people often say miners are the most important, which is true to a certain extent. but having as many people as possible running full nodes is equally as important.

exchanges have proven to be not secure enough and other exchanges have proven to be thiefs. this all is not the fault of bitcoin. not sure why people still don't get it.

There's no guarantee that btc price will go up in the next 10 years. In fact, it can go down to pennies. Remember, what goes up, must come down.
if you look at the all-time chart you can see that bitcoin is actually rising(average rising) every day by a few cent, if this trend continue, bitcoin is aiming at going up and not certainly down most people don't see that as they are mostly focussed on the very short term. they are interested in instant profits only. not in the long term picture. |

never take a price rise for granted. that's a mistake so many people make. and also don't listen to ultra bearish trolls trying to get you to sell your coins.

it might go down a bit more but definitely not below $200 as it had a reason to go below that. unless we see another exchange get robbed i can't see it going below $200 again.

i would indeed like anyone else buy as many coins as possible. not a very difficult decission. i would buy bitcoin with my entire life savings.

don't listen to what people think is the bottom or absolute top. do your own research. once bitcoin goes up again these threads will turn into hyper-bullish mode.

I must admit I am getting very worried, it is under 230 USD now.
When we where at 800, people said that it will never go under 400,
when we where at 400 people said that it will never go under 200.
But 200 looks very realistic, even sub 100.
I don't have too much a stake, but I am affraid that I can not buy my things with bitcoin in the future.
why you are worried? we are already fallen to sub 200, remember the 150-180 range? then we returned fast to the current point sub 200 isn't that scary, the scary thing abnout it is that it could trigger a sub 100, which can be seen as bitcoin being almost dead That would just be crazy, imagine if bitcoin goes to 1 dollar, or even 1 cent. I it will be a very sad world if that happens. Also people will stop doing that mining thing becasue there will be no point. Sad sad. I hope it will stay right here, where it is right now. Constant at 230.00 USD. don't worry about bitcoin being worth $1 as it just won't happen. bitcoin had a bad start this year. right now the price is a normal reflection of all the drama that we went through. |

it's not going to collapse in the comming 50 years as it will affact the entire world when something happens with the us dollar. they will do everything to support it.

PayPal will never start to use bitcoin, maybe not for all the purchase because it is so easy make a chargeback and all we know bitcoin and reversibility can't coexist because it is impossible to reverse a payment (I'm not talking about double-spend). What do you think between ETF and PayPal? Will these news push-up the price (because a lot if people will start to buy more bitcoin)? Or not?
Paypal.com itself may not start accepting Bitcoin, but Paypal the company created (? or acquired?) https://www.braintreepayments.com to give merchants the ability to accept Bitcoin. Thanks for the link, I didn't know that site before now! It seems interesting, in bottom page there is written : © 2008-2015 Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc. All rights reserved. Italy Privacy Policy | Legal | TrademarksSo I think they "are" test"ing" bitcoin as method of payment (and not as only speculation) before add it to the real paypal site (as option). We will see what will happen (but I am not optimistic). i think it won't lead to much optimism by many people. there have been several articles about this subject and still nothing actually has happened. it's more a fantasy right now. |

we must be happy if we see $400 this year it seems. i think it will go down further from current price. bottom might be $200 or maybe just under that. let's first reach $1000 again before talking about $10000

I agree with the OP. I don't know why so many people automatically assume that halving mining rewards would double the price.
Personally I think this is where bitcoin will prove whether it'll succeed or fail. If it doesn't get past the halving, it'll fail. If it does, I think it's very unlikely for bitcoin to fail afterwards. And I'd certainly be willing to take any amount of loan to buy as much bitcoins as possible then, if someone offered to loan me money.
it's simply because they like to see their investment pay off big time. i don't believe bitcoins future depends on the next halving. it will however have an impact on the price. just not as much as people think. |

I think it may be possible, but mostly as a flash crash rather than staying down there or if one of those winners of the Marshall auctions decides to dump their coins.
it wouldn't make sense for the auction winners to dump it below $100 as it is certain that they didn't buy it to lose money. flash crash to double digits is possible if there is really bad news. something like a large exchange closes because hacker/thief stole their cold wallet coins. |

i heard about bitcoin in july 2014 and start earnig it from some faucet and website....then its price is 500$-600$.....now its price is 200$-300$ i read somewhere that bitcoin price goes to 10000$ in upcoming year.... i want to know that it is possible...  bitcoin $10000 upcomming year? not sure where you got this information but your source is not really trustworthy to say the least. i think we're lucky if we see $1000 again, let alone $10000 |

at the time this article was published in march the market didn't even react properly while it was fantastic news. if such news won't get people excited, what else will?
|

it's a combination of everything. miners, whales, and people who are shorting to buy in at a lower price. there is no bad or good news, i guess the market is a bit unsure at this point.

i think banks will create their own blockchain at some point in the future. this way they get all the benefits without dealing with bitcoin. also important is that they can still maintain full control of everything.

op has probably several accounts to post from. if bitcoin goes near $200 then the speculation section will explode with this kind of threads. some people have too much free time...
