$2000 within 2015

[inca]

It might be a touch and go.... $2000/BTC is unsustainable at current mining reward rates ($7.2 million rewards a day, ~$200 a day per 10TH/s at current difficulty), considering most large-scale miners are short-term profiteers.

1200 was unsustainable

The point with bitcoin is that the price moves in bubbles, not linear growth. A high exchange price can be maintained for short periods as it and mining costs are only loosely correlated.

$2000 this year? No.  Four digits again some time next year seems likely to me.

[lottery248]

ok.
at least $1000

[tyrexs]

dont make a joke dude $2000 in 2015 it's impossible. maybe price can rise fast and drop fast too. seems you must wake up in your dream

You will be surprised to see how some people would be willing to sell their coins even for a small profit margin. That includes also the miners. But that's not the point. What I want to say is that as long as people cling on to that mentality, bitcoin price can never move anywhere. There will be resistances at every level.

We just need to hold and aim high.

well, you are partly right. but you can't blame people to take profits once they think it's the right time to sell. no matter how low or high their profit is. most people chase quick profits. holding for the longterm for them is way too difficult. they will sell as soon as they see they made profit.

resistance is good it's what the market need to solidify troublesome position, like those mental barrier walls, 300, 500 ecc....

in fact if your theory had been correct , we should remain at below 100, instead we are at 250-275 and we have a very solid floor now

I think a 4 figure goal is possible during this year, there's still about half of the year to go, a lot of stuff can happen in such a long time (for BTC 6 months is an ethernity). We'll see if we have a panic buy period during Xmas, it has happened before. But yes, realistically 2016 is the year of the 4 figures, the halving is going to deliver an epic pump.

2000 USD in 2015?

I'm a long term HODLER & about as bullish as it gets (without being deluded) but 2000 USD per coin is not happening in 2015, no way. Unless a number of huge corporations/organisations/companies start using bitcoin or integrating it into their payment systems then 2000 USD per bitcoin is not happening.

I think we could reach around 700 USD per coin as a result of next years halving but 2000 USD per coin is not happening for a while.

i dont think so bitcoin can reach to 700 in this year, maybe the highest price is 400 if bitcoin can survive

I think you have misconceptions about the term bullish if you do not believe 2000$ can happen in 2015.

Your line of thought explain exactly why you cannot conceive this number. Bitcoin will not rise in price because of corporate adoption of its "payment system". It will rise as a speculative store-of-value trading on commodity markets.

We need only a microscopic fragment of worldwide equity and fund markets exposure for Bitcoin to reach this type of valuation. When approved the Nasdaq ETF should propel us way beyond that.  

[gerXhonza]

I will answer for your poll.

Bitcoin will not go to $2000 within 2015 or any other following year, halving or not makes no difference imo.

ok.
at least $1000

You should have edited the title to reflect your new thinking mate.

Nope it will not go to $1000 this year either

it can happen as a insubstantial rise like it was for 1200, but it would crash hard afterward, like it happened in the past, i'm expecting many insubstantial rise like 1200 or 32(i don't remember the exact number) in 2011

so reaching 2k or 10k from here until the halving is certainly possible, but then don't cry if we crash to the previous level

It will be good if we will see this year, the price of 350$  $ 2,000, you need to wait a few more years.

i agree, $2000 within year 2015 seems a large target to reach. i there is to be a rise it think $1000 and sub 1000 is way more realistic than $2000. especially that a lot of long term holders would sell their coins way before $1000 which won't let the price go that high.

i guess if it were to go to those heights the time-frame of mid 2016 would be more possible especially because of the block reward halving.

$350? We were within touching distance of that last week.
All it will take is one push to get the price there.
