I think yes, people trust btc now, and are not panic selling like before.

Eventually.

Not this year.

June-August 2014

Hello bitcoin world!
Bitcoin will hit 300 to the end of the year. But if you talk about constant value over 300, it will be perhaps next year.Just my opinion. :)

Yes maybe in few months but we have to wait a lot before a real stabilization at 300.

Don't you think BTC is already overvalued? I bet on LTC in the near future!

Nope, Bitcoin is the only usefull cryptocurrency. But good luck with your LTC   ;)

Well if the price go to $100 you will see everyone panic and sell again...

I don't think it is over his price right now, it is even cheaper than I expected. LTC has great future I wish you success!

ltc is another good coin. You will see with time ...

I think it will not reach to that level in this year.

I doubt it will hit 300$ anytime soon, UNLESS we see something major happen that draws a massive influx of BTC users, with saying that it is quite likely.

I don't think it would hit that high but I hope it does. I am still keeping my Bitcoin and didn't manage to sell it on the recent peak.

It will be above $500 next year.

YES, And the 300$/btc will buy a tank of gas in France.

It will be above $250 next month. Haha.

at one time a guy paid 10,000 btc for a pizza, the day will come when ya can buy 10,000 pizzas for a btc

I'm really counting with this, fellas G_G

I believe once people are no longer buying ASIC and hold, the price would go up. I am thinking those corporate have been selling all the BTC they get..

You mean ASICminer ? They will continue sell BTC as soon as they mine it I guess

I believe the difficulty of mining Bitcoin will increase the price next year

It will hit $300 within a year, in my opinion. Possibly much sooner than that.

Hi
Maybe 250, but 300?, I don't think so, maybe next year :)

I am more concern that the price doesn't drop from 100 (which i also think won't happen)

You can make Bitcoin hit almost any value.


You could give someone $1 for 0.00001 Bitcoin. That values Bitcoin at $100K/Bitcoin!

Woot! Bitcoin just hit $100K!!!


(It's a bit like how laser powers are quoted.)

I think it will hit $300 sometime next year, but its hard to make predictions that far in the future with such a volatile market.

Ofcourse it will!  ;D

Yeah i lost all my bitcoins but i hope some guys be rich

this posible be 1 coin 300$
this just 35% or 40% up price this real i think 100%
you absolutley right!

It will hit $300 by end of year and will stabilize to $400-500 next year.

Do difficulty increase the bitcoin price? I dont think so.

The reason it might is because ASIC miners cannot be used for different task and hard to imagine people will turn these off. So these might mine at a loss if owners sell BTC immediatelly, so they might hold mined BTC instead

Of course it will hit even 500 on next 1-2 year

I believe it will... eventually.

We need another October to happen for that type of growth. Otherwise it'll be gradual.

$300 is a realistic price in the long term, maybe only within one, but of course that is just my opinion. The reason I think this it is because of the law of offer and demand, if more people get interested in bitcoin it will be more demanded and more people will be willing to pay a higher price. Of course that the first time we see bitcoin reach that price the volatility might be higher. What I wonder is instead, will bitcoin ever be in an stable price, at $300 or at any other?

it looks like going after 300 now . Should be over 500 by end of month hopefull.
Really nice rally the past week.

Bitcoin will only go up in my opinion. Maybe stable above $300 in February 2014 when the next generation of mining hardware have been adopted.

Yup

im exited to check this topic in one year again  ;D

300 is a long way off.  I see it getting there but there needs to be far more adoption by local business's for this thing to gain more traction.  It's wonderful that a lot of e-services are starting to accept it but we need far more real world adoption for it to really grow.  It's an amazingly fun thing to be a part of however, hopefully we get there!

We're basing it on having an order of magnitude growth every 10 months so far.  And with the Second Market fund bringing in a lot of wealthy old-money people and with the Winklevoss twins' new ETF bringing in everyone's 401ks and IRAs, there's no reason to believe it won't continue at that rate until proven otherwise.

Oh, and I think we'll see 300 in March 2014.

I see close to $300 close to New Years. As businesses wake up to Bitcoin, it'll make only sense to eventually convert.

$300? Definitely. When? Probably by the end of the year. Bitcoin will come to shine brighter and brighter as time passes due to the inevitaable death knell of the United States financial hegemony through their increasingly invasive and abrasive financial regulations. I imagine $1000/BTC in a few years due to rapid inflation that will occur when circulating cash 'round the world returns to the United States... but I also imagine the DOW at 20,000 due to the same inflation.

