Bitcoin Forum

Last 3 weeks growth has been slow, steady and strong amongst slight price fall now and then. Experts said the price would grow back by end of April and yes it happened. So will bitcoin price hit $20K by August 2018? I am sure yes if this current growth trend remains as it is.

What are your thoughts?

most likely the uptrend will continue, but how far and how fast... have no idea. Hope to see new thoughts here too :)

This price was already expected because every year this will going to moon in June to December then again it will drop in first 3 to 4 months so many trusted investors are hold for long term. I hope Bitcoin is reach more than 20k USD in August but many altcoins are growing well in this year so all the Cryptocurrencies are move forward in future.

There cannot be steady growth. If market participants feel that there is steady growth, then the noobs will rush in with their money. When this happens the market will inevitably overheat and there will be a correction. Bitcoin has been volatile through out and I dont expect it to change in the near future.

There are more than thousand surprises in the prices of bitcoin.I will not be shocked if bitcoin price even double 20k before August.This is because I know people who never believed in bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole walk up to me and start asking me how they can invest in bitcoin.I am like change is really spreading like wild fire.Change is here and bitcoin inversion has become powerful.

I think the recent up trend has something to do with the announcement that the Winklevoss twins might be helping to get

Bitcoin onto NASDAQ.  ??? https://qz.com/1261537/winklevoss-twins-gemini-bitcoin-exchange-partners-with-nasdaq-to-monitor-for-market-manipulation/

It was enough to put a spark under the butts of most investors to get back in, before that happened. I think we might see a

higher price, towards the end of the year... IF that happens.  ;)

I think a steady growth is a confirmation that the increase is sustainable. This is what the price has shown since last 3 weeks as you have rightly pointed out, having risen from $7,800 . I expect more better run but don't know if it will get to $20,000 by the August.

Many people add doubt the price of bitcoin will get back to 10,000$.If this continue, we can expect the price of bitcoin will reach back to 20k$ by the end of August.We know the price of bitcoin will reach new peak in the month of August. We can expect some peak in the price of bitcoin on August. You can hold the bitcoin till this August, to sell at high price.

I've previously said that an ambitious, but not unrealistic, goal, is for bitcoin to reach 20k USD again by the end of this year. I think August is too soon, but we'll see.

I believe price is a matter that depends on the demand and supply. So it is tough to predict the price of then. Even we did not predict the price fall of the beginning of this year. But the trend is positive and it is reflecting the thing your predicted.

I think that it's too early to say something like  that as the uptrend has been going through for only about 2-3 weeks, you can't really say that it's now a completely bull market and it's not a bull trap.
We will need to have a massive hype, just like we had before in order to reach that levels, I think that without any real news there is no chance that we will see this levels but we will surely won't decrease a lot in price.

Usually the market recovery starts during the Q2 and goes progressively till the end of the year. Of course there will be slight price decrease but usually results to more growth in the market demand. So, the possibility that the bitcoin price to hit $20k is not impossible this year.

I think that there will be no bitcoins of 20K, because then there were so many bans on crypto currency, various hacking. In 2017, various experts prognasized that bitcoin would be 50K.

In my forecast, a maximum of 15K at the end of the year, when all profits will be fixed.  :)

FORECAST: a foresight of what would have happened if it had not happened what happened.
                                                                                                                       British economist Ralph Harris

If this uptrend continues, there is no reason not to see bitcoin at $20.000 by august or late 2018. By looking at the current trend $20.000 is very possible in 2018 but we can't know what will happen next month.

The growth has been steady and the support levels are strong, but the problem now is, it is finding hard to cross the resistance it is facing at $10k and even today we thought it will cross that valuation but it came down instead, by this trend it is impossible to reach $20k by August.

Highly doubt 20K but 15K may be acheivable. It does not trend to any boom any time soon, so it won't rise so fast. But you don't know what you don't know, so we will see.

It would be great i suppose, it would allows us to earn more and to became wealthy faster then before the fall.

That is a very big if, if the trend were to maintain itself it is possible that you are right but if there is something that defines bitcoin is its volatility and unpredictability, so I'm not so sure that we're going to see such a huge price by that time in fact I am not sure that we are going to see that price by the end of this year, and my reasoning is very simple there needs to be a huge hype to reach that price and right now I do not see it.

I dont think that we are gonna see another growth like the one that we had on December. Also, the market is not growing fast at the moment (it is at the same place that it was on early jan)
So for me, we all need to wait until it passes $11k at least.

I hope it will reach the 20k in August as everyone is waiting for it unless people don`t dump it in any price drop or FUD, so it is depended more in investors and holders I guess.

I think it can happen, it just takes one news headline like amazon accepting bitcoin via its lightning node. But taking that apart i also think it is possible to happen. I am long term bullish

Many financial firms are planning to launch investments in BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

This will again cause an increase in the price of encrypted money!

Maybe at the end of June the BTC will be up to $20,000!

I am positive that it will really happen. Their last prediction did happen so there is no doubt that it will become true also. I am looking forward for the month of August. Let us hold our coins and wait for that month. God bless all of us.

Just my opinion - BTC rising up to 20k in a couple of months can work opposite and turn down the investors and many projects. Volatility only plays for traders, most of investors who put their money long term want it to rise, but not too fast. I would say $12-15k for about half a year would be nice, so we can finally see some big projects done and working, to prove BTC is stable

if the trend will be steady like today for sure it will happen but it is steady, remember bitcoin is highly volatile, we cannot rely on the trend you are saying. but being optimistic really helps, let us hope that this slow and steady trend of ups and downs will continue and surely bitcoin "could" hit the $20k mark.

I think yes, it will happen that it will reach $20K by the end of August. Very possible. For me because South Korea is about to legalize Initial Coin Offering and authorities are hurrying for the legalization. Who would say no to a multi-billion dollar opportunities. I hope other countries will do the same thing as South Korea about to legalize ICO.

https://www.ccn.com/south-korea-has-no-choice-but-to-legalize-icos-and-it-may-happen-soon/

Even if the trend of the crypto coins is volatile or abruptly changing but I think there is somewhat pattern can be formed. Maybe because there is what we call seasons or trends of people's activity that is sometimes common to all of us. As the month of august for me is closer to the last quarter of the year in which the demand of money is atmost. So maybe the demand of the crypto coins is high and the supply in the market is low since everybody is saving it for the next months.

