As we see bitcoin start rising again what you predict about bitcoin's price by the end of 2017?? I predict bitcoin's price will be in between 3200$ to 3300$ by the end of this year.

We have to consider first if things will work out fine after the schedule August One scaling remedy. The market is actually right now on a wait-and-see mode though there is a strong hold on the $2500 level. Yes, it can be possible that soon Bitcoin can approach the levels which you talked about. However, since we are dealing with an ever-changing marketplace, all of those figures are just speculations and nobody can be sure of what can be.

I am sure that a lot of Bitcoin holders would be elated if your figures would eventually come true. For the past months, if there is one thing I learned about Bitcoin it is that its volatility can be so hard to predict. Nevertheless, the overall projection for Bitcoin is really very optimistic.

I am pretty sure the next milestone will be in near future when the soft/hard fork happens to solve the scaling problem.

If bitcoin splits into two coins and lets say 50% choose BTC-A and the other 50% choose BTC-B, then the price should fall.

If everything goes fine and it is finally possible to say hello, I want that cornetto, put your phone out, scan the QR-code which is shown to you, one second later the tx is confirmed and everybody is happy, THEN price will rise. And ofc it should be like the cornetto is 2$, tx fee is 0.01$ or less and not cornetto 2$, tx fee 3$

Bitcoin is on the rise again, however, it is difficult to predict its future. Event 1/8 will be the effect of changing the whole bitcoin. Grow or collapse, continue or branch, there are so many things that we can assert its future.

there are already multiple one of these topics asking to "guess bitcoin price" and there is a board for it called speculation. move it there.

and to answer your question. if price breaks $3000 it will be because the bear market ended and by that time we will be on a big rise, so i don't think it will stop at $3300. it will be a rise similar to breaking $2000 the first time.

I'm not sure about the price increase, because some hype is done for 1st of august. If something negative happens then the price move will be surely getting affected. On this basis I hope to reach at least $3500 by the year end and surely it reaches $3000.

Currently it's really difficult to predict the correct price till August 1st, once that event goes away Bitcoin clarity will return and then we will really know. I have two sets of predictions once August one turns really bad then Bitcoin will take a nose dive and 1500$ it will close. Two all goes good then, it shall take jump up to 3800$. That's my predictions for the Bitcoin

It greatly depends on the segwit integration and the aftermath of the results. If it is unanimously chosen and solve the problems of delay in the transactions as well as the fees per transaction then I guess it will not take much time for btc to rise to the sky again. May reach 5000$ by the end of this year if everything goes positively.

I see that by the end of this year, bitcoin price will fall if bitcoin proposal implemented by August 1 is not good or if chain splits but if it is good, I predict bitcoin would go way up to 3400$ probably before this year ends. It is also possible that it would just go up and down slightly and by the end of this year it is still sitting at the same price we see now, which is very unlikely to happen because bitcoin is known for it's volatility.

Oh yes! My patience became fruitful.  ;D
$3000 is not that far and we did hit it already. I hope it will stay on that price for a new level.
It seems like panic sellers did stopped making a bad choice. Or the news about the South Korea thing made others pour out more of their savings to buy bitcoin.

I'm betting on 3000€. 2000€ would be fine. 1500€, I'm taking a mortgage and buying more coins !

Add 13% for the dollar numbers.

No, I don't think like you. Just look at August 1st, if price does not fall at this moment, that will be a miracle ! Just five months to reach then near a 50% increase is way too ambitious. Just wait until the next year, at the same period, to maybe reach back 3000$. This is in our interest that things do not go too fast.

it doesn't matter if you and i think the rise is "a lot", it happens anyways. i used to think like that in the early days, saying 50%- 100%- 200% rise is a lot and a "miracle" if price goes above something. but in time i realized these prices are still way too low. the same way that we can all laugh at $200 i currently laugh at $2500 as a low price.

if we can get above 3k, we can go to 5k, remember thta 3k was already touched, so it's not a mental barrier anymore, pretty much like it was for 2k

we touch it then we broke it and went to 3k, the same thing is happening, this market is not even that unpredictable anymore

If this is indeed possible, it would attract more people to use Bitcoin now that each block can handle more transactions, and I would predict the Bitcoin price to jump even higher now when more people use it.

I wouldn't say much until it is successful, and I am really excited for its success. :D

First of all, that's not Bitcoin's milestone, that's our milestone.
So the highest Bitcoin price was 2800$, after this segwit2x, its price should grow up 20% to 3000$, at the end of this year, I think its price can reach 3200$ :)

That's what i predict but what you think about this https://cointelegraph.com/news/goldman-sachs-bitcoin-price-is-in-sweet-spot-eyes-4000-in-2017 "Sheba Jafari, the head of technical strategy at Goldman Sachs, recently revealed in a note to Business Insider that he expects Bitcoin price to extend to $3,915 and move closer to the $4,000 region this year."

