Bitcoin price could hit $50,000 in a few years, analyst says

What do you think?



I think they have to revise their statement. Based from the current happenings about the price of Bitcoin, reaching 50,000 won't take years to be a reality, it would take only months. If 2018 would be as crazy as 2017 or even crazier, 50,000 will be reached within 2018. Perhaps on the Q3 or Q4.
202  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will Bitcoin stop its correction? on: December 26, 2017, 04:32:39 PM
Bitcoin is now in its correction at Christmas time. Do you think BTC will rise again after this time?

After every correction, the price of Bitcoin increases and the current case is not different from the old ones. Bitcoin will increase in price anytime soon since many bought some Bitcoin during the correction. Bitcoin will not increase in price at all times. Corrections will happen from time to time especially when Bitcoin is at its peak. Do not worry about corrections. Just hold your bitcoins Wink

Hey guys.

Newbie to the forum here... :3

I've been wanting to invest in Bitcoin since the 3k$ mark. But I just haven't had the time, yes I know it was a big mistake waiting...
But I have about 4000$ to invest into Bitcoin (It's currently sitting with shares, will take a few days to pull out), I was wondering is it too late to invest it? Will it still grow? Will we see a big drop/crash soon?
My shares barely profit, if I make a few $$,$$$'s from Bitcoin, I would be more than happy since it would be doing better than my shares my advisor put me on.

I'm happy with Bitcoin, alt coins are too unstable for me in my opinion, and they have a much higher risk than Bitcoin.
Is it too late to invest?



I know it's not late. Bitcoin is just starting to show its tremendous potential so buying now would be a good decision. However, if you'll ask me whether to go in to Bitcoin, I would prefer ETH, BCH, or LTC. Not just they are cheaper that Bitcoin but also they are showing great potential as well. Though Bitcoin is the best coin there is, buying a small amount would give you small profits also.

What are you going to do with your Bitcoins and Dollars now?

I am a little mad at myself for not selling at 17k$ because I was too tired and just fell into the bed.

Buy then hold. Buy when the price drops and hold the coins you bought. Speculating when will the price will peak is difficult especially to those who are not traders. So instead of sell on highs and buy on lows, it is more convenient to buy on lows then hold and hold. Then just sell some in case of urgency.
206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins for illegal activity on: December 14, 2017, 07:13:41 PM
From recent news in India it is heard that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..I know its a currency and it is also used as a normal money... but these can create a bad space in people's mind that bitcoins are used to sell drugs..so they will not use bitcoins... Conclusion is that BTC is also a currency which is having a high value in the market..and bitcoins must not be used in these illegal activity which can reduce its usage and value.

You said it yourself, Bitcoin is a currency and can be used also just like a normal money so using it to buy drugs, pay killers, support terrorists, and other evil acts, this will not ruin Bitcoin. Back then when Bitcoin is not yet in existence, these criminals uses fiat and did that make fiat evil? Of course not.

..and bitcoins must not be used in these illegal activity which can reduce its usage and value.

Sorry to say but you cannot force anyone how to use Bitcoin. And the end result of using Bitcoin illegally was the other way around. It was the main reason why Bitcoin became popular in the first place.

No spreadsheet. Reports are posted here in this thread publicly.
Did you just join? If so then sorry to say but the application for this campaign was closed for Full Member and below 2 days ago if I recall correctly.

@Ehrhc

Is it required to join the Mainstream Crypto Media campaign if I am already a participant of the Signature Campaign? Or it's just optional? Thanks for the response.

BTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTC HuhHuh

Who would trust something they do not know entirely? Bitcoin is complicated and involves money, it is only natural for some or many people to fear it. Perhaps some trusted Bitcoin before but had been scammed by someone then gets over Bitcoin for good. There could be numerous reasons but the main must be its association with money.
209  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is bitcoin dangerous ? on: December 12, 2017, 08:17:01 PM
I'm wondering why bitcoin was made if there are too many currencies in each country, why would anyone add or make a type of currency in the internet? For easier and faster transactions or so ?

I cannot see a connection between your Subject and to what is in your OP that I've quoted.

Why would someone make a new one? Simply because the old one is terribly broken. Too much inflation, government control, slow transactions and any more negative things you could think of. This is the reasons why Bitcoin was made in the first place. To cope with the issues faced by the old currencies.
210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Forks are helpful For Bitcoin? If forks happen then will price go up? on: December 12, 2017, 08:05:48 PM
I Heard about bitcoin forks, and 5 forks will come soon. But why these forks are happening? Is it good for bitcoin price? If forks happen then will bitcoin price go up more than now?

Please kindly give me info about It. Thank You, Everyone.
Have a good day  Cheesy

Forks, either soft or hard, are intended to be beneficial for the Bitcoin Network. Forks are needed in order to upgrade and improve the Bitcoin Network in terms of protocol, for instance. Though they are meant to be beneficial, it is still probably harmful for Bitcoin itself. There could be possible bad sides.

The incoming forks, I believe, are just schemes like BTG, whose developers intend to raise funds magically. I presume that these forks will not harm Bitcoin nor make it shake a little, just like what happened when the BTG fork got underway.

The price could go up since many would want free coins so they would buy more Bitcoin. However, if the FUDster make some moves, the price could go down due to weak hands.
211  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing? on: December 10, 2017, 07:32:22 PM
Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

 Huh Huh Huh

Bitcoin's volatility is partly positive and partly negative. This depends on the application and aspect of Bitcoin. Volatility is a good thing for the investors and traders because they gain more when the price suddenly increases. However, it becomes negative to practicality. Many accepts Bitcoin as payment but every minute of everyday the price changes. Perhaps merchants are getting pissed because of the excessive fluctuations. Let's add the fact that transaction fee is an added burden.

