere from 1 sec to forever! The time it reaches $2,000 should be relevant as this is a very important factor. What if bitcoins rise to $2,000 but inflation has already kicked in for the USD and a $1,000 can only buy an egg. What would be the point of having bitcoins reach $2,000?

I don't think it will hit 2k on 2017.
It will be approximately 1.5-1.6 I suppose.

This is what I think too. $2,000 is a bit far fetched as the rise to $1,100 has just been a bubble and we all saw it burst when everybody just panic sold their bitcoins thinking that it will plummet back to $200. But it seems that we can see $1,500 as this is an achievable levels as bitcoins will steadily reach this level.

Yeah too early talking these level at least we need to see bitcoin price strong stays at over $1000 after we got stabilized at $1000, we can think if bitcoin could hit $2000 and in this year I have a hope bitcoin prices will strong at above $1000.

That looks senseless. He does't need to make Bitcoins grow, he should not ban bitcoin that's all. The ban within his country affects the entire circulation of bitcoin for which I believe Trumps Government surely supports bitcoin. Already technically skilled people are there along with him in his government.

We cant still conclude if trump would adopt bitcoin on his country since theres no still news regarding on bitcoins adoption on america and if it does then surely we would expect for the price to rise since adoption is being accepted and you are right if it was banned then the circulation would be lessen and limited.

Why would President of united states will support bitcoins and not his own currency  US dollars. If he really do not support Dollars, it means it will bring a crash in the US economy and therefore he is not insane to do this. Also banning Bitcoin wont help either. Keep both Currencies Side by side.

I think every country that will react to bitcoin will automatically affect bitcoin economy, I also think that Trump would rather stand for USD and strengthen it than Bitcoin but will not ban Bitcoin.  There is no indication that Trump's government will support Bitcoin, what he intend is to make America great again and bitcoin is out of context there.

I think it will hit $2K during the year but may fall back to $1.7K or so before the end of 2017.

I can see that bitcoin can hit that not in this year but maybe next year or maybe in 2020 bitcoin can't increase that fast or rapidly up even the volume will be up there are chances that bitcoin will be decrease but we don't sure when as long as we can earn and we can sold our bitcoin do it as long as the price is still high bitcoin price at the moment 1,036 Dollars this is quite high than the past few weeks :)

pump that will occur in the future will make bitcoin bitcoin prices to be very high. I am pretty sure that the price will not be much of a price of $ 2,000. it may take time to see it, but this year, bitcoin really had a great opportunity to have a high price.

2k and up thatS my prediction before this year ends. We will see a lot of changes that will occur this coming months and thats what im preparing for it.

it all depends on "how".
if price goes to $2000 in less than 2-3 months then for sure it will fall back down because of correction. but if we continue seeing the same slow rise as always, there is no way of dropping $300 just because price was $2000!
it can go there slowly with strong buy support and any correction at that point will be less than $50-100

Well, at this point I'm not sure if bitcoin has a price of $ 2,000, but maybe it could happen, if bitcoin get past the problems that occur at this time. Well, now there are only two possibilities, bitcoin prices will last, or bitcoin prices fell rapidly. but, if the bitcoin prices can go up, then, it might bring bitcoin at the highest price.

I no longer think this is possible to hit $2000 as there is so much artificial resistance for bitcoin right now and politics seems to have a hand in this.

Trump is suppurting his oligarchic friends,if he we will be to much,and will create conflict with China Bitcoin price will jump.There is many reasons of bitcoin price rise,SNB can accept bitcoin,there is 4 year high inflation in Germany and Draghi is still printing,Italian giant bank reported 13 bln euro of loses,Real Brxit starts from March hat will happen with London Citi it is only some of reasons

All are depending in some situation and if bitcoin price would reach for that price i think we will experienced first a global mass adoption,business adoption either online or offline,

But for that to be achieve really hope we cannot see some big obstacles like hacking,bad fuds spreading and etc so that we can see a high leap for the price.

Our beliefs is a must in this so that price will climb and will not fall on some instance.

don't see it hitting $2k anytime soon. too many hurdles and logistics involved. banks hate bitcoin and we all know who owns the banks...

I really do not understand why you're not sure about  if bitcoin has a price of $ 2,000, when it clearly does not have that price yet! just today it has been hovering half of that price.

I think many people who study the market would be disappointed if Bitcoin did not exceed the two thousand dollar mark, because many of the predictions I have seen point to a value in this range. In fact, it is possible that Bitcoin reaches a value close to $ 2500, and then falls back into the $ 2000 range.

You never know how the price of bitcoin will go from this situation and if you look at history the price reached these sort of levels in a few trading days from double digits and with the price above thousand you really need a couple of good trade to hours to reach $2000.

We will see $2000 after we crush the ATH with consistence, we are going to need some time so all the cheap sub $1000 BTC is bought. The whales will not stop the shaking game until all those weak hands are dried up.

I feel sorry for all the noobs that will keep falling trap for those sub $1000 dips, specially those with short positions opened hoping to make a killing... sooner or later they will be left out of the game and bankrupt as BTC goes high as hell.