I own stocks, gold, and BTC. Priced in dollars...I'm bullish on all three.

I think it will certainly hit $300 eventually, but I'm not sure it will in this latest rally. I think we may have seen the top, and that we are due for a corrective wave downward and consolidation before we rocket up to new heights.  ;D

Only $300?

I think some will be surprised how high we go.

Previous price volatility still makes me nervous. But yes I think it will eventually hit $300, at least for a time. I don't own any bitcoin yet, but I'm considering it a lot more seriously now.

$300 definitively. The Bitcoin is very young, just 5 years old. Imagine what all might happen in another 5 years

We will definitely see $300 btc.

One thing is for sure though and that is BTC is an unmanipulated market the likes of which no one of alive has ever seen.
Gold is manipulated, silver, stocks, bonds, future markets, etc by the banks/cia/illuminati.  Bitcoin however doesn't seem to be manipulated and so should follow math. Supply and Demand folks. The supply is fixed and the demand is growing. You do the math.

Its sure btc reach $300, maybe next year if not staying stable over that sure one or more time bubble there.

Bitcoin price crashes are manipulated by big whales sell offs.  ;)

If the chinese keep buying for another 4-5 months, i will not be surprised if it hits $500 and crash back to 200.

time for pumping again. So when it hits everyone dumps and ends up at $100 again.  8)

Many things will drive it up.

• Edan Yago launches his Cryptocurrency-based Political Zone in a sensible part of South America [November]. Caribbean coast gets my vote; Guyana or Suriname. Its a free market city on leased land (~99 year) in a third world country.
• A large chain store accepting bitcoin in the western world.
• A mention of bitcoin in media in connection to crowdfunding of public goods.
• A mention of bitcoin in a major primary debate/ battle between the Tea Party Republicans and the rino's (republicans in name only).
• A positive mention of bitcoin in the 2014 election.
• Or a completely foolish attack on it by democrat member that is clearly lossing his seat and had not done any research.
• A third world country with a small population switching to bitcoin or creating an Altcoin to replace its failed currecy.

A few things can drive it down.

• Fincen or the FBI take down a mixer successfully.
• a Kidnap and ransom case with a bitcoin demand. Many noobs would not realise that because the block chains public the ransoms traceable. People would expect a knock on the door during the hunt. The anarchist would panic sell on a successful trace and arrest. People will call for a ban on bitcoin. It would come back up.
• The FBI goes insane and sells the confiscated silk road bitcoin and tiny prices in an attempt to kill the marker. That should fail but some will panic.

It should still end higher mid 2014 regardless of what happens.

started colecting btc few hours ago

Yes. Just a matter Of time as the value of usd keep dropping everyday.

Id be quite surprised if any western politician would dare to try to mention cryptos in a positive light*. Since the western political world are in bed with the banks, why would they want to upset them?
Similarly with large retail chains, they get a lot of credit from bankers, why give them a slap in the face? Everyone can just quietly dabble with BTC for the time being, no need to bring it into the limelight until its impossible to ignore.

*Im sure the banks are figuring out a way to get 'profitably involved' with crypto world at the mo, or have already figured it out and are just waiting for the best time to do so without killing the market dead.

I agree the price will keep going up (asides the odd pivot point sell off, like when it hits 250 again). But I think its up to the independant stores to get BTC into the high street for the next loong while (until the banks take a position*).[/list]

It is only matter of time when some politicians get experience with Bitcoin and understand it is usefull and freedom supporting payment method

My prediction:
In light of the increase in price due to the influx of money/interest from China (according to bitcoincharts, BTChinas market share in Yuan increased from 7% to 20%), thus boosting the prices from 120s to the current 200s. I believe the next big sustainable price increase will come from Canada in the coming months, also increasing their market share in BTC from 7% to 20%.

This will happen as a result of the successful and sustained deployment of the bitcoin ATM machines in Vancouver and across Canada. While I doubt there will be a high volume of monetary activity through the machines, the machines will act as patron saints to BTC and will get Canadians interested, or at least move them towards actions within the Canadian market. I would expect this process to take 1 to 2 months. This is accounting for opening trading accounts in Canada.

My 2 Satoshis.

