I'm spectulating after the 17-18th of Feb , that Bitcoin will drop SIGNIFICANTLY with Chinese new Year fast approaching.
Once it does , It will hover and go down to about 3k / BTC and near the end of 2018 , it will rise Significantly , to about 30k USD.
And then in 2019 Q1 Bitcoin will be able to pass 50k USD ...
This is spectulation , but lets see if i'm right.
What do you guys think will happen to Bitcoin for the next 2-5 years?
I'm sorry but bitcoin is still is still above $10K Feb 17, and I doubt that we can see it touching below $10K this month. On the contrary, this rally that we are seeing will continue and not be affected and drop significantly after the Chinese New Year. I'm betting that it could go to $50K-$60K at the end of the year. Remember that we still have the Lightning Network factor, if this is implemented in the next quarter then expect bitcoin to reach another all time high.

Nikola Jokic (Denver) made the fastest triple-double in the history of the NBA in 14 minutes and 33 seconds, sharply improving the 17-minute Jim Tucker record he had resisted since 1955! Denver also scored 24 shots by 3 points touching last year's Cleveland record (25)
I guess, no record is really safe in the NBA. The only untouchables are the Wilt's records as far as I know. The cavs won those trades. First i had raptors to the finals, Now cavs will win again. Clarkson, Nance, Hood and Hill. wow. solid bench
Definitely the Cavs made the best move and the winner of the trade. Disposing those veterans is the only thing to do to help them improved and be competitive and now they are reaping the rewards. Specially Jordan Clarkson, which seems to be enjoying his new role and playing along with Lebron. I think they are already out this season, but with the overhaul, I wouldn't be surprise if they are going to challenge Toronto and Celtics for the top spot.

King Roger Federer is back on his throne! he is definitely in the legend. With 36 years 6 months and 11 days is the oldest n.1! For me he is surely the strongest player of all time.
Nice. I 100% agreed. Its remarkable that he was able to reclaim his throne at 36 years old and the oldest #1. Let's see how Nadal reacts, he is resting but I'm sure that he wants to get it back, although they are friends outside the court, but inside its different. This guys have a high level of competitiveness around them and wouldn't move an inch. What can I say? Congrats to Roger for being the #1 again and I'm sure tennis world is very happy to see him back at his throne.

With Chinese New Year coming up on 2/16 what do you think will happen will the market cap get an influx of new money from China or not? I'm thinking we will and hoping it will boost prices for all coins but of course, this is just speculation, what do you think?
The Chinese New Year does seem to have had a positive impact on Bitcoin. The price has risen above the crucial resistance level of $10,000. The Chinese New Year doesn't seem to have done anything special for altcoins. Most of them are trading flat from yesterday in fiat terms. Exactly. Maybe all who says that it will really bring money to the ecosystem are absolutely right. I'm glad to see that bitcoin finally breaking the $10K mark once again and from the looks of it we may never see it going $9999 for the next months or so. Nice job for every holders up to now. Lets see how the market goes in the next succeeding weeks. I have a gut feeling that we are in another rally up to $12K before seeing another change in the prices.

Stability of bitcoin at $8,000 seems to be a good support and it's not yet falling down.
Most of us know that bitcoin market is turning bullish but we couldn't exactly predict that bitcoin price would reach 50k dollars.
as we can all see, the price has been quite stable around $8k... unable to break the resistance price at $9k if price can steadily increase ~10%/month, we might see $22k at the end of 2018 I can only hope it drops to $6k one more time so I can buy some, before it goes back up to $20k+ That scenario from $8,000 is happening now to bitcoin as it is making itself stable at $9,000 and is having rough time to break $10,000. $22,000 sounds nice but I'm also believing those speculations that bitcoin can possibly reach $40,000 by the end of the year. And with your chance of buying before at $6,000, didn't you bought some during that dip? I guess it won't come back again to that price. I spoke too soon ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) it just broke $9k and on the move breaking $10k checkpoint if this uptrend movement can keep at its pace, it's right on track to get up to $22k or even more in dec 2018 I don't have any (liquid fund) cash ready at the time it was $6k ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) all locked on stocks and mutual funds Yeah mate and you know what? Boom! Hello $10,110. Our baby is now back again to 5 digit and I know many are celebrating. It seems that the Chinese New Year is really one of the major reason why it dropped so quick and why it is recovering so fast. I'm also waiting to see it back at $20k and I don't care if it will take a year or so as long as I'm going to see it. Well sorry about it mate if your funds are locked on mutual funds. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) But I guess you still have some btc left on hold. Agreed. Seeing bitcoin hitting the 5 digits again was breath taking. After a very bearish trend in the last two months, we finally seeing some rewards for those who have dearly hold onto their bitcoin during the crisis. Its gonna be exciting after the end of the Chinese New Year. I'm waiting for the price to break the $12K (which is the next psychological barrier). Let's the bulls started their run and see where it ends.

