Could be wrong, however I have a feeling we're going to be getting a head start on the runup past 3K ahead of August. Just based on the resistance to all the recent news/btc-e/mixer/etc and it's still testing the high 2 the closer we get.

Thoughts? And if it does go past 3 (say 3.25+), you think we'll be going straight to 4 in a semi-straight pump? (I kinda do)

Also right now on CMC it's one of the first times I've seen all the alts SO all over the board on the charts - aka NOT following the current BTC run.

You cannot expect that to be happen for now since People are much aware for the dump gonna happen but actually the $3000 rate will be achieved maybe later on august or maybe on september since maybe people's trust btc again and buy to be used on their business adventures with btc.

Fear of the unknown is still hounding the cryptocurrency right now and so we could not expect Bitcoin to go up to and past beyond $3,000 but this can possibly happen in August if this whole scaling thing will proved to be smooth and there would be no unforeseen event to happen along the way. Good luck to all of us Bitcoin holders!

This is crypto, expect the unexpected :). What if we're about to take off as of this run at this very moment, and be past 3K within a few hrs.

".... and then I woke up, and it was a dream, and then checked the charts, and it wasn't a dream"...

It's actually going for a nice run right now so who knows the above may come true.

it would probably suck because A LOT of people have already dumped their BTC to fiat in fear of said dump. I think it's a dumpfake and we're charging up the engines for the rocket that's about to take off.

Negativity and fear caused with BTC fork created small price fall as i expected, but not real dump, because people are not crazy to abandon BTC now! Now is good time for buy again before price skyrocket. Period 20 of SegWith is activated, everything will be ok now!

Anything is possible but if ever BTC will get above 3k USD, we should see the price movement now.  I think there is a slim chance due to FUD being resistance to hype.  Fear of forking will certainly pull BTC price down.  But who knows, let us just wait and see and hope that we can see Bitcoin way above $3000 before the end of July.

I feel that a lot of people have their fingers on the trigger ready to buy in as they wait on "news that must mean a dip is coming, perhaps a huge one", however when it doesn't dip, and starts to rise instead, those trigger fingers are going to start going bananas around the world.

This weekend is going to be very interesting.

I'd like to think that yes we'll see above $3000 by 1st August but I'm going to predict that no, we won't. I think we'll go sideways if not a little dip over the next few days. Nothing much to worry about though.

I think at this time everyone must have worries. Maybe you are just some people who experience calm. Bitcoin prices may go up and down, we are all worried that bitcoin prices will drop dramatically. The act of selling bitcoin is currently the best alternative, but you may also benefit if it sells in August . This is indeed a difficult choice because we can get a price above 3000 $ and can also not reach these rates.

With the current price sitting at $2750 it's possible with a slim chance. Imo it won't go past $3000 before August 1 because the last time bitcoin reached $3000 was last June and after that the price started bouncing up and down between $2500 to $2800.  My prediction is that the price will stay somewhere  $2400- $2700 with how the price is moving right now.

I couldn't agree more.

If it's ever reach $3k before august 1st, then, I think it will become higher and higher.
Or worst, dip.

Only a few days left before august 1st, so It is likely to happen or not.

This is quite make sense.

I think BTC is about to troll the world :)

$2819 and climbing fast

Yeah, $3000 is near. I think we'll go above $3k, Can't wait to see Bitcoin above $3k. I'm gonna sell a few Bitcoins.  ;)

you're gonna sell just as it bitcoin gets its biggest ever upgrade?

you have bigger balls than me though you may well be right.

You are not wrong, I feel bullish about the price in the next few days (pumped past 4K). Prepare for an unprecedented price spike, followed by a crash that will make a lot of naive investors cry.

Confidence is already being restored in bitcoin so $3000 should be reached sometime this week end I think. After that we may see $4000 soon after but its far from certain, at least I don't think the pump will go in a straight line up. It will probably take some time.

Anything  can happen before or after august 1, but there are only two scenario on that day , bitcoin will go down or maybe it will go up,  but theres a high chance bitcoin will still on the uptrend road.

