Bitcoin prices could leap to $2000 in 2017?

[uki]

Well this might be considered fud but I think that the price will rise a lot (maybe more than 2000$) after Kim dotcom will release his new megaupload 2.0 bitcache project

This is this kind of news like many before, something that is supposed to be big, and turns to have only marginal (if at all) effect on the price of Bitcoin.
I wouldn't expect this one to be much different either, sorry to disappoint you.

last highs were 30, 250, 1100, next one is ?

250 = 8 * 30
1100 = 4 * 250
2500 = 2 * 1100

(very roughly)

so 2200 - 2500 would make some sense.

on the other hand, the fall from 1100 was only caused by Mtgox.

Definitely once 1100 is broken anything is possible. Market cap wise, BTC is still a baby.

Adoption-wise Bitcoin is still a baby as well. Let's first get some more adoption to have a fundamental base for such a growth. Otherwise,we are talking about speculative pump only and this is always hard to predict.

[talkbitcoin]

we can never be sure about the next high price in 2017 and certainly we can not talk about $2000 at this point because it is too far away and is in uncharted waters!

but one thing is for sure, and that is the fact that we will see $1000+ next year and it may be a long and slow rise but it will rise steadily throughout next year.

[DrGuns4Hands]

actually this prediction is suspicious i mean there's no way that bitcoin could actually hit that kind of barrier. right now we're hardly to reach $1000 so its impossible to reach that amount. maybe in 2020 bitcoin could hit that barrier. but not today or next year. we're jsut getting started so just be easy on whatever happening right now and enjoy all the things. 

[machinek20]

I think it will be difficult to reach 2000$, and i think it will be hard to pass 1000$, although there is so many exciting project in 2017, but to reach that high it need a lot of pump and dump

Although I think that it is hardly possible that Bitcoin will hit $2000 mark in 2017 I wouldn't be so pessimistic about the future years. I think it is not so unrealistic to expect $2,000 in 2018, maybe in the second half of the year but BTC can really hit that mark in 2018.

So my prediction of the BTC price for the next two years:

$1,200 - Summer 2017

$1,500 - December 2017

$1,700 - Summer 2018

$2,000 - December 2018

[kacang]

I wish bitcoin price keep rising so $2000 could be true and hope it will bring more people to use bitcoin

It is not about being pessimistic or optimistic. It is about being neutral and not biased in any direction, be it up or down.
I simply don't see enough on the fundamental side to support the current valuation of Bitcoin, let alone, $1k, new ath and then $2k level.
This said, I am not saying it is impossible to reach there, as we already have seen massive pumps in the past. Although, if we have to count on pump in this matter and a pump of such volume, I hold it for very unlikely to happen.

I think if we break 1000 there is a very good chance we could snowball to a new ATH.....

This market  is anything but rational and orderly, especially when it hits the news that bitcoin  has finally surpassed the price of 1oz of gold....

A new ATH will come, just a matter of when imo

Well, I feel that these predictions will be slightly off the mark. I believe in 2017, bitcoin prices have risen to $ 1,000, and I believe bitcoin prices in 2017 will exceed that price. but I believe that the price of bitcoin really high, but the price will not arrive at the price of $ 2,000 at the end of 2018

[bryant.coleman]

250 = 8 * 30

You are absolutely right, when you say that the fall from 1100 was only caused by Mtgox. But at the same time, the rally towards $1,200 per coin was also because of Mt Gox. In reality, Bitcoin never touched the peak of $1,260 per coin. The Mt Gox guys rigged the orderbook, to create a fake spike in the prices. Since Mt Gox was the biggest exchange at that time, the other exchanges such as BTC-e also picked up this rally.

Well, of course, who can be 100% sure about what will happen in the future? That was just my prediction and no way I'm telling anybody to trust it. I can explain why I think Bitcoin will rise so much though. I think we are still in a situation when most people who would use Bitcoin are not using it for different reasons the main of which is the lack of information. This situation for sure will change in the next couple of years and thus the demand will rise and the price will rise accordingly.

[ethereumhunter]

i think it could be possible to be happen in 2017 because we can see that bitcoin is grow and not just for the user, but for the old people, bitcoin have a big value and they realize this and they don't want to be missed this opportunity. but i am not sure when the price of bitcoin will reach to $2000, i will prefer to use this time to make a saving as much of bitcoin as we can.

holding bitcoin did indeed is a way to get a huge advantage. but we are required to have a high level of patience.
bitcoin prices in 2017 will be in the range of 1000USD to 2000USD.

[virasog]

Wow! Is Trump really making some difference ?
Anyway, I think that theoretically the price can rise up to $2000 but it is not very likely to happen. I guess when the price will go some repressions by the governments will occur. I mean, some influential countries can all buy some btc and thus start controlling the price is they act together. Or some people will start to panic because of some stuff. Or, they'll just need the money to spend on daily needs and thus the price won't become more than $1100.

Anything is possible. So I think 2000 dollars is possible, but can't say when it will happen. If more people buy bitcoin, it will appreciate in value and there will also be other people such as miners trying to sell bitcoins to cash in their profits. Governments can implement high taxes to discourage people from using bitcoins. We will have to wait and see how things turn out in 2K17.

[CloudStrife]

Predictions in cypto are always difficult, but if you ask me, I think it is an achievable goal. Since last year, experts were predicting that the price could reach even $ 3000 in the middle of this year.
A few months ago it was more difficult to predict, but now we can see that people are actually waking up for Bitcoin.

[aardvark15]

That's surprising to me that people are speculating that it could get that high but I suppose it's possible. I won't be buying at these prices because I think it's even more likely that we see some kind of pull back.

if the price reaches 2,000$ do you feel regretful about not buying bitcoin at the price of 1,100$.
I saw the buying power is very strong in the chart and I think it will break 1,100$ in 24 hours later.
That is interesting year of bitcoin.

Of course such a price is possible, could even go higher. But it also could come to a fee-event with impact on the price. That's why I consider Bitcoin as a good but very risky bet right now.
