last week only $3400, now it's $4400
even I don't buy cheaper coins at the end of july, but I am still win.   ;D

why talking about $5000 when you can reach $10.000,$20.000 or even more than that ?
just keep holding your Bitcoin and you will get what you deserve,
but remember,when that time comes aka downward movement do not sell your Bitcoin,
because no matter what happen Bitcoin price will always recovering and always hit another ATH in the next year.
you will only lose it if you sell it,

there'll be a time when we can see a huge downward movement in this huge upward movement,
just hold it tightly

The most important question is what will be the bticoin price after Segwit activates.
Last year at that time(August 2016),bitcoin price was around 700 USD (i don`t remember the exact price),now it`s 4200 USD.If we continue to follow that trend, the price should be 25000 USD around August 2018.The trend will continue,unless the central banks and goverments decide to do something about it and hit bitcoin.

Well its trading at shade above $4300 if we are going to put a stop I'd say let's target $4500 because last time we hit that number a minor correction had happened. So lets see once we hit $4500 again if we are going to experience the same blip or continue forward to $5000.


Exactly, we all got excited when we see that the price is going up. But when its down, people panic and even sell there precious bitcoin without thinking that bitcoin has proven over and over again that it has the ability to recover and bounce back from such a crash. That's why we need a lot of patience in holding our bitcoin because the chances for it to gain in the future is very possible. So just hodl whenever there is a dip, or probably buy back bitcoin as well.

the bticoin price after Segwit activates will be $7000 i think , wait until then .

We are still a winner due to the price increase of bitcoin, we will see $5000 in the next month and there will be some updates about the segwit 2x in the next month, that will be probably very bullish reason for bitcoin.

wow that's a big speculation mate but I really want to see that soaring to that high before selling from now on, I will keep everything inside my pocket
and I will try to keep buying little by little for sure it will be a financial freedom for me after 3 years..

True and yes $5000 is really not that far away from us. We'll never know, by the end of this month it might try to reach $5000 too. And that gives us more reason to save more bitcoins because in time it will reach $10,000 or even $100,000. And bitcoin is unpredictable we will never know when the price goes up and down.  ;)

I'm expecting $5000-6000. Bitcoin tends to have emotional blow-off tops. I think that if Wave 4 hasn't begun yet, it will begin after retesting the recent highs or proceeding slightly further. A nice consolidation will be a good opportunity to pile in once the breakout has begun. There'a a shot at a 50% trade here, even before you begin to take leverage into account.

But where we are now, it's really tough to say if it will keep pushing higher or give us a nice correction. I'm out of all positions. Waiting for some consolidation and a buy signal.

That is right. Sometimes, I want to think that I would not rather get involved into trading alts because there are serious dumps along the way. On the other side of the fence, a single BTC would have already gained $1000 in a week's time. That is already a big profit.

Im very happy now because the price is already 4400 dollars and  I think it will goes to 5000 dollars this mpnth or next monthor maybe before end of this year 2017 and we can make a lot of profit for sure if that happen. Many people as of now buy bitcoin because the price continue to increase because they want to earna lot of money. So to those people have plan to buy bitcoin you can buy now and for sure you will earn money.

It's good to be smart in hindsight. Remember how the price of bitcoin fell in July. Similarly, people for some days have lost $ 1,000. It's a lottery and it is impossible to always win. Perhaps specially created a stir in reaching the $ 5,000 and therefore the price does not rise above 4400 dollars. Then instead of rising the price will fall.

We are on our way to $5,000 right now. As the price of bitcoin gets more expensive right now but buying today is still profitable. We will see the price of bitcoin increase at $5,000 and even more higher. And even you haven't bought earlier just keep on chasing bitcoin and buy while it is not at $25,000 - $100,000.

