Is it practical to expect tenfold  jump in Bitcoin this year ? It has happened in past but is it practical to expect it this year also ?

I doubt it will happen this year, even if etf would be approved, i think 80 000 dollars is a bit of stretch to reach. However, it can be done in the next four years i think. Slow and patient wins this game!

Quick ten-fold increases have happened only 5 times: twice in 2011, twice in 2013, and once in 2017. It is not a frequent event, so it is not practical to expect it to happen this year. However, if you believe that the adoption of Bitcoin will continue as it has so far, it would be reasonable to expect a ten-fold increase again in the future.

No it's not practical.Having a market cap of about 1,5 trillion $ is clearly not realistic,not in the near future anyways.My guess is,after 2018,the bad year that Bitcoin faced the price will from now one rise slowly but surely,building up back the lost trust of investors slowly.

Of course not u cannot expect this :P well if the price wasn't dumped that down in the past there could have been some hope but right now even the recovery seems a bit hard on Bitcoins.
I do think that even a double will be very beneficial for Bitcoins and also

The 10 times 2 is 20 , difference is of 19 but
10 times 20 is 200 , difference is of 180

Therefore higher the value harder it is to attain unexpected amounts.

The price of Bitcoin is unpredictable. Last year, everyone was surprised when the price of bitcoin increased 20 times compared to the beginning of the year. We should calm down and wait from now until the end of the year. I think 60% Bitcoin will increase ten times at the end of the year

This is ridiculous. Bitcoin prices will never be able to rise to $ 80,000 this year. Bitcoin is currently experiencing a lot of difficulties because many countries are still banned from Bitcoin. I guess that in 10 years the new Bitcoin price could rise to $ 80,000

Actually, this target seems achievable if we see the last year performance. But the comments here suggest that this will not happen now. It  is mainly because of the disappointing performance of crypto this year. There are additional problems that can prevent huge increase in bitcoin price. Like we have other alt coins becoming popular and thus some are preferring this.

I is not practical to expect in this market as you can often get disappointed, also take price predictions with a grain of salt you can just make a reference from them and make your own predictions. In the end this market is very volatile so making your decisions carefully is a must along with having a good outcome scenario and the worst case scenario every time something happens in the market trend.

This will never come true. Some experts have predicted that Bitcoin's price could only rise to $ 30,000 by the end of the year, but when I analyzed the Bitcoin price chart, I only saw that prices would rise sharply at the end of the year and the highest price that Bitcoin achieved this year is $ 15,000

It's okay to expect but don't get your expectation too high you might end up regretting to your previous decisions. The market is really not that stable to even notice a good a bit movement from small to a big one.

Expecting it is just a sign of having a positive mind and being optimistic about our plans for the future. It is stil possible for those who hope for the best. As for me, it is important that we all know how to see things in a positive way specially our hodlings and profit.

Just don't expect too much, it's okay to expect something high but to expect that it can happen again it might fail you and disappoint you.

We all want it to see but to expect again that high, is something that you must control. This is the reason why there are investors out there who are complaining due to the fact that they've lost their patience because of their high expectation.

Many speculators are expecting a tenfold jump this year. After the previous jump last December I don't think it's practical to expect another jump this year because $50-60k is a huge number even though we still have 5 months left before the year ends. There's still a chance for it to jump it depends on how the price would look like between September and October. For now I don't have high hopes for Bitcoin to even hit $20k this year after what happened last time.

It looks Like people still doubt what btc price can become even within one hour.The down trend and unstable market since January can be turned around even when the year is left with one week to end.We can even get more than ten folds of bitcoin ,because It has proven in several ways to have such potentials.

Speculation....Speculation....But with the growing attraction of Bitcoin from all over the news, it is dependent if this popularity will transform into investment for Bitcoin, then increase the Volume of investment ? Base on the market preview yes, it is true that Market is Volatile, anything can happen at any given time during the trading market. Let's just wait and see how the market reacts on a lot of media promotion for Bitcoin.

Well, I think that it is impossible but I do not assert anything it is just my opinion. I think that bitcoin will not perform such an incredible growth because there was no consolidation stage where "big money" accumulate and form their position. I consider that there are only 2 players who can force market grow sufficiently. I mean "big traders" and a crowd. "Big traders" have not collected thier positions yet as it seems for me and there is no huge hype around the crypto market in the current moment so lots of small investors, amateurs and others small participants (a crowd) are not going to buy. That is why I do not wait a huge growth in this year but I am a long term investor and I am sure that bitcoin will grow very significantly in the period of 1-3 years.

Such a price (around $80,000 per btc) is very unlikely to happen this year. I think it is unlikely to see this price even in two years horizon. There is a time of consolidation in the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin price will most probably not "wildly rise".

10x this year is a huge stretch.  The governments would have to come out and urge the populace to buy Bitcoin.  A fiat crash could also be the spark to lead to 80k this year but it is a big stretch. 

NO we should not expect things like that to happen because it will just make us get excited and in the end we really do not know what will happen in the next few weeks or months regarding with bitcoin market price. As we all know that the market price is being dictated by its demand. Whatever market price for bitcoin this coming year ending of 2018 will going to accept it.

I am sufficient pemisis for it but there is nothing impossible in this world, all possibilities can happen, even the worst possibility, no one can predict the future btc like what accurately, but hope it does exist though difficult if the price btc rising drastically tenfold in a short time, seeing now for a one-fold price increase I've been waiting for quite a while but not yet happened, hopefully later on there will be a miracle to make this happen, the market again improved

Tenfold, I doubt it. It might (fingers crossed) go to like 20k. 80k is a bit too much to expect right now. But a lot of people are expecting it to go way above last years price. I think Tom Lee said he believes BTC will reach a height of 25k. These are just assumptions. There is no telling what might happen.

It is not too likely to have such a rise two years in the row, but of course in crypto everything is possible, even though I would not put my bets on that.

With the growth of the BTC price, the demand for altcoins increased, which led to an outflow of money from bitcoin. I think that bitcoin price jumps will be every year to attract new money flows.

It is quite scary to expect seeing how the market is presently. But since it has happened before, we can't rule it out. I will say that we should be positive and hope for the best out come because it will favour everyone if it makes a ten fold jump.

In that case what other coins will you will suggest that can give that much returns ? I will prefer older coins also which have proved themselves for an year or more even if the returns are little less with them.