I totally think it is possible within the year. The fact is this, the more people that know & start the use BTC the more demand there will be. As the above poster mentioned, the lofty price bump was related to Asia's further discovery of the currency. So I think that a large part of it  is placed on the shoulders of the community. Get out there and start talking about BTC. Tell your friends, tell your family, half joke with your local businessman if he accepts Bitcoin because your short on "cash". If you offer a service ....any service, offer a bitcoin service. If you sell stuff on craigslist, a simple one line stating youll accept bitcoin with a discounted price could be effective. coinbase has made some leaps and bounds make stupid simple means to integrate BTC for merchants. A combined effort could prove powerful.

Ohh and one more thing, as you preach your Bitcoin gospel. Set people straight. I bet a large percentage of people that are vaguely familiar with BTC will associate it to "The drug currency" or the "internet black market money" which is stupid because If i want to buy illegals, I can do so with USD, EURO etc etc. Sorry but that one i a pet peeve of mine so I had to include in my rant. Cheers...

There is no doubt in my mind that Bitcoin will hit $300 soon (a few months, if that). I heard there was a new BTC ATM placed in Canada, and there has been a lot of people sharing things on non-Bitcoin sites.

Greater fool theory says yes it will.

The value of this is very interesting these days! I wish I had some more in my virtual crypto wallet.

To the original question, I do think it will hit $300 sooner rather than later.

Let's hope it will keep a stable 200$ first!
But yes, I think it will hit the 300$ if something similar as the china-effect will happen.

So if Litecoiners say "Arise Chicken", what do Bitcoiners say?  :P

Well, but Bitcoin is useable so greater fool theory does not apply here. If you cant find it useable now, you will be surprised in future

eventually I believe it will, I cant think of a reason why not.

lol NO. LTC is a fickle mistress... I remember when it was $4/LTC and everyone was convinced it'd go to $10 and stay there.
Yeah, it's rallied lately, but NOTHING like in the past. It's basically a great coin to trade for BTC.

Been watching LTC for a long time. Unless you're making BTC off of it... I mean, it's not exactly skyrocketing every day.

I most likely agree on BTC hitting 300$+ in January.

I just felt like saying it again:

No doubt in my mind. Yes.

i heard that too

$300 will happen, people are gaining interest in bitcoin everyday, and when they wanna purchase-the market will react accordingly

BTC Will go much higher then $300, dont spend it all now, try to keep at least 50% put away.

ok

Tell kids and students about this, and we will see the bitcoin market become something it has never been before. Child friendly.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1peyx7/holy_shit_this_changes_bitcoin/

DONT SPEND ANY if possible

Usability has nothing to do with speculative value, therefore greater fool theory does apply.

This guy offers some interesting numbers...and I wouldn't be surprised if we see something very close to this.

http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/1p7mkc/some_napkin_calculations_on_the_latest_bubble/


If this holds up, we haven't even touched the parabolic climb we're about to experience...this will blow away our previous record highs.

Keep reading though...as 719 is definitely the top of a mountain, and then it falls to around 150 (assuming the trend continues like the previous bubble in April).

will hit at the end of this year

Two threads that can change the way you earn coin :)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233997.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293035.

Should hit it in march would be my best guess. 

It might be March, but what year ?  :)

I think 300 is no big problem to happen, given the BTC volatility. 1000 is another story

Definitely will hit $300.  But the chicken haters are going to be eating crow.

Yes I actually think it may reach $300 but I don't see how it would without getting a lot of people intentions,then I think it would dwindle down back again hopefully stay in the $200 range.

I have a feeling we'll see some impressive figures well before March, and some impressive crashing as well...it's not the sky falling though, it's the market flooding with newcomers...like this thread...if Bitcoin hits 500+, you can bet your ass the whole world will start waking up to Bitcoin, and we'll see some interesting progression right after a dip back down to the 150 range from some whales becoming millionaires.

So sayeth the hemp.

Probably has to do with the Canada and China news.

All at once, it makes it seem like Bitcoin could hit $300 sooner than could have been predicted. I thought $300 was a while off, at least a year, before I heard these two things.

And this isn't "the good news", this is "the beginning of much good news to come"

Also...if my estimates are correct, we could see a sharp "correction" in the stock market here soon...which will possibly be great for bitcoin, but bad for worldwide economy...we're talking record breaking drops.  Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin stand to gain where fiat may flounder.

As my source for this...I went to Investopedia and looked up Triple Top...

Then I went to Google and pulled the timeline out on the S&P 500 back through 1995 (Standard and Poors top 500 stocks...which most people feel is the pulse of the market).