20 grand by august feels unlikely in the extreme to me. you don't have the biggest bubble ever, noodle around for a few months, and then return to the height of the bubble again.

we'll hit 20 grand on the way to the next top and that could be a couple of years away. until then it'll seem like a distant dream. all that's left in the market is bots and scalpers. there's nothing to inspire them to push for the stars again.

But I don't see any steady growth in the price of bitcoin,it is just bumping and dumping but hopefullt the prices may recover at the second half of every year so that might happen in this year also.

I still dont see that the market is really in bullish condition, so im not sure it will reach $20k again in August 2018, but maybe at the end of this year.
Its been a long time since i enjoyed a beautiful green day  :'(

you didn't notice it adding over $1000 in the space of a few hours a few weeks back?

the fact that it got to $9990 on that run when the ATH was $19990 tells me we're under the control of some jokers who enjoy making a point. what's needed is an army of rabid newcomers to drown them for a while.

It seems will occur in the month of August.Every year their is huge raise in July - December,I think this year also we can expect huge raise in bitcoin price.20k$ is the expected peak of many investors.Personally I think the price of bitcoin will reach 20k$ by this August.

hopefully it happens, because it is in the middle of the year until the end of the year bitcoin experiencing significant spikes. our duty just be patient to wait for that time for come until the end of this year

from the very first time you made this thread, the price actually decreased a few percent in the last few weeks, there is not a slight sign of the price to go up and even this can not be called stable. my prediction for next month the price will be below the price of $ 18,000 if that price also now broke through the figure at $ 10,000 in the near future.

There are many theories coming along the way. I mean people are saying that there are two possibilities for the bitcoin and both of them are fighting with each other at this very point. For example, there is group of people who believe that bitcoin has lost its resistance level and thus it might be difficult or might take long time for it to recover and reach ATH like that. And there is another group who argues that if bitcoin is able to break the resistance of 10 K USD then only it is possible for bitcoin to reach ATH this year. So my thoughts are saying that, it may reach but it wont reach by the August Month as it is too quick.

I don't think it will be by August, but in August - it is when usually the first big ride occurs.

For me, it's very frustrating to see this current growth of bitcoin more often. As everyone believes BTC is the biggest, oldest and most secure network, as mass adoption happens and its market cap grows it will become more stable. Bitcoin is fairly worth of the holdings, but we will never achieve that result unless that breaks happens.

Well I think no it's too early to reach that highest price of bitcoin maybe we can see that price end of the year maybe November or December surely will hit $20k price of bitcoin.

Every week more and more ICOs being launched. This will add more money flowing in crypto.

This year Bitcoin will not be 20K, it will not even be 15K. In my opinion, bitcoin will fluctuate between 8K and 10K. In this period, investors feel comfortable, have 20% of profit. By the end of the year, the cost of Bitcoin can rise to a maximum of 12-13K.

That's right it fluctuates back and forth from $9,000 to $8,000 never set afoot nor break to 10,000 barriers this April and May well let's see as the current month is not yet finished, we must see some developing and promising growth in its price and its innovations or developments to boost its price, $20,000 by August is possible given by the fact that it can uptrend tremendously for a few weeks last year is the evidence but don't get your hopes too high.

hopefully that prediction can happen, everyone hopes there is an increase of up to $ 20K even more.

Yeah actually it is hard to predict cryptocurrency and one of that is bitcoin the unpredictable price. We are all hoping on that happen that the price will increase every month and other reason why Bitcoin can't hit the price of $20k it because of having regulations in cryptocurrency which is not gonna happen.
This month until August if you compared last year chart price movement it is going to decrease and bouncing back in the month of December, and that month surely bitcoin will going to the moon and that base on my prediction, both of us have a different perspective to predict.

The articles that you put indeed is a good news for the world of cryptos, but there is no exact date and month government will soon legalize domestic ICO in South Korea. So there is no real certainty in August the cryptos market will experience price increases. It is a bit of regret if an asset that will affect the economy of the country is given to other countries. Hopefully, the Korean government will provide a quick response to deciding on legalizing the existing ICO in the country, so it can change the cryptocurrency market from a downtrend state.

Bitcoin s unpredictable in the sense now that no one can guess its highest or lowest value during the corresponding phase and no one can really mark the exact time of a phase. From its past behavior and market situation, crypto experts get some idea and broadcast it everywhere. Most of the times they succeed in their predictions. Normal way of bitcoin is to decline in the month of July and August plus it will not touch 20k dollars before the last quarter of the year.

Oh stop, please, I'm tired from all this out of base prognosis. Wake up!  Bitcoin is falling again, 7900$ currently. Three months it is too short period for bitcoin to recover itself to 20000$.

All if us is hoping that bitcoin will hit 20k price but not the short of time we all know that market is always volatile now so we need to be patience even the price is slowly to rise but we will get there.

August is too soon I think. Currently, bitcoin is around 8,000 USD and 20,000 USD is way of the radar. I guess that 20K usd will happen again during the year but around the last quarter. Let's hope for the best.

Yes indeed if the conditions where the trend gradually goes up, it will trigger the demand in the future, so according to my analysis in a few months the value of cryptocurrency will go up, that if there is no bad problem that impact on crypto, you know whales and anyone can create FUD.

I am not a great fan of number game so I won't comment any prediction with time or amount here but I believe that even though the market is floating around a certain range these days, it will soon start a bull run resulting in not only the recovery but also a fresh all-time high level before the next year. No doubt, institutional investors and big whales would join the rally again to exploit the upcoming opportunity.

I can't compare why you would end up speculating by the month of August and you jump off there from April.

But my point on this one, the strong for this month which is $8,000 has been broken and teared off to $7,500 which made many to be disappointed. The flow of the market is totally unpredictable but what I'm holding right now is what goes up should go down and what goes down should go up. ( I got this someone from FB).

I dont believe price will move to 20k again this year my reason is because money are being distributed to different coins or tokens because there are lots of good projects that was been released. The volume of Bitcoin is low compared last year and there are no major developments and Hard forks that can make prices up again. Like me i am not adding any more Bitcoin in my cold storage and i am just playing with other coins.

in my prediction there will be a bull market in the end of july then it towards to august.  just wait here sit back and relax and watch my prediction. the bull market is when all of cryptocurrency or tokens are being green inshort they increasing their value. people tend to know something when they read about it and they study about it

Wow it. really makes feel happy for the price about $20000.l want to wait that for big hope in my life that l will be rich through bitcoin. I'm really thankful for bitcoin because l find bitcoin in my life. It really makes sense of all km doing now. I can't imagine what God prepared for me and my family.