In situation when bitcoin price is rising here we are all winners. Price will hit 5000 dollars very soon, predictions for end of the year are more then optimistic and 5000 is not so far from this price now, until the end of this month or in very beginning of the next month we will see price at that point.
Price is bullish for some time already, I'm wondering will we see some dip before we rise over 5000 dollars, that is always possible with bitcoin and when ever we saw fast rise like this past weeks, usually dip comes right after.

Yes agree 1000$ profite for only one week is great profit for traders just now. I don't know if bitcoin price next week will up +1000$ but everything in this world is possible. So I will keep buying small amounts of BTC because I think next few month Btc price will be more than just now

$7000 is now clearly possible but i'm not sure when. The demand is keep on growing, many got atracted, curious, interested in btc. I often saw ads in social media as well regarding btc.

Trading is very profitable atm. The movement is fast, has a big swing, the price increases big amount in a short period of time. This is why I am now eager to switch into trading as my main source, hopefully by next week.

Bitcoin price is heading up so fast and I agreee that 5000$ isn't far away. But this trend could also slow down so there is possibility that price remains at 4000$ for a while. Anyway, I think that bitcoin is the most profitable investment at the moment, not just for traders, and everyone who can should put the money in. Let's hold our finger crossed that the price keeps rising.

It will reach 5000$ and down again to 4000$ then up again to 5000$ then down again to 4000$ then up again to 5000$ then up again to 6000$ 😊

5k than 10k and who knows where we can go then? One BTC becoming really expensive, in the beginning of this year it was 4x lower. This is really amazing time. And now I'm starting to believe John McAfee won't have a chance to eat his pride..

hoping that we could reach $5000 this year so that i can feel and taste the state of being a rich in just a day. I have a coming bitcoin this month so im expecting and im going to hold into it and wait till bitcoin price reach $5000. this will be going to be an epic year for all of us. more demands please so that bitcoin price can reach it more easily.

This is indeed a very supportive situation. We have seen that over the past few days there has been an incredible rise in bitcoin prices. If you say that will soon reach 5000 $ then this is a dream that will come true. Bitcoin prices move very positive and do not stop increasing. In some exchange we can see that an increase in trading volume is a significant thing to see.

Reaching $5000 is nothing more than a formality it seems. I am quite sure that (short term speaking) it will be a fantastic moment to cash out slightly below or over the $5000 level. If a correction of 20% is to kick in, you'll be making like $1000 in a matter of 24-48 hours per Bitcoin. That's what I consider to be a more than decent profit from an event (the correction) that is pretty much destined to happen. People must realize that nothing in the world goes only up in value without a correction here and there. At some point investors will start cashing out a certain part of their massive profits, because don't forget that as long as one isn't selling, one hasn't made any sort of profits. In the same way people aren't losing if they aren't selling.

Well, i don't see any reason why I should contradict, i mean, the way bitcoin is right now, any man can see that it really can reach $5000 in time. And i asure much much more and if this kind of trend continues, i really think that somewhere on late 2018 we can expect to reach 20,00+. That is if bitcoin doesn't get bullied and killed by goverments and banks that join together to destroy btc and all other crypto currencies. I just hope that doesn't happen any time soon.

Harvard academic also show their calculation that bitcoin able reach $ 100.000 on Feb 2021 ( cointelegraph )
I'm wondering who dare enough to keep at least BTC 1 until that year

Yes.. bitcoin have step foward to be the greatest investation that ever exist it means that more people put their trust on bitcoin

i agree 5000usd bitcoin value is very possible i think before the end of year that value can reach of bitcoin or more than that amount maybe upto 6000usd in the last day of 2017, the bitcoin keep increasing the price value until now the movement of bitcoin goes up, the bitcoin so far so good very strong in the cryptocurrency world is not far away so close to reach 5000usd.

I'll be holding/keeping. ;) i've decided not to sell my coins(unless i'm need of urgent money) for another 5-10 years, even then i'll only be selling 60% of my holdings.

Yeah, probably we'll see $5k+ by december.

