The freedom to spend your own money without the governments and banks bugging you about it. Also, a new fast and secure way to send money in grwat distances within minutes without having to pay large fees for intermediary processors.
The freedom to do what you want with your own money is also which is one of the more important aspects of Bitcoin for me. It feels amazing to own something that can change the financial sector.

Didn't expect to see Bitstamp break through the $280 level today. Even not due to this VAT news. I hope this will continue the comming months so we can finally see a price above $300.

I'm definitely agreeing with the possibility of 10k$+ price, it's definitely a realistic target. 100k$+... Maybe after 2020. But it would need a lot of money flawing in to reach that price obviously and I don't know if governments will let it happen.
What makes you think that we'll be able to reach $100K+ after 2020?? That's only possible if there are billions of dollars being pumped into Bitcoin by institutional investors. If you said $10K within 10 years, that might be somewhat realistic. $100K simply isn't.

Yup! Bitcoin is better than western union if bitcoin have more adoption than now. And we don't need to trust the third person on bitcoin lets hope this is happen soon Stop hoping and start doing. The sooner we ditch services like Western Union and PayPal, etc, the sooner we'll see Bitcoin becomming the standard for transferring money to anywhere in the world instantly, 24/7, and that all for a tiny fee. Action speaks louder than words.

I think by that time Bitcoin is being used more to store value and that there will be 1 global exchange that only has 1 orderbook. Just like the Nasdaq. Current exchanges will then only function as middle man making possible we're able to invest, but without the option to withdraw. Just like banks offer you to buy stocks.

Currently there is no such thing as stability as far as the Bitcoin price goes. It will stay like this for many years. Especially when there is institutional money flowing into Bitcoin. That's when things are about to get interesting. If that's happening, then there will be another phase of volatility that we haven't seen before. I don't expect Bitcoin to become stable in the comming 5 years.

We in this forum already know Bitcoin is much better and cheaper than all other alternatives. But what I want is that the average Joe's of this world get to see this and finally start ditching shitty companies as WU, PayPal, etc.

BTC-E is what keeps Litecoin alive till this date. I wouldn't be surprised if the owners of BTC-E are major Litecoin holders with at least 10%-20% of the total minted coins in their possession.

I do use Bitcoin everyday. My Bitcoin usage at the moment looks like :
# Buying stuff. # Receiving payments. # Storing value. # Paying people for some coding work, etc.

I have a hunch that this is a false dawn. We have been in a bear market for so long and everyone has been waiting and hoping for riches that we are seeing what we want to see.
We've had a few false signals before though, now that China has given the seal of approval on Bitcoin combined with the halving next summer and the Bitlicense taking effect I think now is the time to start going up. Yes. Two big events in two different events must have significant impact on bitcoin prices which may be the reasons for next big price rally. People around the world are already started holding bitcoin on expectation of halving boom. Satoshi must have implemented halving for every year to make price surges often. Too many people are expecting the halving to take the Bitcoin price to much higher levels. You know what happens when too much people are waiting for the same thing, right? Mostly vice versa will happen. That's why I don't expect anything big from the halving as far as the Bitcoin price goes.

when sub 100$? Any manipulators here or only believers?
Sub $100? Keep dreaming buddy! That won't happen. Have you seen in the beginning of this year how quick we bounced back from lower $200? You will only see sub 100 and lower to oblivion when Bitcoin would have some serious issue which can't be fixed. Sub $100 will happen only when a major disaster happen or a flash crash. Yes $100 is highly unlikely price. Only possible when a whale started to sell of his bitcoin hoardings. But that kind of situations will occur mostly in one or two exchanges and market will recover more quickly as current mining costing is more than that. Yes, as per many expert's predictions bitcoin has come back into raining track to make it's next bubble. It must be a buying opportunity than waiting for a lower price which seems not at all possible. Having waves already stared to make a next bitcoin bubble. Yes, I was hoping for my suspicions to be confirmed. Happy buying guys. I've been thinking about buying or waiting recently and it looks like I have my answer. I'm so afraid to stack up more coins for a chance to sell at a higher price. I don't have that much balls with me. What I have now I think is ok and i'll stay on the safe side. If you're afraid of buying more coins then you better don't buy more. Especially not for the very short term as the price may bounce quite heavily.

More capital controls = More bitcoin adoption
If people need to transfer funds abroad and or make purchases online they will find a way to do it. If capital controls do not allow them to do that they will look for alternatives and at this stage bitcoin is one of those alternatives.
Guess the next 'logical' step for any country where capital controls have been implemented is to ban other forms of 'capital' like bitcoin and or to regulate it in such a way and form that its just no longer a viable alternative.
The large wealthier countries don't see Bitcoin as being a threat in any way, at the moment. That will surely change when the adoption rates are going through the roof. They will implement such rules that as you say Bitcoin isn't that interesting anymore as alternative for several purposes. But for all this to happen it may still take around 10 years before they are that far to start rolling out their ridiculous policies.

I would love to see an exchange that's running 1 global orderbook just like the Nasdaq and other stock exchanges. This is the only way we can have much better stability and less volatility. An Appstore where you can pay with Bitcoin is nice but not really something I am eagerly looking forward to.

in 2020 year I think the price will be around $1000
underwhelming i would say, but it is a 1k stable price like it is today for 230, then it could be ok i guess stable price must be separated from ath, it's x10 harder to remain above a certain value for an undefined time, than simply reaching it i highly doubt the stable price would be 1k ,for that to happen it has to reach atleast 2k $ and i dont know the reason why you guys think the price will only increase ? 200~ is a dead stable price . Not to mention that there are still a lot people who bought their coins above $800 and are eagerly waiting to sell them when they think the time is right. Even if we reach $1000 we won't manage to stay there and probably fall back to the $600-$700 level as there are too many people willing to unload.

Looking at how much "people" registered here in this forum is no indication of how Bitcoin is doing. Account farmers and trolls may have hundreds of accounts to spam with or farm signature campaigns.

you must be patience within trading. or you can trade a greatcoin like as LTC, PPC, AMBERCOIN or other but slow benefit. Patience is the most important thing when it comes to trading. Nowadays people are so used to the large returns in a very short time that they simply don't have any patience left. If one coin isn't giving them the profit they want, they simply hop to another coin. Altcoin investing can make you a good amount of profit, or make you lose a lot in a very short time which makes it gambling.

I think education is one of the most important things to start with. A lot people know Bitcoin as being a thing to invest in with potential high returns. But they don't know the real power of the technology and how it can benefit them when using Bitcoin.

Why would we have higher fees? If Bitcoin's price increases, isn't that incentive enough for miners to keep mining?
Exact this is the point that once halving completed there will be rise in price and for miner it should be ok to take profit from the higher prices.There will not need to increase the fee in my opinion.There will be no effect on security it will also remain same secure like before. I think Chinese mining farms will continue with mining even when the price doesn't go up as much as we hope. The question is will farms from other parts of the world also continue if the price stays at $300? I'm sure the fees will stay the same, so we don't have to worry about that.

I am waiting for increase that's why I hold.This is golden opportunity because price will reach to at least 10k USD in few years.
If you expect the price to reach at least $10K within a few years as you say, then this is right moment for you to go all in. Don't miss this one time opportunity!!