I doubt it. We would be lucky to see 15k. Maybe 10x on a 5 year horizon.

10 times? That will never happen unless there is some mysterious force behind the high bid bitcoin.

I also hope to be as you say, but follow me this year it x2 or 3 is enough for me.

So much growth this year can not be expected. Good growth will be by the end of the year. The idea for manipulators this time is completely different.

Practical? Doubtful Possible? Definitely.

No Not at all such unusual jumps in the prices of btc makes it look more and more like a bubble. Moreover, I don’t think so this will happen. I agree that Bitcoin has surprised its investors many times by distributing those huge profits but expecting a tenfold jump in just few months is something which is not a very casual event. Bitcoin has a huge potential and a great future, I think this can happen in few year like 2 or 3 but not in six months. Just be patient and have faith.

The history of coin rarely repeats it does not follow the process of scribes according to the principle. Which market it follows the actual fluctuations of the market. And indeed it has increased steadily, but as it was last year, it is unlikely that what people think of up to 20k is very unlikely.

no, I don't think it will.There are no prerequisites for this yet.The price will grow definitely but not that much.Although who knows, there are miracles in cryptocurrency 8) ;D.I want these miracles to come true.

There's no possible to make It fold ten times again these years because It has been done last year where occur In earl december. But too much expectation will brings you to fail, so If I were I sell my bitcoin funds with Its highest value In these year before the of these year 2018.

No, it is not practical to wait for such a huge growth in such a short amount of time, I know that we all want profits but we cannot get carried away with our predictions if the price is going to grow then it will grow but if it is not going to grow then we need to be mature and accept this and keep holding our coins and not sell at the first sight of problems like many people already did.

It is very normal and no need to worry about bitcoin, The current ups and down are because of the up coming 10th August, but I am sure that it will not effect the bitcoin price too much, I think that we should remain positive and hold our bitcoin, I am sure that bitcoin will give us a good profit but the only need it is to wait for some more time.

Bitcoin surprises people everytime but with a few months left , I believe ten folds is impossible. Just keep believing and holding though, no one knows the future.

Tenfold jump? I hope you understand that tenfold is more like saying ten times present value and by that, and at the current price, you are expecting something within the range of $60k to $80k this year? Come on!

Bitcoin could have bring about a huge surprise last year, but you also have to remember that last year was bull's year and we are pretty much in a bear year. I would technically tend towards being surprised to the downside than the upper side unless some news just fundamentally gets the market surging to the moon unexpectedly and even if that happens, tenfold before the end of this year does not sound to me like something reasonable. Maybe next year or 2020.

Yes, I meant 10 fold increase only. I know that expecting this performance is highly  optimistic but it has done better in previous years. I know $80k for a bitcoin may sound too much but it will happen one day for sure.

It needs a miracle now a we have only six months left and the first six months had been very bad in terms of bitcoin price growth.

I don't think it's feasible to expect that Bitcoin is going have any major bumps in price this or next year with the current market situation. Well not until the next Bitcoin halving in 2020 at least. It would be cool if we end the year at $10k and hopefully shoot for $20k by December 2019 before we go to the Moon in 2020 beating the last ATH by a significant margin. One can only hope  ;D

10 times, I think if for this year it is a mission that is impossible to achieve.
but I don't know by knowing the following year, I hopefully  :)

According to my observations, it seems very unlikely that the increase in Bitcoj prices will be greater than in previous years, at least in my opinion the highest price The amount will reach half the price compared to previous years, although it is not too sure but the possibility of exceeding the existing ones is still there,

I think that the increase in the price of bitcoin by the end of this year is ten times, this is not realistic. After such a difficult year, it would be good if he grew up to at least 20 000 - 25 000 dollars. The situation would have significantly softened if the lightning network had been successfully implemented in bitcoin and this allowed bitcoin to completely solve the problem with scalability and commission fees. Then bitcoin could still rise a little in the price. However, vseravno not ten times.

I gave up about this year already. The last year was unique in the history of crypto currencies and every month it stays less and less chances that this year is going to be the same successful. We may only hope for 2020 year, the year of halving.

It is not very likely. My mind is that BTC can increase by 3-5 times. Last year, the price of BTC has increased by many times and the market has been overdrawn.

I believe that cryptocurrency prices will go up this year but I don't want to expect too much like $80,000. I don't want to rely to much in a speculation that is far from happening. The market value of bitcoin and other crypto is very unpredictable anything can happen in a blink of an eye. And expectations sometimes leads us to frustration. There are many altcoins that have high potential and profitable than bitcoin because of the current market condition but expecting a $80,000 is a big lie but i still hope for the best.

Many analysts predict a big increase by the end of the year, but at the moment not everything looks so optimistic. The market stalled in its development. It seems to me that we will not see more than 14 thousand this year. Many factors now that hamper growth

Yes you are right, we can really expect tenfold jump increase of bitcoin price this year. To be more practical we can assumed same as last year experienced that bitcoin price was reached up to $19000 plus before year ends.

Predictably, Bitcoin prices are still falling, I still hope the end of 2018 will change. This news made me worry a lot.

I really doubt it will happen, not that I am pessimistic but judging from the chart, I don't see any power for bitcoin rise until tenfold, it will be great if bitcoin price could double this year, the market is not as good as last year,  alot of people losing money due to the huge correction, so this time the investors will be more careful

Expect, of course, possible, but this is unlikely to happen. Many are already inclined to think that this year should not expect a big rise in the crypto-currency market. I think that the maximum that can be expected from the bitcoine price by the end of this year, this price is 20 000 -25 000 dollars.

I have heard as many guys saying that after the confirming of EFT but can would jump so highly that everybody's bravest dreams and expectations would be overwhelmed and overthrown with the bitcoin price.

Its not practical at all. I dont think there will be tenfold jump than the current prices because it will take that much market too. Looking at the current scene I am pretty sure you will come to an agreement that how difficult it is for bitcoin to go even 10-20% up than what currently its rate is. Last week where everyone started to celebrate that bitcoin is jumping upwards and we are entering into bull run but soon that happiness come to an end and we are seeing worst of the bitcoin. I am sure no-one will believe on the fact that bitcoin is gonna take up tenfold jumps, at least not this year mate.