One step at a time... the human brain works like that. You have to break all these nice, round numbers. $5000 is the next psychological barrier, then it's all the way up to $10000. Seriously, it will be exponential FOMO craze, once $5000 is broken, specially once $7500 is broken, the snowball effect kicks in and a lot of people will experience what exponential growth means in motion. The human brain is just not ready to think in exponential terms, it can only think linearly, which is why a lot of people perceived $100 as insanely high back then.

Nope, 5000$ is right in front of the door and just two weeks ago who would say that we will be just a few hundred dollars away form it. But this could be achieved in couple of days or could take a few months but still I'm convinced we will brake 5000$ limit this year for sure and after that there are no limits.

 :o

3 years? Will not you spend your bitcoin for 3 years? Not even to pay for a coffee or dinner? Or buy ticket to watch a soccer match or watch theater?

0.005BTC will be enough for you to delight in some real life pleasures


Has been so since July 24, when everyone saw the opportunity to win the lottery (BCH) all sold their alts and run to buy BTC and wait on August 1 and then BTC had a large increase and worsened the situation of the alts .

---

Just be patient and watch

A few weeks ago I never thought it would never reach this high this early. But bitcoin proved me wrong again. But I still believe it is not yet time to reach 5K. It fall back to 4200 level again after reaching 4400. It is still testing the current resistance level.

It will be very interesting to observe the price action of BTC as it gets to the important psychological mark of $5,000. Will it blow through that important milestone on the first try? Or will it take several days/weeks/months for that barrier to be broken?

Really fascinating time to be involved with Bitcoin...

EDIT: Corrected misspelling.

Actually if the current trend will continue, reaching $5000 seems not to be the target now but way higher than that.

Bitcoin price tremendously showed us some hyper and craze pump to the price we can't imagined right now. In the past, majority thinks that breaching even at $3,000 level quiet have low chance to happen but now that said price range level can considered as cheap price. We can expect more surprises following this rise. If ever there will be a price crash, we can still see bitcoin price on considered high price during it's correction. So now enjoy the wave and make sure we are accumulating bitcoins continously.

Ya the price may fluctuates often .But up to me. After it reach 4000$,the price is not reduced below 4000$.The price may vary like a roller coaster. But it is constant at the peak price.Which shows the growth of bitcoin now a days.In 2014,the bitcoin Price in below 2000$.But it now changed a lot. Now it crossed Many peak day to day .

So less than a week from now, we will be at the 5000 dollar mark? It is true that 5000 USD per Bitcoin is almost at hand, it is a matter of time now plus a positive news and we will be there instantly but why don't we take it slowly. We do not want to have a big dip after these recent increase, do we?

When I started bitcoin the price was only $2800 and after 2 months it became $4400 really amazing I wish I was able to buy coins during that time. Well better late than never, I am seeing $5000 in few more weeks and I think it will continue to rise this year. I'll be waiting for the price to go lower and then I will buy and invest on bitcoin.

This shows the real potential of what prices bitcoin can achieve. If barely any people now about bitcoin, or are using it (Most people on this forum don't even know how bitcoin works), then what would the price be when everyone does? I doubt it would still be in the thousands. Tens of thousands, maybe.

Every individuals has its own predictions and might different from others. But one thing is obvious we do believe that there is an increase rapidly or gradually, slowly or faster what important is, it is pointing upward position. So I conclude most of us or all of us is thinking the positive way and it is good in bitcoin. Keep on be positive.

Because that is the closest goal that we have, there is no point aiming for 10000 dollars when we have not reached 5000 yet, besides 10000 dollars seems to be far away, it is going to take some years to reach that price while reaching 5000 dollars seems that is going to be a matter of weeks or months.

Well i think we are currently in the middle of a correction.

This is going to come in phases. We have hit as low as $4050 i believe, and now it has bounced back up to around $4150. We may see a dump tomorrow that pushes bitcoin's price down to less than $4000 or $3900, even.