I can't believe that the price of bitcoin will rise to $20,000 by the end of August because of the continuous decline.

Of course, I'd like to believe the experts' predictions. I just hope the market recovers sooner.

I hope you are correct, I love to see Bitcoin going to $20,000 again. I know we will see this again but the question is this really going to happen at the end of August 2018. It  is really hard to know for sure that it is going to happen. Currently price is going down and prices may continue to go down. 

Maybe that target can happen and maybe not. We can make prediction on market but i think we can not make a precise prediction because crypto market movement very volatile. Hopely that target will happen because bitcoin suffering for few months and i am believe many people want bitcoin price rising again

We can not accurately predicts this market and we might need to only work with the historical data that we have.  It is possible for us to be able to get to$20,000 by August as we cannot really tell what the future hold for us.

Bitcoin price will increase but August 2018 is too early, although many people speculated that price will go past $20k but at this moment it seems difficult to me. In 2018, i think price will fluctuate around $8k to $13k. 

But there is no steady growth happening with bitcoin price so we can't expect this to be hapoen by end of August but anything is possible with crypto even it cam reaches that price in few weeks too if something miracle hapoenes like crazy run at 2017 whatever maybe you have to hold your cryoto currency sure it will reach new ATH by near future.

This was posted whilst the market was in an uptrend and had just peaked

It's now in a downtrend again but if it manages to avoid plummeting too low it may recover to this level in Q3 else it would be more likely to occur later in the year if conditions are favorable

I think 20k USD is pushing it for 3 months. I would say that in 3 months time we wil see a steady increase in price of all crypto currencies then a strong rise by the fourth quarter. I'm no stock market analyst or even a crypto currency analyst but i would say by trend i see we wil see BTC hit 10k USD by August maybe 20k USD by the end if the year.

A lot of people expect to return to 20k $. At the moment bitcoin is struggling to exceed 10K $. And as you can see it is not easy and the current increase is not steady. I think that reaching such a high price again may take longer than August.

Looks like we have missed the current steady state which you were talking about earlier start of the second week this month. haha.

Current situation is like 50%-50% chance that we are going to grow in the near future. I mean bearish and bullish markets are really struggling these days and they are fighting each other to go one over another.

I think crypto currency needs some dozens of whales at this point who should pour large amount of money into the crypto to break the bearish trend.  :P

21 day passed since your post and the only change I see is a slight decrease in price. Even though a fork until 20K is possible, but it is very improbable.

I also think bitcoin can't really reach $20k level on August not unless we heard a strong news that can really boost the whole market of cryptocurrency. I'll be more patient this time because I know bitcoin will be back but its really need more time so we can see a strong bull market again, I hope it will happen in December 2018.

It is hard for bitcoin to hit $20000 by the end of August. I think that at the end of this year sounds more reasonable. Bitcoin needs at least a year to recover what it had lost in the beginning of this year. Bitcoin is good but I think it is hard for it to grow in this year

Closer to the autumn, cryptocurrencies start to grow. It is not known how big this growth will be. I'm also inclined to think that in the autumn bitcoin will cost $20.000, and by the end of the year $50.000

indeed since you make this thread the price looks stable and like will be able to reach $ 20,000 at the end of the year. but, look at the price chart now dude, the price looks very monotonous, does not show to go up. from a few days ago prices have decreased a few percent and the decline is still going to happen, the market is still in the shadow of the downtrend, the end of the year it seems we will not see the price in the figure $ 20,000 but we will see the price below it. we'll see later, the market just needs to keep pumping prices and get the good news to reverse all the circumstances right now.

I agree, it's a little bit difficult to predict that bitcoin will reach $20k on August, in the past months, we can see that bitcoin is struggling to reach the $10k mark. $20k is too much, maybe on August it will reach $10k, and if there's a steady growth of price, it may reach the $20k dollar in the end of the year, it might go much than that if the growth becomes steady.

No steady growth? From last year November to where we are right now, the bottom development indicates very steady growth.

November 2017 bottom ~$5500
February 2018 bottom ~$6000
April 2018 Bottom ~$6400

And currently we're about to set another bottom. If that isn't the default definition of steady growth, then I don't know what is. Stop focusing on peaks, they only mirror hype/greed/speculation. Eventually the market will smash through $100,000 as well, it's just a matter of time. People need to stop expecting insane returns in a market that has no incentive and justification to moon any time soon. It's just a matter of logical thinking.

We aren't done with the sub $10,000 bottoms this year, accept it.

I see you posted on May 6. Its May 25, and the market goes down badly. I'd like to know if you still believe that by August Bitcoin can hit $20k or more? Really can't see that dream but by end of the year that might happen.
 

The price of 20k$ for bitcoin, we can see only by the end of the year, or only in the next. Now we are deliberately lowered to the bottom. The main thing is not to lose your investments in this troubled time, whales will shake us to the last satoshi.

I hope so, but it's unlikely. The upward trend will continue, and hopefully regulations don't impact it negatively. Probably before the end of the year though.

Right now it doesn't feel like it, but the sentiment of the market could change at a moments notice. I don't know whether or not the run up will happen prior to August but I would confidently bet we surpass 20k by years end.

I'll extend the month of August up to the end of the year. Not assuming that much for now but everything can change when December is approaching.
The same thoughts.  ;)

Throw a random strange opinion , weak analysis ... Sigh everyone seems so mad.
Even with a strong rumors when the big whales say no then the recovery won't happened. We need some real actions such as a massive adoption that drives people interested to buy more and more Bitcoin , and that wasn't an easy task , can't be done in short period like months , it takes years.

But after that last 3 weeks price rapidly drops so whats this scenario means?

Common man dont you get tired of this speculations?lets face the reality that market has beeing manipulated and what we need is wait when will they pump the price for us to profit,and when they dump for us to save the losses.

Untill this big player stop this,all we do is focus and be alert

Where do only people take these figures? You can not predict even a week's fluctuation of the course, but I constantly come across half-yearly assumptions. You can talk about either the current situation or the long term, I think.