I really don't see the 10fold leap happening this year because of the dips experienced repeatedly and overtime this year. I am of the opinion that a very sure time when there will be a bullish run is when the altcoins begin the startup and full functioning of their projects.

I would say that 10x increase is a bit too much. I know it happened last year but that's one of the time where eople are still igpnorant of what cryptocurrency is. It's the time where people are unaware of the things that would make them lose money. Most money from the outside last year are investments without research. Now that Bitcoin has been slightly popularized, I think people have now enough experience on what they are going to do this year. I think Bitcoin's price would increase but not 10x.

I don't think it will be that possible or easy to attain a 10fold leap by the bitcoin this year. Making reference to the past is like saying the opposite movement is happening at the moment and the bitcoin price is really unpredictable.

Expecting alot will result of failing alot,and besides better transfer this to speculation section since thers no assurance for the answer to your questions

Bitcoin will keep this prices till end year,we will be lucky to take atleast $10,000 before new year.but the totality is still not sure for the recovery

Bitcoins price last year it was less than 1 K but later it has jumped up to 20K but now the market price is less than 7 k the market source is expecting in the bull run it will be higher than 10K. Bitcoin is a new form of economy with strong net work systems connected with the modern technology.If a bull run starts no body can predict it to what extend its price can reach ,whether it goes to 10 fold or more.

"The one who expects is the one who can get hurt the most" a quote from unrequited person.  ;D

If this is an anual event, then we could say to invest now while the iron is cold. But it will surely hit us back hard if this doesn't happen.

Sometimes expecting to much is not good especially in crypto market prices. Because every year price in crypto is not like before or sometimes the price will huge in unexpected time. So maybe we don't need a too much expectation.

If you are going to look at the current price of bitcoin comparing to past price of bitcoin we could see a different pattern in each scenario so we could conclude that it is not easy for us to just compare the price of bitcoin on the past price of it. It does not mean that in every month of a specific month there is a chance for bitcoin to pump or dump is better to analyze the price dpending on the current state of the market.

It happens only after protracted bear markets.

So the jump in 2013 was after a two year bear market from 2011 to 2013. The jump in 2017 came after a three year bear market from 2014 - 2017.

We have a lot of sideways movement to go before bitcoin gains the confidence to push for another big surge.

I would not count on that though because the market is so unpredictable right now. Not only that, it has high volatility that the price would go up or down quickly due to being influenced by the media. I don’t expect ten fold, but it may indeed spike a bit when “BER” month comes.

  Bitcoin  market is unpredictable, no one knows what will happen to the market movement, it is dependent to the investment of the investors on crypto currency in the market, the growing awareness on crypto currency market globally is a good indicators for the future market, price value may goes up and goes down but it will recover after the market glitz. Bitcoin has good fundamentals, with clear market structure, and Bitcoin remain number one among all the ALT coin.

No one can predict that but i wish this happen in this year, we have 4 months to wait. Hopefully this coming september altcoin will rise and many investor invest in cryptocurrency. For now you can buy altcoins cause the price is low, and if your right you have a lot earning if this happen.

In next four months probably enough time for achieving previous ATH and something around that (which may be higher or lower than previous ATH) but expecting ten fold from current levels sound really unrealistic.

By January 2015 bitcoin hit ~$180 levels (due to mtgox bankrupt) and by November 2017, it hit $19k+ levels. If you calculate in approximate it was 100 fold growth but took ~3 years of time. Bitcoin hit $1800 levels by February or March of 2017 (if I remember right) which was a 10 fold growth. It took 2 years of time. But that is the real and sustaining growth.

It means we need at least 12 to 24 months time for prices to get tenfold jump. But here we need to notice, calculations are taken from bottom levels to peak/ATH and not ATH to ATH. (Because previous ATH was ~last quarter of 2013).

I do not think that someone will undertake to approve the specific dates for achieving the BTC peak. Given the current situation on the market.

We have already a pattern by comparing the bitcoin price movement in the market and I think it repeatedly happened.
And most month bitcoin pumping up is in the month of December, so while now is dropping invest your money as much as you can because when bitcoin is in peak you could not jump in this current price.

As for me , that is not just being practical but also being hopeful and positive towards hodling. I belueve that it is important that we still expect for a certain time where we could have a better gain. It is also being based on crypto market itself so I think there is no harm in expecting for the best thing to happen anytime soon.

It all depends on the fundamentals. You can see that TA doesn't matter when the fundamentals are rushing in. This recent dump right after the ETF got delayed, even though the price was forming a bull flag on the charts serves as a proof. So whether we will go to ATH this year cannot be read from the charts. It would seem unlikely looking only at TA, because 8 months of bear market don't turn into an ATH right away, but a big news could change it. For instance if we got all ETFs approved and on top of that had a major retailer accept BTC directly 20k would break in a month.

There is less possibility of this happening in the first place because its not easy for bitcoin and rest of the market to recover itself in such fast possible ways. People do mistakes by predicting such high rates of bitcoin and make unwanted investment or investment that they cant afford to loose. So its better to unexpectedly do not think hikes as high as these ones. Im sure its last practical thing to think about. Neither bitcoin is making progress in that direction nor the whole market cap is looking so good at the moment.

Exactly why it won't be able to raise so quickly. When the market cap of bitcoin was in the hundreds of thousands or millions, a tenfold jump was nothing. But now, there would have to be a ton of money dumped into it for it to rise at that rate.


ETF's might cause some money to come in, but not to the tune of several billion dollars. They're just not that appealing. And there's already been a major move by Starbucks and a few other giants, but nothing happened. Bitcoin is establishing itself in the market. It's carving out a comfortable resting area.

In my own opinion, yes you can jump in bitcoins today because the price is still low so you can earn more profit before the year ends because there are a lot of speculations who are expecting for the price of bitcoins to reach $50k dollars.

That is what most of the expert says that Bitcoin price will pump a lot before end of year but who knows, price simply pump with a good news and new big investors without them price just dropped.

Do not expect too much. Just enjoy the movements that occur in the crypto market. It will make you more calm and comfortable compared to waiting for an uncertain one.

even with etf and china approving this is very difficult I guess. Hope it will be as fast as possible, waiting for upcoming Kelvin Blockchain, will you invest in upcoming ICOs guys??

the bitcoin price is so unpredictable to decide. we have almost 4 months to go before we decide. like last year we didnt expect that it will be tenfold jump of the price but hoping that will repeat it this year. but five years from now maybe the price will be steady and stable slowly up or down.