Price has increased to drastically in too short of a timeframe. Correction is needed for further pumps, but imo it might just stay around the $3500 level.

$5000 is indeed not far away at all when you look at how fast this has all happened, but idk. $5000 would bring btc close to $100 bil market cap which seems unlikely.

Indeed, i think that $5k is almost a given at this stage.

Segwit has not even happened yet and people aer already so hyped up for it.

I think the upward trend will continue. Right now btc is correcting because of the fact that bitcoin cash has risen so much in value and these two coins seem to still have a pretty strong inverse relationship. When BCC corrects, BTC will gain the lost value since people will be dumping BCC for BTC.

I'd predict that we'd see another ATH when Segwit activation happens. most likely >$5000.

Well, good on you for making some profit out of this.

$5000 is only like $850 away from us, and i think if market conditions are right for the next few weeks and Segwit is able to go through properly without any sort of issues or hiccups, then we could well see $5000 bitcoin by the end of this month/start of the next month.

Still though don't go crazy about it and buy a ton, because we are most likely in a bubble, and it could correct any time.

Cash out your profits now would be my advice. Price is still high.

Yes, of course, I believe $ 5000 is not even far from us right now, even just in August the bitcoin price almost up by $ 1000, so I believe bitcoin price will be higher than what we are expect and I predict it will happen at the end of this year. This is what keeps me happy all day long as I watch bitcoin price charts, despite fluctuations, but bitcoin prices still currently stable in $ 4000.

Stable price Bitcoin in this month is neutral trend, we can't know next trend is correction price for helps altcoin comeback or continue increasing up and make the altcoin market go to the hell ;D. This is the reason the market still don't have trend clearly.

Maybe we shall see bitcoin go up by another thousand dollars this coming week :P and we really not far from 5000, we just need to hang  in there maybe something special will happen before the end of the month

I think BTC will be between 3000-3500. On Twitter, there is an idea about passing many subcodes. The Altcoins are expected to rise. I do not expect a sharp decline in BTC.

Rising prices bitcoin has a certain regularity. After a sharp fall there is a sharp leap. Now we are seeing a decline. Maybe the price will be even $ 3,500, but after 7-10 days I am sure that the price will be $ 5000+

It's all good, but many people are lost from such figures and think whether it's worth dowry now, because soon as the price equation is not cool, but what it becomes is not clear, just today one could notice the negative growth of bitcoin

Holders won't sell their coins unless there is no other choice obviously.
But, if you thinking about sell and buy bitcoin carefully, consider this scenario;
1. You have BTC2 and the price of bitcoin may rise to $5000 in the next month.
2. Sell only BTC1 and keep another in safe wallet, then you get $5000.
3. Then bitcoin price get corrected and fall to $3000, an opportunity to buy back BTC1
4. So, you could have BTC2 and $2000 as profits from sell and buy back bitcoin.
That's why sell bitcoin at the peak is the most tempting act to do, but the problem is; we don't know exactly when the right time to sell at highest peak.

It is not far because it can happen so soon, I can attis to that. You can expect more increases as the year end is near and "ber " months is just behind our doorstep. 7000$ on December would be enough and not too much exaggeration on price prediction.

Seagwitt activation will be complete at 21 aug,if succesfoul we will see 5000$ if will be not than will be not so funny

Same time if something goes out of prediction too,  we have got the chances of reaching $5000 before the month ends as we already went close to $4500. If the price didn't reach $5000 by now then the same might happen during the end year price pumping which is expected to continue till the start of the next year.

u think that this BCH pump was only one and nothing else will happen? c'mon
they have piles of money and they do whatever it takes to pump bch more, means at least slight dump of btc

5k maybe, but not till this cryptowar is over

I think that the hype for the segwit activation already over but I just waiting for the next hype for the segwit 2x in September. And $5000 will be very easy to be passed as fast as possible. Because that brings the more speed for the bitcoin network. Segwit hype totally completed.

