To be honest, I would not have believed this, as this is quiet early for such high prices,i thought it would take at least another halving for this price to reach.
And the price of ethereum is unbelievably high even right now I'm thinking I'm in a dream.

No I would say it is photoshop. I still remember me thinking and taking the decision whether to buy ethereum on 8$ or 10$ risking to make a loss. I badly regret it now since i invested my money in other alts which is not making the same profit as i would as of today if i invested in ethereum.

Thats life!

I would have said something like:
Quote from: me
Come on man, that is just wishful thinking. Take a breath and come up with a serious valuation. Maybe more like $1200-1500.
I am super happy to be totally wrong!
 :D

I would believe, last year Bitcoin was pricing $1600-$1800, and the predictions were very good about the price in 2017. Many people thought BTC would hit $2000 in end of December, beginning of January and $2500 near half 2017 year (where we are now). Many people bought Bitcoins last year predicting prices like this we are seeing at this moment and they made a really good profit until now.

To be honest,amost 90% of bitcoin users would have laughed on seeing this except some of the very few early bitcoin adopters who know the real potential of bitcoin.Even most of us predicted that bitcoin's price would be $2000 by this year end.But surprisingly,in just the fifth month of 2017 itself,bitcoin has crossed $2400.Bitcoin is definitely going to create a revolution in the world economy.

Why not? Well that is for those who are new in the world of bitcoin as well as who are outdated about bitcoin. Seeing that would fool them and would probably jumped in excitement not knowing they're trolled. And a NO for persons whose eyes are always staring at the bitcoin's price. As for me, It's a no. I haven't met bitcoin until this year so I was disappointed that a came in late  :'(

It was unbelievable as most of them after the $1300 price came most of them have sold it so that they can buy back on low thought that market will crash but now they are crying. Even on ETH no one thought of it.

I don't believe you even now because ETH is down $6 bucks :D also ETC is pumping like a crazy horse :D whatever you and franky1 do you'll be always remembered as BU shills.

Honestly, I won't believe it.  I think that bitcoin will be 1500 at the end of 2017 but I was proven wrong.  These adoptions from Japan, Russia, and soon Australia really made bitcoin price increase like crazy.  To tell you the truth my prediction radar is now malfunctioning  :D.  I do not know nor have any hints what would be the next stop for Bitcoin price.

Nope. Even if you have shown it a month ago when the bull rally started, I would still doubt that the price will break 2K much more a year ago. Bitcoin is really unpredictable.

Don't know for what reason it is increasing but yes bitcoin is really unpredictable. Just ion 2 months $1500 increment in BTC price and ETH also slowly becoming popular in the digital world. There is an almost double increment in ETH coin. It is fast growing altcoin in the digital world. This is the right time to buy some coins and hold in your wallet.

 I definetly would have believed, the problem I had was trying to convince other people that this would be the case. If Bitcoin resolves the scaling issue anytime soon I believe a price of 5k by the end of the year is a very real possibility.

I do believe in you bro. I have a fate in Bitcoin and ethereum. I do hold 2 bitcoin since the price was $400. I am really sad that I did not invest more money in Bitcoin. Otherwise, I would be rich right now

What ever anyone can say but the truth is that no one believed that the bitcoin price will rise this much high withing 30 days , i just now checked that on this month itself on 5th may i had sold my coins at the rate of Rs.119.000 Inr and today it had touched Rs.200,000 Inr so within 30 day i am in loss but i never regret because when ever i am in need of fiat currency i just sell my bitcoins and i dont regret on the price rise or go down as my needs are full filled that is the main point.

to be honest i would not believe on you, if you showed me this a year ago, first i would laugh on you and then suggest you to come out of the dreams and try to live in reality, but actually when the price of bitcoin increased a little bit in the start of 2017 so i was in doubt that may be it will reach 2000 dollars but surprisingly it has crossed 2400 dollars.

I was not so into the Bitcoin area but my Wife kept getting me involved either through translation work or other minor freelance jobs. She was always raving about Bitcoin etc and now I am sold to this great idea. I still cannot believe how much it has grown though and also Ethereum. I regret though we only own one third of an ETH token so far, it is a shame.

I think things could go crazy (in a good way, for hodlers) in the next 5 years.

Post by: Pustul on May 24, 2017, 08:05:32 PM
I sure would not! I remember 2-3 years ago when I was mining scrypt alts and bitcoin just had its crazy $1100 hit and then went on to go down to $300!

It took a long time to break that $1100 record but boy are we on a sweet ride right now :D

No, who would have thought that bitcoin can go as high as the price today? After the first ETF was rejected, bitcoin dip as around $950 and that was just 3 months ago. But the now its breaking ATH everyday. If they just only knew that the price will soar this high, they wouldn't have dump it in March.

Post by: Vikingr on May 24, 2017, 09:54:13 PM
I remember a few speculations of that time and at that time many people have claimed that it may happen but many people not believed on it and they said that $2000 is a very high amount and if the price will reach then it will hardly reach to $1300 but now I am seeing the price to $2400


Title: Re: If I showed you this a year ago, would you have believed me?
Post by: ShrykeZ on May 24, 2017, 09:59:06 PM

At some point in time I expected it to reach this and continue climbing.

But now in 2017? Never would have thought this soon especially with 1mb blocks.

I just thought about it today> I joined bitcoin a year ago and even that time the price seemed high to me and too risky for investment. Today I am thinking that those 200$ per 1 BTC wasn't too much. Now I would have 2000$. But to be honest I am afraid to risk. If I would know how it is going to be withBTC and ETH of course I would buy couple :D

NO WAY would I have believed you!  Smile.  Sure if you had said $1500 or even $1800 I might have.

It's weird (to me) how the price has risen so much despite the discord between SW and BU (or whatever names those camps have now).  I still suspect that you are right about your recent prediction:

$5000 if they solve the scaling problems.

More people and companies will feel confident and join the community.

Nope, My prediction is that the equilibrium price of BTC would be at 250. Today I celebrate being wrong by 10x. Not that I am complaining..

for bitcoin I would have said that price is nothing but your timing I off by a couple of months. since I was expecting $2000 by the end of the year or at least after something bigger happened but it seems like the big thing already happened with Japan and Russia.

for ethereum I would have said their pumping team is strong but not this strong. and now it seems like I was underestimating the power the ETH PUMP TEAM has :D

It's great to admit you were wrong about Bitcoin and therefore swallowed your pride to celebrate you've been wrong by 10x . I think there are many more out there who haven't or don't have the balls to admit as you've done so congratulations and welcome to reality.

I also heard its $3000 in Japan, is there no one doing arbitrage?

There are even now some people who are in fear that bitcoin will drop but they do not know that it is continuously rising and will rise to more than $5000 in this year or maybe more than that. The only thing which is required is the knowledge about bitcoin and about trade then he will know about it.
