If on the fifteen of this December bitcoin will hit $18,000 then that will be enough to see bitcoin hitting at $20,000. There is a chance that it will happen but chances are chances, there's no guarantee that it will happen. But base on what happened for the whole year, bitcoin has been increasing real quick from $1,000 - $3,000 quick and $3,000 - $5,000 and now we are at $11,000 close to $12k.
Chances are chances and anything could happen to the price. For all we know, it may even go down. It's really hard to tell and predict but looking at how far the price has gone this year, it seems to me that it has gone too high and perhaps it's time for it to stabilize a bit. I think that it may go down a bit, especially since it just hit an all time high of $10K already. The price increase has been so quick these past few months that it still surprises me. Who knows, it may surprise us again by the end of this year? Chance of going down is there but there's nothing wrong if we will speculate with high price but it seems the price of bitcoin is starting to get down again. Before it was close to $12,000 and now it has been down to $10,800 so that's really volatile and we can't have a proper prediction on this thing. I'll just wait on that day as I mentioned if on December 15 price will be at $18,000 then $20k at the end of this year is possible. I also think that it has a less chance to reach $20 000 by the end of the year. Bitcoin have climbed up almost reaching $12 000 and then suddenly goes down last week. Less than a month is too short for it to grow another $9 000 or more. Anyways, if it will grow to $20K, I won't mind if it will be next year because as far as I am concerned, bitcoin have already shown a huge growth for this year and I don't mind waiting. There is still 27 days before this year ends and $20,000 is quite far on being seen. It has been down today at $11,500 while last time it was already good at $11,800. Whatever is stopping it to get into $12,000 we just have to keep on waiting until the price gets stable at $11,000. Growth for this year to bitcoin is great and though it was good already,everyone is asking for more.

Which are some new cryptocurrencies in the market which seems promising and can compete with bitcoin in near future?
There's no other coin that can compete bitcoin in the future. They have their own use and features and to think that there will be a thing that's going to be the same with bitcoin, I don't think there is. The only crypto that can do so is BCH.
No, BCH can't do the same with bitcoin. Comparing btc to bch, they are totally different and I don't believe that it will be like bitcoin.

Can yo believe this? What are your own predictions?
I want to believe since that's a big price for bitcoin and everyone is expecting it to be more soon. Things can be changed with bitcoin but I want to see it happening with my bare eyes. Sounds a bit exaggerated but what do I know? Anything can happen with Bitcoin and we can see its value slowly rising lately. But if i have to offer my guess, I'd say 1 BTC would be valued at 100,000 by 2020. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It's totally strange and exaggerated but it looks like McAfee knows what he's talking about and betting his own manhood for that prediction.

Under what circumstances is trading preferred over holding? Btc reaching 10k$ way before new year is a big shock,your opinions would be very helpful.
Trading must do all of the time and if you want to hold, just hold it without any circumstances. Holding is the best thing to do with bitcoin and it has been with several challenges but it has been surpassed and bitcoin is still good and kicking. It's even shocking that there are people who are saying that bitcoin can reach $20,000 before this year ends but I highly doubt it.

I had read that news yesterday and I'm also a little bit worried about it. But still let's see if what will be the impact of this bitcoin futures. Investors are too wise now and if they knew it that bitcoin is always dominant and these newly hopped in investments such as futures will try to do something for ending dominance of bitcoin, they'll quit. I understand that these two are different markets and I hope it doesn't do something negative to bitcoin.

On national TV, McAfee is really determined with his belief I hope that he's still alive on 2020 and see if that will happen for real. $500,000 is already too high for everyone and he's predicting that much at $1,000,000. Still things that are crazy can go into reality and reality can go into legendary and part of history. I'm following his prediction and I hope this will be in reality soon.

The market cap of bitcoin is huge and it will keep on increasing with an passage of time so most of my funds will go in bitcoins as it will definitely give me best profits in future and will keep a watch on good altcoins that has potential to rise very high in future so will diversify some money in it as its always better to invest at different places instead of depending on single one.
Well its market cap is likely to be unstoppable and this makes everyone to keep on investing in bitcoin. Whales, small traders, middle class, big businesses and tycoons are start to make their start ups that will adopt bitcoin, so we are at hand of seeing cashless society so prepare for the best and make yourself welcomed. Altcoin is a good place to invest too but there are too many of them, I have few altcoins on hold and for day trading too. There's no problem if you'll do at the same time.

