Bitcoin prices could leap to $2000 in 2017?

[BitFinnese]

I think that bitcoin price can go up to 2000 $. I`m optimistic, in last 6 months after bitfinex collapse price recovered pretty fast, and its going up since then. There were couple drops but nothing significant in my opinion. Price will get to 2000 $ eventually, I`m not sure will it happen this or next year, we need to be patient and not rush with conclusions.

I am also an optimistic person, but I think to hit 2k USD this year, we need the ETF approval to push the price much higher.  If ever this ETF is disapproved I am a bit worry that price would fall down to sub $1000, anti-climatic event resulting to bubble-burst that will burn people that bought BTC at higher price.

what if the 2 speculated dates that should affect a recent price hike/slide were postponed. How will the market react to the demand and supply. The agitation is affecting the market and cant think through the outcome for other coins. Have argue a price of stable $1500 by June except the dates make it remarkable.

I think the bitcoin price has been already affected.

It's not only bitcoin that goes up, a lot of the altcoins go up as well.
At some point investors will start to withdrawl their profit.
And that withdrawl could be either fiat or bitcoin.
I think that during 2017 a lot is possible, even if the ETF outcome is negative.

as I said The bitcoin will lead to 1,500$ in June then it will turn back 1,000$ or 1,100$ before hitting 2,000$ in the enad of this year.
so we are waiting for new correction in March , 2017 because of bitcoin withdrawal from China.

Because the demand of bitcoin users is quite strong so it will hit at least 1500$ in September, 2017 and it could reach at 2,000$ at the end of this year. Do you think if  Bitcoin price will be available at 10,000$ in the year of 2020? Just image that you have 100 bitcoins at that time. yes, it must be awaesome.

Wow, nice prediction! Lets hope for the $2000BTC.. Lets continue to pump and dump. Hope more Bitcoin users for this year.

There is so much possible on the upper side of bitcoin price in 2017, I have no clue where we are heading.
There is the ETF decision, the high transaction fees, the slowed down transaction times, the increasing competition of altcoins.
But if everything goes not in favour of bitcoin, I still don't think we will fall far beyond the 900$ level.

Up of course. Especially when the ETF gets approved. It will get covered by the mainstream media basically everywhere in the world. It's positive news that people will see, instead of the negativity that media channels usually tend to spread when it comes to Bitcoin.

the high transaction fees

Just adapt to the situation by including proper fees, and you won't notice much of a problem.

the slowed down transaction times

Transaction times are near-instant. I assume you refer to the confirmation times that may take longer than usual to come through, because people stick to the low fees they have been using since way back. Again, just adapt to the situation by including proper fees.

the increasing competition of altcoins.

This has only effect on altcoins "battling" against each other, and not on Bitcoin itself.

But if everything goes not in favour of bitcoin, I still don't think we will fall far beyond the 900$ level.

At this point only a fake hack (i.e. inside job) of an exchange can get the price to sink that deep.