I don't think Bitcoin would reach $3000 before 1st August. It will keep on hovering over $2800 like before. There is some uncertainty still left which would limit the buying activity on and before Aug 1st. For safety, people wouldn't be buying much in these 3 days. Therefore, price isn't going to climb much. But after 1st August, it would definitely reach $3k in a week or two.

It is really possible. Why will I not dump my alts when my bitcoin can receive free bcc? The more bitcoins = more free bcc. Big airdrop is coming and people should not miss this once in a while big opportunity.

This hovering price has a tendency to hesitate between them, but if it can last until 1 Aug between 2600 dollars till 2800 dollars i think there will be a good news after 1 August. All very confident the bitcoin price will reach 3000 dollars, i personally very sure after 1 August the price per 1 bitcoin will reach 3000 dollars more. Let's look forward to good news after 1st August.

They are really gonna do that, I think it is for the benefit of bitcoin, so many people would get encourage in putting their investment with bitcoin, I think it is not a bad idea, but there would really have many people that would surely take advatage over it, and I think that is possible.

The scenario is quite unpredictable at this very moment. Anything can happen but bitcoin will keep on loiter near about 2700$ till 1st August. But in the first week of August there's a certainty that price will shoot up to 3000$.

It's Bitcoin that we are talking about - if the price starts heading down, people will forget about their positive thoughts and views on the market, and will likely start dumping their coins. We've seen this happen very recently, where the sentiment changed from being very positive, to a more negative form. Exactly at that time people started to speculate about the market going down to below $1500 again, and even close to the $1000 level. After a while, the price jumps back up, and people instantly let their negativity make place for positivity, and they think we're heading towards $3000-$4000 again. People here are as volatile as the market is, that's a definite fact.

Indeed, this is so, to predict What will happen in the coming days will be very ungrateful. It seems to me that no rush will happen and Panic still took place 2 weeks ago. And today everything will be much easier and calmer.

After August 1, all those who were afraid that date will come back to bitcoin and it will provoke a sharp rise in prices. I think already 2-3 August the price will be $ 3,000. Then there will be growth and a small setback. Until the end of August will be $ 3500 for sure.

In one full month, just $500 rally. No. You ate missing something. If prices manages to stay above $3000 levels after Aug 1 then we can see crack works as faith on bitcoin will be restored so that new investors may take prices into new peaks too.

I know that this is crypto and "expect the unexpected" is kinda main theme in our line of work, but seriously, $3000 before August 1 is a rather unrealistic scenario.
Definitely not with all recent problems - mainly BTC-e collapse being the hot topic now.
But honestly I expected greater panic and harder market drop because of that - I don't know why people are so calm about this exchange being gone.

^ I'm actually quite impressed that the crypto world didn't really budge after the btc-e/mixer event. I don't think this will have anything to do with the rise/drop.

That would be in a low probability to happen. Though you can see that it is getting underway, we will just see the price drop again. Many are still in neutral mode and still undecided. Many are still uncertain for August 1st and still waiting for further announcement from the experts in here. Some are still preparing for whatever happens. Add the fact that we are in a bear market since the last week of May so I consider your speculation with low possibility.

You have some point that its true and we are still in watching mode where we can sell our bitcoin if there is a suspicious movement of the price right now.. there is no guarantee this coming august 1 but i believe that after that we will see a large movement of the price hoping that people thinking about the situation right now will get back to use bitcoin after august that i think it can push the price more high soon..

Really hoping for that "large movement of the price " in Btc. But I saw prediction always fails. Everyone predicted that the coin value will fall around 1700$ before Aug1. Though we saw a down trending but that didn't last long. And the value bounced back to 2700$ again.

So don't know what is beyond the time. But as all expecting I also expecting that also. Hope for a good rise in price.

There's no effect even at all so I guess the whales got the most control in the economy. And as everyone is expecting that price will reach $3,000 soon it's very possible to happen after August 1. Two days from now and we'll be on August 1 as the price is at $2,744, it may happen and it may not but we'll see $3k.

This seems to be hard to realize, when the price reaches $ 2800 then many users who immediately sell so the price down again, I think the thing that makes this is hard fork.

