I think bitcoin can reach anywhere between 15000 and 22000 by the end of January, now since it's bitcoin and unpredictable anything is possible although to be quite frank I'm quite surprised by Ethereum performance during January!

December happens to have a few holidays "New years Eve" and Christmas, so It's not that surprising that during this month especially near the holidays bitcoin started to dip as people buy others gifts and luxury items, . I'm guessing it will continue to fall till 2018. Lets not forget that the bitcoin fall has a huge snowball effect a lot of newbies into crypto as they get scared and sellout based on their emotions which isn't the way to go.

When it happened, bitcoin itself was at around 4000-5000$ but now that it's at around 13000 I highly doubt it.. I still believe 10000$ is a benchmark for a lot of investors.. Although in the end of the day It's bitcoin an unpredictable cryptocurrency.

I think you forgot to add a zero in the title 

Believe it or not this is actually a good lesson to learn better sooner than later. Also regarding
I agree I feel like the lightning network will have a positive impact on BTCs price. Lastly It's more than normal for bitcoin to fall I hope the newbies learn about price corrections and educate themselves more about the technology in hand (Blockchain...) and not only look as bitcoin as wallet pump.

Back in mid 2010 Bitcoin was just a few cents as more people/organizations caught the attention of bitcoin it started to grow especially during this recent year which lead to a lot of demand. It was at around 1000$ this January and now trading over 12k It's a currency the reason It's not like other currencies is because it only has 21 million currently only 16M+ are in circulation. And lets not forget the mining difficulty that requires more hash to mine as more bitcoin are mined also causing the price to increase as miners do not want to lose $ from electricity as mining won't be profitable if electricity costs more than BTC.

I don't think it will go below 10 000 it might for a short period of time, but 5000$? that's too unreasonable. Also he mentioned next 6 months.. if Anything next 6 months it won't be any where near 5000$ feel free to quote me :3

It could be people wanna cash out on some holiday gifts for their family/loved ones, or some sort of price fix as bitcoin has been on the rise in these past few months. Long term if you hold bitcoin you have nothing to worry about.

I think It's good for bitcoin, no such thing as bad publicity.. The more people that hear about bitcoin and how great it's performing the more that end up getting hooked and curious thus joining and increasing the size of the bitcoin community always new money coming in tends to benefit crypto in general not only by price but also by great support!

Possible, but they signed it proving ownership of the address https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/c44ad5f83ddc84d08967c7652311f0a23aafa8e54d7db0911a2c7b5bc20ff988/
Also according to the article in op they have already donated to the past on multiple occasions so I don't see why they would fake it now. Last point I don't think It's a "whale" could be a group of multiple people.

I would support if it can be done in a decentralized way like the private keys would be stored offline and not touched I also wonder if they would take into account future/past forks since It's inevitable to expect more BTC forks.

I think 30000 seems a bit too high since it would need to gain an extra 50% to reach that however I'd go with 24000 also Bitcoin futures is going to play a slight role on the price of btc might even cause a little pop at first but eventually btc will recover.. It always does

If you're asking where PLY tokens can be exchanged, then you should check out Etherdelta https://etherdelta.com/#PLY-ETH
or Decentrex https://decentrex.com/#PLY-ETH I'm sure PLY will be listed on more exchanges in 2018!

My apologies if this has been asked before, Just curious on when the TGE is scheduled to end?

Same drop happened earlier today It went as low as in the 12 thousands but It's back at 15000 now. I guess the price correction was expected as it hit 17000 I wonder if it's going to get corrected tomorrow.

Have you tried increasing the transaction fee, transactions which are higher than the capacity of a block get stuck in a queue for confirmation by btc miners and they favor the higher fee payers don't worry though.. eventually your transaction is gonna get confirmed.

More recognition is always nice I was quite surprised when they mentioned it in the big bang theory and other shows It's nice to see Bitcoin getting more attention! As for advertisements maybe advertise blockchain technology in general

Sending and withdrawing to another exchange costs fees and bitcoins confirmations aren't all that fast.. so by the time your funds arrive the price might have already got corrected on that exchange. What you could do is split your funds between the exchange and do it simultaneously 

25000 seems a bit too off, but in the end of the day It's bitcoin and unpredictable.. but I'd say 25000 is more than possible in January 2018

Percentage gains, look for a ROI that suits your needs and wouldn't advice to "Cash out" you can always withdraw a portion and hodl the rest since you never know it might go even higher and by holding you are increasing the value of bitcoin since there is less being offered. : )

Agreed if they actually do end up accepting Bitcoin as a payment then I'm certain many other big companies will hop on the wagon and do the same thing It will allow more people to know about bitcoin and show the public that it has normal uses other than what the media is painting it to be some sort of dark drug currency. And with more people using btc inevitably would lead to an  increase in price