This is bitcoin.all the assumptions are wrong.all the assumptions are right.but just assumptions.
İt will go up.yes it will.
İt will go down.yes it will.
But if you are predicting numbers and price you will be proven probably wrong or only very lucky.
We can't even predict what will happen tomorrow.
According to some people bitcoin would be 12000 dil kars and above by now.

we can expect aug to be the turning point for bitcoin to touch 20 thousand dollars after bitcoin completing bearish mode we can expect bull mode thereafter the long run of bear mode after touching all-time high

I think that even 20000 by the end of the year is still too much, unless the developers give to us a big announcement that creates hype all over the market I really do not see us reaching that price that soon, I really think that we are not going to see that price probably until the next year and it's even possible that we do not see it until the year after that one, that is why I am preparing to hold my coins for as long as I can.

Many projects will be launched in June, and the main link will be an opportunity!

Maybe a little orgasm!

In particular, EOS, ending the one-year crowdfunding period, what impact will it bring to ETH?

Allmost all coin/token right now drop the price. Hope that prediction happen because its really bad to see market drop. But i am optimistic that cryptomarket will reach trillion dollar market cap because investment firm start to interesting on crypto

let it rain. if this is going to happen, there will be rain, raining money. it will be good for all bitcoin investors. it will be good for us all. this is what all of us all are waiting for.

 If we look back on the trading market preview on the price of Bitcoin, we see the ups and down of the price, market is volatile, no one can predict the volume of trading at any given time. It will be a great news once the 20k price value of Bitcoin hit this, all investors will be flying high with possible profits gain from Bitcoin investment, Bitcoin remain stable,  with good fundamentals and the growing interest of new investor is add on to the level of confidence for the Bitcoin project investment. let just keep our fingers crossed, and hope for the new investor with huge investment for Bitcoin project soon.

Well i really doubt it to happen because Bitcoin is in dip again in which it is barely to reach the $10,000 price value then how much more for the $20,000 mark? If there is specific details on how this prediction of August will happen or if the big whales will going to involve then maybe that predictions of them will surely to come true.

It really a great news with the solid fundamentals of Bitcoin in the market that make it to the top among the crypto currency , yes, the price value it may goes down and goes ups during the trading at any given time, still, Bitcoin remains the favorable coin in the market. the growing market acceptance globally of Bitcoin help build more confidence on the possible new investor who are just waiting for the right timing before they get in into the investment project on Bitcoin. I see no reason that Bitcoin price will go up and up for the coming days. looking forward to hit the price value of 20k/Bitcoin in the future.

of course this will be a new encouragement for everyone, we hope the good news will come soon. and will occur in bitcoins with a high value in the future.

I am not sure what has got you thinking that there is stable growth thats going on. What I am seeing is big ups and downs in the crypto currency market and recently it has got even worst when the crypto has got dumped itself below the red line. I mean BTC is what I am more concerned about as it went down below the 8K USD which was supposed to be its support line. However this all has got very risky now and it could happen hat crypto might just fall down to 6K USD which would lowest of all time this year. We need bigger support walls to see that 20K USD up surge.

Funny thing, we all thought that it would be steady growth, but now we faced another fall :) Bitcoin is so great and unpredictable!

FUDs have no doubt only one purpose and that is to hurt bitcoin but as far as whales are concerned, they are like guard dogs of Crypto King. It would have been very difficult for bitcoin to survive without the help of big investors. The recent boost of 20k dollars also happened due to these pals as they not only they embraced bitcoin but force huge number of people to do so and guess what, nobody was disappointed by performance of BTC.

The month of August is a great hope for the crypto investors and holders because the history says that in this very month, the prices do skyrocket. People are having very high hopes this time as well. Indeed the market is very stable at the moment, no significant fluctuations are observed at the moment. I have great hopes with my bitcoin to at least touch 18,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars, only then it could set new record in December.

With all speculations going on both sides for bitcoin, both  parties have a good reasoning as to which bitcoin will go, whether it will go up, that's due to regulations, wider acceptance, a lot of innovations and whether it will go down, due to it being a volatile investment, that no one could predict what will happen, that the timd span is too short, all of them are valid arguments, but one thing is for sure, though the rise will be slower this time, bitcoin will hit a new ATH, let's just not rush in, thinking that after anfew months will be richer, investing in bitcoin is not an easy way to make money, try also investing in other coins, therr are a lot of altcoins out there that has a huge potential for growth, I am saying this because there is still the issue Mt. Gox, releasing bitcoins, thus decreasing the value.

Well i believe that the first quarter is the crisis. Second quarter is more for recovery, third quarter would be for stabilization and the last quarter is for breaking records and really raising up the price in the market. But 20k USD on August would be a long shot. Optimistically, i would say 10k USD, but that is really pushing it.

Nah, nothing to worry of this another fall because apparently this fall will bring sooner a profit that every holders deserve.

20k in August is a little bit too far from the current situation and market will undergo more correction before we reach another new ath and that will surely happen before the year end. Just imagine what happened last year and be calm.

Definitely the course of the summer will grow, it is a pattern, subject to statistics! I hope that bitcoin will surpass its last year's results and will please us again and again!  8)

The price of bitcoin is moved to 7000$ range .This is good time to inverse in bitcoin.If the price is reached 10,000$,we will huge profit.I had believe the price of bitcoin will reach 20,000$ by the end of August.

we can see that from the date this thread have been posted up to this date, the price of bitcoin hits downward, a big fall has occured in such a short span, we definitely cannot say or predict the future price of bitcoin because once again it proved us that it is unstable and still unpredictable, we cannot based our speculation in just a single date.

we all know that the market is always volatile now so we need to be patient even the price is slowly going up but we will get there. All if we hope that bitcoin will reach the price of 20k but not in the shortest time

It is somewhat unseemingly to precede the future, but as for bitcoin investor, we are all waiting for that major price pump. And perhaps what fuels our positive forecast on bitcoin 's price is the previous and identical periodical price movement of bitcoin each and every year. Its a successful year for bitcoin last year. And looking back then, is a sigh of relief for those who are waiting for bitcoin to recover from this year's slump.

what growth?maybe what you mean is falling?lol

Week after you made this post bitcoin and more of the altcoins suddenly drops again and until now it continuously drowning..and about your speculation?it will not happen if this bearish dont stop.and the thread is same as what happening since February price just pump and dunp

Stupid speculation. As what I can see, the price will keep on going downtrend because the money makers are using their influence for such thing to happen. They want to buy bitcoin cheap.