Seems to be seen from what happens with the bitcoin price groove, before 1 August it will not reach above $ 3000, just approaching it. However it could be that after August 1 may reach up to $ 3000, it is possible. Can only hope better than all that looks. Hopefully bitcoin can continue to provide more gains.

This is actually the first time that I also see bitcoin going up and all others coins going  down at a very high velocity! All the altcoins are in red right now  on http://coinmarketcap. Com. Bitcoin touching $3000 is in sight and hope this hardfork issue will not affect bitcoin much as splitting at this moment may bring bitcoin down.

As the price increase has increased, an increase in selling order is found more than the past days. This could probably cause a price drop than the price increase. It would be good if the price increases above $3000 before August.

I think that during the first two weeks, the price will soar to $ 3,500. Maybe even above. Now create a vacuum and it will make itself felt after all the controversy over the separation of bitcoin will settle down. People will seek to take back and create a high demand.

All major predictions made before few years now fulfilling, and BTC is going to 10k. It's really not important what is happening every day with price, if you are an investor look only on the long run. If you are smart investor then you don't have time for chat with daily traders.. 8)

If you're a smart investor you have time and money to do what you want, including networking as you take a break from the charts at 5am :)

People are probably selling their altcoins to buy bitcoins and have bitcoin cash on August 1st, of course this is my guess

---

I do not think it would be possible for bitcoin to reach $3000 before August 1st, even after August 1st, i find it very difficult for bitcoin to reach $3000. I see many analysts making price forecasts, some analysts believe bitcoin will reach  $5000 Still in that year, and someone had dared to say that in 3 years bitcoin will be worth $500.000. :o

Things can indeed happen to bitcoin, because now we can not be sure what will happen. So all of this is still limited to predictions and speculation. If you want to believe it is your right and if you do not want to believe it then it is your right too.

August 1 is just 3 days away, and therefore we can wait and watch how the things turnout then. I am not much worried anyway. I have moved my coins to my desktop wallet from my exchange wallet. So even if a split happens, I don't have anything to worry. And after the split, I will not sell any of my coins. I will wait for one month, before taking a decision on that.

I guess if we look at the BCC addition to come - we're already over 3K :).

Nice to see BTC gain % over the alts again - this chart - https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage - looks interesting the last few months and what it looks like is about to happen.

Today price of bitcoin is around 2750$.So to reach 3000$,it required only 250$ rise.It will easily happen before August 1.Bitcoin price is keeps on increasing due to increase in bitcoin users. Bitcoin is the King of all altcoin. Hence It's price is keeps on increasing day to day.If you want huge Profit means you can inverse today.

With bitcoin, anything can happen. And now we can not explain the logical fluctuation in price. We can only guess. I guess bitcoin will not reach the price of $ 3,000 until the first of August. And a few months after August 1, it is unlikely that the price will reach this mark

For $3000 before 1 August seems unlikely, but very likely reached a few weeks after 1 August and i personally very sure of it. Predicting a thing may be done by everyone, but do not complain if the prediction is a big ZERO.

Too much uncertainty for it to happen, although technically it should be possible, even likely to happen, because people should want to hold more BTC to get more BCC.
I wouldn't buy BCC for cash because it's going to be very unstable and prone to dumps, but if I'm to get some for free, I'll of course accept it. If somebody offers you an altcoin for free you usually take it, it's free money.

to me i think that it has become difficult now that bitcoin will now reach to 3000$ before 1st August. i think people now not giving any preferecne to 1st August and therefore the price of bitcoin is trading so stable. i am sure that the 1st Augst even will not effect the price of bitcoin and it will continue increasing evern after 1st August and will very soon reach to 5000$ level.

It's impossible for us to get a free bcc, because we all know that bitcoin in the beginning is not distributed for free, we have to buy / mine it,Therefore no need to expect the free

Doesn't seem likely at this point in time.

BTC-e is probably going to go down as the second Mt Gox, and even though there seems to be a lot of optimistic people regarding how the fork is going to turn out, there are still doubters of the fork who would want to pull out beforehand.

I wouldn't be surprised honestly if price dropped to sub-$2500 before 1st August.