Volatility will stay since it is a part of Bitcoin after all. Alternatives must be considered, I must say.
212  Economy / Speculation / Re: YOU ARE ALL STUPID - SELL NOW on: December 10, 2017, 07:01:08 PM
Good God, I've had enough. You will all lose your shirts when bitcoin hits the markets. You are not smarter than the big boys that run the financial industry.

SELL NOW YOU BLIND SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you call yourself smart? If you had enough then just leave, the community does not need negativity here and you are the living example of that. This is just some freaking scheme of yours so that you could buy some when the price drops. Sorry to burst your bubble but you have to do better than that. The community is used to this kind of scheme. Do us a favor and be unique, okay?
213  Economy / Speculation / Re: Lightning Network was tested on mainnet today! on: December 09, 2017, 07:15:41 PM
https://medium.com/@lightning_network/lightning-protocol-1-0-compatibility-achieved-f9d22b7b19c4



HUGE news. Version 1.0 tested using real Bitcoin. Maybe LN really will come out in 2018.

BULLISH!


Bitcoin taking over the world confirmed! ;p

$100k 2018 if this is in use by end of the summer.

This is a great news for the year 2018. With the Lightning Network in progress, the build up of numerous pending transactions will be history and no one will use that again in claiming that Bitcoin will die because of it. Also, if the LN is in effect, the blockchain won't be suggesting bigger transaction fee because of blockchain bottlenecks. Thus, a better Bitcoin.
214  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is bitcoin price so high? on: December 09, 2017, 06:35:38 PM
Bitcoin price has stratospherically risen leaving minor players with massive gains and bigger players millionaires. Is this a bubble? Are the gains real?

I doubt this being a bubble since a bubble bursts quickly. We are seeing the result of being volatile and the result of exponential growth of Bitcoin supporters. The knowledge about Bitcoin increases quickly and all began jumping in simultaneously. In short, the demand for Bitcoin is rapidly increasing and based from the law of demand, look at the price.
215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BITCOIN or ETHEREUM? on: December 09, 2017, 05:11:02 PM
Hi,
I feel bitcoin is too expensive to invest in atm, i was close to buying 5BTC back in September but thought it was expensive then (what a mistake)

I know it could still rise a lot more but with what i have available to invest, isn't gonna be life changing for me.

So I'm looking to invest and hodl altcoins and a lot of people seem to have faith in ETH even though the network had had problems recently.

Anyone think it still has good potential to rise a lot?

What a very tragic mistake. However, it's in the past now and it does not matter anymore. The things that matter now is what you would invest in.
BTC, in my part, is still profitable to invest in. You thought twice about investing in Bitcoin then because it was expensive then why would you think twice again because of the price. Bitcoin's direction is upward and you have to remember that.

Ethereum could be a good option and I personally like ETH as well. BCH is also promising today. I am pretty interested in buying BCH now than any other cryptocurrency (except BTC of course).

If you are firm about ETH then go for it. ETH has a great potential and it might go even higher as well.
216  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODL bitcoin? why and why not? on: December 07, 2017, 07:37:06 PM
HODL bitcoin? why and why not?

Hold because this is a contributor in the increase of Bitcoin's price. It contributes in the scarcity of Bitcoin in the market that plays a major role in its current price. Holding Bitcoin is the most convenient way to earn in the long run. This is very advisable to those who does not know how to trade effectively. By holding, a person could earn just by waiting until the price increases and not taking risks of continuous selling and buying a.k.a trading.
217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How far can Bitcoin go? on: December 06, 2017, 08:39:44 PM
Do not be fooled by the market cap. It is just a mere multiplication of the current price and the total circulating supply and nothing else. Thus, the market cap is not there to dictate the past, current, nor future price but rather, the market cap is there because there is a price.
Simply saying, there is no limit in Bitcoin's price. The price will continue to increase as long as the demand is constantly increasing.
218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Price Sudden Rise on: December 05, 2017, 11:53:30 PM
Hello, y'all.

Its true that bitcoin keeps increasing in value, but I would like to know why the value increase has been better and faster in the last few months and even reaching a new all time high

The base principle of Bitcoin's price rely on the law of demand and law of supply. Since the price increased tremendously quickly these past months it would only mean that the demand for Bitcoin has also increased harshly. If you can notice, cryptocurrency has been so widespread in the social networking sites such as facebook and twitter. And since when we talk about cryptocurrency, the very first that would come to mind would be Bitcoin. This could be a great contributor about the price surge.
219  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can bitcoin reach $15000 mark by first quarter of 2018 ? on: December 05, 2017, 11:10:53 PM
Let's not consider the recent price dip because we all know that it will raise again in sometime but do you think bitcoin will git the mark of $15000 by the end of March 2018?

Very possible. To think that Bitcoin can increase over 1000 USD within days, how much if it would take 3 months? Yes, any thing can happen within those range, however, optimism is the nature of Bitcoin community so an almost 4000 dollar increase within 3 months would be a piece of cake. Hell, I'm expecting 15k within this year Grin
220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rulers Can ban Bitcoin through the entire Earth! on: December 05, 2017, 10:01:52 PM
We Know That We Have High Personalities that control each Country and They are The Officials Of United Nations Leaders, What Do you Think, if they Ban Bitcoin in every country, for the Reason that bitcoin is Decentralized and can make FIAT Disappear. What can You say about it? as an Individual Bitcoin User?

Even though there are unions exist such as European Union, United Nations, or whatever global organization whose goal is to unite every country, there are still stubborn leaders of certain country that would object to some of these unions. So it is impossible to make each and every country to ban Bitcoin since many countries are supporting it as of this very moment. Banning Bitcoin is only possible in several countries but will never be worldwide.