I do not think if big growth will happen in August, maybe it just happened next year because there are many obstacles from bitcoin to grow at $ 20k.

Positive thinking is okay but not too much, the bitcoin price increase to 20k at the end of August is too fast, and I think bitcoin can not reach it yet.

If the price growth has begun - this does not mean that it will be continuous. On how much bitcoin will cost in August, no one can answer.

I believe that the price of bitcoins will grow even more at december just the same last year and that is the reason why everyone is keep on holding of their coins and they are not planing to switch into altcoins so keep on investing today in order to earn more profit.

Could have been that way but sadly, as what we can all see today and in the past days, the price has been falling again and looks like we are on a bearish season again for the second time in this year. But I am really not that worried. I think that in the coming weeks, the prices will bounce back and increase steadily later on.

The issue with Mt. Gox is huge they have a huge amount of coins and they are waiting until later to sell the coins, many think the main reason of why the price went down was because of them and I really think that most of the smart investors know that the price will go down once again when they begin to sell again so if anything we may see new lows by the end of the year.

And where is this slow steady growth now? On the spot we stand and hesitate a little up, a little down.... When will the market come to life??

If I’m right they said that the price will rise to $15000 as of April, but that didn’t happened, rather it got to $10,000 and dropped down from that point. Recently, I saw another prediction that it will go down to $2000 and just last week it started dropping and has dropped down to $7,500+. I just hope this one is a better prediction and that it goes up to $20k before the month August. Well, even if it doesn’t, I believe that it will before the end of this year.

Yes, you’re right man. The price for Bitcoin is unpredictable, but sometimes experts do make close to accurate predictions. Just like on April I saw a prediction that the price will go up to $15,000 and it got from $7000 to $9000, $10,000 even before dropping down back to $7,500+.And this post states that the price will be going up to $20k in August, believe me there will be a little accuracy in this. I’m sure of that, they’re always 50% correct.

It only shows that whatever Analysis we are going to make to predict the price movement, it won't necessary go that route as most of the time no amount of TA can really point the correct price path of bitcoin. The growth that we experienced (closed to $10K) was quickly wipeout in matter of days and its plunges even more below $8K and even touches as low as $7100 during the crisis. Why not just enjoy the ride till December and see how will it end up. And also don't put too much expectations as it might not happened.

Its normal if the price might somehow decrease but still it was also a good news because you can invest a huge amount and wait for the price to grow in order to earn more profit when the market goes back to its normal price.

This is good. I think the response was very positive. Where bitcoin prices in 2018 will continue to grow and increase, the economy is strong, and people will be happy.

Slow and steady does not mean that it will reach those figures in a very short period of time, people here wanted to make profit in a very short period of time and it is funny to see that everyone here considers a couple of months a long period which is really absurd, there is no way that the price of bitcoin reaches another all time high this year let alone this August.

Yes having a steady growth for bitcoin may be a good sign but i don't think that bitcoin will be able to reach the price of $20k by the end of August.I think we are all aware that it's making a hard part in reaching $10k in the previous months and up to now we are still in dips.Maybe before this year ends $20k will be possible to reach.

I think it is quite possible. Most likely the price by the end of the year will be much higher than$20,000. I think now everything is slowly building up positions. PS. But it is not accurate!

Yes.It could be possible by the end of this year but when you say by the end of august,i think it's really impossible to reach since the market right now is still bloody because the price continuous to fall.Hopefully the price will recover soon and will reach new peaks again before this year ends.

in my opinion can not be predicted with definite growth of bitcoin in quartal 3. may actually happen in quartal 4 this year

The price of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency is very difficult to predict, but I am sure that in August Bitcoin prices will rise high, and all Bitcoin investors will get huge profits this month. if August has not reached the peak, December will be the peak of Bitcoin price increase.

In this volatile kind of investment, anything can happen. Like it would grow up to $20k or maybe fall even harder. We don't know yet what it would be, so let's just be observant to the market and hope for the best.

It can be grow for over 20K dollars but it will never become steady. The market is volatile, it is easy to rise up and goes to the floor but it is hard to have a stability around cryptocurrency. News are being exhausted when time goes by and it may result for the changes of the price.

Unfortunately, recently bitcoin again behaves unstably and unpredictably. Perhaps, its price was again affected by various bad news, such as hacking exchanges and exchangers in South Korea, or other similar information. However, we see that bitcoin again fell significantly in value. Maybe the last time before the rise, or maybe not.

Keep in tight with your bitcoin holdings because the bull run is yet to come and i think that in the month of august, the price of bitcoin will finally move more than $12,000 but the $20,000 price mark is not that possible as of now and we can see that target price market maybe at the end of the year because that is the pattern for bitcoin for having a huge pump.

We are nearly the end of the second quarter and as of this posting, the current price of bitcoin is $6783.13. As far as I can see from the trend, the rise In the price is only minimal. Though there are many speculations that come third quarter is the bull run, but I guess before the year ends, the value will not be nearing $ 20k. In my speculation it will just be $10k.

Well, its really hard to predict when the price is going high and low. Last months the price is really low and now it is starting to increase the bitcoin price. So let's enjoy the volatility of bitcoin price because it gives us opportunity when its in the downfall because we can buy bitcoin and invest in that moment and much opportunity when the price goes high because we can sell our bitcoin in a higher price.

My thoughts regarding that matter, yes bitcoin will catch the 20k price this coming August. Take time to wait patiently to have good earnings when getting back to that price. Definitely now is not the right time to sell but the right time to buy.

it is still hard to predict, yesterday the price pumped but today it started to plunge again, still it is too volatile, more encouraging to panic sell after looking to the graphs, just grab the opportune time to sell, making most of this highly volatile price. one wrong move will ruin your portfolios.

I doubt if this is going to happen and we should know that bitcoin is more of the bearish market now.  Few people are interested in investing in cryptocurrencies now and from now till August we may not have more change that will make bitcoin above $20,000. I think you should still have a research on the market again in other to makes an inform decision.

Yes, the market may be volatile, but realistically, with the way things are going, I am not seeing the possibility of $20k by the end of the year, let alone August. We cannot expect a quick FOMO just like we had it last year as there is so much uncertainty in the market right now and a lot of people are trying to be very smart in playing their cards well which I believe it is the reason for the low volume in the market. We are in a bear trend and how long that will last is unknown, but for now, we just have to wait and see how it all ends.