Unless Bitcoin Cash decides to not activate their hard fork on 1st August, then this current price point is probably going to be the high for this and next month.

Today bitcoin prices are at $ 2700, and if we look at bitcoin prices a few days ago there is no significant increase, then my prediction of bitcoin prices will be difficult to reach $ 3000 on 1 August. The price I predicted will continue fluctuations in the range of $ 2600- $ 2800. But in August could be bitcoin prices will rise above $ 3000 or even down hard.

Many would like to see BTC way below today's price just for the one reason, to buy it again. BTC became very good business and we all know that we will see prices over 5k not only 3k.  This "date" is misused last few weeks without much luck price still holding, people won't dump it! Forget for BCC, forget $50 again, get realistic!

That would be 2 days to make $400 worth of ground. Not likely.

Price is doing a great job of holding up to the current level but really isn't going anywhere upwards. We have seen a surge in price over the past week or so but it has definitely slowed down quite a lot in the recent few days, turning into a slightly bearish market even.

Unless the bitcoin cash group makes 1st August a non-event then i don't see it happnening.

But this comes with an asterix, obviously. Anything could happen, especially with bitcoin. $3000 is just too strong of a resistance to break in such a short period though.

It could possibly happen but I personally think it'll still take time for it to pump that much after the split. However we must expect the unexpected so we'll just have to wait August 1 and after that we'll start from there and check the charts to see what are the possibilities.

Chances for it to activate are quite on the higher side, especially when you realize that the sole purpose of this rubbish is to make larger holders an instant bag of massive profits. I don't mind seeing the price go down as result as it (1) offers some decent trading opportunities, and (2) people will be able to once more enter the market at discount levels. I must however point out that I don't really expect the price to tank real hard - I am quite certain that the $2000 level will maintain its position without much problems in the coming days.

Bitcoin value doesn't move for the last 2 days I think it will stay at $2800 until august 1...I'm not losing hope for $3000 but it's better not to expect anything I could only hope that the result of  August 1 will be favorable to all bitcoin users..I just started earning from signature campaigns and wishing I could save more coins for the future and also I want to explore more of trading probably it can give higher returns from my investment

August is just a day away and the price is not moving at all, but I think we are lucky because the price is still high it is still good to sell bitcoin but I think holding it is more convenient for the mean time before August 1 occur, well I am really hoping that the price will surely goes the $3000 mark value and even higher than that, but in my opinion the price is stiff right now because there are still people selling their bitcoins that don't have any secure wallet, and still using this opportunity to profit.

bitcoin tested $3000 twice but could not break. I think we are going to see a dump again into 2500s, then it might increase. price seems not so strong when it get closer to $3000

Everything is possible to happen but i dont think bitcoin price will reach before august1 . Maybe after august 1 the price will reach . Because many people or investor will buy bitcoin because they dont have a doubt in their mind that the bitcoin will fall because the date of august 1 will be  done. But for sure in the next few months bitcoin price will increase more and possible before end of this year become 3000-5000 dollars each.

it will reach to 3000$ USD soon maybe today it will reach to $3000 USD which is quite possible as the market is going to show us that it will reach soon so i would like to tell you that yes you are true you might have knowledge about that. That's why you are saying that. We are hoping if it is reach to $3000 today then it will be a celebrating day because it will break another record.

Ya their are lot of chances for bitcoin price reaches 3000$ by today or tomorrow.Now price of bitcoin is 2730$.Only 270$ is required to reach 3000$ .From the day start the price of bitcoin is keeps on increasing in dollars.At the end of today,obviously the price of bitcoin is equalent to 3000$.Their is no doubt in that to happen so.

I don't think it will exceed $3k that soon but if it does, I wouldn't be surprised to see it take off again. ~$3k seems like a strong resistance point that we've seen it bounce back down from several times.

$2800 could be a final push but honestly speaking it's not going to break the $3000 barrier. Trading on major exchanges is going to be disabled in like 10 hours from now as well, even if people want to buy it i don't think that exchanges are going to give them a chance to deposit and trade on their platform.


