So whats you stats saying? in how many days it will cross $3000btc
as far as 1st august is coming the bitcoin is rising. it seems that it will be at $5000 after 1 Aug

There is still be hard fork. So not get too optimistic

From my understanding, the hard bitcoin fork was stopped in favor of BIP19. Hence the surge of the value of BTC increasing to where its 'bubble' bursted @ $3001.

I didn't expect to see BTC rise up so fast even before the bubble nor maintain a high value of $2500 for an extended period of time. We did see a drop to $1800 but it was VERY short lived. I have a feeling that the community believes in BTC's new choice and has reinvested into them. Causing the price spike. The Wall Street Journal said that BTC could hit $4000 before the year's end. Which, at this rate, is possible but in my opinion unlikely. I believe BTC will hit $3000 either late next week or early on for the following week. However, I cannot see a reason why the market would support it at anything above $3100.

Cheers!

Do you mean the hard fork on August 1st? Now it's unlikely that this is going to happen.

If we successfully activate BIP91, we will be one step forward to the scalability fix without any issues and chain split.

Read this article: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bip-91-has-activated-heres-what-means-and-what-it-does-not/

The new code update called BIP 91 has been locked in with 93.8 percent of miners showing support for the proposal in the last 24 hours, according to Coin Dance, a site which tracks bitcoin blocks.

i dont think so..

There is no doubt that price of bitcoin will reach well above $3k within end of july and even it can go to $3500 for short term. The one who have bought bitcoin during bloodbath at below $2k are now happy investors and the one who have sold low are now buying at higher price. LOL

It is unlikely to happen. Those price movements would be even faster than past examples. The bitcoin is less volatile than ever. Your estimation would need big news to happen.

I already fastened my seatbelt. I don't think it will be at $5000 before 1st of august but it's obvious that we'll have bitcoin over $3000 soon.

Aug 1st approaching... be cautious!

BIP 148 was never a hard fork.  It was a soft fork which would have caused a chain split if it failed to reach a majority of hash rate.  As for the chances of a hard fork happening on August 1st, it's now almost 100% due to Bitcoin Cash (http://bitcoincash.org).  However, you could consider that an altcoin, or at least something separate to BTC's main chain.

There's also the hard fork as part of SegWitx2, which would happen in three months.
There's still supposed to be a chain split to switch to 2MB blocks.  Whether or not miners will all actually support this change at the time is harder to say.
Outlandish predictions like this are never a good sign when you're deep into a bull market...

I think this is highest point of coming-back.
After that 6  years till price will cross $3000 again but then it will go to around $5000-$6000

in a week probably bitcoin price will be $3000. $5000 after august 1 is too soon, if it rises fast it won't be sustainable.

If you mean BCC, I don't think it will have any impact on bitcoin price

The more stable price is forecasted on November only. Now it is a real mess.

thanks for sharing this. It's just more of the same nonsense. And these seemingly unique BIP proposals that simply reference the same approach reeks of amateur shit. The petty shit that needs to happen to force everyone into one solution is god damn ridiculous (and I don't use those words lightly or often).

It's ironic that the solutions to evolve something that in itself is so cutting edge can be so archaic, antiquated, and full of political posturing.

The blockchain needs to be scaled up. The petty bullshit to get us there needs to stop.

Bitcoins is definitely going to rise after the fork, I am sure that's what it's been waiting for,  I can't really give the time range for that to happen but am sure it's going to reach and even pass $3500 before the year ends, am not going to give extreme values so as to not deceive anyone.

I am fairly confident that we'll see the price hit the $3000 mark next week. It only makes sense for the market to increase further as the activation of BIP91 is the best possible happening that we could hope for.

It's not only that SegWit finally activates, but also the important factor of having the far majority of the miners more or less largely agree on something ~ for a long time this has been nothing more than a fantasy.

That being said, no matter how excited I am, I can't see the market hit the $5000 mark in such a short time frame. The hard fork that is part of SegWit2x isn't something you can put aside so easily.

BIP91 LOCKED-IN. 49 blocks until rejecting non-SegWit blocks. Hold on to your bitcoin guys, We are going to see $3000 in a matter of days when all the blocks being mine with BIP91. So far the price has reached $2800 and once all blocks are BIP91 $3000 will be reach or even higher. Plus we saw the news that South Korea has legalized bitcoin so this will have a big impact as well. We are going to the moon.