Tenfold is really impossible in my opinion. As we can see the growing development industry of crypto currency this days is quite slow due to shitcoins that keeps on appearing in the market. Dumping crypto doesn't help the growth of value of crypto especially Bitcoin.
 Setting aside normal fluctuation in the past year is a big question to crypto enthusiasts.
 pump and dump group is also a factor to increase value.

About the future of Bitcoin exchange rate differences, even for experienced analysts. Hard to answer.

It is very difficult to make predictions about the cryptocurrency.Most likely this year the growth will be kept artificially.Next year, there will definitely be growth.What exactly will be the course is unknown.But 10x is unlikely to be

Even etf approval wont make btc price tenfold from its current value, we need more and expecting to pump that high will make you miss the real ath

you must know bitcoin for me has reached its peak in the past year. bitcoin can increase by 10 times, but having to experience a very deep decline can only rise high. try to remember the bitcoin trip from 2009 to 2017 and finally peak.
I think bitcoin won't peak again before experiencing a deep decline and I believe this year there will be no other coins that can catch up with bitcoin. but when it's been 10 years from now there will probably be other coins following the price of bitcoin.

I think it is not practical to expect you will just regret that you expect. Just expect for the worst so that it would not be painful specially if it goes deep.

Even though the market is full down right now I still see the bright tomorrow for bitcoin I believe that it go ten times fold again this year. There’s no wrong about expecting it to happen but atleast I believe on it.

People don't need ETFs or Starbucks to do it all for them. Let's say we would need 10 billion to come into the market to reach a certain point, if that happens people will do the rest. They are only waiting for a signal to start buying. A signal that will prove that institutions are really interested, that governments approve BTC. We managed to reach 20k without ETFs, Starbucks, Microsoft annd all the rest, which means we can do it with them much easier and much faster.

If you look at the volume that was at the end of 2017, you can understand that the bitcoin price will increase many times only if the volume of purchases increases many times. My opinion - 2018 year is year of bears trends.

I agree with this, the last bull market came out of nowhere and no one was expecting it and we all benefited greatly out of it, but now that everyone is waiting for another bull market the most likely option is that it is not going to happen, remember only a minority can earn money from the markets, not everyone can win because the money you earn needs to come from someone else that lost it, so do not make the mistake of waiting for a bull market and then sell because if you do you are giving up your profits to someone else.

It will take strong fundamentals issues for such kind of jump and it is possible this can still happen this year 2018. I have analyze the possibility of it through technical issues but I doubt if this is possible as technically the market is in bearish mode.

I guess we really need to accept the fact that we are really in a bearish mode and its really hard for bitcoin if we are thinking a tenfold jump this year. We already touch based with the ETF Bitcoin postponement. Yes, there are a lot of speculators who jumps in and we all are very happy to see the price jumps above $8500. But then again, the bears suddenly took control of the market again because of the news of the delay. I still have mix emotions though, I know we have stood the test of time without this ETF's on our backyard, but with the bearish mode made me think we need something to reverse the trend and perhaps ETF can bring fresh blood into the market again and re-ignite everything.

That is not very practical, but if that keeps you going then be my guest, the problem with those kind of predictions is that once the prediction does not come true, and it wont, people get disappointed and the chances they sell their coins for a bad price becomes very high, which is the main reason of why I always suggest people to make realistic predictions so they do not fall in that pattern.

I don't think that bitcoin will jump 10x this year as it is very hard for it to reach this milestone as 8 months have already passed and still the value is below par than the previous year so first bitcoin would have to reach at the level where it was in the previous Year and once it does that then it should make a jump for the 10x mark that you are expecting and that happening is close to impossible as far as I can imagine.

It's impossible to happen this year and I don't think bitcoin can go up tenfold in one year, that's too much for a short time frame. I do hope that the bear market is over at the end of this year and the market will go sideways for several months before to accumulate more coins for future bullrun. Last year bullrun caused by the hype that created by the media and a lot of people got burned at the crash so it will take a long time until that kind of thing happen again.

I think 10x or 60k will for sure go down in 2019.  Trying to squeeze it into 2018 seems like a tough task.  It could happen as I feel this bear is simply market manipulation and the spring back is going to be epic.  They will need to pump it fast so the tether boys can't get in cheap. 

Do not know whether tenfold the price will increase. But this year, Bitcoin's price is expected to be like last year. Because Bitcoin's price is now around $ 7000. So it is not impossible to expect prices like last year. And bring success to the investors.  :)

I am not sure about that... Yet many experts are saying that it will take place in this year, closer to its ending. I know only, that many people will be so regretable when this will be real, because they are not investing right now!

Times 10 is a possibility but, very small chances. During the first six months of the year bitcoin is really making difficult times to maintain above $5000.

How could we expect the price to increase 10 times. It will increase but it is a matter of times. A yearly increase will be alright. Then comparing the price 2 years ago, that maybe 10 times.

I do not expect a big price increase in Bitcoin. But the price may half. Lower prices are more probable than higher prices.

Same with mine too.The last quarter of this year is fast approaching yet the price is still in a steady growth.So i don't really expect to make tenfold jump for bitcoin this year.Maybe $15k-$20k before this year ends might be possible i guess.

No way.  there is some funny business going on in the market lately.  I honestly don't know what to make of it.  I think it will take in to 2019-2020 time range to get those types of gains.  I hope it happens though!

No, it is not practical because of what happen in the past few months wherein many people got discouraged and get out of cryptocurrency being hyped last December. Its price may increase and may surpass all time high if there is a catalyst that would trigger it but expecting it to jump tenfold would be less likely although there is a possibility for it to happen but as what I say, it is less likely given the situation that we go through for the past few months. If you want to increase your bitcoin holdings tenfold though then just continue to trade and take profits even if it's just small.

I don't want to comment on this. Although it may sound ridiculous, such spikes have occurred with Bitcoin many times in the past. In 2011, the prices went up from $0.30 per coin to $25 per coin. Then again in 2013, the prices went up from $10 to $1,230. And in 2017, there was a spike from $1,000 to $20,000 per coin.

I think is what most of the expert says that Bitcoin price will pump a lot before the end of the year but who knows, the price simply pumps with a good news and new big investors without them price just dropped.