Exactly. $3000 technically is just an arbitrary number that we have set for ourselves. It is purely psychological, nothing else. But psychological factors matter in trading. Due to the fact that $3,000 seems so strong of a resistance, i simply cannot see us breaking it before, or even after the fork. In fact i don't think we'll break $3000 until the next halving in 4 years(or maybe three), but if we do it won't be long lived.

I see no reason for today's price to reach this mark. On the contrary, due to the fact that many exchanges stop trading before August 2, the price may drop significantly. But it does not frighten me because after the price reduction necessarily will be growth

Few hours left but bitcoin remain on $2700 well I guess if it's price will going up..it will take effect by the end of this year...of course many are waiting for the result of August 1...but whatever happen we must be happy and continue to work for us to earn bitcoib well and invest some of our earnings so that if good news will arrive we are part of the people celebrating success of bitcoin

In as much as i would have loved to see three grand just like everybody else this will not happen and we certainly locked in within this price range 2600-2800 as we waait for aug1
This is not the end of bitcoin and am sure we still have lots of stuff to be celebrated who knows we just might get a new ATH within this space of time

Bitcoin is the legend of all altcoin. No coin may replace the bitcoin So.From my point of view, tomorrow the price of bitcoin will reaches 3000$+.Since today price is 2761$.Only it required 239$  to reach 3000$.This the correct time to inverse your money on bitcoin. If so you will get very huge returns for your money.

And its just few hours to August 1 from here while in some other places they have reached their own August 1 but the price of bitcoin is still in the $2700+ and its not showing any sign of climbing to $3000. So, it shows this is another show of academic exercise where we all make suggestions that does not move things. We didn't try to increase what we are all holding and expect the price to just convert and turn to $3000 just like that. It wont happen.

hm, I could have sworn that I've seen bitcoin breaking the $3000 barrier somewhere mid june, tho I'm mostly following the price flow on preev.com (http://preev.com). :|

I am sure the price will be above $3000 bitcoin before August 1, because the current numeric position bitcoin $2800. This is the second-second good opportunity for all of us because it's a surprise and a good news if it happened, and I expect this to happen because at some time ago bitcoin unpredictable because unstable price bitcoin. should we have to hold up to actually happen. :D

Preev just calculates an average price based on various exchange rates. If we look at exchanges that touched, or have broken through the $3000 level, then it's Bitfinex and Coinbase. Bitstamp back then peaked at the $2980 level. It has no real value to me since it was just a small part of the exchanges having peaked that high back then. In order to make it really counting, all exchanges should be operating above the $3000 level.

Seems rivers like a flat for now, so not really would to hit over $3000. Ppl've buying BTC following those want some a BCC. After those got a BCC, possibility to selling BTC  :D

It's almost August 1st and bitcoin price at $2777 on preev and over $2800 on several exchanges.
We may stuck on this level again, as bitcoin price may decrease again after hard fork, but we don't know for sure.
But, I am sure about bitcoin price will skyrocket soon after segwit activated as you can see BIP141 has gained 100% support from miners https://coin.dance/blocks

I think some exchanges have touch it, but most of the prominent exchanges list it at around $2800-$2900. Really happy to see bitcoin hit this level as I see that the speculation around it says that the price will go down. Its a good occurrence that we may get to $3000 very soon after Aug 1 and can sustained it in the long run. I'm also happy for holding my bitcoin now because the profit is very good as well.

as of this post by GMT, sorry fam, but bitcoin  is not yet going up to the 3000; but price of bitcoin is still rising, probably we can see 3100 within this week. your hype did not live up until this week i bet.

Yup, we didn't get there before August 1, but there is still a chance that we would cross $3000 on August 1. The momentum seems very strong and I expect to see further increases prior to the actual split.

Guess I was wrong, however we're close/not falling :)

This week should be very interesting re price as the bcc fiasco starts.

The D-Day is today...We are yet to experience the sinking of Bitcoin...Lol. Funny how all worries end like they never existed. I expect the coin and the altcoins to zoom up this week. This is going to be a blessed week if no crash happens.

Interesting to see the market is in need for bitcoin. Perhaps now we can finally build stable support above 3k.
Which would mean we enter a season of new ATH.

