Kim Dotcom Predict 2000$ per Bitcoin ??!!

[Vhern]

Even so a man need to save BTC what will happened if his prediction turned out right, a lot of money we could make from earning BTC

I like the idea of buy bitcoin now while it is cheap, however I don't have a fiat money to convert in BTC I am only earning BTC online, so nevertheless I hope that this prediction turned good to be true.

I thought 2000 usd is a piece of cake for bitcoin in 2016 but it looks I need to postpone that goal to 2017 thanks to bitfinex scandal.

bitfinex is not the only problem. most people were expecting a much higher price after the halving. and scaling seems to be a problem still.

so true . sometimes all according to plan. anything can still happen, things that are not taken into account previously. while things have certainly become uncertain. the world of bitcoin  it is very unique.

this could be the next big spike like the $1000 one was. and the next big downfall. and the next couple of years of consolidation

And most people seem to forget that we had huge ~30% price rise right before halving and only very slight spike right after it.
If not that bitfinex hack we would have stable $700 by now and possibility of $1000 wouldn't be that far fetched.

I think the next spike will be from $600 (current level) to $10,000. If you remember, in 2013 we had the spike from $60 to $1,250 in less than a month's time (although part of that spike can be attributed to the order book rigging by Mark Karpelès and the other Mt Gox staff). The potential is there, let's just hope that it will happen.

As far as I know (even If I wasn't there when this happened) , the whole pump happened because the willy bot and nothing else.

Nah Kim is just talking.
That guy always had a big mouth when pushing his projects.
I pretty sure we will not see the $2000 range next year.We won't be even close to that. If someone could guarantee me a price of $1000 to $1300 I would be totally happy and more than satisfied.
Kimble is and always had been a pumper.

yes mate 1k to 1300$ would be enough for next year if support coming from big investors will come on our way bitcoin will be more recognized by then and will attract more and more interest coming from those who's not yet in this business kim's mouth will have some impact but not that much as he already have known for what he is.

The year has not ended yet ...
Seriously, $2000 is four times more than the current price. Looking at the history of Bitcoin price, I think to achieve $2000 it will pass some more years away until we see this price level.

That's a mighty high goal for something that maxed out at $760-ish during the best time and then slowly drifted downwards. I personally don't think that there was any potential to break even the ATH let alone $2000 this year, maybe in the next few years depending on the market. There is going to be a pretty big mental barrier around $1,000, and I don't know if the market would be interested in breaking that milestone unless there was a massive bull run going.

Nope.. I was active in BTC-e at that time, and I remember what happened. There was a surge in interest from China, starting from late-November. That was the trigger. The Mt Gox guys rigged their order book in early December, and after that we were noticing huge spreads between the Mt Gox and Btc-e exchange rates. At one point, the spread increased to $150 per coin ($1,050 per coin in Mt Gox, $900 per coin in BTC-e).

So what happened... a lot of guys deposited fiat in BTC-e, purchased coins there and moved these coins to Mt Gox. They sold their coins in Mt Gox, but Mt Gox refused to credit the money to their bank accounts. Everyone lost their investment.

bitfinex is not the only problem but bitfinex is really the problem,if bitfinex just having better security than just a garbage security,the price of bitcoin will remain 600$ or upper,and also bitfinex's mistake just make so many people losing money by cutting off their balance about 36%,definitely big problem

it wasn't all willy bot's work but it did most of the work.
also today, willy bots still exist. it is not really rocket science to be a big exchange service and manipulate the market like that back in 2013 ish. the only difference would be the fact that there are more than one big exchange site and more willy bots working.

Lets not thought kim Dotcom of his predict, this could take place in the future who knows....been hearing conversation about this...though it might seem untrue untill we see it in taking place action...it might be true to what kim...though btc value changes, but still we can see rise...

atleast he's backed up his statement/speculation with some plan and action,he'll release bitcache so it does make sense if he's speculating,although i'm sure this service might give an affect to bitcoin,beside of it, whether it'll be success or not it's all about the time

yes if talking about the highest price was only a matter of time, I am also not sure if the high price to be achieved in a short time, it always takes a long time. but this statement is good, at least make people believe and support by buying bitcoin so quickly achieved a high price.

The statement of Kim doesn't do good, and will not do good. Mainly because some noobs now expect the price to reach $2000 next year. The price will probably not even reach $1000 next year, so imagine what all these disappointed noobs will do. They will put all blame on Bitcoin...

You are right, make predictions very high  can lead to take a bad decision when making an investment, at least by the most inexperienced, for example, those who bought at $1000 each BTC still they have to be disappointed, or worst they sold at a considerable loss.

[coinoclock]

now he is apparently in a fight with McAfee. probably with no outcome but they make some waves in the press. i don't think this will have also an effect on the price unless something big happens there.

Scaling can be a way of retarding / slowing down the rise for the right moment they want it to happen.