Although we are past the tops of the previous two peaks...I feel there is little but hot air keeping us there, and a likelihood of running out of hot air balloon fuel.

Not all fiat is going down.

There is something in the Forex world that is being talked about called an "R/V" and "Re-Evaluation". Apparently the Dinar and Dong are about to become more valuable than American dollars, and if you pay attention to what is happening, it almost seems like the American government is doing a 51% takeover of the Iraqi economy.

Everyone says that the American economy has billions invested already, and when you read about the "R/V" it basically sounds like a stimulus plan from America to other countries.

I think what is going to happen is the American government has been pumping Dinar so that American's would preform the 51% take over from home. Then the government will raise the value of Iraqi Dinar and buy it all from American's as they rush to sell.


But, yes, as the dollar falls (if it does indeed fall, instead of the Iraqi Dinar making a great rise. And it could really go either way) Bitcoin will probably see a rise as people look for something to store their money in while the American economy collapses.

Um... How bout, the Silk Road is closed, so now Bitcoins are viable presents. People buy gift cards all the time, and Bitcoin is now basically a giftcard that can be spent anywhere online, but not to buy crack.

And it's the gift card where "If you by it now, it will probably be worth more by Christmas" how many other giftcards can say that?

I think it will not reach to that level in this year.

Ganna take another 3 years until it hit $300 when the mining halve take into effects.

I think BTC will easily hit $300 this year.  It might even stabilize above $300. 

Here's some evidence:
1. The Chinese are starting to buy a bunch of it and the government practically endorses it.
2. The closure of silk road only temporarily depressed the price (although if/when the fbi sells the seized coins the price will certainly drop for a while, but it will be good to get bitcoin into the hands of honest people)
3. The first bitcoin atm's are opening up (in Canada) and it is becoming easier for businesses to accept the coin.

Plus, I think if bitcoin becomes large enough most stores will want to follow the rules and tax bit coin transactions.  This would slow any negative potential government intervention. Once you can buy all of your groceries at Walmart with bitcoin I can see the market cap approaching $1 trillion (in several years).

 If the current trend of bitcoin price continues (~1000% year) it could easily hit $1,000 next year, at which point it will be hard for me not to sell some   ;D

I hope so, but not before I can jump in and buy some!

At what price are you considering jumping in?

I have this feeling too but am pretty sure we will see 1k/BTC in 2014 (or so I hope ;)) so worrying about the current ups and downs might be the wrong way to go about it.

BTC was at $103 just 28 days ago, I remember because I bought a bunch!!

Bwhahahahhahaha

i'm pretty confident BTC value will hit $300 as well as i'm confident that there is a lot of hot air in it that is waiting to be let out.
the big question is which is going to happen first  ::)

I'm pretty confident that btc will hit $300 before January 1, 2014. I'm willing to bet 3 btc for this.

I think that btc will reach 300$ within 2014 :) (I hope)

yes end off this year

Yes it probably will!

$10,000 if the chinese buy em up.

Chinese dont have enought money  :)

But now Im confident $300 will hit next year

1/4 next year deffinetly hits 300$

Why whould u sell if u can buy food and go to cafge with BTC ?!

It might due to the new Chinese and mainstream news interest.
I think another 50% increase in a few months would be indicative of a new bubble.
I personally expect it to be around $250 per coin at the end of year.
Really regretting that I just started getting into Bitcoins lately.
The days of 10,000% ROI are over.

Thats true, but it is less risky as bitcoin is used by more merchants now

And some big players come to bitcoin...

http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/29/chamath-palihapitiya-owns-5-million-in-bitcoins-wants-to-own-10-15-million/ (http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/29/chamath-palihapitiya-owns-5-million-in-bitcoins-wants-to-own-10-15-million/)

$300 very soon...

I never said I would sell my bitcoins at $1,000, just that I'd be tempted to.  Also, the market will probably remain volatile at that point... I could sell at $1,000 and buy at $500 for example.

Unfortunately where I live I can't just go to the grocery store and buy stuff with bitcoin.  Also, there is no bitcoin ATM close to me!

not yet, but wait :D

I hope it does! I will be to excited.

Christmas is coming, and new year too, time for expenses and new investments, I think Bitcoin will get $300 in December or January easily, caused by new investors in new year

NO

I think the price will exceed $1000 by December 25th, this year. Up until the end of the holiday season, bitcoin buying will be rampant. Little children the world over won't want the latest iPad. They'll be screaming at their parents to buy them bitcoins! And parents will placate their children by stuffing their stockings with 1-2 bitcoins. Bitcoins will be found wrapped in presents and hung on trees as ornaments.