High expectations leads you to nothing. Just be positive but don't expect. Everything happens for a reason, everyone knows that bitcoin will strive again. It's not that low, it is in a stable state. Just don't expect bitcoin will change something this year. Everything is laid flat.

At this point I think the bigger chances are for the scenario in which things more or less remain the same, there are going to be some factors that decrease or increase the price of bitcoin in a temporary fashion, this is not going to last and we will go back to the current range of prices, I know that my prediction is not very exciting for those looking for volatility in the market but that is what I think it will happen.

Of course, not, there is no such practical evidence which indicates that we are going to have a jump that big. We cannot rely on the luck or coincidence and if you think it can happen when you are free to provide any proof or assumption which you think it can.

The tenfold increase may also occur with the assumption of this year. However, in reality and so far it is very unlikely. In order to increase or decrease in the market, there are many factors that determine the market. And for sure, it just moved a bit better.

That didn’t happen in most other years, it even took everyone by surprise when it happened in 2017, and lots of people were calling it a bubble and some people said that it was a result of whales pumping the price to dump it later. I don’t know for sure if the same thing is going to also happen this year, this year might be different and price might not go up like that. But no matter what happens, I still believe that the price will get to a bit higher price than it is now.

From current levels to tenfold means we must have bitcoins prices above $60k which may not be possible within next 4 months of times. But anything may happen as per the past performances of bitcoins. Only in November 2017 bitcoin raised from $10k to ~$20k. If we have similar growth in coming months of this year then it may become possible.

Ten times the probability should be small, but there is still a chance that BTC will return to $20,000, the market heat is low and BTC's etf isn't working.

The price of bitcoin is so unpredictable that anything can happen everything. Since the beginning of the year various experts have made their predictions about the price. Many positive promises were voiced for the spring, then for the summer, now - for autumn and winter. I now don't want to predict anything, everything should happen as it should. And we will just wait and watch.

For me there are lots of chances still for bitcoin to make this pump, but the time will verify if our speculations are right, maybe 2019 will be better, we will see.

Obviously it's not practical to expect something you couldn't affect to. But new ATH isn't impossible option for this year.

No. It is not practical to speculate that bitcoin will jump tenfold from it's current value. There are so many people that are waiting for that moment and of course there are still many people that are waiting for that moment just to sell all of their bitcoin we should also consider that not only the buyers.

we should not expect anything from bitcoin as we all know that there is still uncertainty on the system that includes its market price movement. However, we know that market price for crypto is volatile so there could be some possibilities that bitcoin market price will go higher but not that much as ten fold jump.

It is never practical to exoect any number of jumps to any any number of folds. It just disapoints you in the end to know that your expectations were not met. Now, in the question of hoping, I wouldn't want a tenfold increase on Bitcoin's price. For one thing, when the prices adjusts, and it will, it will plummet tenfolds too. So i woukd.much rsther want a steady increase rather than a jump.

To some extent I agree with you. It appears hard for bitcoin to increase ten times in such a short duration but then again it just appears. Bitcoin is a way too powerful and amazing. No one can really predict the end year value with great accuracy. Just wait and watch. It can easily touch 40k dollars and for doing so, there is no requirement of long periods.

3rd quarter of the year is almost close to an end yet still no significant changes in the value of bitcoin. Current BTC price is close to $6500. A tenfold jump in bitcoin price is hardly possible this year. But even if do not meet the tenfold expectation at the end of this year, we still expect a better price at around $15K or up to have at least a much better profit to enjoy.

if you leap 10 times in a year there will definitely be a lot of people investing from now on because they take an unlimited profit in terms of BTC prices that are currently standard and I only remind you that if we get satisfactory results we must think first to buy 1BTC.

It is not possible or let me say not likely, bitcoin has not gone beyond  10000$ for most part of this year, what we can reasonably expect is a recovery to it previous all time high

I'm thinking that it is not practical and it would lead people to a frustration if they are confident in that, I am anticipating a great growth and bitcoin till next year so probably even tell medium point of next year because EFT and all those things.

Things take time. if you want to see bitcoin at such high level, then we must contribute in this race too. we are playing a hypocrisy game. We don’t invest in bitcoin, neither we promote it, nor we became stable and don’t let whales take advantage of the scenario. But still we want good money from bitcoin. The prices must be high and blah. We must play our part of sacrifice for it.

If the BTC's ETF is approved, it is equivalent to official recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset.
This will also have a certain impact on the price of Bitcoin, BTC will once again break through the new high! There will be a round of bull market for cryptocurrencies!

This is something that many forget, now after the bull run many people are saying that they predicted that movement in the market and that is not true, the movement that we saw in 2017 took everyone by surprise, I am sure that governments thought that bitcoin was done for and that it will never reach 1000 dollars again which is why they let it continue without too much regulation and now suddenly they are realizing the market is stronger than ever and they need to do something to stop it.

Yes, because this technology is still young and has lots to improve. If it, in its infancy, was able to soar so high, it is not far also that as it reaches its climatic point, it will surge again notably. Without a doubt, bitcoin keeps on surprising us each time.

A tenfold jump this year? I would probably say no. We are already in the third quarter of this but nothing happens with our BTC right now. It still stuck at $6300 for quite some time. Though I still believe it is possible but not this year. It takes a little more time to make it a reality.

Yes.I also agree with you.Though bitcoin has a high volatility,but i think its impractical to believe that bitcoin will have a tenfold jump this year knowing that the last quarter is coming and yet no big changes in the price market of btc happens.I know it will reach its new peak somehow but not really that tenfold jump.

No one knows it will happen! But there is always a possibility. The market is volatile in nature so expect the unexpected. Anyhow, the year end is the most anticipated month for crypto holders to spike the price. So let us hope for the best.

I think its not going to happen that way again. I am a bit doubtful since there are too many day traders it might just create a different scenario. But there might be an increase in volume but only for a very short time then it will go back again very low.  This is just my opinion though and I am in no way a professional. I based my observations only to how events are happening during the fall of the market.

It's to early to assume that it will have a bullish run this year because the signs of it's recovery is nowhere near and there are no indicators signalling yet that the price will have an uptrend. It seems this year is a series of bad news from regulations, big hacks and millions of crypto's is stolen. But it's not wrong to expect that bitcoin will surge this year after all btc is full of surprises.