Durant had 50 points today, but the last three minutes were too bad!
The warriors lost the league to the Houston rockets after losing the game.
The all-star weekend off is a chance for teams to adjust!
Yes, its very unfortunate for them to lost the game. It was really tight at the end, but I guess the breaks of the game went against them. Although they lost the #1 spot, I'm sure that its not something that they need to worry about. Good to see that we have the all-star break and see some fun times around. I'm sure the game will be a offensive display and well above 300 points once again.

Will Bitcoins hit 30K before the end of this year?
Do you also have kind of assumption? I already have...
Its too early to tell because we have just in the second month of this year and we have been recovering for more than 2 months of bearish trend. We just barely hit $10K today and we don't know if that's going to be sustainable in the long end. But if we are all going to look at bitcoins past historical graphs, there's a good chance that we can get even as high as $50K this year. All we need is more positive news coming from all sectors. No crystal ball can predict the price at the end of the year, but personally I will assume that we can go and hit $30K which is just like x3 of the current price.

What do you think are the effects of btc in your country? Because in my country it thus not affect the economy of ours. Share yours.
As much as we want to think that there are a lot of people using bitcoin, still a small percentage of the population really know what bitcoin is. So in my country, only few knows what bitcoin is so there not much effect on our economy. But its really good to see that bitcoin who earn bitcoin can really enjoy financial freedom. They have a lot of buying power now which turns re ignite our economy to a certain extent.

Dear Bitcoin fanatics, Do you think BTC.X is getting at 10k this week or not? Personally I think it is ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . I'd love to see your reactions ! Cheers Of course it will get to $10K no doubt about it. We are only a few hundred dollars so its possible to see the price hit at the end of the week. Maybe $10K is the next mental barrier, but we have seen from the past that mental barrier can be broken. Its just the question of when. I'm sure that if ever we break it in the weekends, everyone can say that we are out of the woods and then our new goals, to break the all-time-high.

Cavs outmatched OKC this time. Lebron James is much more relaxed compared to past few games. Even though Kevin Love didn't play against OKC, Cavs still managed to avenge their lost before. The addition of J. Clarkson, Nance Jr., Hood, and Hill makes the rotation of Cavs much more versatile and what makes it much more surprisingly amazing is that they easily find their chemistry.
It's not the chemistry as always but new CAVS players on the floor are used to play with their respective roles. On the other hand, Oklahoma City Thunders did some great performanced too and not really outmatched. Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony (who always have an isolation play against LeBron James) and Steven Adams (with monster 17 boads) are on 20+ points margin with a nice field goal stats. It's just that offensive really took placed more on the Cavaliers squad. If I may add, they are a perfect fit for the Cleveland Cavaliers and yes Lebron look relaxed because he's happy seeing them back winning and the team more lively. Yeah they are not out hussled, its that the Cleveland are playing smooth because everyone knows what they gonna do. I think Cavaliers will enjoy a winning streak this second half of the season and can still finish on top.

What might be the reason for the bitcoin price dropping from $ 20,000 to the present price? What do you think about?
There was a big speculations that when bitcoin future contract (CME and CBoE) coming into the picture, the price could go higher than $20K. However, its not the cases, because the price suddenly plunges to $6K. And those that bought bitcoin at the top price decided to sell because they think that bitcoin will continue to go down, they all got burned in the process. And then there's the FUD and governments regulating/banning bitcoin and cryptos.

Federer has asked for a wildcard to participate in the Rotterdam tournament next week! if he reaches the semifinal he will return to the first place in the atp ranking and he will be the "oldest" n.1 in history!
Is Roger Federer really gunning for the number 1 spot here? Or he must take care of his health first? But I will be happy if he will reclaim that number 1 spot. Nadal already did, so I guess Roger should have his turns at the spot this year. If he marches to the quarter-finals, the possible opponent will be compatriot Stan Wawrinka. This will be another classic. As for the Davis Cup, USA will have the upper hand against Belgium here. I will also go with Spain, Croatia and France. I think that for Federer it is too big a chance that it can not be wasted. he only has to win 3 matches (of which the first 2 easy) to return first and only Wawrinka seems a difficult obstacle. Probably is. Stan is the only obstacle between him and the #1. And yes, I have to agree that it will be a welcome news to see him back at the top of the tennis world.

I think he is trying something a little different then last year and join a few more tournaments. Last year we saw him pick the tournaments spread out to give his body enough time to recover for the Grand Slams but maybe he feels that his body is much better this year. I think it would be great to see him return to the number #1 spot because he does deserve it and make even more history by becoming the oldest number #1. Yes, last year we witnessed him taking sabbatical and just enter few tournaments. Maybe this time his body is well adopted to the grind and feeling very good at the moment specially coming from a win. Yes. everyone wanted to see him reclaim the top spot even for a brief moment.