Well I think everyone that use's bitcoin wants that to happen,
But who knows maybe it could really hit $2000 or maybe more than that by the end of this year.

Tbh by now bitcoin price should have been $2000k it is just stuck to $1000 because of Chinese and few because of hackers. And I don't think banks actually care for users nor government so they will be against bitcoin no matter what happens , the reason for thisnis pretty simple this is the only currency or valuable asset that government or banks can't control and whatever they try they can't change the price of it.

Years ago I wasn't sure of it but I am right now. People were always telling me that it doesn't matter if the news are bad or that there was a crash, bitcoin will always pull through and back up.
If bitcoin is left alone to grow, with no government interference we'll see $2000 very soon.

The $2,000 marks still seems a bit far because it is evident that the price is struggling too much to hold the current $1000 and $1,100 is becoming a very strong resistance. But if the price is able to break that mark, I would expect at least $1,300-1,500 this year.

for now, bitcoin still maintain the price of $ 1,000. just to survive very difficult for now. but, I believe in bitcoin. I know, that high prices will come soon, and in fact, the price would probably actually reach $ 2,000, or even more than that.

$2k huh? Some of the people here are predicting much higher prices.
It is really awesome now how they trust bitcoin unlike before.
Now the real question is are you going to hold it even if it falls for a day or two?
I am also thinking above that since we are growing in number of users now and how about companies that are opening that are accepting bitcoin.
Keeping this up will generate a huge change with its value.

BTC price will rise each year about 150%
Which means that around 2020-21 the price would be $6000 or more.
I predict $2000 by end of 2017.

Not only it can but it will.

The trend of btc price has never changed. From its creation it has always been up!
And on a logarithmic scale.
There is no way we don't break the 2k$ it's just a too strong trend right now

What are you talking about my friend.The price of $1000 is not a low price ,do you remember the price a couple of months back,it was no where near these figures ,so in hindsight some might think that the price is dropping because they see a price range above $2000 but as i see it the price is still high and if the sentiment is strong they price might jump pretty quickly like we saw in December .

Agreed with that bitcoin will remain unstable price that will increase or decrease price range will be at 800-1000 dollar hoping that in next two year bitcoin will totaly hit this spetaculation lets wait for the real volume and real demand happens the real reason why bitcoin price increase that fast that hits 1000$ plus its because of fake exchange of those chinese traders

2000 dollars, no, your expectations are too low. As long as bitcoin through the current difficult period, I think the price of bitcoin will have been rising, bitcoin growth in the crackdown, has always been.

The price is struggling hard to move further. It is expected to be stable within the $1050 mark. The price won't go high to $2000 in a short as the market too is not in a supportive stage. Expect the price to move further and reach $2000 by the year end price movement. This time we might get a price over $1000 throughout the year.

Hard to say right now and depend on the current rise, if it doesn't go down like it had in 2016 and maintains a stable value around the $1000 for few months then it might IMO, getting to 2k is a large milestone and wouldn't be easy though so if it's not in 2017 it might come within few years.

i don't like if the price is down like in 2016 because in that years, the price is really in deep down and fortunately, the price is rise in almost of the end of the 2016 and now we can see the price is reaching good price. i hope that we can reach $2000 in the middle of this year and in the end of this year, the price is more than $2000.

It is not hard to thing that bitcoin will reach $2k.  It is inevitable.  Look at the age of BTC, the supply and the people who are targeted to adopt this cryptocurrency.  If it fails this year, there is always next year but if ETF is approved then we can say, Bitcoin will have a better chance to reach $2k this year.

2016 was a very, very good year for Bitcoin. The price witnessed growth through the year, with a lot of price movement around halving time. The year ended on an excellent note as well.

Well, of course there is still great hope of seeing the price of bitcoin to $ 2k this year. we did not know there was a big thing this year what makes bitcoin prices go up, but I was so sure, at the end of the year, bitcoin prices have reached $ 2,000, and has stabilized

We are at the verge of the next great big bubble, the new 2013 is 2017, but this bubble will be more controlled, but still a brutal one, we will see prices higher than most people are trying to predict, ETF or not.

If ETF doesn't happen it will not dip hard, and if it does just buy the damn thing, its only going up long term.

I totally agree with you. We will be here to discuss it in the future.
BTC price will hit more than 2-3K at the end of 2017, I assume December 2017.
Then the door will be open for 5K or even 10K in the next couple of years.
IF ETF doesnt aprove the Winklevoss thing, the BTC will drop about 10-15% MAX from the today's price, then will rise again as nothing happens to 2-3K

It does look like its on the way already. If one day we'll see it actually go up to $2k. I'd be the first to create a thread about Bitcoin hitting up to $3K.
I don't even know why there a sudden rise of its price but I'm liking it.  Looks like those who hasn't dump the last hyke may have the chance to do it after all.  Thank me for reminding you because it may dip again before reaching the $1100.