Sorry to say but I do not agree with you because if it is about possible and impossible then I think nobody expected bitcoin to touch 20k dollars by the end of last year so no one really knows what is possible for BTC and what is not. This asset is expected to touch 1 million dollar sometime in the future. If not so, then it can at least touch 60k dollars for sure.

So far, the time is August, and the possibility of this ideal realization is very small, almost impossible. Even if the ETF is passed, I think it is very difficult to achieve such a high price, and maybe it will appear next year.

I do not think that is possible. I doubt whether this is the thinking of the skeptics of Bitcoin's value by the end of 2017? But what actually happened at that time? USD 20,000. That's horrible. I always hope that Bitcoin will increase, and increase the price. But, in my opinion, Bitcoin will not be able to increase the value of the mutation by the end of 2018 as in 2017.

So you think that bitcoin is going to reach a price of 60k for each coin? We need to be realistic here, there is nothing wrong with being optimistic but you are blinding yourself to the truth, most likely the price is not going to grow that much this year and that is fine since this give to us the opportunity to get bitcoin for a reasonable price, the price you are talking about will need 5 to 10 years to be reached.

It might happen but the chances are low. All we could do is to speculate on what's going to happen on bitcoins price but there is no guarantee that would be tenfold higher or worse tenfold lower.

I doubt the approval of etf would result in a ten-fold increase in its price. Many newbie nvestors were burned last quarter in the previous year, and that will take time to regain their confidence in this market.

The main path to realising ten fold gains would be via trading the peaks and drops in demand vs supply.   You'd have to be pretty skilful to double up this many times but some have this edge and could do it and regardless of any other criticism Bitcoin still offers plenty of opportunity to be traded.

Its not practical to expect this but its a possible path for some.    The old just hold and see I dont fully support tbh unless you are really busy elsewhere, Bitcoin will grow best when it has the highest percentage or actual users within its population of holders.

If we could somehow find that statistic then you will have your answer and even a date at which it is best to buy it.   I think its harder to tell exactly unfortunately

Very unlikely indeed, it will probably take some more years before we will experience again the 2017 huge rally. Perhaps after next Bitcoin halving.

Yeah that happens every few years once. but that does not mean a 10-fold price increase can't happen in a short period of time right? there is no definite formula this year will increase many times and will occur again 2-3 years. no one knows that. let's hope the best for bitcoin this year

This may happen as big investors roll in their fund for bitcoin trading. The price will just surpass even tenfold. But with this current market cap it's impossible except all altcoins will bleed to near zero.

Right,Even though the market is full down right now I still see the bright tomorrow for bitcoin I believe that it go ten times fold again this year. There’s no wrong about expecting it to happen but atleast I believe on it.as soon as ETF accepted from SCC i think every coin on exchange will pump adopt.

With the current price and situation of bitcoin? I would say no because we can see that the price range is too much high to make another ten folds. Another reason is that there is no significant good newa to attract other people to invest on bitcoin like what happened last year. To go for two folds is very hard for bitcoin now and I don't even expect to make it ten because of these reasons.

it's difficult to increase its value tenfold this year, although the price of bitcoin always gives an unexpected surprise, I think if the price of bitcoin has risen again this year, it can only increase its value twice from now, it also takes a long time because this bitcoin price always has a very sharp decline.

Yes, I support that too. Frankly I'm getting sick and tired of all the questions about which ETF is going to shock the market into the skyline and when. I don't think that they are going to get involved very much anyway. They'll probably only jump in like you said when things are already in motion. That would be really good for us though because it will add momentum to the trend we'll already be riding.

We did reach those levels alone, but also because there was the novelty factor behind the trend. Now it's not so fascinating anymore so people are a bit more cautious.

If you are going to look at the current price of bitcoin comparing to past price of bitcoin we could see a different pattern in each scenario so we could conclude that it is not easy for us to just compare the price of bitcoin on the past price of it. Sometimes expecting too much is not good especially in crypto market prices. Because every year price in crypto is not like before or sometimes the price will huge in unexpected time. So maybe we don't need too much expectation.

I will be difficult, the past bitcoin will not be repeated. maybe Bitcoin can rise 2x, but it's impossible to be able to increase 10x. the development of bitcoin prices this year is really hard, unlike last year, every price will go up, it will go down again. and it's been repeated.

Tenfold will be , but I think this year is not possible. But great hopes are good, confidence in it increases. Just as you did. I too hope you like Bitcoin will soon reach skyscraper success.

quite pessimistic about that but nothing is impossible in this world, all possibilities can happen, even the worst possible, no one can predict what Bitcoin's future is accurate, but hope it does exist even though it is difficult if bitcoin prices rise dramatically ten fold in a short time,

Yes, tenfold is an unrealistic number with all the conditions that bitcoin owns, things are almost not supporting bitcoin, even the price of bitcoin going back to its peak in 2017 has been a very difficult one, farther dream is still a funny story. What we should expect at this point most probably is the rebound and the bitcoin reaches the $10000 price again, our hope can only continue to be lit when bitcoin comes to this, otherwise, everything will be a bad year for us

Agree although any price changes can occur. we don't expect too high because maybe it will disappoint you. You're right that in 2018 prices continue to falling and even we havent see a high recovery. maybe we should think about recovering to last ATH first before thinking about a 10-fold increase

Holding is not only for those which do not have the time to look at the market all day, holding has been shown to be a strategy that outperforms the majority of the traders, it may sound odd but when you take into account the fees you need to pay to the network, conversion fees, exchange fees and the taxes you should be paying, holding gives more profits by basically doing nothing.

If it will not be realized at least we have a goal and some expectations but we know already that the volatility of coin is also a factor, and the market season that are cause by some factors ,are also the other things to watch, but at least we expect of something still good profits.

Nothing is impossible as anything can happen anytime to bitcoin, if once it start rising it never stop increasing so the price will be higher than this very soon and don’t be so sad we are going to see bitcoin above than this but it needs only trust and patience to achieve our goal of life, coin is not yet on the frozen point so soon the price will be more than this just hope for the best.

Right.If you keep on expecting to have a tenfold jump for bitcoin this year,i know you might be disappointed.The price is seen to stay in a low price but maybe in the next few days,the price will recover again.Maybe $10k-$15k might be possible for this year i think.

bitcoin might steadily increase towards the end of the year if more people invest in it and more trust in society is increased but it is very unlikely that there will be a huge ten fold jump. but it is not excluded that in the near future bitcoin might go up many times fold as the market fluctuation cycle goes full circle. I also think that it will go up and then stay up then we will again see the active trading of bitcoin as those that bought it cheap and those that see bitcoin going up will also want to invest and we might even find people who are reinvesting in bitcoin again.