I think, if you compare bitcoins to gold, because both are limited goods, it will exceed $10K. Apart from this, 21M BTC is more than will be available because of losses.

based on how the price has been increasing this year, i definitely think this is possible

It definitely will, but hopefully it'll be a slow but steady increase. If we get something insanely fast like in April it'll only burst and crash again.

i hope it will  ;D ;D ;D ;D i lot will be making some big money if it will.

I think it will hit $300 in Nov.

first will be crash now and then BTC will recover to 208

I think and hope so I really want to see bitcoin explode, especially with all of the unstable world currencies right now (not that bitcoin is stable but I'd like to put my money into something that will grow and keep its value over time)

there is not such thing in the world, there will always be variations positive or negative

I believe we are entering a new realm.  Somewhere I was reading a page (might've been a Forbes article) talking about Bitcoin and relative risks associated with it.  It shows how regulatory risks have actually decreased significantly.  This is huge because the institutional investors won't touch an investment that isn't legal, but once the legal framework exists, it's game on.  The author of the article believes this is a very positive position to be in, and was speaking in a highly bullish manner.

I'd have to say I agree...the US threw some threats around and took out some of the most brazen (DPR and SR), thus leaving the network stronger, with more legitimate businesses on the roster. 

I have a suspicion we are about to soar, but if you were to look at the anatomy of a bubble we are still all very much in the "smart money" phase...someday people will be like, I wish I had bought it when it was only 1000 USD a peice!

My thoughts exactly. The ride is just about to begin!

I hope it does my life is in it.

This private secret  ???

Yes, reason??

Easily there is more and more coverage on it everyday I think I read somewhere mark cuban even owns a couple hundred bitcoins as and he is one of the best investors alive.

I think it could get up to thousands of USD in the coming decade. I sure hope so anyway. Anyone else agree?

it is decade from 2010-2020 :D
we hope 1/2 of the following decade

Bitcoin needs to be adopted by big retailers. I think as they come on board we will definite spikes in bitcoin's value.

overstock.com is apparently thinking about accepting payment http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/31/technology/bitcoin-pursues-the-mainstream.html?_r=0 this is kind of good news for bitcoin stability ,but bad news for speculator..i think it can 300$ but not now,when it reaches more mainstream markets..

I have seen the future, the price will hit $400 within this year ;D ;D ;D ;D

My bet is $400ish followed by a crash to $210.

People forget that the volumes of cash to take bitcoin to this kind of level are massive compared to bringing bitcoin up to 260.

Last month this time it was $130.  Today (4 Nov 2013) it's at $240 and the trend looks upward.  Given that difficulty is going up 40% per month and the days of "anyone can mine bitcoin" are well and truly over, I expect it to be at $300 before the end of the month.

Hitting $300 seems to be alittle too easy, maybe end of this year..

At this rate we are going, we only need like 2 weeks until it reaches $300...

I think: 01/2014.

It will not forever hit $300.

Early 2014 for sure!

Why not?

$300 will be broken within 10 days, possibly under 2-5 days in the current market. Buy side is increasing on EVERY exchange while sell side is disappearing.

I think it will not reach to that level in this year.

"not forever" just means "not eternally", therefore his statement can be interpreted as "It will not eternally (cancels itself) => maybe? hit $300"  ;D I'm probably overthinking it.

hitting 300 isn't that important, staying or going further than 300$ is

The short answer is yes.  However, the bitcoin exchange rates tend to be extremely volatile, and so if it does touch 300 you can bet it'll jump around for a while.

On the other hand, the huge number of efficient asic miners coming on the market right now will really be a determining factor as to whether the bitcoin continues to grow in value.  Sadly, the bitcoin currency could become something out of reach for the average diy miner very soon.  Economically speaking farms are much more profitable, so large companies that invest lots of resources will end up making the most profit.

Maybe next week. The price is now surging. Hopefully when online stores accept bitcoin, that will be the time that BTC hit the $300 mark.

It might, depends on the amount of people that uses bitcoin. It might be hitting $300 within 3 to 5 years.

I think BTC can hit $300 even this year, but it can fall down any time.

its touch this figure before chrismiss surely  ;D

Given how fast the price grows now, $300 will hit this week very likely, maybe tommorow.