Why would McDonals accept Bitcoin? The fees are way too high for such an application. You would need to spend 20% or more in fees of the cost of your meal just to eat there. I think we need a solution to this fee predicament very soon because it simply isn't going to work well if we cannot spend Bitcoin anywhere that we want to.
They are business so everything that can make their business grow and satisfy their customers, they'll do it for the sake of the profit and business. Sometimes people are too lazy of bringing cash or credit card and just wanted to try new things out there and bitcoin is a good choice for it. Good news though will wait for the McDonalds near to my house to start accepting bitcoin, will love to try it for a Big Mac.

Well if I were you that's already an investment if you do nothing with it. Just hold it and don't look on it for the next years of your life, keep it where you can have the confidence of it to be safe. I'm not going to give myself an headache just for buying that amount a beer. If you want to donate it to the charity donate it, if not just hold it and leave it alone. Get back to it when the price is 6 digits.

The expectation of the cryptomaniacs has been fulfilled bitcoin reached 11000 dollars. What do you think about this news ? Is good or bad ?
Not yet fulfilled, there are more speculations that wants bitcoin to reach $20,000 and so on. I think about this news something good and helpful to the community and will make bitcoin even more popular. This is good for us who are holding some bitcoins at this way and this is bad for those people that are still doubting bitcoin and they knew it already when the price is still cheaper, I can't imagine what they are feeling right now.

Bitcoin might drastically go down deep following the sudden surge in price. If am wrong you can correct my impression thank you.
The same on the way I think, just like what happened all of the time but still you know what will happen when bitcoin is going down right? I know what you feel since I'm always been like that to but you don't have to worry about it if things are just keep on doing this way bitcoin will just go at the peak and there's no one to stop it unless whales stops on supporting it.

Just buy bitcoin while there's still a time to buy and the price isn't reaching more than $20,000 or when you want to invest when the price is $100,000 already? If you think that bitcoin will be dropping to altcoins price at the end of the year, don't think about it. Price of bitcoin is about to surge most of the time so if you don't want to be left behind by this express train, get in.

I think 2018 February 100$ ethereum maybe...
$100? ETH's price now is even $480 so do you think it will crash and get back to $100? I thing ETH will be 800$-900$ in 2018. Ethereum is smart and long term investment.
There's a chance that ETH can go close up to this price next year, smart contracts are really working out and helping ETH to grow.

Currently all the new ICO are trying to develop platforms with different use case than Bitcoin, not similar at all, why people keep calling them altcoins although they are not alternative?
They are just an alternative so we are calling it altcoins and that makes sense. Bitcoin is the original coin so if someone says or talks about bitcoin, we are mainly calling it as simple as 'bitcoin'. But when it comes to other coins that are less popular or if it is popular and has a good market cap still we are preferring it to call as an altcoin because they are an alternative to the original.

I dont see a reason why they should ban bitcoin, I actually find bitcoin as something that could help shape the economy better.
It's because you are a bitcoin believer, they can ban bitcoin as they wish if they can see it bad for their country or it can be used as a threat to the citizens. They are thinking about negative factors of what bitcoin can do, it can be used by terrorists and for money laundering which we are not going to be part of since we want bitcoin to be used as clean money and good plain investment.

Although bitcoin is beneficial to us, it has some limitations in using bitcoin. Bitcoin mainly deals on internet payments so it's easy for fraudulent hackers. Bitcoins do not depend on any government so it's easy to be used by criminals to gamble and drugs. This makes the bitcoin unsafe
Bitcoin is unsafe if will be used through those deals that you had mentioned and there's no doubt before that bitcoin made it's noise out there and now it is starting to be used properly and being treated just a simply investment. People are still fearing of that thing by not knowing bitcoin is mainly supported and used now through the mainstream transactions and legit companies are starting to accept it too.

I chose ethereum because Ethereum is more reliable than Bitcoin. Ethereum has 50 millon dolars marketcap but its price 500 dolars. It will raise in short time. I invested ethereum and I belive in ethereum you also can trust it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Market cap of bitcoin is even larger than ETH but I don't look at it. It's better to have both of it holding and as the price of bitcoin is getting higher day by day too, it's a fine thing to just keep on holding whether you prefer ETH or bitcoin with your total holdings. Both of them are reliable and will give everyone of us good profit while we are holding it. There's no way for ETH to be a scam, it is a trusted and popular market cap coin.

it is actually easy you know just have some funds and try to deposit in the gambling sites have some tips from the professionals and start gambling you can earn 2 or more bitcoin in just a day for sure if you are lucky.
Easy? come on. Having some funds to a gambling site isn't enough. And am I reading it right about 2 or more bitcoin for just a day? You don't have standards to follow and you really are telling that such things as if gambling is always a winning thing? Be realistic, I don't believe on this thing that's very impossible to happen.