In short nobody knows. While it is possible and has happened before, it is now in my opinion less likely. I think it will be a slow rise.

I think, there is no tenfold jump in Bitcoin this year. Looks like we have to be patient to wait for that to happen again. 2018 is a bad year faced by Bitcoin due to the increasing crackdown of regulators from various countries. However, I'm sure bitcoin will regain the trust of investors, and maybe a tenfold jump in Bitcoin will occur in the following years.

I don't think it's possible this year. The market has just been horrible this year with so many people who were open enough to get into Bitcoin due to all the publicity, exiting. Where are we going to get so many people open enough to invest in crypto again?

You can say with confidence that this year there will not be such a big jump of bitcoin in the price. After such a long stagnation, bitcoin is not capable of a tenfold increase in price. He in the last months of the year should grow in price, but investors this time will be cautious and such a price boom is not expected. The most realistic is that bitcoin by the end of the year can rise to 13 000 -18 000 dollars. I think that even up to 20 000 dollars it will not reach, it will be a psychological barrier for investors, they will be afraid of a repeat of last year's situation.

there's a few funny enterprise taking place inside the marketplace currently. I really do not know what to make of it. I assume it will take in to 2019-2020 time range to get the ones types of profits. i hope it occurs though!

Its hard to expert high jump for bitcoin in this year. 2018 is hard year for most cryptocurrency because most coin and token drop the price more than 80%. I am better realistic and hoping bitcoin can back to above $10k

Tenfold is possible as with anything is possible. But realistically, the chances of that is very slim that many don't see it happening until 2019 or 2020. We've moved quite negatively this year and growth probably will be a bit slow.

At the moment not everything looks so optimistic. The market stalled in its development. It seems to me that we will not see more than 14 thousand this year. Many factors now that hamper growth

I also thought the same thing, Crypto could have jumped ten times from now but how could it be? everyone will say its impossible

I believe the leap in value will occur from year to year because bitcoin is the best

For this year on cryptocurrency and bitcoin ,we can not practically expect ytenfold jump in coin market cap ,this is because it has been hit by a bear market season and I do not think it will pump with a higher value throughout this year , it would just rise for a little but not much as expected by bitcoin holder.

Lol this is not practical but exaggerated ,imagine from $6,200 will jump to 10folds?I am not crazy to take this seriously.expectation is normal but let us be realist on every issues we will be involving coz if not for sure failure is what will awaits you mate.and besides this is not happening this year or even next year because this is the normal value and pumping is just a dirty works

Its completely unpractical. There is no way bitcoin is going to spike like that because it is already having trouble resisting its drop at this point. There are huge dumpers all over the globe who are pulling back the growth of bitcoin and thus making it look like worst in this season. The thing is, when rest of the world see's bitcoin falling like this they will fear to invest into it. These are the peoples who might have been new investors who could have pushed the bitcoin to 10 fold rise but unfortunately that is not the case and the reavers of everything is happening. I doubt that it would be 10 fold change this year. Give it another one and half then we may think about it.

When the year started, I was highly expecting that the price of bitcoin climbs to 10k and above but I'm not seeing that this year. The price is going down as time goes on.

every next $ 1000 of growth becomes very expensive, so for such growth people should actively use bitcoin not only as a way of speculation, but also as a method of payment. while this is never see

I cannot see any possibility that this will happen within this year. It is better to expect the worst case rather than expect something impossible. If that will happen, I am sure that this will not last within a month. Maybe after a week the price will fall off and holders will panic sell and that will end up to further decrease in bitcoin's price.

The possibility of bitcoin achieving a tenfold feat this year is impracticable this can be linked to low volatility and momentum of the price and more harm was done by the "whales" who had one way or the order had been manipulating the price invariably pushing the market to be bearish however there is chances of the price recovering but we shouldn't expect a tenfold increment.

I think this is a very real situation, but not by the end of this year. There are only 3 months left and he will not be able to grow at this price, especially now the time of bears is going on. If you specify and write in a year.. it really is

No, I think that at the end of this year bitcoin is unlikely to rise in price by ten times. After such a prolonged stagnation, even if whales stimulate an increase in the price of bitcoin and it starts to grow rapidly at first in price, it is unlikely that ordinary investors will actively buy bitcoin. They will be afraid of repeating the situation a year ago. To bitcoin grows well, you need it to grow at a moderate pace for a long time and after some time investors can connect to its purchase. This year is unlikely to be possible.

You may achieve $60k BTC in 2019.  2018 is a bit of a stretch.  Could you imagine that ride?  3.5 months and up $54K.  That's the type of insanity I can get down with.  if it happens knowing when to jump into tether or cash is going to be one hell of a task to solve. 

A ten fold is a very optimistic and not a very attainable goal. Albeit it did happen early this year but the price correction after that is too painful. I'd rather have a more steady increase in price and a mkre stable movement on BTC rather than a huge spike but an all year round bear market.

Less in a few months and the year will change but there have been no significant changes, to see a 10-fold increase it will be very difficult to see conditions still like this, maybe the view will be different when the bullish happens, hopefully this year at least prices can recover or rise significant..

i think not, the factors that affects the downtrend are different from the past years, even months. today, the market fluctuates like crazy. there are more factors that contributes to the volatility of bitcoin's market price. one is issues about some fake exchanges which could double in the next coming months, more and more bogus exchanges could harm bitcoin trust factor, another is more and more coins are being introduced in the market that tightens up the competition in the market. but to be positive, let us all hope that bitcoin will still survive this negative factors.

In my opinion, I don't think bitcoin or any alternate coins are gonna be having a jump of value, or in their term, gonna go mooning. With what happened this year, its just so traumatic specially to those newbies who just started investing and have experienced a great loss, I think its gonna take some time before people forget what happened in the crypto market this year.

In my own opinion, you should not expect for the price to increase again this year because the market is volatile so it was better to be just patient rather than expecting.

Expecting for bitcoin to jump tenfold within this year is not impractical at all. Anyone can expect with different results out from your inquisitive mind. Anything can happen with bitcoin this year but don't just expect too much because when your expectations will not come true, you might get frustrated only.

