$2k in january

[Zaun]

I'm hoping it goes the other way so I can buy more! 

Yeah me too I really like that bitcoin is going up, but is just to expensieve to buy.
I would like that in january will just go down and with that I can buy and later I will just want to go higher.

[mirana12345]

we must consider if the OP is talking "as a stable value" or "as a peak" because the latter is more feasible of course and utterly possible even in january

insubstantial rise are very much unpredictable it could skyrocket to 3 k in january for all we know to return at the current value 1-3 months later

I would also like to believe that, but the reality is that even expecting over 1 k values is maybe too much to ask for January.
The peak will be 2nd quarter next year, i believe, and sadly it's also most probable that it's only going to last for a short period of time, driven purely by speculation.

why do you think that the block reward halving will have this kind of effect on price?

We have the previous block halving to go by and we also have other alt coins to go by.  People are invested in the network before halving and after halving they change nothing, so the price goes up since the supply is less.

Market prices incorporate information as soon as this information is available. The future supply of Bitcoin is completely transparent. All market participants are able to react now.
A price movement only happens when new information enters the market place. The halving is not new information and should therefore be reflected in the price already.

Generally, the supply of anything being cut by 50% will spike the price

I drink beer so if I am told by the brewery there will be 50% less supply of beer in the world every day after next June..... I will buy a pile of it before that...... But maybe not yet

A month or two before June I would buy it....

2020 - 2025
Until that year we'll stay just where we are 400 - 700..

I think that around the year 2016 to 2020 the bitcoin price will be just go to 700 - 1200 dollars.
I think that is better to say that than 400 to 700 dollar for me is to low. I just want that bitcoin will just go higher.

[P4ndoraBox7]

Drop in January.

[Amph]

Drop in January.

yeah possible, but only as a price correction, because of a previous pump that increased too fast

we might assist at another good amount of big dump before reaching 1k+ as a new stable vlue

You never know with bitcoin, it's too soon to say what will happen in the upcoming years.
I agree with you that between now and 2020 bitcoin will stay around $700 - $1200, I'm okay with this, I could always sell if I need some fiat.

[HarryKPeters]

January will be interesting. I suspect the first week it will be all postive.
Then investors become realistic and will sell like never before. If that happends, we should expect a 350 usd rate or so.

But i hope for a 400 usd low.

Hehe 2k would be great for the economics of the Bitcoin?
Or do you think this will make a panic and several banks will invest in the Bitcoin?

True, price does increase if supply decreases.
However, this price increase does happen as soon as people know about the supply situation. Your brewery told you about the 50% supply cut in 2016 on the day that Satoshi published bitcoin. Since then, no new information about bitcoin supply has entered the marketplace.

That would be so nice if bitcoin reaches $2k by January as like your are predicting there but i don't think price will cross $600 in the month of January there is hope to get stable floor above $500 into next month.

[HostSurf]

I believe this will only be possible if bitcoin will start off with a huge pump. I think that when bitcoin reaches $500 it will go back down to $450, unless there's a small pump coming in I think the highest price it will reach is $700 before the end of this year.

[tn211]

In January it will be just go to 500 dollars I think. It won't go that high for now.
If that was possible than I should have bought now more than 2 bitcoins.

[SatSnatcher]

I would love to see $2k next month..

[MaxTax]

Seems to me a little farfetched right now. I'm happy enough if bitcoin will be at a stable $500 - $600 by the end of January.
But who knows right, maybe bitcoin is able to reach $1000 by then if we get a pump going.

Lol seriously reaching 2k mark is the dream of Bitcoin users but I don't think it's gonna happen anytime may be this time next year it might reach 2k marks I just hopes that it should not drop down rather than increasing.

[ThunderThomas]

Seems a bit too soon for this to happen in January. I think that the highest value bitcoin will be in January is $1000. I don't think we'll even see a $2000 mark next year.
I'm basing this off from how bitcoin has progressed this last year, 2015.

Yeah that is still to high for me 1000 dollars in January I think when we reach 500 this month. In January will just go to 450 dollars. I know for soem people don't want it to happen that goes down, but is better to buy.
It is kinda expensive to me to buy now, I was just hoping after halving that goes up. So that I can buy a lot now.
I hope that it goes down even more so that I can buy.

[Gastotade]

But you will not see the $2k price in the next 3 months. Even if the price touches $2k, it will come down quickly.

[gkv9]

It's very high what we are talking about, but if miners are serious and they won't sell their coins this cheap, then we might see even more than such prices mentioned by OP, i.e.; $2k...

There are chances, but no guarantees when it comes to the price...
