What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017?

[qwertyup23]

Nobody knows how many users have made their choice in favor of a new currency. In any case the outflow of capital and therefore, at some time, the rising price of bitcoin may be suspended. View. The wait is long. By the end of August all will become clear I think.

We never know because it's decentralized and we don't know how many wallet one person will do, but the only thing that is obvious now is the growing volume of bitcoins and when the price dump there will be a big pump that come. In addition, there has been greater news from all over the world about possible adoption of businesses which will just make it more excited in holding our bitcoins in the future.

Last January 2017, the price of bitcoin was around $1000~ and right now even with the fork, the price of bitcoin is roughly $2700. Not even one year has elapsed, the price of it almost tripled and I assume that by the end of 2017, the price may reach around $3000-3500. Now is really a good time to hold all bitcoins and not convert it to fiat (unless the need arises). Bitcoin's popularity is also growing steadily and this attracts more investors and people around the world on earning extra income. Hopefully by the end of 2017, more retailers are going to accept btc as payment for various merchandises and services.

Ongoing year is one of the most important year in the history of entire digital currency as well the bitcoin. As the splitting has taken place by the right time expected, nothing big has affected the growth. So possibly a price pumping can be expected before the month end. The price might reach as high as $4000 by the year end and the possibility can be confirmed once after few weeks from now.

That's right and even today the price of bitcoin seems to be pretty good and we can expect the same in coming months too and if everything goes fine then I don't think that there would be any problem in touching the price of $4000 at the end of the year.

I expect more than $4,000 by the end of the year, with the development that has been happening now I am sure we can expect a good progress with bitcoin. Not only with bitcoin but with some good altcoins as well, with the progress of both it will make a great market and more investors will be attracted and usually since it's a new market aggressive investors will surely not gonna miss this kind of opportunity.

My expectation in 2017 is bitcoin the price reaches $ 2000 / coin.
Because the needs of the economy at this time is always increasing.

My expectation in 2017 is bitcoin the price reaches $ 2000 / coin.
Because the needs of the economy at this time is always increasing.

Now expectations of $ 2000 / coin have been passed, and the next stage is to reach $ 4500 before the year ends, and I'm optimistic it will be achieved so this is a good opportunity to buy bitcoin.

$2000 this time has been gone, right, but your expectation about bitcoin growth very high. Because you could see only few months left the end of the year, but still bitcoin stop at $2708. I definitely think that bitcoin would be reached at $3000 not more than it. Bitcoin would be stop at the end of this year at $3000 and  about $4500 it is hard for bitcoin to reach at it.

Now with the fork, all my attention has gone towards seeing if both blockchains are going to be here for the long haul.

I have this feeling that Bitcoin is going to be here to stay as more of a storage of value, and Bitcoin Cash may come in for the day to day transactions and smaller purchases.

I'm not sure how the fees are in comparison to one another, but this seems like a way that both could flourish.   

[richkellj]

I think by the end of 2017 bitcoin after all these events on August 01 a little shock, after which its course will continue to increase smoothly and reach up to 3000 - 3500 dollars. In fact, the events of August 1 with the BCC branch on him should not be affected.

Another point is that the August 1 event has proven how strong Bitcoin is. Many posts has even declared it the end of Bitcoin, with lots challenges, many people withdrawing their funds and so on. But after all these, Bitcoin is still up and running. I believe very soon it will hit $3000, and is likely to reach up to $3500.

I believe so too. With the emergence of a forked Bitcoin, things might change for the better as people split ways into using a currency which best meet their needs. Now, there would be the option of using an extremely fast cryptocurrency as digital cash, while Bitcoin remains as a store of value compared to digital gold.

In my eyes, both chains might survive for the long term, just like Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. It will only be a matter of the market to decide which will be the most prominent and widely accepted chain, to keep moving the crypto economy.

As for Bitcoin Cash, it's now the third largest cryptocurrency in market cap and it may continue to make strides if there is a large community suppporting it. But one thing for sure is that, it will never replace the original Bitcoin as it has greater acceptance among the big exchanges, businesses, and investors.