The next milestone for bitcoin too  me is the adaptation of it because every country should adopt it to be incline with the crypto world because as far as I see some countries are adopting it and legalizing it so if all or even my country will adopt it, it will have a huge impact to it price just like at the event in the japan and other country.

2017 will be lucky year for bitcoin as well as for bitcoin users because South Korea going to legalize bitcoin and china the world most powerful country also legalize bitcoin in their country soon.

The price of bitcoin by the end of 2017 hugely depends on what will happen on BIP148 UASF on August 1 in my opinion. If there may be a chain split, bitcoin definitely will crash down HARD temporarily. I'm thinking about $1000 range. I hope not, but if it's the solution for fixing the scaling issues of bitcoin, then so be it.

next milestone for bitcoin should be more adoption, a lot more merchants accepting it as payment.
it should be that when you look at the number of transactions per day you can say for sure that at least 80% of them are from people who are using bitcoin to buy stuff. not 80% of it is from people moving bitcoin from exchanges to their wallets.

and the day that happens, your price dreams would also come true.

Yeah that's also my predicted price of bitcoin by the end of 2017, hope we are lucky to predict it, I would totally love it and I will save much bitcoin right now so that if it will really happen by the end of 2017 I will earn a lot. And also I am hoping that the Segwit by this 1st of August will be successful in order to achieve that price we want to meet.

Well we have broken a previous record price this year already, so I do not know if we going to do it once again? If we do, I would predict that it

would go much higher than it's previous record and it might even touch $4000 by the end of 2017. We still have Black Friday and we still have

Xmas coming up, and during these times there are a bigger demand for coins, so the price might go higher during these periods.  8)

I would like to see more adaptation and a lot of merchants should accept bitcoin payment and we need more technology and upgrades when it comes to merchant based acceptance and if we could improve on that then that is the next milestone.

That is a fact,we have just reached six months for 2017 and we do have black Friday and Christmas as all the chart shows that we usually have a rally during those periods and even though the markets might be dim for a long time i am sure the market will rise again when these time come along.  :)

Your prediction is too low. Bitcoin will reach that 3300,usd in just few weeks. I think by the of December bitcoin is already 5k to 6k. Just try to imagine bitcoin is 1k usd on January 2017.. Now it is almost 3k

Yes, but first bitcoin has to win in the struggle as August 1 is coming. The price is going down partly because of the segwit coming. But if it survives any serious dip due to that, then it would be easier for bitcoin to rise up again and hit the figures you mentioned before the year 2017 ends.

There are so many things need to do before we can see something like that because there will be process that needs to be made and a country accepting bitcoin, even know there are several countries that have accept bitcoin there are still so many country that are not into it I think this is the stepping stone that needs to be made.

I am quite optimistic so price might reach way higher than just $3300 by end of this year. Floor for price is $2500 right now because there is strong support at this level. We might see few more rounds of pumps which can easily boost price to over $4000.

By the way, title is quite misleading. You should add bitcoin price in place of bitcoin in title and move this thread to speculation.

To OP: This is a clear speculation type thread so kindly move it to where it belongs.

It seems that you are underestimating Bitcoin. Climbing between 3200 and 3300 USD should be very easy for Bitcoin at its current state. If ever the segwit activation be a success that impacts its price positively then we will be seeing Bitcoin more than 4000 USD at the end of this year. Oh, add Australia, India, and South Korea to the list.


It seems your math is not functioning well. The 20% of 2800 is 560 to instead of 3000, it should be $3360. You are just adding 200 to every amount which is clearly not 20% just like in your thoughts. Well id you are thinking about the 20% of 1000, then I'll give it to you.

Adaptation of bitcoin can not be derived from simple advertising; it needs a more important factor, namely, the influence of governments.

that's the biggest deal to face off i think also if government will provide extra effort to accept bitcoin as a system of currency it may hype
the price and will allow more people to understand how can life be change using this investment.

i am expecting the same thing that it should touch 4000$ by the end of 2017, i read a news today that japan remove all taxes on bitcoin and china and south korea legalize bitcoin in their country this year so i think or i wish that this year bitcoin will reach highest price of all time.

Sod price. The only milestone worth anyone's attention is a successful scaling solution that enough people are happy enough with. Nothing else comes close.

There was a lot of topics already about future of bitcoin in 2017 :) After a great rise in May when people were saying that it will be by the end around 5000$, after dump they were saying, that it will drop down to 2000$. I think it would be around 3000$ or maybe more, also it depends how news in August will affect bitcoin price :)

Anyone can speculate any value,the bitcoin prices were around 1 k this January but that does not mean that the price will keep on growing this year,no market will provide a bull run every now and then,we had a good rally,the price will stabilize for a while and then we might see another rally at the end of this year.