The price is frozen... whales are dumping it in stacks of 50btc each, in bearstamp, and using it to pump BCH.

the hell are talking about mate, it will reach 10000 by the end of the year if its possible , btc value just keep increasing and no one talk about bch or eth maybe also skyrocketed later , so many possibilities will happen next year , hope everything goes well

And now it's only $4100 again.

$5000 is never going to be easy to break. That is basically going to be half of $10k which is psychologically important for traders.

Growth has slowed down a bit, i think. And it was destined to slow down because of the fact that it was not going to be sustainable growth at all when all of a sudden you have a $1k increase in price in less than a week's time(actually half a week).

If bitcoin is going to break $5k, it's going to do it this year though. I'm just not entirely sure as to how much fuel is left in the tank to do so. This is resembling a bubble...

Yes, i don't think bitcoin will be far from $5000 and i'm sure someday it will reach $5000 even exceed it. But still we've to be careful and more control over bitcoin price movements that sometimes we can't predict exactly.

Bitcoin prices had experienced a significant decrease for 3 days. But I'm not worried because at this time bitcoin prices have started to increase, bitcoin prices will rise again and be comfortable at 4500 $. The current bitcoin price is like a wave, increasing and decreasing routinely in almost concurrent time intervals.

Just add $ 1000 from the current price, bitcoin price could reach $ 5000. But we do not know when that will happen. But I'm sure it will happen this year, as the rise in bitcoin prices this year is really unexpected. Holding back much longer may get a higher price.

Yes bitcoin is not far from $5000 but I think it will reach that maybe at the end of this year because right now the value stuck at $4400 and does not move higher in the past days. But who knows bitcoin is still unpredictable maybe tomorrow it suddenly rise or suddenly crash

For sure bitcoin price will reach 5000 dollars maybe this month or the month of september and for sure if this not happen between august  to september. For sure it will happen in this year 2017. So dont worry bitcoin price will reach 5000 dollars . So buy bitcoin now and for sure you will earn a lot of profit in the future. More bitcoin more profit to come aith you . Just hold your bitcoin.

For now we are on 4100 usd price which is 900 away on reaching 5000 usd price and we are almost there and 900 isnt too far away and we would definitely reach that price anytime soon and as you said it would happen on this year for sure.There might be price decrease but eventually bitcoins price do tend to rise up anytime it decreases.This is why i do save bitcoin as much as i can and i didnt buy bitcoin because its too expensive as of now this is why im relying on my bitcoin earnings and saving them on stash.

maybe in earlier september, bitcoin price will be $5xxx because its only need a week to increase from $$3400 to $4400 like the OP said. i will be glad to see $5xxx and i think i can withdraw my btc to fiat. i am sure that in the end, the price will jump to the moon like many people said.

We are all optimistic with bitcoin values continue to strengthen from day to day. As many demand about bitcoin accompanied by open-mindedness, make bitcoin more popular. And $5K a very likely value this year.

Today more and more people are interested in bitcoin. In addition, the demand for bitcoin in the world also greatly increased rapidly. It is not impossible that bitcoin prices could rise hundreds of dollars in just a few weeks. So whatever rates will be achieved I am sure that the price will be better than the current price rates. Bitcoin has a bright future ahead, the use of increasingly sophisticated technology will make bitcoin increasingly used for various financial transactions.

I agree, increasing interest in bitcoins is the way we can reach $5,000 levels target. Increasing adoption as well would be good. It would be nice to see a lot more people using bitcoins for purposes of transactions rather than holding it for purposes of investments. Using it only for speculative investment will not raise its value to its true potential amount.

Yes be positive about bitcoin. I like optimistic people who don't disheart  people without any reason. Currently the bitcoin price is progressing, there might be a little decrease in the price but it doesn't mean that the price can't reach to $5000.
My personal opinion about the bitcoin price is that we will see the price at $5000 in the next month and maybe earlier than that. So guys get ready for the new record to be set by bitcoin.