As am writing this reply, it is almost August 1 and yet the price of Bitcoin is rising...we are not sure why but I think people have already discounted what can happen on the said date and we already have a clearer picture of the things to transpire. In fact the coming birth of BitcoinCash (BCH) has not stopped Bitcoin from soaring high but I don't it can really go as far as $3,000 since there are also many who stopped trading and doing any Bitcoin-related activities in anticipation of August 1.

But we are all expecting that after August 1, there would be a big avalanche of activities in Bitcoin that can possibly push its value beyond $3,000. We might literally see Bitcoin going to the moon as may forum member are popularly saying.

still chances of correction after aug 1 mate I'm still positive since its showing how support really uplifting the value but maybe we will see
some downfall again before it will really bounce back to much bigger price 3k is almost been touched again and its just some hours that
we are waiting let all witness if this will happen though.

If you look at the trend rate of 1 Bitcoin over the past few hours, it turns out that the crypto currency was unstable, And at the same time, Bitcoin was fluctuating around 150 bucks. I think that this is a very small percentage of mistrust. Bitcoin is still in force and continues to grow. I hope that after a few weeks we will see the update of the new maximum price for Bitcoin.

If to speak frankly, then I already have doubts about tomorrow and after what happened today, I am worried by the real existence of Bitcoin. It is clear that the chain of blocks will be changed, But what will happen in order for a double for Bitcoin to appear. I think this is a very serious situation for all Bitcoin users.

And why would it be a serious situation for bitcoin users? Have you seen that almost all people here are still into bitcoin and would rather stick to it than to a altcoin?


I think we already see what happened. Nothing serious to put a dent to bitcoin market. As of this writing bitcoin has an ave price $2750 so for me it is still good although I love to see it touching $3000 again. I guess we need more patience. But for sure, we will reach this price again in the coming months.

Yeah we were getting closer to $3k price yesterday as when I checked on preev the price was around $2850 so I had a feeling that we will achieve the price of $3k in one or two days but now price has gone down a bit but I don't think there is anything to worry as price will rise again in coming days.

What will you do if the alternative bitcoin can't survive? Maybe it will be a Scam? Who knows how many free coins they give out and where they got them. I don't think it's a chance to get rich. For me it's a big risk and I will remain loyal to the old bitcoin.

You do not need to do anything take BCC to survive. You can still be touch with the bitcoin to have a loyal move and you can use the reputed altcoins like Etherum, dash, dodge or monero. You can be still rich with the bitcoin according to the investment option.

Predicting is quite not bad and for the 3000$ value of bitcoin, i'd be saying that it is not possible. And I don't think there is anything to worry as price will rise again in next days.

Yeah it's past the deadline now and wow what a day - combining value we're well over 3K, and if you were lucky to get in on the pump today hopefully you banked on that too :).

I also consider it a big risk and I think along with me no one will ready to take such a huge risk. Bitcoin is great mature cryptocurrency even facing hurdles in the market by expected hard fork. I cannot believe that any other currency will compete Bitcoin in the market in future. It will be foolish step to give importance to any other cryptocurrency on the most mature currency in the market (Bitcoin). Bitcoin is the king currency of all cryptocurrencies.

Situation is the same, previous month price was mostly nearly 2800$. I think situation will be the same. Now we see stable very high priced bitcoin. I think in this month bitcoin will reach 3000$ and it will be new record (btw every rise is record but I mean 2000, 3000 and similar numbers).
I think if it won't fall after fork and become standart higher, it will rise again, there is no doubt but let's wait and see.

Well, just 5 days late, now wondering if the above shall come true.

I never doubted bitcoin, my trust always put on it. So, I kept it even when segwit happened, and now it shows me that my trusted is true.

Bitcoin today shows as very promising digital currency. Currently the bitcoin price has met all expectations of everyone because the price has been in the range of $ 3000 even more, this will add to my belief about bitcoin. So do not worry to join with bitcoin.

Just want to revive this thread. It is actually after August 1. The pump I mean. And it is good to see that bitcoin really pumped itself. It broke the $3000 and it all is good by now. I'm just hoping for it to stabilize. And when that thing happened then we will be all rich AF.