This or back to under $200  ;)

Looking at the way its going it will no doubt hit 300$ by the end of the year if not sooner maybe even in the next few WEEKS. I wish I would have bought some a month ago when it was $125 before it instantly bloated overnight. So yes I think it will hit 300 some folks said by the end of the year. I think its going to hit 300 and more by the end of the month if not in the next 2 weeks wouldnt be a surprise. it'll just be another bubble to pop. this is crazy its insane I wake up and check to see its gone up multiple dollars in a night.

Sky is the limit for bitcoin.  $300 is a given, the question is when will bitcoin hit $1,000.

In a sense that's true.  Since there is only a limited number of coins that may be mined, as long as there is continued consumer interest the value will increase exponentially.  The more demand, the higher the value.  That's why minting conventional money is often dangerous for the economy: we produce so much money that suddenly it isn't scarce any more.

That can't happen with bitcoin, so lets hope people like it!

Hello, I am a noob in this bitcoin world

just invested my first bitcoin in the record high of USD260


what is my expectation you ask??


well, I expect bitcoin to reach 4000 in year 2014 and 80000 in year 2015 and finally 1 million in year 2016

wish me luck

Well they may trust it but people will panic and when they do the price will drop

keep rising babey. then drop and rise even more

That's what I'm leaning more towards too, that we'll have another big drop in the not too distant future, then it will restabilise and continue on its upward ramp.

I think the more recent increases have been down to both larger investers taking bitcoin seriously, along with main stream media picking up on Bitcoin once more, with the stories like the ATM machines in Canada (which I hope to see in the UK very soon!).

You weren't kidding! Not far from the truth!

At this rate, it is hitting $300 tomorrow..

probably sometime in the near future

Bitcoin is crazy, its going up about 20$ everyday.... it will hit $300 in no time...

keep this up day dreaming is not ban its allowed every where in the world :D

Yes invest while you can

The smart money is getting into BTC now as the critical mass has been reached .

Private key not yet funded?

To the moon! ┗(°0°)┛

Yes it will, before the end of next week!

I sure hope you're right.  I'm a newbie to bitcoin and took a position at 270 to add so diversity to my portfolio.

:-)

its so funny to see the varying responses in this thread over a matter of 7-10 days because of how much the market has fluctuated this week..

I got started on btc when it was 60, so I'm good, but I hope you can have just as much success as I have!

i hope that i will have such success :)

its more a question of how hard it will crash once it reaches 300 now. everyone and their dog should pay strong attention to that!

well, it just did.. :o

Yes, I think it will it's just a matter of when now.

It nearly hit $300 today alone. by the time BTC run out and miners only receive a fee from transactions (not for a very very long time still) they should hit $1000-$2000 if not more.

Donations welcome
1KphmSKXH73Hhsr1smB5arse3s6BKXR4A3

 All evidence points to that direction. Will hit the $300 mark by the end of next week, making us all happy Bitcoin owners! ;D

Yes...it already did...end thread.  Celebrate with beer (or cry yourself to sleep with beer if you sold...either way, beer).

now the interesting question is how many times will it hit $300 and traveling in which direction when it hits?

i have asked a lot of people how they put a value on bitcoins and have heard a lot of interesting answers.

for myself, i have no idea how to value them other than to watch the exchange rate evolve over time and watch the economy around bitcoin evolve. it's still so early in the game. if you told me $1 or $100,000 per btc, they make equal sense to me at this point.

Don't miss the dip to $210-230... after that it can go full steam ahead :)

Agree with ^^^

Don't buy just yet, now is a good time to shop with BTC.  There is a slight bubble now, but I don't think BTC will totally crash - it's just overvalued right now because a lot of Chinese nationals are sinking their retirements into it.  Wait until it falls 20-30% and then buy in.

I think this thread is officially concluded!  ;)

I think the answer is Hell YEAH!

Why not $500 milestone instead?  :P

I did not believe this year we will have over 270 as ATH, but I was wrong  :(

If you liked this thread, then you'll love the new one :)

Who knew that BTC will hit. Maybe he will hit 1000$ this year

Some people are saying it will.

It will hit 1000$ maybe this year but maybe this, next will for sure

Ha I was right!

+1 for you

But most influence in price right now has a chineese goverment

I know this post is about a month old but it's passed $300. :)

yes but now task is 500$   ;D

so it just hit 300, pretty hard;p 500 might be in 2014 now...