Am abit confused and i want to be very clear so i would not be barred from this promising platform. Can Newbies participate in the Twitter and Facebook Campaigns in a bounty. Because i felt its only Signature Campaigns that Newbies cant participate.
I have a facebook and twitter account but its for personal used so I don't bother to joined. However, in the bounty sections, if I'm not mistaken, newbies are allowed to joined as long as you have the minimum amount of followers that the campaign managers have laid down. For bitcoin campaign though, it different. Campaign managers are very strict and I speculate that they won't allow newbies to join even in a twitter or facebook campaign.

I’ve been wanting and taking my time to enter the trade game. But before I do, just wanting to know the prod and cons of having a lot of new traders coming in.
Trading is much more safer and easy to learn. I’ve been preparing myself for months now and wanted to start my journey here in bitcointalk. But like me? New Traders are comming in fast. Will it be a good sign to our world of crypocurrency? Or will it affect the competition inside?
For me it will bring good to the market. More traders means more money to make. But if you think that trading is easy to learn, think again. the initially journey will be a test to see how tough you are in this industry. I'm sure you heard a lot of members here complaining that even after 1 year in trading, thy are still at lost. So just be careful if you decided to enter, and only invest what you can afford to lose.

What is your take on BTC as of right now? Are you buying, selling or waiting? If you are waiting, which price are you waiting for?
I am waiting for BTC to break 9,5k or to go through 7,5k. If it goes through 7,5k I'll wait to see where it ends. Above 9,5k I am in.
Right now you all can see the bitcoin right now it's in the weak trend with the downtrend in action is still going on and I cannot see any kind of strength signals or any kind of reason to buy the bitcoin in this down trending script. But yes i am expecting it to see it touch the 15k price level soon so that it confirms the strength in the bitcoin in fact after getting a ban in many major countries like India, Nepal, China, Singapore etc. I am just waiting for the right entry signal and right candle pattern to appear over there in the charts. Please get your facts straight India and Singapore hasn't ban bitcoin yet. Unfortunately, the run that we have its not sustainable and the whole crypto is going down but with small percentage, unlike what we have seen in the last couple of weeks. I don't know if we can break the $9.5 barrier, looks like its really a rough road getting there. After gaining, now we see that a lot has been selling again. I think this will be the norm unless some big news that will come to shake the market to our favor.

I think about Bitcoin, and this is just my meaning. As you know Bitcoin is limit. Total of Bitcoin is 21 million, we have dug nearly 16.8 million Bitcoin. Neither founder can not create more Bitcoin. Is this the reason for raising Bitcoin price high and it's also cause for Bitcoin price reduction when we have nearly reached 21 million.
I'm sorry but you all got it wrong, once we reach the 21 million the price will even go higher. Why? Because bitcoin is limited and getting close to 21 million mined will make it very scarce, and with the huge demand, the price will literally grow exponentially. Also you need to take note that bitcoin has its halving, meaning that blocks is going to be cut in half. So there's a possibility that the price could also increase as well.

LBJ James and Thomas are not doing very well on the court at the same time!
The manager's tactics are relatively one-sided, and he can make Thomas a substitute!
A few days before the deal, if the Cleveland cavaliers' management doesn't change.
Cleveland will be a tough season!
This is the very reason why they traded Isiah. I think he actually asked to be traded because he didn't fit in the chemistry of the team or Lebron, being lebron, asked them to get rid of him due to being injuried and then coming off of that did not produce or the cause. So essentially he was useless to them in trying to win. They went something like 8 losses in a row at home with him the in the line as it is. So he gets the boot off first. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The Cavaliers have the chance to test their new players as they face the Boston Celtics tonight and though i am a Cavaliers fan, I don't think that there is even the slightest hope of victory for Lebron James and his team. Wouldn't be great if they upset the Celtics with their newcomers? hahahaha. That will be epic. But seriously though, I also don't think that they will have a slight chance because it will take their new players to adjust with the new system / rotation. At least 3-5 games will be a good gauge as to how they will get to play with Lebron and the rest of team. Let see how it goes for Cavalier, I think they will make the playoffs though but I don't expect them to win the conference championship.

I think he just wants to test the water here. I don't think he's aiming for the #1 spot here, but trying to see how he's body is recovering and responding from the grueling tournament he just won. So its gonna be a win-win for him. If he reaches semifinals then he is #1 again, (yay), if not then he will go back to the drawing board and probably will take longer rest again and just choose which tournaments will give him high rewards.

That is a good advice.I always follow this rules.Because bitcoin price always increases and decreases as a result I buy a good amount of bitcoin,kepp calm,hold btc and earn a huge amount of profits.So you should also follow the method:Keep calm and hold.
Nothing really beat the golden rule: HODL. You don't need to do anything in times of crisis. That's why its not really advisable to check that often the price movement because you will be tempted to sell if you see the price going down. You will feel worried seeing the money in your wallet going down. If going to be tough, but if you have learn to control your emotions then I'm sure that you will be reward handsomely at the end for hodling on your bitcoins.
