Is 2015 The Year?

Warren Buffet is a decrepid old man. The best investment of all times would have been to register domain names back in the early 90's. Warren Buffet has no idea about technological breakthoroughts because he doesn't know how to use a computer. He's hanging around with Floyd May or not Mayweather those days, enough says.

he's an old fart who should just shut up and start wrapping up his shit on this planet before he leaves it

2015 target: 17 777$ per bitcoin

maybe in the alternative universe...but it is OK to contemplate such things

with BTC at 17777, it's market cap would be ~259.5 bil (with ~14.6-14.7 coins by the end of the year) and implied market cap (based on 21 mil coin)-$373 bil-a size of Google or 1/2 of Apple.

yes, and I'm choosing that alternative universe.

I think there is an outside possibility that this could come true, but I think there are too many people that have just recently heard about bitcoin and are just waiting with their fingers on the trigger to jump in.

[ajareselde]

The fact that there are increasing numbers of merchants alone cant rise the price too high alone, but the fact that there is interest in the technology is definetly promising.
I personally doubt that bitcoin will go to a sharp rise, or a bubble within 2015, but rather in the early months of 2016, before the halving, and it will again be mostly driven by speculation.
Its even better in the longrun to keep current prices, but to gain more liquidity, so that in cases of big cashing out, that doesnt reflect on price the way its reflecting now. That is the healthiest way for bitcoin to go,
and those traders/holder that are interested in sharp rise and volatility are no friends to bitcoin, because they will drop their bags and sell their souls if that brings them profit, and in the end were left with
even worse situation than before.

2015 is going to be HUGE for bitcoin and crypto, you wait and see.

Anyone who thinks otherwise should get out now!

Get educated as a whale watcher and change your thinking, then you'll know the real secrets to make bank.

It takes worldwide financial crysis to be back. Which will happen soon, combined with 2016 BTC halving, I think we will see 10k $ in no time.

Don't you think Bitcoin is bigger, more important advancement than Google and Apple (all together). Me I just think like that. Bitcoin is unstoppable.

If you ask me, I would say, I don't think so. Whatever the outcome, eventually everything still goes back to the basic supply and demand factor. As long as demand has not catch up, and supply is going to be the same as it is, the price will drown. My only hope is when the halving took place which is suppose to happen some time next year.

if we can replicate end 2013 and then with 2016 early 2014, it would be good, but the trend seems uncertain, too many whales playing, and the price is stuck there

We can't do nothing but wait and watch as we are not major players in the market, we can only hope for the best, and I have big trust on bitcoin being a success.

2013 was the year of Bitcoin.

2013 was the year of Bitcoin.

Especially if you bought into both pumps (in April and December), traded on Silk Road and used MtGox as your main exchange. 
Bitcoin is doing fine and if you make the right decisions every year is a good one. As long as Bitcoin exists there's money to be made.

Sorry but it goes more like this:

"As you said, at a certain point we'll find a stable price"
^^^ Yes, and that price will be at low double/single digits, which will take a few years. By that time, everybody will be starting to adopt semi-centralised technologies that work in a similar way as the blockchain to move fiat currencies (like the IBM adept project or others), taking what's useful about this whole crypto movement (a distributed ledger to move any asset/currency around, and smart contracts ) and discarding the unusable bullshit (bitcoin).

(dumb) VC money in the bitcoin space (which is not a lot of money by the way) will suddenly realise that it has invested in a mini dotcom bubble that is collapsing. Everybody will look at bitcoin as the little volatile, irreversible, non scalable joke that nobody uses or needs aside from drug dealers, speculators, gamblers, and libertards.

Yet here you are. Every. Single. Day.

Give us a break.

The exchange price could be sent back to 1000 for probably as little as twenty million dollars of exchange buying. What is that in the context of 500 million dollars of VC money flooding into the scene in the last year and a half. And you think these guys don't want a return on their money and are 'dumb'?

10,000 other random guys like me buying bitcoins each month are currently enough to buy up the entire mining supply. Next year after the halving that drops to just 5000.

That is the real reason you are here though right? Or do you post endless negative tripe on other enthusiast fora for other things you think will fail?

2013 was the year of Bitcoin.

You were here in 2011 bearish on bitcoin when it was 2 dollars. I would imagine you don't want to think about 2011 being the year of bitcoin. You have so much bitterness towards bitcoin (because you had the chance for wild riches and blew it by being cynical) that you will never be taken seriously on this forum Nagle.

[bitcoin1992]

Only when those of us confident enough about higher prices hold them can the higher price be sustained.

[cooldgamer]

Personally, I'd rather have a stable price than have it 'bounce back'.  However, with technologies like Tether coming along, you can still use BTC without actually having to deal with the price swings.  Bitcoin should be seen as more of a tool than a long-term investment IMO.

As for if I think it will, not really.  We'll see some rallies and some dips, but nothing like the China bubble we had.

i don't really agree, 2013 wasn't the first time where bitcoin went high, i recall 2011 was the same x20 increase in price

based on this one can suppose that basically every two years bitcoin go BOOM, so next one should be this year

[pattu1]

If I remember right, 2014 was the first year Bitcoin actually went down.
Until then, people thought Bitcoin always moved up during a calendar year.
So there is always a first time.