It does not really matter if the price today is slowly increasing because most of the crypto analyst expert is already expect for the price of bitcoins to surpass $20k dollar so do not stop on holding your coins.

This steady growth might eventually reach $20000 but I doubt this will happen by the end of August. There have been so many predictions concerning the price of bitcoin since the beginning of the year and all of them have failed us. It would be unwise of us to cast our hopes on this prediction so as not to get disappointed.

I am not sure how much this prediction will be go bigger in the market mate. Whatever happen we can wait for some months and expect the actual growth in the market mate. Personal expectation on bitcoin is to reach the 20k USD in November to December month mate.

Then as a subject line says this is not the steady growth bro. I really want the price to go up but here and there fluctuations in really firing the investors all the time.

Thats too sudden man, I dont think it will reach that much prices in such short period of time. That's really too sudden, because getting those hikes will be like getting 3-5x more capitalism than what we have currently. And that is surely impossible currently because we are diving in the darkness, many hacks going on around the world and thats pulling back the market really hard. Unless and until these things dont stop we will never get to see that kind of sunrise! Also $20K price was not even real one, it was merely overvalued bitcoin.

this uptrend of bitcoin, have steady but sure it does, but really hard to predict it with any large of event in bad and good, but i guess the uptrend will going soo

Indeed. Usually after this many predictions you would expect at least a small percentage to be right, but even that isn't the case. It all comes down to how unrealistic people's predictions are. Most of the predictions are based on how the market increased last year, but we're not in that cycle anymore -- the price has to go up without hype. I really like the stability of the market because of how it gives people more incentive to spend their coins. If you know that the market isn't bouncing up and down like it used to do, the barrier preventing people from spending becomes less of an obstacle. It definitely helps merchants not directly liquidating all their sales in Bitcoin.

For me it's hard to say but if the price will continue like this slowly but increasing I think its a good sign that the price go up but not totally your thinking because crypto market is always volatile. So we don't have any assurance for now but still hoping.

i think surely it can, if we are looking the chart is like same like before so maybe the uptrend can going in the middle of the next season term

I think that this whole year will be bearish. The price of bitcoin will not grow until the spring of 2019. The cryptocurrency market needs a big reboot, and 6-8 months is a very short time.

I have some  doubt in my mind. I think bitcoin will not reach its all time high this year. Bitcoins value is so unstable right now and it will continue until next year.

No this year will not be bearish. The market is now much better and it can be better more if we support it more. If we will hold our coins and will not throw our coins at each news then the market will be much better and the price will continue to increase like that which we are seeing nowadays. You know today even after the hack of bithumb the price sis not dropped but it remain much better and is now rising.

Sorry for for my late reaction message because now its almost august 2018 Updated 06-22-2018 the price now is 6,446USD I think your suggestion become $20K this August 2048? I think it is not reachable because almost 4 moths the price is still in a level price of 6 to 7 USD. so we just monitored what is the development after a few months.

The probability is always their, Bitcoin remain stable even the ups and down of the price value during the market trading of this past weeks, the fundamentals are strong, level of confidence of investors are going strong, volume of investment is increasing everyday, Bitcoin is gaining momentum, Still among the top of all the crypto currency coins posted, I am looking forward for the possible bull run in the near future once Bitcoin able to break the resistance on the market trading.

Maybe August 2019
That kind of rally like was year ago is impossible now
Price of bitcoin is manipulated through futures trading
There is simply no money on market
Alts market it is pure tragedy volume is so small

If the trend of slow and steady growth, which was in early May, persisted, then one would expect a good and stable growth of bitcoin. However, unfortunately, its dynamics of growth again changed, it stopped growing and again fell to its minimum level in the region of 6600-6700 dollars. And it is already as if frozen and is without noticeable movement. For his usual behavior, this is very strange. In any case, our hopes for its good growth have so far collapsed.

I still have confidence that 20k will mark on bitcoin charts in the future. The chances are always there but maybe not this coming august, not this year end or lets say not in a short term. In such case to reach we need more group of big capitalist and not just retail traders. Yet as we know the loss involved by hard correction today on people who bought at the peak this late 2017 are undeniable. So I say the risk of investment turned into money that should have flow on bitcoin system will still less this year.

Who is this expert that there will be a growth on August? Time really flies so fast and we're now near to the end of the month and this makes 2 more months about the said month.

I'm not confident and I don't want to be confident to say that bitcoin will be back on $20,000 by August but if its about the end of the year, maybe it can be more realistic.

Its natural cause we all know that bitcoin actually has a routine every year. Bitcoin is dup bitcoin is pump. Its beetween the two but when you look at the graph in the first quarter of the year and the second. Bitcoin is dump and when the last quarter of the year bitcoin will rise up again

Sure hope so, however many analysts are predicting another dip to the 4k range before we head up. It is just analysis based on the recent bounces. I would love to believe you are right but rather be prepared for both scenarios right? Things looking good after the last rack dips but there is always calm before the storm.

Hopefully Bitcoins maintains the rhythm and direction it’s on. Itks what a lot of us here are
hoping for, we rely and depend in Bitcoins do much that what price it ends up will affect our
investments and future profits. Current prices of BTC isn’t looking too good to support a
steady growth that might get Bitcoins to reach $20k by the last weeks of August.

nope we know that bitcoin market is very easy to change only with the news and speculation, the proof of the decline in prices that occurred a few months ago, if we can change the trend, we can reach that price this year, all we have to do is make speculation and positive news about bitcoin , such as legalization, it will make a shock the market

Yes exactly, In todays market , we can see the change of price in the market if it is slow moving or not, still at the end of this year 2018 bitcoin price will rise in its appropriate value.

At this stage that we are, nothing is definitely predictable. Market is much in a downtrend, even some financial analysts are beginning to reduce what they have stated at the end of the year pretty fast, and there we are trying to find the bottom. We do not know how far the market will go down or how long we will keep seeing the growth this way, but one thing for sure is that one way or the other, we may not actually get to that stage by August.

As per many people's prediction and speculations, we may get struck within $20k in this full year. But I am expecting a  new ATH within this year's December month. Lets wait and watch what this market may bring to all of us.