Soon, Bitcoin will rise to $5,000 while Bitcoin Cash follows eventually surpassing Ethereum and becoming the second largest cryptocurrency in market cap. The possibilities are endless here in crypto land. Just my thoughts

I think that it will reach an incredible size. It is growing every day in price! By the way, there is an interesting channel where the projects are laid out:

I agree that bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency and no one can know clearly about bitcoin. All news about bitcoin are just assumptions and no one can authentically claim for bitcoin future, but it is clear that total bitcoin in the system are 21 million and according to expert ~75% of bitcoins have been mined yet and 25% left. So it may be clearly assumed that a race for the rest of bitcoin would be hard and it is expected that at the end of this year all the bitcoin may mined.

2017 has been a good year for bitcoin...it grows and benefits a lot of users and investors...we are now heading almost the last quarter of 2017 and I would say it is merely a successful year for crypto currency and I believe bitcoin will continue to prosper..I am positive that the value will still appreciate before the end of this year and more opportunity for investment and income will come for all of us

This is good to see and to prove all that there Iis one bitcoin only and always will be,  rest are alts and like alt never will be bigger or better then bitcoin.

As we enter 2017, Bitcoin begins with a fresh start making it worth nearly $1000 per coin. Users, banks, and even governments are becoming more interested into Bitcoin, and its underlying technology called the Blockchain.

well, new year and fresh starts are only a mentality thing and not what happens. we are on the same path as we were before (it is a good path) and besides in many countries it is still the same year since many celebrate different days for new year.

Now, as we progress into making Bitcoin more scalable and efficient than ever, I would like to know what are your thoughts for the pioneer cryptocurrency in 2017?

If all goes well for Bitcoin this year, it might increase its value more than $1000, as well as become closer to being used as a mainstream currency. What do you think? 

I believe like last years, this year we will see more price rise after this volatile period which is also full of panic sellers ended. and we will also see los more mainstream attention and hopefully some real adoption this year.

yes, i also think that price range will rise and rise.  I hope that bitcoin can be last in more years. Hopelly bitcoin cannot be die and the price will be at normal like this year.

[faceoff97]

There are increasing number of bitcoin user/holder in various countries, its getting more and more popular which is one factor why it increase in  value.  Basically, there are more investors joining the bitcoin craze. Probably the change will reach up to $2,000. From the past month we have seen the unpredictable change of value which make newbie panic, but Bitcoin become more stable despite of sudden chabges. By the end of 2017, we can expect great things from bitcoin. Probably the time to buy and sell, from the last 2 years bitcoin become so crazy for making a million dollar easily earn. We can expect for its continuous growth for the next year. (Note: bitcoin is still unpredictable, be wise and watchful on managing your investment and earnings.

Bitcoin will last for a lot of years because we can see the evolution of bitcoin and the fork is successful for bitcoin and it makes the bitcoin stronger even there is another coin (bitcoin cash). Bitcoin price will continue because the coverage of legality of bitcoin is getting bigger and bigger and that is the cause why bitcoin will become a very successful invention that has been made by a genius person called satoshi nakamoto.

I think the same. Many things will get clear in the end of this year.
I don’t think so people are going to switch to any other currency in the presence of bitcoins. As far as the price of bitcoins is concerned, it will take a huge leap in the closing weeks of August attracting more users.

[sandrun]

In 2017 bitcoin was amazing. Bitcoin prices continue to rise and make this coin very popular in the world. Bitcoin becomes a pioneer for other coins. I am sure the price of bitcoin in the future will be more expensive. People in the world will invest a lot of bitcoin. And make bitcoin as a means of payment in every business. I believe bitcoin will do that in the future

[supandi wiharja]

I think by 2017 bitcoin prices continue to rise, maybe this year will be a good year for bitcoin.
In my country there are many users who keep following about bitcoin, i predict the number of users will continue to increase.
The price of 1 btc can penetrate 45 million rupiah in my country .. and maybe the price will continue up and down.
So users should be able to cope with unstable prices..

[dreamer81]

So many people are trying to predicts the price of bitcoin. I say no more. Stop all the voodoo stuff, and look at the tech instead!

Nowadays Bitcoin is not actually used for daily transactions, may be bound to anything else but if it becomes a reality everyone understands Bitcoins how they use Debit or Credit Cards, Other Virtual monetary, then Bitcoin will be the ideal choice from small to large payments by using good advantage like the speed of transactions within the lightning network. In that case, Bitcoin should be introduce to people like Credit Card holders, Tech savy individuals and attracting both new and old investors into the Cryptocurrencies that has the potential to take place of monies that's in our wallets right now. And its price would certainly rise and would rival mainstream payment processors such as PayPal, Visa, MasterCard etc.