I am a not entirely confident either. In the near short term, people will completely forget/discard this potentially upcoming hard fork (I say potentially because things might not play out as expected in the end), and thus completely lose themselves in the hype of having finally witnessed the activation of SegWit. In the same way people were shocked about seeing the price dump well below the $1900 level some days ago, they will be equally surprised when the price starts tanking prior to the potential hard fork -- people are too dumb to spot and calculate potential risks. That's how it has always been.

I actually felt like people were quite level headed about the recent dump. The alt coiners got a bit of a reality check when Bitcoin took most of the alts down with it, but apart from that people didn't seemed to fazed. I personally was more shocked by the fast and fairly stable recovery tbh.

Was that ($2829) the all time high?  Pretty damn cool that we're testing it again either way.

I'm extremely surprised that we rebounded like we did from $1800.  That was a serious drop and it's times like that where you're in need of a seat belt. I did not expect the bounce back we got.

Yes the price is about to reach 3000USD. This has come true because bitcoin prices are really getting very close to the target. But I am still worried about what happens after August 1, many say that bitcoin prices will increase and some say bitcoin prices will decline. This is indeed a difficult choice, but we can not avoid all of this. There should be an option to sell it now or do hold until the segwit is complete.

That was impossible the movement of the price is too slow if you want to see breaking $5000 but i think much possible price can be reach before this coming august 1 i think around $3k to $3,500 this is more possible price can be reach that your estimation but we don't know what will actually the price after august 1.
But i believe that the price can be increase more soon because other investors are just waiting for a safety of their investment after august 1.

No, that wasn't the all time high. We crossed $3000 at one point of time. We are pretty much closing in on those levels again now. I wont be surprised if we have an ATH this month.

Lol, you sir are mistaken. This is just getting us back on track to where bitcoins were already heading. It's smooth sailing from here!! We'll see $3k next week, then after August first when it's all fine and no panic we'll see a steady rise again.

we will gonna see the $3000 barrier don't worry guys. hard fork is too long away before it comes. so much better if you all gonna hold your bitcoin because we would see a big pump this coming days because there's something happening on south korea that's why get ready to feel the heaven. but be cautious still because when we see a big pump the next one on that is the big dump also that's what traders really do in order to get a great income.

Seems to me the notion of btcc is getting people to buy and hoard.

Well, i will hold tightly on bitcoin because before I'm also very sure $3000 will be achieved in the next few days maybe precisely at the end of this week, so the information you give this makes me more confident and makes me more spirited waiting for bitcoin parking on the moon.

I'm still yet quite surprised that the price has recovered almost to the same levels in that it was before of the recent drop in prices a couple of days ago, If the price are maintained  this could be considered positive because we need remembered that just the first half of the year + 1 month has passed so while still there are months more to pass until the end of the year it would not be all bad that the price would sit a little on those levels.

Yeah, BIP91 will locked in next 4 hours, and when BIP91 locked done, the fearing about SegWit2x split chain Bitcoin not is reason create panic on market, because we are know accept BIP91, HardFork not need BIP141 and BIP148 when active SegWit2x

that's right before we drop to 1800$ we already reached 3k$ and that's the start of the dumped but now we are heading ahead again its looks like
3k$ can be achieved and like what you have mention new ath will definitely be meet this year maybe more than we expect but even what will happen
as long as bitcoin being recognized we will see more from this investment.

No one really know were bitcoin is heading right now, hard fork is still in the breach of bitcoin and the price is going to the $3000 dollar mark again I think these is the best time to really dump some bitcoin, because of the activation of the core dev. we can never say what price bitcoin will really went, and these all are just speculation regarding in what will really happen to bitcoin, if you don't have a secure wallet for bitcoin then just dump your coins because the risk is there in the upcoming August 1.

BIP91 ACTIVATED! Non-SegWit signaling blocks will be orphaned. Theoretically, mining pools will start rejecting blocks that do not signal support for SegWit (BIP 141). I think this will be really a good time not to dump our coins specially who it at $1800 in a recent dump. No need to panic as well in Aug 1. We may see new ATH come that date. The price is slowly moving around $2700-$2800 depending on the trading platforms you look.