Some did not believe that bitcoin this year will reach 4000, and now we are talking about 5000. This is a huge step in the development of bitcoin. But I do not think that bitcoin is going to stop. If its price will also increase, then we will see not only 5 000, but also 8000-10000 by the end of the year

Exactly now its very hard to stop bitcoins as everyone was hoping to see the $4k price at the end of the year but we crossed that price before that so now anything is possible with bitcoins in coming months and I am sure that it won't take much time even to touch the price of $5k in coming days.

Although have many predict about target $5,000 in this year, but I don't think whales and rich man will make the market happening like our predict. They understand most trader are waiting them go out Bitcoin and comeback to altcoin for helps altcoin recovery, but they don't stupid helps us soon like now. This is reason in recently have some ICOs project go the moon after dumped to lowest price like Monaco, AdEx, NEO, OmiseGo, Bitquence ...

Bitcoin seems to be in a mood in which even the most impossible things seem easy, it was not long ago when we thought that reaching 1000 dollars again was very far away and now it seems we are never going to see a bitcoin price below 3000 ever again and the most important thing is that all of this happened in a relatively short time span.

Just wait for November, you will see the mood that happened before August 1 at least twice as big. People here will be screaming that Bitcoin money can vanish to ether again.

What will happen in November is far more important than what has or would be happening on the first of August. People however don't seem to understand that a 2MB hard fork is part of the SegWit2X proposal, but will kick in at a later point. They get blinded by how the price has gone up in the last weeks. I am sure that when the fud starts to pick up, and the price starts to go down as result of the uncertainties, people will start to feel it. As always, people will be creating threads asking why the price is going down despite the activation of SegWit, and at some point start with panic selling -- that's how things go here.

Everybody who didn't sell their coins being pressed of mass panic about the fork is a winner. I hope the next fork will bring us the same results and we will see so waited for 5000$ per BTC in few months already ::)

Today's bitcoin market price is $4149.37

Of course, $5000 is not far away from us ;D

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

We all know what happened to people who succumbed to the panic and sold in July. When the fud about Segwit2x starts spreading, we should just switch off our computers and ignore it for a while. Coins in cold storage will continue to grow in value.

The hard fork to 2MB was always part of the miners plan but the problem is that developers do not agree with this, this is going to create an even bigger split than what happened with bitcoin cash, in my opinion the fork coming in November is a lot more risky since there is a lot more support for that fork than what bitcoin cash got.

Things can change pretty fast.
Nobody knows what's going to happen when SegWit is activated on wednesday. I could imagine the price taking a plunge. Something like sell the news scenario.
A correction down to 3k wouldn't surprise me to be honest, and then 5000 isn't so close anymore.
I hope this is not gonna happen, but it definitely could. And if it should, so what, cheap coins!

Investment in bitcoin always bring a good return to investors over time except for those who sell out of panic. I believe it is currently at a good point of entry, for its market value on BCN stand at $4,007.22 at the time of this post, which may not likely decline any further but gather momentum for the next upward movement. Although anything can happen at any time.

I really hope that your words will be real and everything will happen just like that. I would not want Bitcoin to go down below 4000 dollars. Although for today it is still not enough for me, And I do not really want to see Bitcoin falling. I already hope that by the end of this year will see the reality of the desired $ 5000. As already promised more than 4 years later, we can generally see up to 100,000 dollars for Bitcoin. These are the forecasts of specialists, not my schizophrenia.

I guess it could hit $5,000 soon maybe in a couple of weeks in September,
I just hope that the other crypto's would also be pump but at the moment let's just enjoy what we have right now.

I do not think the next fork is going to bring that kind of profits I think we are going to see a lower price of bitcoin for a long time since it seems the miners are serious about their decision to split the network once again despite all the negative consequences that will bring.
