is 2017 the new 2013?

[Gliassa]

It looks like it is indeed, the fact is that the bitcoin is doing great things right now and the price is rising too the moon and back.

Do not think so. Otherwise, the price has to rise 50 times.

The price is already 1140 dollars.

[Amph]

it's far better, the increase is steady strong and slowly, how it should be, in 2013 it was furious and unstable, which is how it should never be, and was heavily manipulated

this increase look more genuine and will last longer, or will set the new bottom if not already, but i doubt we can reach high value likt $5k+ by increasing so slowly, at some point we need another pump at least 2x

[abdulaziz07]

It can go anywher depends on ETF news.... $2000 possible & $750 also

For the last two months bitcoin price has been dancing somewhere in the 1000 range.
I do not see that this is an overheated market like in 2013.
That bubble exploded within days there was no boouncing up and down over months.
At the moment, even if bitcoin falls again a little bit, you always find very soon people who consider the new lowered price as cheap.
That means the demand is really there, not a speculation. I say the developement is solid.

Agreed. 2013 was just an explosion that resulted in, well, 2014 *shudder*. The rise from 2016 and now continuing into 2017 is very stabled compared to the very fast, unstable rise back in 2013. I think at this point we'll never see below $900 again.

Yeah you are right in 2013 people blindly invested in bitcoins and after that there was such a big crash. I think reaching 5k is a lot but if you see the steady growth of it I think by end of this year bitcoin will easily be $2500+ or it will hit the $2000  mark for sure. The only thing I'm scared about after it reaches that amount if there is a panic selling it will take lot's of time for it to be stable again.

[SvenBomvolen]

2016 is over, and the mass use of Bitcoin or Blockchain we didn't see. As the frenzy in the mass media slowed down some people may think that nothing happens in the field of cryptocurrency. In this year, the adoption of Bitcoin will be extended, and should appear some new Blockchain based technologies. If you look at the statistics, you will realize that Blockchains demonstrate a promising growth trend in the near future will seriously change the area of property rights, security and the rule of people around the world.

The bitcoin price will rise gradually. there will not be big spikes like that happened in the 2013.

[BrewMaster]

i don't know who bumped these couple of rather old topics from last month but it is an important lesson to anybody who is reading this board.

Most of what people say here is bullshit wrong. and mostly they spread FUD.
i feel good that my views all these years have never been changed!

Since bitcoins are distributed well to "different persons" globally, we can say that to provoke a manipulation, it really needs a hard effort since big whales must inject a large amount to pump the price or sold a lot to dump the price. And still not an assurance that people will follow the trend.

In here we can really see the difference of the hype happened in 2013 to the current hype that is currently running today at 2017.

People response is one of the reasons why we are sitting on the price today.

You joined the party too.

It is possible that the price will rise a lot this year.

[abdulaziz07]

I dont know what exactly happens in 2013

but this time, its a stable btc move from past 1 year and it goes on increasing without any throttle..
I wont get shocked, if it reaches $2000 this year

[hase0278]

The current rise in price really does look like 2013 and 2014 pump dump, but I think this time there won't be 2014 since even if it dumps I think it will stabilize to an amount greater than 400$ but I might be wrong. When my speculation happens most likely the thing we see now is not like 2013 and history won't repeat itself for now I think.

[Apened]

I think is more on like 2014 but we dont assure if something big happens .It may change in a month .bitcoins is to volatile to be predicted .

Volatility is a major concern and in reality anything could happen in a short time frame without any prior indication of the price variation. Possibly as users quoted the price this year is quite good to move forward in a stable manner. Also the price fluctuations are not same as that happened in the past 2013.

[Mr.grin]

Well, I think this is a new 2013, but this is a real price and not manipulated. The price has stabilized for a very long time, I'm sure it will be a new thing for bitcoin, because bitcoin prices can reach $ 2000 or even higher than that price.

I agree with you. Bitcoin has become much more stable over the years. And now there is no reason to repeat the scenario of 2013. Now many investors have invested their money in bitcoin. It's not such a bubble as in 2013