I sure he do this very soon we must show this in next 3 or 4 weeks  ;)

maybe, but soon crush will come

Not necessary, we shall see if 300+ can be stable longer. If yes, 500 might hit this year easily

We did it! Celebration time come on!

Celebration for you, but most of the ppl are greedy and they are not satissfied with 340$ price, they want higer and higer

bitcoin now is 350 usd.
may be by december we will be talking of 700 usd per bitcoin.
by january of feb next year 1,000.
this is the best investment.

wow, so we hit 500$/3000CHY this morn!
got me thinking about the Monday 18th meetings-in the forex trading world i dabble in, this kind of huge steady increase in the days before large announcements/discussions that have a large impact on the affected currencies' value is due to a leak on the info to be announced...
maybe were seeing buy ups because the US is about to give it a thumbs up. because its the chinese buying doesnt necessarily indicate much. OR maybe because a lot of the buying is outside of US it indicates the US investors know its going to be bad news and are waiting for the crash...

not much help am i :P

As much as I want to believe this and hope this is the case, if you look at the behaviour of other markets prior to big announcements, what you usually see is a pre-emptive swing in one direction, then as the announcement gets made a huge swing in the opposite direction, its basically traders exploiting the opportunity for some quick fast gains in the market.

Granted there aren't any actual decisions being made at these hearings, but it'll definitely have a big impact.

that guy should kill himself now

You do realise that without people like him, your Bitcoin would be worthless today?

The question still remains..  Do you think BTC will hit $300?

It's now something like $580 and rising steep. I know want it to drop so I could buy, but will it ever do that?
As soon as it starts to drop even a bit, people start buying, not selling - so how can it really go down?

Another waste of space thread. Those replies look dumb in the hindsight and show how little one can predict. People keep trying to apply classic rules of totalitarian economy to something that is designed to counter it. It will never stick. Nobody knows how bitcoin will behave. Same people who last time when it lost value managed to sell on top and did the same now can clearly see this. Since I got into this I decided to buy it and keep, not speculate on it. What will be the future value of bitcoin is more philosophical question than economical one

Bitcoin cannot be controlled. It can only be speculated upon.

Well this is a funny title now!

Who knows, maybe tomorrow it will be $ 1,000

It's late but I did not think they would hit 300.

Btc is heading twoards $600+ already

Ony time will tell if under $300 happens. So far there is huge demand so I dont see the price go under $300 this month

You mean $700+? It already passed $600, and will probably stay above $500 for the rest of the year.

I agree, BTC 700+.

whats a bitcoin and why would it cost $300.

congrats folks high $750

MtGox does not count  :P
No seriously, $1000 tommorow probably, or this week

the sky is the limit =P

think you mean 3000, great times

people in the EU and japan can still use gox, normally i wouldn't count it, but BTC china was at about $850  :P

FUNNY topic name now, Like i hope that 1000$ name will be funny

Um yes hahaa! But a crash must come soon, if we dont slow down!

Verry good margin

and why is that? We = who?

By the context it sounds like the Chinese, but in order to stop the crash people must not sell. I guess he means people who are selling?

lol didn't it hit like $700 today? Less panic and more trust now :)

You right - maybe it's THEM. I don't really know about the crash - I don't sell for "ideological" reasons I guess.

Btw. I look at bitstamp with fascination right now. It's going up to 755 just to fall back to 497 and back to 693? Crazy man......

Daytraders will not sleep, a lot of money to be made today

Or maybe lost?:) I am not a daytrader so I will go to sleep now

probably will, but not stabilize at 300 anytime soon.

this topic looks funny now

Cool, that it not even took 20 days to almost tripple the $300...

a little more than 20 days

1 day bitcoin will be worth 10000 usd

You mean 1,000,000

i doubt in 1 000 000 but one hundert tousand will

He obviously mean 10,000
But I agree, there is good chance for 1,000,000 to happen.

There are not so many cash in world ih BTC worth 1 000 000

1 million never.
Whats the point?

I think it  will go up and up to 10.000 usd and one day collapse becoming worthless

I am not the only one who thinks the same as you. WHat if 80% of ppl wnat their money from BTC now. What then do you still think that there will be someone likely to buy their BTCS ?!   no ofcourse

Why would it ever be wroth $1mil?

Hahaha reading the first page now and seeing it's written in oct 2013 is pretty fucking humourous! Nobody could predict china to be this big. Such power, when will this end?

i hope never