For now we are stuck in $2700 value that i think the price will play around $2600 to $2700+ before segwit end after recognize it..
And hope that we can see more price increase these following days but i heard that its not safe right now to save our coins in some exchange site so i think buying bitcoin are also not safe that is why the price of bitcoin are still staying in this price..

thats a hell obvious future that bitcoin price will skyrocketing after segwit, you see, more perfect bitcoin for more value

Are you certain about that?
Do you really know what could happen?
It could be the wrong thing that could happen.
We still have this week and we dont really know if there will be someone who will panic before segwit implementation.
What if there is a group of holders that are making ready for a large withdrawal.
Just dont want to be too much optimistic now considering anything could happen.

I, too, prefer to really look at what is happening. Yes, I hope for a favorable outcome of this situation, but I'm ready for anything.
I'm very pleased that bitcoin recovered from the recent fall, but I think it's too early to relax

I couldn't agree much with this further good situations that had happened lately and crossing with that certain amount of bitcoin price is such a pleasurable success to all of us who've been a part of bitcoin digital currency. For now I can see the signs of the actual scenario of bitcoin to be a leading currency worldwide gathered bigger investor, well specially that involves the bigger whales.

To be honest, you are very funny to watch the way they sound different forecasts regarding the price of bitcoins of another crypto currency. Today we have seen very sharp over the past 2 weeks and the price jump, so definitely something convincing to say I would not today, because it is already approaching August 1.

Me a little The main thing that all very much begin to show anxiety concerning August, 1st. Although this affected primarily the crypto currency market and therefore Bitcoin fell quite low, even below $ 2,000. But to date, the time has not come yet, and the price has risen higher and updated the new highs. What it can be I do not understand.

At the moment the price is 2551 someone knows why the price went down from 2700 yesterday price? Did something happened or it is more speculative moves form the traders.

It will never fall again even it will reach to $3000 soon as the market of bitcoin is going so we can say that it was just a bad dream as we woke the dream gone. Like the fall was happen just for a few days. So it has recovered there drop down of bitcoin in just a couple of days it was just there was work going inside bitcoin therefore the price was came down now it will never happen like that.

For today it is very difficult to predict any moments in fluctuations of the price for Bitcoin. For example, I generally thought that the price drop 2 weeks ago will continue. And it turned out that the price even increased by an order of magnitude

It already crossed the price and the other speculation and prediction how ever bitcoin will no longer keep the price pumped because the price of bitcoin will be may fall because of BIP91 however bitcoin will become back to normal or it will increase into the maximum prediction for this year that it could be $3000 usd dollar per bitcoin.

It has continued to go up, and now it is at a fairly high price ($ 2665). This is a reasonable price for anyone who wants to sell it now, however, I will keep it, I want to get more.

You are believing too much in Bitcoin. That kind of increase is illogical since a split will happen no matter what. A slow and steady growth is much preferable than a quick price increase for it might lead for a big crash afterwards. Also, "after 1 Aug" is too vague. 10 years after today is also "after 1 Aug"

Hahaha $5000 seems to be nice but it will not happen for now i think because of the big drama that will happen in august 1. Many peoply would sell their BTC i think and after they sell it they will buy a altcoins that have potential to pump after the big drama in august 1

Coincidentally today that is the price at the moment, the next days are going to be very interesting bitcoin cash is going to appear as a hard fork and that may make things a little bit difficult for bitcoin on the short term but I do not think that altcoin is going to survive for long.

The problem is while bitcoin cash is a nice concept since it is clear it will be the minority chain everyone will want to dump their free coins rather than consider it based on its pros or cons.

As for the price of bitcoin right now it seems to have stabilized after the initial pump and I wonder where it will go after that, I think for sure it will cross $3000 before the fork but could have some mini crashes too.

Ya their are lot of chance for bitcoin to reach 3000$ so.I had some bitcoin in my account.Previously I had though of sell my bitcoin .But I Know their will be increase in the price of bitcoin .Hence so,I had waited for long.Today rate of bitcoin is 2750$.It will reach 3500$ at the end of August.Once it will reaches so I will sell my all holding bitcoin.