Today bitcoin prices are falling. All our hopes may be extinguished. I do not think bitcoin prices could rise to $ 10,000 in August and 18,000 this year

August may be too soon to expect another bullish run for Bitcoin, but the possibility is there since we have already been there. The best option we can do to attain that price is to hodl and wait for it to be realized.

I believe that there are so many factors that can not be foreseen. Factors that can affect the value of the crypto currency, both in the direction of increasing the cost, and the decrease. As they say, "they buy on rumors, they sell on news".

if you look at the current conditions, it seems very difficult to reach $ 20k, even to reach $ 10k looks very difficult. it looks like the highest price this year is only up to $ 15k.

I think august is still not the time for the bitcoins to be back atbthe 20k value. It is not that I do not want them to be in that price of course I wanted to but that is nearly imposible for me because the price of the bitcoins today are not uet in the half if the 20k price so how they can manage to rise up eith that piint of time knwokg that they are having a hard time this months. But we dont know maybe things happen so lets just all hope for the best but do not always expect for something

Stable growth has made the price of bitcoin once again reach a peak of $ 20,000 as what 2017 has achieved that is what we always aspire to and also the goal of the group has set up bitcoin

No one can really tell when will the Bitcoin price would bounce back but specualtions would be a bit tricky as of this time and I am just hoping that it will be back as soon as possible. A lot of investors are now waiting for the opportunity or even wait for a new all time high very soon. One thing is for sure about the price of Bitcoin that it will be setting it's new ATH by the end of the year 2018.

Well I don’t think so we can say this dump and pump a routine for bitcoin. Last year, definitely we have seen such low prices throughout the first quarter of year but later on when prices start uprising in last quarter, they just went amazing. But this can’t be said as routine. Bitcoin has shown such enigma only in last year. We can’t make it routine as for routine, repetition must be for long time.

I think its no, because it will run 6,000 to 7000 USD it is so far from the target, we have 2 months left so definitely not may be 10k to 11k USD much better. I have strongly say that because everyday when I am at the office I will always monitored the price that's why I know whats the latest Price every now and then.

As far as I know about the technology, I can say that one can never tell about how much the price would be in a particular month. This is difficult and I thing we can only make a rough or a wise guess backed by research and knowledge. Without it, we can never quote an exact price in a specific month. As far as the doubt is concerned, so many people have the same doubt and are felling unhealthy about their portfolios but trust me this will end with a good sign.

Unfortunately, I disagree with you, because according to technical analysis Bitcoin could not recover until the end of this year. Furthermore it will drop to $3000 , may be even lower.

seems to be able to earn more than $ 20k in late August this will be very difficult because at this time the price of all cryptocurrency is not good does not have high volume so it will be difficult to get like that.

I agree with you! It's too hard for the bitcoin price to increase and reach the 20 000$ by the end of august, because now the market is crashing again and the price of bitcoin is too low, I don't think that the price will increase too much in august maybe we can see 10k$ or a bit more but not more than 15k$. I hope that I will be wrong and bitcoin will surprise and reach and expectable point.

One piece of advice – never rely much on these technical analysts or so (whatever you call them). Their predictions are not always 100% accurate, no one can predict the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies either. And I’m quite confused why people keep on trusting these technical analysts, I thought that the price of Bitcoin is determined by the rate of demand.

So how are you able to know when people will start investing? 🤔 You won’t know that 100%, though some signs can help you tell when the price might go up, but you can’t tell the exact price it will reach, it might just go from $6500 to $7000 and drop back again to $6500,lol, that’s still a rise😂. So nobody knows the price of Bitcoin, but you can actually predict if it will go up or down, but nobody is sure 100%.

At the moment, the market looks depressed, investors lack confidence, and the BTC is unlikely to rise to $20,000 by the end of August! Maybe $10,000 won't make it!
If there is no major good news, the market will slowly get through the downturn!

I really do not think you will be wrong, all the signs show that the bitcoin is collapsing vigorously and quickly, perhaps the miners and big investors in the market are coordinating, they are trying to force the market to a very low bottom, they want all the prey will sell Bitcoin with an extremely cheap price. This will continue until the market becomes desolate, the return at the end of August and reaching $20k is a scenario that can not come true, even 10k dollars was a milestone too big to overcome, the atmosphere is very bad and pessimistic

Yes look like difficult but not impossible, we have already seen good increase in bitcoin price in a sort time. Bitcoin price is currently trading low and its really difficult to that price will increase too much in next two months, but in future investors will show interest in bitcoin and therefore the demand will continue increasing and the price will hopefully reach to 20000$.

I am pretty sure we are not in the steady growth mode at all. The crypto currencies are actually stuck in the loop where they are just sinking down after little spikes. But that is not really beneficial and it will never help market to get recovered successfully. There is steady growth at all and if it has to be like that then new and old investors should make dozens of investment in the crypto so that they can lift it up in terms of market cap and values as well. So you see it yourself that market currently too much volatile and there is no way to recover it as long we dont bring more fortune in it.

You shouldn't discount the fact that new whales who wish to enter the market are not so willing to buy bitcoin at a high price so they are pretty motivated to drive the market down first and only then make a bulk buy. Also, If you take a look at bitcoin's price a year ago 2018's minimum of $5900 is still 2.5 times higher than $2700 what it was in June 2017.

I expect bitcoin price will reach 20k dollars in the month of july or august and I hope that really happen.  But need to buy more bitcoin because the price of the bitcoin decrease very deep and now price is 5900 dollars and this is not good to us who want to earn more profit.

I'm not sure about the price of 20K, but I think 15K bitcoin can definitely reach. Will then be rolled back up to 12K and then can be flat between 12-16K

I am not sure that Bitcoin will grow so much. I guess the largest hype around this cryptocurrency has come to its end, and BTC will hardly reach 20K this year.

Unfortunately, based on the specific price situation with bitcoin, the forecasts are becoming more pessimistic. Now it is unlikely that anyone will say that by the end of August bitcoin will cost $ 20,000. Now, in general, it is hardly possible to predict and justify the price of bitcoin for the next period. In the near future, bitcoin may drop to $ 3,000, or may rise to $ 10,000 - $ 15,000. We do not know all the behind-the-scenes games that lead whales behind our backs.

it sure the upstream will going, but the matter fact to many bad happen for bitcoin and too much suffer right now, in the time i think it sure will going maybe after the august in the end of the season i think

I agree, threads like this one are pure speculation and nothing else. No one can tell when BTC will start growing again and no one can tell when we can expect a new ATH. In the long run tho, I know that Bitcoin will continue to grow because the blockchain technology has lots of potential and people are far from quitting crypto. Let's not forget the market volatility as well...it's a game of whales and all we need to do is to have patience and BUY THE F**KING DIP  ;D

I think if it is true that it is a good time to buy as much bitcoin, but most people still doubt with such predictions because what they see bitcoin really goes down very far at this time.

