I don't really expect it to occur for another couple years
Even with the halving...
i have the same feeling. i think the halving will lift the price to around $400. not much higher. and even then, will we maintain that price level after the halving? If everyone is waiting for halving, halving wont have any effect. Because, there wont be any buy wall. i think we'll see the price go up considerably a mont or two before the halving as people want to buy in before it's too late. once the halving has taken place it will be interesting seeing what the price will do. currently it's the best time to buy if you plan to hold till the halving.

If people can't stand the heat then they should get out of the kitchen!
Seriously bitcoin is a very risky investment, it always has been. The price will be volatile with periods of stability for a long time yet. If people don't have patience & panic when the price drops a bit then this is the wrong game for them.
Maybe they should put their savings in a shitty bank bond & get 2% interest on it per annum or something similar that people with no balls & no ambition do.
stocks are the same. without people panic selling at lows and buying back at peaks, the market by far wouldn't be as fun as it is right now. some one's loss is an other person's gain.

hopefully not.. i prefer bitcoin with own currency, dollar will be dollar.. better stay like this
I think this as well, let the dollar by itself whether it crashes or not, bitcoin is going to be a parallel money and online payment system. finally people that also think bitcoin is just an alternative to fiat currency. people who think bitcoin will replace fiat aren't thinking in a realistic way. there is nothing wrong with bitcoin being just an alternative.

imo BTC will go down now for a bit
No one knows for sure, it is all sheer speculation (a little bit of this, a little bit of that). But your stash should gain despite the price swings it will stay around the current level for some time. one day it goes up a few bucks, and the other day down a few bucks. too many people are waiting for the price to move.

I am hoping that the price will hit 1000$ again on july 2016 as the amount of reward per block mined will be halved. I have heard this in some thread on forum. Is it true or not?
the block halving will indeed happen in juli 2016. but i'm not so sure if your hopes about bitcoin reaching $1000 become reality.

why is it that important to see namecoin being developed further if it can handle pretty much anything that people currently throw at it. what will happen with the transactions when blocks get filled with data that gets usually stored in the namecoin blockchain but now are pumped into the bitcoin blockchain? delays? low priority transactions getting even lower in priority and have more delays as result?

i try to explain bitcoin to as many people that i know as i can. but you have to accept that some of them are simply not interested in it. and the people who are insterested will get more in depth information about purchasing their first coins, the wallet, how the network works, and what the minders do.

lets hope your predictions are accurate, i would definitely buy some bitcoins if i was sure it will grow to at least 1000 not even talking about 18000
if i was sure the price would increase to at least $1000 i would go all in. if every one was sure of that, there wouldn't be any coins left to buy at current level.

I dont know why people still say bitcoin price will reach 10k,50k,100k without a reason. But if what you have said is coming true i will give you $100 worth in bitcoin
some of the people here clearly don't understand how markets work. i don't even think we'll see bitcoin go over $5000 in the very far future. let's first get the price stable above $300.

5 years from now bitcoin will mainly be at the same price but with much greater adoption.
that doesn't make sense. halving + much greater adoption + price stays at the current level over 5 years = error! i do think we'll see the price be at least $700 in 5 years.

i know debit cards are easy to pay with worldwide, but i don't like them. not the regular cards and also not the bitcoin debit card. i am probably one of the very few that don't use a debit card.

i'm not worried about the value of the euro going down even more against the us dollar. can't see it going much lower than current level. we've seen the worst.

I am also well prepared for this hard crash if that would happen than i will buy more coins at cheap price, in fact it is looking much hard to go price under $200.
i have always low buy orders open just in case a flash crash happens. it worked well for me at btc-e with its most recent flash crash. you just need a lot patience.

i solely use the bitcoin core client and before that the qt version for storing my cold wallet coins. the only downside is the slow opening of the client.

Haha, nicely done ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) A bit of humor is sometimes needed around here too... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I agree some humor really helps at these times ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I hope that the bitcoin community stays strong with this whole block size debate. i think everything around bitcoin xt will slowly fade away. don't think many will still talk about it in 2016. it was never going to last long.

No. Not even I have had 0.01 BTC. I think I can't enter to signature campaign. This account have very little post. I even not can talk or write English fluently. This would be sucks when the price go to the moon ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I just have DOGE. farm every faucet you can find. i used to get around 0.005/0.008btc per week from faucets. to me it's not worth it anymore, but in combination with your sig campaign you'll definitely get a decent amount each month.

Real time price Bitstamp 227.76 BTC-e 227.153 Bitfinex 229.71 Huobi 231.23/1472.54 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdFYUNYe.jpg&t=663&c=A_swstM2ckrzrw) i sell my bitcoin at $ 245 i think im still hold my USD and waiting $220 ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) it was an expected drop. bitstamp reached a low of $223.99 while other exchanges didn't follow. even btc-e's low of the day is higher. let's see how strong the $220 level is. i think it will hold.

in theory it could. but it all depends on how user friendly they are. there are bitcoin atm's that require you to follow a certain amount of annoying and time consuming verification steps in order to get your coins. instant buy would be required in order to keep the majority of people happy.

well i use the volume and wait the moment of the altcoin is on medium value soo i enter and wait usually wont sleep with any open order.
The most problem for a trader is the open orders ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I had a bad experience when i got up next morning when i made a trade If you decided to invest in an alt coin, best practice is to research for that coin and then invest when the price you think is cheap. how do you research an altcoin as when it is the best time to invest in it. you can't research when a pump happens. altcoin investments are the same as gambling. you just need luck. there are some group that tell you openly that they are going to pump it, like "fairpump", the problem is that they pump for ridiculous value and you don't know when they dump pump groups let people know they will pump a certain coins after they bought a huge load of coins. they make a little start, and the brainless people who do believe these "pumpers" are buying wortless coins making the price go up a lot. and you know what happens after that, right?

With Bitcoin it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time. Anyone at anytime can verify transactions in the Bitcoin block chain. Currently there are either no fees, or very low fees within Bitcoin payments.
Its just funny that in another thread a guy cried to me about saying that the new bitcoin implementations would push the transaction fee higher. Oh, bot so now we are worried that it goes from 15k satoshi to 30k satoshi, how horrible is that. Meanwhile with the banking industry you pay 400$ + 10% comissions on a large bank transfer. These guys are out of their minds.I wish we only had to cry about a few satoshi price increases, but they fail to realize that the banking industry is way more expensive. The bank fees internationally are very high, if we compare these fee with bitcoin fees then it is just nothing. it's not that bad as it used to be. my bank at the moment handles a 0.1% fee of the amount you want to send to other countries. which is still very high compared to bitcoin, but the bank fees are slowly comming down.
