What do you think the price of bitcoin will be in 2018

[Roboabhishek]

If the current blocksize war continues and Core stays with 1 MB blocks and without Segwit, we will have ... two Bitcoins in 2018! 

Bitcoin 1 (Core): $20-100
Bitcoin 2 (Unlimited, XT, btcfork or whatever): $20-200

That is pretty bearish, I know, although all bitcoin holders will have tokens in both chains. That's why I urge both parties to find a solution "in the middle" (let's say, 4 MB blocks for now, and an upgrade mechanism, and Segwit). In this case, I think the price can easily go over the old all-time-high to the $2000 region. But at this moment I consider it very unprobable.

What is block in bitcoin system ?
I am using bitcoin since 2014 but still i don't know what block is 
Can you put a little light on it ?

Thank you

It's impossible to have two Bitcoins running at the same time. XT, Unlimited and all other formed sides are nothing more than altcoins. We just need to be patience when it comes to the activation of segwit. I know it might take a while, but at some point something needs to be done in order to push Bitcoin to the next level. Everyone can see that this can't be stretched for another year. It's just sad to see that the ego's of certain high level Bitcoiners seem to have more importance than Bitcoin itself.

SegWit in its current form won't happen, miners won't push it. Even Bitcoin Unlimted has higher hash support now.
Current support level for SegWit is less than 17%. It is impossible to reach consensus of 95% - and definitely not before deadline which is in December 2017.

what do you mean about bitcoin core : 20 - 100 dollar and bitcoin xt : 20 - 200 dollar
i think bitcoin price can incraese very high after halving again , in 2016 halving, in end year 2016 bitcoin price incraese very high

I know the support percentage is not working in our advantage, but I keep hoping for a good result even though the chances for it to gather enough support are low. That's why I also said that it's sad that the ego's of certain people have more importance than Bitcoin itself. It's a nasty practice all this "fighting" between sides supporting something different. Patience is the only thing that counts from the community side.

He means to say after hardfork some people will be using same old block sizes to have 2 different versions of bitcoins. I just wonder what would be the differences with them from any altcoin?

But I predict, due to more number of unconfirmed transactions all miners will start agreeing for increasing block size like 1MB for every year. If this happens, the most debated topic of scalabilty of bitcoin will go fade away to make bitcoin more stronger to have huge prices like $2000 or $5000 in 2018.

Ehh it doesn't worth like that. You can't put Unlimited, XT, BTCfork or whatever in a single package. Those are separate blockchains.

Nobody is going to support anything but Bitcoin Core anyway. If it ever happens it's a good opportunity to double your bitcoins by dumping your Unlimited or whatever.

More than push BTC to the next level, it is a matter of survival, what I'm trying to say is that the changes will have to be done if BTC want to stay on the move, or will be displaced even if it seems now impossible, the longer they try to agree, the more that other projects will take advantage of other solutions, every day more and more possible solutions are emerging to solve the limitation of the volume of transactions for example, what is certain is that this year will be interesting in how it solves this type of divergences, but other projects are likely to be much larger than they have been so far and in one of these can reach the level of popularity of BTC.

[gilangIDR]

in 2018 I am very confident that the price of bitcoin will experience a remarkable improvement. bitcoin price I predict will exceed 2000USD.

[marcoman22]

As we all know that bitcoin has progressed a lot since it was released and here in 2017 we saw the price of bitcoin was 1000+ USD which is 5x of the price was in 2015.
So what do you think it will be in 2018

I hope it would definitely cross $2000. We have seen the tremendous increase in btc price from $750 to $915 now.We could clearly see the growing interest of new companies in bitcoins.So, there would be a huge increase in demand resulting in a rapid increase in bitcoin price.

[CoinFoxs]

It is really hard to predict the exact amount of bitcoin in 2018 because of it's unstability, price of bitcoin fluctuataes and goes high and sometime decrease as we all saw that bitcoin dropped almost 350$ fews days back. So we only make pricdiction or we only make guesses, no one tell the what actually happens with bitcoin in future. So my prediction and wish  for 2018 is i want price of bitcoin to reach or in between 3000$ + in 2018.

[ivanst776]

With the current trend of transaction I can say that it will be a mess in few years if the block size will not get increased.

Segwit is a must, in 2018 I hope that bitcoin will be more popular and be known to people as a good currency and not as a currency which is used by criminals or hackers.

I hope it does get implemented too, the problem with the unconfirmed blocks has been increasing in frequency and we experienced it again a few days ago and this is really fraustrating to get your funds after two days of waiting for it to confirm. Without any changes we might not see an increase in adoption and prices in 2018.

This happens when there is rush and lots of transaction at the same time, for now the number of unconfirmed transaction has been decreased to 11k but still it is too much because the blocks are most of the time full.

If this problem get solved then I think that the price of bitcoin will be much higher than it is now, I hope that for a month the price will become at least $1,000.

If this trend of rising in price continue,bitcoin will be almost $2000 by the end of 2018.There's a possibility that some event could trigger price more.

Already there big momentum going on because now it is really in healthy position. So people are actively waiting for big pump in bitcoin market as many people are keep showing their interest toward bitcoin. So, definitely the price will be around 1500$ mark.

$1,500 is indeed a good range that we can reach. Probably this is far more achievable than hitting $2,000. As said previously, we need something changed with how we are using bitcoins right now since it will be a big problem the time when bitcoins get a mass adoption. Think about it, if we double or triple the amount of transactions we are having right now. That would be a real nightmare.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

bitcoin price movements are difficult to predict. but I believe bitcoin prices will continue to increase. in 2018 the price of bitcoin could reach over 2000USD. with prices like these bitcoin will be increasingly in demand, and is also used as a currency for the daily life of people in this world.

[mrjoy15]

It's difficult to predict the current amount of bitcoins in 2018 as various factors impact the value of the prices.Keep looking out present Bitcoin's industry I guess the price will be increasing and stay from $1500 to $1600 also there may be changed,so possibility it cross $2000.Expect 2018 to be a very good year for Bitcoin's price in demand.

what do you mean about bitcoin core : 20 - 100 dollar and bitcoin xt : 20 - 200 dollar
i think bitcoin price can incraese very high after halving again , in 2016 halving, in end year 2016 bitcoin price incraese very high

It's actually very simple what the meant with the prices. If Bitcoin remains staying in its current form where SW won't be activated, then he expects the price to plummet to $20-$100 in 2018.

If another Bitcoin fork will reach the majority of the crucial support, then he expects the price to plummet to $20-$200 in 2018. Either way, he is not really having much confidence in how things will work out.

I am not that bearish as he is. If Bitcoin Core stays as it is, then it will surely disappoint a lot people, but the price won't sink that far down. Maybe a few hundred lower at worst. But that's really it.

Real damage will become reality when an alternative fork happens to win this nonsense battle. It means that even though people supporting these alternatives know the negative outcome, they still want to push it through.

$1500 is great sort of nice speculation not big and too low  i agree with you pal well we could not say that it would up to $2000 because of what happen last and this year because the end of the year is not the same so that is my speculated price too and lets hope that it is bigger than that amount

[Kemarit]

If bitcoin become accessible to traditional investors and mass adoption then I speculate that the price of bitcoin could reach 2100 USD. I think stability and wider participation are more important for the long term to get the price increasing to 1600 USD then slowly getting to 2000 USD at the end of the year.