For me price of bitcoin could hit only like 15k$ in this year, the end of 2018 will be good for crypto but i do not think that coins will made their ath in this year, that are only my thoughts.

No, I know that some people are desperate and want to get their money back and this is something I can understand but most of the people that are now very sad about what it is happening did not really had any kind of plan of what to do if things did not go according to plan, while I am not a great investor I'm not worried since I do not have any kind of problem waiting for the price of bitcoin to recover.

If the predictions may true this is good for us users who have bitcoin. This drops of price our chance to have some btc if this predictions may meet this year end. The more demands it has price will increase hopefully.

I think, it's hard time to say, what will happen with bitcoin's price in future, from one side, everyone saying that market waiting on huge investors, what will boost the price and from other side, people say that hype around bitcoin is dead and all this depression on market,  will down price to ~2500$.

I do not really believe in the market will increase again in August. Perhaps by 2019, the new market will come to a boom and boom, with the BTC raising the price to $ 20,000 is unlikely, now electronic money has many governments have embedded as the United States. It is a big country and they can make e-money less volatile.

The highest I hear and believe bitcoin can reach this year is 10,000$. There are a lot of factors that ain't allowing the bull run of bitcoin. Part of factors that has impeded the growth of the bitcoin are; which is the knowledge of bitcoin around us and fright of same by those who claim to be hodlers.

we hope the same with other people, after much analist says that bitcoin will drop much people sell their bitcoin to take profit and rebuy in dip.and now i think cheapest price at this moment before it will hit $20k again.

In the condition market right now, its hard to predict that price on august. But i do believe that on end this year, bitcoin will reach highest price again. Market condition right is too much negative news and triggering peoples to sell their coin

The growth trend did not maintain. And there's no such thing as a crypto market expert. One will say it's going grow here, another will say it's going to drop here. And the only thing that makes them expert is that by chance by the laws of percentage something they said happened by luck.

You are right. we are too long in a bad position in the market. so there are fears and traumas that are still in the hearts of every investor. but this will disappear by itself if the market continues to experience more price increases. over time and steady growth that continues to occur. user confidence will re-grow

Probably almost all bitcoin holders want it. All agree. Bitcoin will rise high the price .. That's what you wait for waiting all expect it. Bitcoin always gives a special surprise.

the current crypto market has not been stable and still many price drops occurred in this month. many lost money due to crypto for getting information that crypto will recover when the market is not yet stable. I just wait when the market really recovered due to bad news about crypto.

I see the 2017 scenario repeated this year. Bitcoin prices are falling sharply and it will explode later this year. I predict in October the bitcoin price will be 30,000 usd and the ETH price will be 3500 usd.

Because of that, i think that the price of bitcoin will not reach the $20,000 price before the end of august and i think that it will need more months and the price of $20,000 will be reached maybe after this year and in the mid year of 2019. The price of bitcoin is very dump and i think that it will take a lot of time before it recovers.

Bitcoin will never see 20k again.  Never

I think August is the peak decline in the price of crypto like last year. and in August it's a good idea to buy crypto at a cheap price and sell it at the end of this year or early this as my prediction.

August is too close a deadline for that, probably end of this year or middle next year. Btc is still consolidating and with the new wave of uncertainty around. Once the air of uncertainty is cleared, then it's achievable, not before

You see how easy it is to predict something and it would not happen here at cryptocurrencies world, the same way we can predict long-term down trend, and it would turn out with a great blossom soon.

I don't think that anybody can be sure 100 % what will happen with btc price in August.
To many factors are involved here, like negative news, rumors, legal issues in many countries etc.
I really hope that btc price will be $20 k by the end of August but I think that end of year is more realistic goal.
Currently, btc price is going down already a few months and I don't think that this trend will change quickly.

That was do to the forks of Bitcoin cash. Is there another fork for August? Can't just go by, "On the 31st of last year Bitcoin rose by this much, so the 31st of this year Bitcoin will rise."

People have been twice, three times, four times burned. So I don't think it will raise this fast so soon.

In recent years, the war of negative speculation and the positive speculation, which is rampant today has caused a drop in overall cryptocurrency prices. Surprisingly in the first quarter and the second quarter, for the first time fewer people are interested in buying bitcoins. To regenerate the value of bitcoin the solution is it needs more people who adopt this technology to make it more valuable.

Yes that is right to say but still i think that people have become familare with bitcoin and now they know the its nature too much, therefore they have removed any fear from their heart, and now they are trying their best to hold bitcoin as much as they can, because they know that very soon they will see bitcoin price trading too much high.

In my own opinion, it will take more time before bitcoins could reach $20k dollars this year but there is a chance for the price of bitcoins to grow and surpass $10k dollars before the month hits august.

it will happen slow and steady at first, the g20 UN regs are being presented in july and then the standard stock strat of sellin may stay away, so later in the fall large firms will probably roll back into the market.

By the end of august? Impossible! That month bitcoin price are just starting to recover the price. Usually bitcoin price will getting higher at the Ber months.

While it is obvious we would like a fast recovery the ones that are the most desperate to see a recovery are those that invested in December, I do not have a lot of bitcoin but even the current prices are fine by me so I do not really have any kind of need the prices improve immediately, even if this bear market lasted for several years I know I can hold long enough to see the next bull market.

This is a decentralized market and we all know how things have been so far for a while now and most especially after the FOMO rush last year which was uncalled for. This is the after math which we actually do not know the rate at which the market is really going to be affected for now and the only thing we can hope for is to see a recovery soon, but as we keep lingering on to the way down, I am not expecting any miracle before the end of the year.

As of now, bitcoin had failed to hold up the much expected $6000 levels and trading right now around $5800 levels. First we need to stop further fall down before thinking about up trend moving. I am expecting bitcoin to test again $10k levels in this July if that happens then we may think about $20k in August.