In my opinion bitcoin hitting 2000$ in the end of 2017 might be possible if the price continues to be stable as it is now and it might gather more demand to drive price up to those levels. If there will be a dump later on that will bring the price down to 700$, bitcoin reaching 2k$ at the end of 2017 might not be possible anymore, but at least there's hope that someday bitcoin will hit 2000$ but it might not happen this year.

I think by the end of 2017 we will have hit around $2000. A fair, conservative estimate.

At the rate we are going, Bitcoin could hit $2000 this year. But it is also very possible that we will have a significant drop this year before we start another gradual increase.

The price of bitcoin will reach upto 2000$ at the end of the year .it may be possible that the price of bitcoins would be more than 3000$ at the end of this year .well it is very unlikely that it is going to happen nearby soon.

Lets fix bitcoin first. Dont pump when the fundamentals are shit. Otherwise it would be a pump&dump. It all depends on SegWit activation. Otherwise bitcoin wil be good for the homeless population.

Bitcoin will hit that price eventually but I think hitting that  price at the end of this year is simply too soon I think we have a chance of hitting that price in the next 3 to 5 years if nothing happens but if positive news come forward for bitcoin this could happen sooner.

And you believe this kind of people?
No offense, but I cant agree with you because everything needs to fall to have ability to rise even more, but nothing is immortal, every asset neets some time for increase like 30%, even bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

I dont say something like that, instead of this I prefer to stay focused on the daily chart, and rather profit on smaller gains.
This is what i do most of the time i play on cryptocurrency market (bitcoin :))

There is nothing wrong with the fundamentals of bitcoin but with the number of transactions increasing we need to increase the block issue to include more transactions with every block and i am not sure whether segwit is the final solution but it is good to see some upgrade to counter that issue at least for the time being.

I don't think fix Bitcoin is the proper term to use; I rather prefer enhance Bitcoin. Other than that, yes, I strongly agree that Bitcoin needs to scale first. It surprises me that even till this date, that some people don't understand that in order for Bitcoin to move to the next level, it must meet the demand, and thus start giving people the larger blocks they have been waiting for so eagerly. Sadly, it's not up to the community to reach consensus and activate Segwit. Pools are behaving like trolls as they, 1) knowingly harm Bitcoin by not letting it scale, and 2) they artificially create spam attacks in order to gain a higher income through fees.

I too believe as of now if segwit will be getting activated, we can see bitcoin prices going beyond $2000 price levels.

I'm sure in near future segwit will come up again with some other solutions to solve scalability issue when the current solution of shrinking transactions will get its saturation levels. Instead of going with non-tested harforks, going with well-known soft fork seems a good solution for me.

Bitcoin can hit $2k or not ? Yes, it can. But the problem is when bitcoin can hit $2k ? I think it will not hit on this year. The price of bitcoin will increase in Christmas and in the end of 2017, maybe around $1.5k-$1.8k. It might hit on the next year. Just hope there is no bad thing happen into bitcoin.

+1
Glad that still some people know what bitcoin needs. We dont need 2k pumps without scaling, it wouldnt be sustianable. Isnt there some kind of thing or a way that we can force those BU fanatics t accept SegWit?

Its already tested on lots of altcoins. Yes there are still some bugs in it but they can easily be solved while BU is a bug by itself, full of untested protocols or when its getting tested it fails bigtime. BU is good for a small payment coin that Litecoin likes to be.

There are 16 mln coins mined rightnow, max is 21 mln. 2 mln coins lost so I expect that we will have 19 mln coins max that the blockchain should handle. So with those simple facts wouldnt we already be good when the blocksize increases with 50% ?

We dont even need 2mb blocks.

Any increase would be a welcome change, but that's exactly where another problem comes out of hiding. Situation right now is clear; demand for blockspace greatly outweighs that what Bitcoin can offer. If you bump to 2MB, it will take a year, perhaps a little longer before we run into the same difficulties as is the case right now. Trolls and paid shills will come back to life, suddenly we'll see alternative sides such as Bitcoin Extreme, Bitcoin Master, Bitcoin Far Beyond, Bitcoin Great Again, etc, come to life. It means that once again there will be a massive obstacle that will negatively impact Bitcoin for a certain amount of time. Just look at how long it takes to just implement larger blocks right now.

Price $2000 very likely to be hit, probably not this month or 3 month later, but I'm sure will be achieved this year, current prices have already hit $1220 and look stable, this april I'm sure prices will not drop under $1100, probably the highest price is $1400.

You was right,but price was reached too soon,I dont know if it was a pump or not,but it was a surprise to many peoples,for example peoples expected those prices until end of year.

This has been the expectation of users​ by the starting of the year. As users stated the price move was quite faster than what users expected​. The price increase took place crossing the $2000 in a short starting from the range around $1200. Now $2000 to be a stable price below which it's not expected to fall as it has crossed $2500 now.

Imagine what could have happened had the altcoins (Ethereum, Ripple, Nemcoin, Dash.etc) stayed dormant. If that was the case, then we could have easily crossed $5,000 per coin by now. The altcoins have eaten away a lot of market cap from Bitcoin.