I think the only milestones that people on here and the entire bitcoin community should be worrying about is going to have to be expanding in general, at the moment we do have a lot of users -- that's not something I'm not even going to try to deny that. But if we're going to be comparing ourselves to Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Paypal, and so on and so forth we're not even going to be making a dent in their stuff. We're going to need to fix bitcoin and innovate to be able to get more people along with it, people aren't just going to come cause we say it's cool and all-- fees need to be lowered, continuing to fix the network congestion, faster tx, and so on and so forth. That's all from me.s

I agree with hardtime!

Its a simple case of fixing the transaction times and sorting the fees
this will enable proper useage of bitcoin for micro payments etc.

A more stable price needs to happen also for traders to get fully on board.
the price can rise [and fall] in a more stable way but im not sure if this is
possible given the decentralised nature of it.

The first hurdle for a price increase as the OP mentions is the August 1st thing.

I'm sure after August 1, when the dust settles all the passions we see a big price spike and the threshold is 3300 dollars will be stopped in September-October this year, and by year end we can see $ 4,000.

We will see whether in the next month bitcoin problem finally could be solved, then it would be the next milestone for bitcoin.
After those problem ended, we expect for more adopters and merchants use bitcoin as an alternative currency in various places which will increase demand of bitcoin. When it reach $10,000, that's another milestone.

Well this is a great news that China is legalizing the Bitcoin and this surely will effect the overall value and adaptation.
Bitcoin has already broke many records in 2017 as far as price is concerned and the price will go past 3000$ by the end of this year.

The next milestone for bitcoin, in my opinion, is scaling. It's too slow at the moment, and there aren't a while lot of people using bitcoin that much. If we had as many people using the  Bitcoin network as say, PayPal, it would be completely unusable. Until we scale, everything else is moot; layers, new functionality and updates are useless on a product that essentially doesn't work.

Bitcoin has lost two of its main advantages, speed and low transaction fees. It's either time to fix it, or time to pick a new leader.

I'm waiting on reading about the first milestone, where is it because I can't see any? if price increasing from $2400 to $2580 is a milestone then it's just for you not a real one, whenever all the miners agreed on scaling without chain split and without additional loss of funds drama and whenever fees dropped back to normal and more than 10 transactions were processed every second I'd call that a true milestone not this one.

This year lots of good news has been coming into bitcoin in a larger scale. Hope the same will continue throughout the year, as we need to travel the second half of the year. Right now starting from Japan, Australia has legalized and now South Korea and China has come up with the plans.

I stopped predicting bitcoin price already. It has no use anyway, you cannot totally predict the price of bitcoin. It move up or down as it will. I just go with the flow now. If it goes up, I sell. If it goes down, I hold or buy if I have fiat to spare.

(1) Bitcoin didn't lose any speed in terms of transactions.
(1.1) Bitcoin didn't lose any speed in terms of confirmations.
(2) The fees would eventually grow to a sizeable amount anyway, it's just that it happened a bit sooner than most people here expected.

I am using Bitcoin in the exact same way as I have always done, why am I not experiencing any difficulties when it comes to getting my transactions confirmed? Is it because I don't move dust back and forth? Is it also because I include a proper fee, taking the current network situation in consideration? ;)

I hope it is the next milestone for bitcoin so that users could be adopted, and the growing number of requests happening menigkat so it will happen in the trade using bitcoin as a legitimate means of payment and easier. them will be easier to keep it as a long-term investment

Take in consideration we are in for a correction after that the price may rise again. This can be called the fifth wave as described by analyst. Stable support above 3100 dollar would mean we could go a leg up, but this may be something we won't see the next couple of months.

bitcoin next milestone ? hmpp i think bitcoin would definitely drop in august 1. me and my friends call it judgement day because that's where bitcoin would drop really alot that's what many users says. and i think it will really drop because many of bitcoin trader will sell their bitcoin 1 week before august 1 will come so ithink that will be the reason of the bitcoin price drop.

bitcoin as a currency for daily usage not yet could be applied perfectly as there a lot of trouble about high fee amount and delayed confirmation causing when you really need a quick purchase it is worse than when you used fiat to transact.

imagine when you bought something for 0.001 but the fee itself cost 0.0017. the value of bitcoin might keep growing , but those problem might still there unsolved.

According to your prediction i think $3200 is really less as in this year itself bitcoin has touched the $3000 mark. Current situation of bitcoin many countries are planning to adopt it in coming days and many have already started circulating it. My prediction by end of this year  something between 3600 -4000 .

Let's get SegWit activated first and see what's going to happen with that hardfork nonsense 3 months later.
Before that trying to make any serious predictions in terms of price for the end of this year is mostly useless in my opinion.

