Kim Dotcom Predict 2000$ per Bitcoin ??!!

[Indrawan77]

I am really hoping that it will come true but the possibility of bitcoin reachinf that price is very small, and i personally thinks that it is impossible, the highest point of bitcoin is only 700$, the reason it reach that point is because the halving rumour, unless there is a big breakthrough i am pessimistic that the price is going to reach 2000$

[asriloni]

A bunch of tweets he made in the last few hours :

After seeing the image and appearing one questions about this, and does the bitcoin price is not reached like Kim prediction. is it possible to Kim will getting depressed about their prediction? but this is like a miracle the price of bitcoin can touch more than $2000 for each.

he's amassed a fortune, off the back of raping copyright holders, so no longer needs to defraud people directly.

What fraud? What agreement did Dotcom enter into with the so-called "holders" of the copyright? In what way did he renege this (non-existent) agreement, or deceive the copy-masters (lol) into giving him money? He stole nothing and deceived no-one, so there is no fraud.

Can you explain also, why it is that you cast the situation as Dotcom "raping" copyright holders? Copyright holders became a multi-billionaire privileged class in the 20th century, it's not at all unreasonable to express this the other way around: that Dotcom was giving back to the class that was victimised by the entertainment industry by charging the highest price the market could possibly take. New CD albums used to be upto $20, now they're barely $10. And when it's mostly millionaire popstars and record company executives that feel the brunt of that, I'm kind of siding with the hundreds of millions of music/film fans, not the super wealthy moguls and artists. It's not about being "statist" or not, it's about knowing right from wrong.

That is an interesting counter perspective on Megaupload, Napster, and other early P2P sites. In essence, they somewhat set the precedence for bitcoin and the blockchain.

Tsss.. there are lots of people who are predicting it. So give me some reason why that is special and we should believe in it?

Yes, I've heard it described as Kim DotCom (or Pirate Bay,etc) only provided the medium for the file transfers.
If so, then why should they be held responsible/liable for the contents in those files?
As an analogy, that would be like the Post Office being liable for all the contents in the mail they handle.

[plpbtc1526]

Hmmm. Thats the thing i hope to be happen. But im not sure this could happen in a few months but i hope it will. Is it just marketing strategy to increase the demand of bitcoin? Thats too good to be true.

[OmegaStarScream]

I wouldn't judge him based on his previous actions personally.

Really? In my experience people don't change. I suppose what has changed for him is that he's amassed a fortune, off the back of raping copyright holders, so no longer needs to defraud people directly.

I assume he'd still be contentedly doing that if he hadn't hit the jackpot.

I wouldn't hold him the responsibility unless he uploads the files himself. I mean how could the uploader get away while the owner gets issues ?
It's pretty much like everything else in the world. If we take the Internet, for example , It could be used for both good and bad (for both selling drugs and for helping billions of users every day).

I'm not supporting him honestly but I'm just using common sense and logic + the way how the government got info about him/his servers was never told to the public which makes everyone think that they violated the man privacy.

[ekaterina77]

it could be happen while there is a long journey while it reach in $2000. maybe what Kim predict will be right in future, better watch on the market for real and buy when you want to buy while its down rate for now.

If there is a confidence that in the future will get a good profit, which means that the stakes are very high, then it is really possible to buy when the price is low. But who will give 100% confidence in this venture?

[sempak]

If this is true then this will be great news. bitcoin influence in world financial markets will be taken into account. but for me USD 2000 will not be there in the near future. maybe the next few months could break the bitcoin prices above $ 1,000.

[Betwrong]

Of cores it is wise to not trust him completely, but I think he got a really strong cards in his hand. And his predictions/expectations are not totally groundless.
$2000 might be a little too much, but 1000 after release of Bitcache is pretty much possible scenario. And I totally agree: BUY NOW while bitcoin is cheap!

IMO the price below $600 is very low for Bitcoin and all the people who bought for this price will profit big time. If a man with 500k followers on twitter is saying Bitcoin will be $2000 at least it means something, right?

It's still all a speculation. Nobody can predict it, unless they have the right info (like the magnates can predict Gold price, because they are those controlling it). $2k price would be awesome, and he probably said that because halving rose the BTC price very fast to $1k, it was basically skyrocketing. Now the same thing is going on, probably.

I also agree with this prediction but don't think it will happen soon.
Before this scenario happen, Bitcoin should become more popular, online standard for payments, more popular among merchants and customers and becomes mainstream.
I don't think it will happen overnight, i short time but in 3-5 years it's possible.
I think that BTC users, which show faith and patience now, and don't sell their BTC funds for fast profit, will earn much more later.

you're right $2000 maybe too early even in 2017 , but $1000 still can reached because it's good if bitcoin's price can rising slowly but steady than rising fast and can get down fast too

[rphk]

i believe it will not raise immediate to 2000$ ,it will take more time to reach that level if large people starts buying probably may reach up to 1000$. To reach 2000$ it will take more years and will not happen so soon .

The price could be $1000 this time next year. The price of $2000 could be reach in 18 to 24 months.

Kim Dotcom couldn't be responsible under any circumstances. He was doing what pretty much every computer-savvy person was doing: proving that the right to copy is actually now held by everyone equally.

It's simple: before 20th Century, there were no commercial recording industries, because there was no commercial recording technology. Before that, "stealing" music or stories didn't exist as a concept. Because the ability to control who heard the work was impossible, the idea that the music or stories belonged to anyone was meaningless. The original author was either known or unknown, and that was as much recognition as was realistic.

Fast-forward through the 20th Century, and we witness the rise and fall of the recordings replicators. And what killed them off was good old supply and demand: book/magazine printers, vinyl/CD pressing equipment and VHS/DVD presses all were made more or less redundant by simple PC's on the internet. Where the supply was limited and controlled by the replication technology, the flood gates of perfect digital copies, available in a few minutes, had suddenly opened.

The old culture is almost dead: there are few practical reasons for using the old media, (I'd argue that physical books are the only truly useful old tech remaining) and so in slightly less than 100 years, a multi-billion dollar industry was born, and promptly died. And it's a very good thing: the 20th century celebrity culture that that colossal quantity of cash fueled is nasty, destructive and pointless (apart from the profits). The industrial scale oligopoly, the world-wide adulation and embarrassment of riches turned otherwise ordinary people into self-obsessed navel-gazers, and spawned an army of foolish mimicry. And people like Kim Dotcom and Bram Cohen drove a wooden stake through their collective hearts. Good.

 I dont believe in this prediction, price to triple in less then one year sounds impossible to me. I saw some interesting things about last halving, after 1200$ top, price dropped hard on 200 $. If bitcoin go to 2000 $, probably we will see very big drop after this.
 
 I think we have to many wrong predictions here, people just wrote about some of their wild guesses. I dont believe in most of the things I read here, maybe price can even fall down. I dont know, but at least I`m not pretending that I know something.

I'm always very sceptic about everything Kim Dotcom is saying and doing.
That guy is suspicious and extremely shady is you ask me. Just have a look at his history.
So be careful and don't trust anything coming from his direction.Right now he acts like a pumper.

Price can really go down depending on what will happen and can spike up also if someone buys a lot. We cant be sure and what you are doing is great. Never believe with such predictions and just trust your instincts.

I don't think many people care whether or not he acts like some sort of a pumper as you are saying. People only care about the price to go up. And if this happens to lift the price up, then people are more than happy to welcome everything coming from him.