I believe that such a scenario is not real and the next couple of years.
After the crazy jump in the upward in 2017, we need to improve very well and for a long time.
PS, hope to appear in 2019 ;)

Tenfold for this year? it's high. Expect some pumps but we can't be sure about the tenfold.
Yes $60,000 is likely next year but this year, its difficult to assume.

Now all investors are expecting Bitcoin ETFs to pass!
I hope that BTC will reach the position of $20,000 at the end of the year!
It seems difficult to achieve now, maybe it is difficult for BTC to rise to $10,000!

About a tenfold jump, this is most likely a hope, but it's quite possible to expect a five-fold wait, but it's still a lull about bitcoin growth.

Well, anything can happen in the crypto world especially when you see that bitcoin is too much volatile and it just take a day to move 1000$ up or down. When everyone is thinking that crypto and bitcoin is dead, that will be the time when whales will make a move and take bitcoin to all time high prices. Right now is the best time to accumulate bitcoins.

I also think that way.Bitcoin may be so volatile that it can make a tenfold jump before the end of this year but looking at the current condition of the market,it's quite hard to reach even a $10k-$15k btc price.I expect a bull run but until now the market is still in dump.But honestly i still have high hopes that bitcoin won't frustrate the people and it will reach a new height before this year ends.

In 2017, the cryptocurrency became well known to many people, and many currencies including Bitcoin made great value.

The price that was highlighted in 2018 broke the value, many people lost a lot of money and diluted the confidence in cryptography.

I do not expect Bitcoin to priced $ 800,000 in 2018.

However, this industry is still immature, from now on the blockchain technology will evolve, regaining confidence from many investors, and as the cryptocurrencies become more popular in the world price will also rise line.

I think that the price of bitcoin will rise more than 10 times over the next five years.

It is not practical for several reasons, to begin with it is not going to happen, you want bitcoin to grow and touch the price of 60,000 in a matter of months, so you want about three times the highest price that bitcoin has ever reached, that is very ambitious and very optimistic but it is one of those things that is not going to happen no matter how much you wish for it, so it is way more practical to try to find a way to earn more bitcoin or more fiat that you can later invest in bitcoin and wait for a bull run.

maybe because nothing is impossible in Crypto
but if we look at the data and the number of annual transactions it is very difficult to be realized even though it could actually be realized because of other factors and I personally hope that it really happens ;D

I can only say that everything can happen including 10x bitcoin growth in this year, but it may fall to 4-5 thousands $ as well I think, but that's less likely to happen.

The chances of 10x fold for just this year only is now getting low because we have only 3 months left before this year will end as many believed that we are still in the middle of bearish market in which that is why the Bitcoin price increase is slow moving. Hopefully, a miracle will happen that the bullish market will start making the Bitcoin price to have a sudden leap towards ATH again before next year.

No, last year the market was not stagnant for almost a year and before that bitcoin did not fall in price by 70 percent. Now investors are unlikely to invest in bitcoin large amounts, if it starts to rise in price well. Investors will now be cautious, and therefore, the high growth of bitcoin in the price this year is unlikely. Should be expected. A good bitcoine price by the end of this year will be at 13 000 -18 000 dollars.

In my own opinion, You should not expect for the price of cryptocurrency to increase immediately because the market is based on demand and supply, that is the reason you should expect anything about the market price.

of course, if to take previous year into account, then it is possible to expect everything, anything, but you shouldn't forget that this year both the popularity of bitcoins and the number of traders many times has increased. and the price has all the same fallen very strongly so I don't think that this year something will be...

You may have your own predictions that bitcoin will be a maximum of $ 15,000 until the end of this year, but from my graph Bitcoin always increases every year, and we can only wait for all of that to happen

Well i would tend to disagree with the statement about a tenth fold rise in the values of Bitcoin. Of course it is a subjective topic and people with different minds and mind of thinking will approach the issue with different views in mind.

The reason why i think it will not happen is that the demand for the coins has actually reduced due to the prevalent down market situation which has been making sought of chaos lately. But the element of uncertainty is very much obvious in the market and i think anything can happen. It can even rise more than the tenth fold.

Well, most of the member here are joined bitcoin world not just to learn about crypto currency but to earn money, and if you are in trading world i think all of them are expecting to have bountyful profit at the end of the year. But it is very important to set or prepare your self for unexpected cases because if bitcoin gets dump it will totally decrease so just be patient always and dont panic.

We just have few months to the end of this year and we should not expect much to happen as everything is looking bearish.  I just believe that 2018 is time to buy and hold for long term.  If you miss this opportunity,  you may not see bitcoin this low again. 

I think not because bitcoin's price not doing well this year and also with some issues with ETF disapproval that makes a price drastically changed everyday. ETF is the only chance for bitcoin to sour high like last year and hoping for the next ETF proposal could make the price stir uptrend.

I think not. Do not expect the Bitcoin to be pumped, do not let the past affect the present. That's not a good habit. You should accept reality and find ways to make money from the present situation. Make plans for the future but focus on the present. ;)

Such an expectation is never healthy. We could expect two fold but such thinking will juat end up in disappointments. I mean if there is a ten fold increase in Bitcoin price this year, you'll expect a price correction the year after and suffer a long bear market. I'd rather have bitcoin grow gradually and slowly.

There is no question in my mind that bitcoin will go through the roof despite the see-saw rides it has been experiencing in the market. Lets not also forget the fact that it remains the number one cryptocurreny notwithstanding. To bitcoin fanatics, that feeling of optimism never ceases regardless its volatility. I am placing my bet that the last three months of this year will be beneficial to all of us.
 

The price of a Bitcoin is definitely doubtful. In the past year, everyone was amazed that when a bitcoin price was filled several times compared to the first year. We should be calm and have to wait until the end of the year. We are confident Bitcoin will double its percentage by the end of the year.

You should not measure the growth of Bitcoin in terms of its market recovery. This can be very different things. At times, the growth might be very low but the jumps in the value are so sudden that you do not smell it the least. Besides, there is possibility for Bitcoin to grow in the nest few months.

We have had a low market recovery lately and in order to grow big, the crypto market has to be vibrant about the growth till December which so many people are expecting. But even if it did not recover, the technology is here and all of us know it has great potential so be it the next year.