Though we see some increase on Bitcoin's price, we cannot neglect the fact that we can still feel/see the bear behavior of the market. We still see decreases that indicates that we are in a bear market. Add also the fact that some are selling their coins because of the upcoming August first.

However, since I am positive that all will end well, we might be looking at $4000 (at least) per Bitcoin at the end of this year.

Yup. Let's wait after Aug 1 and see where the price of bitcoin goes. Its hard to speculate the price is there is an event coming on us. Some anticipate a price down, while others are very optimistic and predicting a strong price after it. I will not sell my bitcoin though, I will just hold on it and see how's everything pans out. I have worked so hard with this coins that I will not simply let it go because of uncertainty.

its pretty acurate when you guys are going to see about the graph of bitcoin as i can see there yes maybe by the end of this year nor maybe january again like this year right bitcoin is pretty good that month and decrease but increase again by the power of people who believe bitcoin can do it again and here it is bitcoin becoming on that price and we just wait for it.

Price at this time is secondary, Segwit if all is to believed should transfer Bitcoin into a fully fledged currency,for me its all about speed of conformation and transaction costs. How can we call Bitcoin the new Digital digital currency of the internet when i can purchase anything online with a mastercard and have to wait a hour for six confirmations and pay for the privilege. Scaling solution without hard fork and two separate coins being the milestone of choice. Segwit should be the Gatekeeper to mass adoption and a kodak moment for Central banks..

There are lots of things to looks first before we can state a speculation. If in the past, these kind of thread can easily be speculated by the others with backup support to their claims, today is different.

One of the major thing that will happen is just less than a month now. The result of it will give us an idea on how bitcoin will move forward together with it's price. Can we still speculate that bitcoin is going to the moon after this date? Let's find out and see.

at least 3500 in case within 2017, surely is because there are more countries with higher inflation to adopt bitcoins. with that price, i proposed that matter which is stable.

I have to disagree. I think that there will be a whole lot of panic over the hard fork which will likely occur this year, and if the hard fork does occur then i don't think we'll see a bullish market until a decisive winner is found.

If no hard forks are activated, then $3200+ is a real possibility.

However, we have seen the bull market sort of stalling over the past few weeks. This could be a sign for preparation for another pump but it is more likely than not that price will drop down to $2000 or so and establish itself there.

They said that 1 august will be the big dump of bitcoin just another bullshit. My thought that if the bitcoin will be falling on its price caused by the hardfork and there will be a notice about the hardfork and it can't be automatically done without any announcement,

The price level of Bitcoin increase the most in year 2016 and 2017’s mid and the estimate expectations of the price of bitcoin is $5000 per bitcoin. Woww that’s HOT.
I mean if I have 500 bitcoins I can easily buy Lamborghini and drive with crazy chicks all night. Perhaps it’s just imagination, but it comes true if I start work to get bitcoins and yes I’m working on it and now I only have 9 bitcoins. So, guys gear up to get bitcoin fast as you can.

It’s not much difficult to predict the rise in prices of bitcoins in future.
Let me tell you how it is possible to predict the prices of bitcoins in future. First look at the rate of increasing price of bitcoins and then calculate its average rate and then predict estimate price for any time in the future you want.

It is clear that there is growing and confident future for bitcoin currency. Because its price is higher than its reputation. And as soon its reputation increase globally its price start challenging the buyers and comfort the sellers.

Can't really say if that will be accurate or not. We all know that there are many factors that affect the price of bitcoin. Its volatility can't be controlled that is why the price of bitcoin frequently fluctuates. But I'm sure that all of us are wishing something good to happen after August that will benefit us all, so we will have to wait and see.

I am expecting around that price after segwit if not $5k somewhere near $3500 is at least what I expect. Only think I am hoping for is not hard forks, and I don't think it will happen but still, there is always that possibility.

At the end of 2017 bitcoin price may reach at $5000$-$10k. It’s quite awesome. Bitcoin’s holders start living their lush life from now on and those who sold bitcoins in the worry of falling its prices are now crying on their luck. If bitcoin’s price keep rising like that would you ever think what’s it going to be in 2018 end? Huh don’t make me calculate for 2018’s end because when I calculate the price at the End of 2018 I can’t control my thrust for them.

If nothing bad happens on august 1, then I think prices will definitely go up by a lot and even reach $5,000 before year's end. Right now the prices are jumping up and down due to FUD as a result of the august 1 news about those forks coming alive and not actually making soft forks but hard forks. Though, I hope nothing really happens on August 1, because I don't think bitcoins need any sort of improvement as of now especially now that the memory pools are clearing up.

All the predictions are almost understandable, but I can not understand why all this I set you up on August 1st. What can I do not understand. A month ago, everyone was worried. A month ago everyone was worried about the first September. No one can decide the date of excitement.