Actually the price is currently falling back, but I think after August, the price of bitcoin will rise again. Probably will exceed the price of $ 2800, or even higher. It's better to hold the bitcoin at the moment, because you probably will not lose.

Not only Bitcoin after August can rising again. I believe in September we can see the time recovery of crypto on market and can enjoy that time as in May 2017. Just buying and become to rich man ::)

Please hold your horses for some time and be patient. The bigger picture will be clear only by the second week of August. By then, we will know how much support the BCC tokens possess. If BCC is able to trade at above $250 per coin levels, then there is a serious chance that massive defections can start towards that coin from the BTC sector.

Be cautious to buy your btc asap!
You won't get free bcc unless you buy in the next 2 days and everyone knows that!
After that, it's time for gentlemen!  :D

If bitcoin does not go through the hardfork process, I think it will be worth $ 3000, however, at present, hardfork is slowing it down, bitcoin is standing still with slow steps.

I think the price will decrease in the first week of August but there are possibilities that price will soon uptrend after that. So its better to the BTC right now and watch the market conditions.

Currently, the price is still good and is above $2700. Everything is possible after the Aug 1 date, but one things for sure, bitcoin will go up again after that date. Even though there will be a hard fork, bitcoin will still have the major support users here in the forum. They don't have another alt coin. But if there is a 1:1 BTC/BCC after the fork, then of course we will take that coin because its free but majority will not support it and will probably sell it quickly.

People are still very confident in bitcoin, although bitcoin is split, they will get BTC and BCC, they will have different values, and they may have low values, but they have the full potential to go high.

Bitcoin at worst might experience a very short term decline, but I doubt it will be anything of much significance. If the market was preparing for a real doom scenario, because that's how a lot people were seeing the first of August date, the market would have already corrected itself. At the end of the day, Bitcoin has always managed to recover from ANY negative happening, and this time will definitely be no exception.

It is not about that just bitcoin avoid people don't transaction in the last three days of July so people are withdrawing their coins into cash that people should be really safe by this steps they would be protect and this is an opportunity to those people as well to buy a bitcoin in a cheap price once again because this is the only one chance to buy bitcoin in cheap price.

It will or it will not. Depending on how the fork will be successful and as the market always swings upward and down ward expect that there will be lowered in the price. But today the price seems so good and was stable on $2,600 - $2,700 and I'm feeling that there will be a very good price on first week of August and will be stable until the end of the year.

current figures show bitcoin crossed the $2.829 this is the last chance, maybe the price of bitcoin will put on a $3000 figure in early August. I'm sure this will be a good news for us because since some time the bitcoin decline. so that this possibility will be many investors who began to consider this. I am very sure it will like our expectations at the beginning of August

I think there is a strong chance bitcoin crosses the 3000 price in this week, I do not know if it is going to stay there since we do not know how much support bcc will receive but I hope not much, and when people see that the confidence in bitcoin will go up even more.

We know what bitcoin cash is, bitcoin cash is the coin the miners wanted from the beginning bigger blocks and no segwit, I think this is a last attempt to try to make that coin work but the market seems to be entirely focused on following the devs vision, something that I support as well.

Bitcoin has make many effort to break through $3000 so many times and I think it will take a strong efforts to remain over $3000. The current upward movement is an indication that we may see or touch $4000 before the end of this year.

People are afraid just because giving attention to those people who were spreading fake news about bitcoin. So simple these people didn't success from this mission so it is gone once again.

Because we are with bitcoin so if we are with bitcoin then nothing can beat bitcoin in a market it is gone viral once again and the price raised to 2680$ one thing I'm watching that it will hit in a middle of August 3000$ soon as the market current statics are showing. So yes keep believe in bitcoin just don't need to bad dream because it is not good to do. Believe on bitcoin it will take bitcoin to very high with bitcoin it will take you too as well.

what we are seeing today with the pricing for Bitcoin should have happened for a long time. Such a rapid growth relative to the past years has not yet happened. If you look at the fact that Bitcoin has grown almost five times in the last year, I think it's not worth worrying about today's fall.
