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

[cramcram21]

I only wish to see it around 2000 US Dollars in 2018 but lets hope that it can get more higher than what I wish,
Maybe it really can pass more than 2000 US Dollar by that time.

Yes if everything goes fine then $2k won't be difficult to achieve by that point of time as by then many more will join the party and start using bitcoins and many companies will enter into the bitcoin world so that price or even higher is expected to reach in the year 2018 and that doesn't seem to be impossible looking at the growth of bitcoins.

2018 seems so far from now, 2017 has just started. Hope the adoption will be bigger and bitcoin more established but the price is hard to predict. My wishes are that bitcoin comes to 2000$, that demand for it rises and that bitcoin spreads through the world to as much.people as could be.

[MFahad]

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.

We cant say exactly the price of bitcoin in 2018 as it depends upon numerous factors which are related to bitcoin directly or indirectly. For example if the world is in any World war, then ofcourse the price will be different as if there is no War and peace everywhere. My rough guess is 2000$ if most things are smooth.

Off course it will reach to 2000 USD but don't know how long it will take, till now it is in right platform where users are making huge profits on bitcoin. May people are predicting that bitcoin 2000 USD in the year 2018, no body don't know how much the price will be even higher than what we are expecting and may be even less.

As of now it seems hard to make a speculation of what the price of bitcoin will be in the year of 2018 as we are only in first month of this year maybe we can easily speculate once the huge increase approached and i think it will happen on the mid year or on the last few months of this year just like what happened previously . It could be better to expect the unexpected

[sunsilk]

Since it is not that bad to have a guess and speculate with the price of bitcoin as long as it is realistic and more reasonable.

But I think bitcoin is going to reach $1,500 up to $2,000 and hopefully that can be seen earlier before this year ends.

Just like what happened this year of 2017 entered.

we still need some time to reach that position. in 2018 the economy is expected to improve. besides bitcoin demand factors that more can make the price of bitcoin be better.

What is block in bitcoin system ?
I am using bitcoin since 2014 but still i don't know what block is 

OK, that's easy: Blocks are the parts of the Blockchain (explanation at Wikipedia)

It's impossible to have two Bitcoins running at the same time. XT, Unlimited and all other formed sides are nothing more than altcoins.

Both can claim that they are "the real Bitcoin". To my knowledge there is no globally accepted Bitcoin trademark (except for one in Russia).

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.

I agree. I'm hoping that the Segwit activation in LTC could drive some miners to accept the Segwit proposal in the future. And perhaps Core devs could make a move and increase block size at least to 2 MB to convince the Chinese miners that oppose the current limitation.

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

No. If Unlimited imposed itself finally as the main competitor to Core, then the other "big blockers" would switch to Unlimited. There would be no point of using XT, Classic or other fork. But it's still possible that a more moderate proposal would "win" the big-blockers competition (like Classic).

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.

That's a possible outcome, but only if Core offers real usability to its users. A 1-MB-Blockchain won't offer this in 2018, even with Segwit activated there would be probably worse bottlenecks than now. So most users that want to use on-chain transactions would switch to Unlimited.

Well, bitcoin prices will definitely rise, although little by little, other than that, every end of the year, the price of bitcoin always showed incredible statistic. well, so there is a very high probability for bitcoin has a high price in 2018. I am sure, the price of bitcoin might be able to achieve $ 1,500 and above.

I don't think about 2018 so much. I'm concentrated on this year and to be honest I like current price. If we can see a little more increase in next 11 months, and let's say price stable somewhere over 1000 $ it will be great.
I think we will be above 1000 $ definitely, I just don't know how much above. Let's wait and see that.

2018 is not that far ahead. So even prediction at end of 2018 should be possible.

Interesting thing about current price is that altho it dont look anything special, every day gets into top30 of days with highest BTC price. We had 14 days of stability at this price that less then 20% under the ATH day.

And that is exactly why I do not think we are in a bubble at the moment.
Bubbles tend to get bigger, but bitcoin price is now kind of stable.
I do not see bitcoin below 900 longterm anymore, so by the end of 2018 why shouldn't we be somewhere above 1500$ and that stable.

to me if the price of bitcoin will continue its journey so successfully we can hope that the price of bitcoin will cross 2500 USD level very easily. may be much more from that price.

But I like to predict bitcoin prices to be more than $10k levels by 2018. Because of considering the exponential growth of mass adoption and government reorganizations. Even most of the countries may not come into recognizing bitcoins but mass adoption will not get failed so certainly we can expect $10k levels by 2018.

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'd think the price will be around what it is now maybe a little better. We're probably not looking at more than 2x this year. I think the 5x difference was caused by the 2015 tx hacks and the 2016 halving. None of that is expected for this year - hopefully.

Hacks are never expected, until they just happen. Halving has its own schedule set, every 4 years or 210.000 blocks and next one will be in mid 2020.
When predicting the price of BTC. We can only speculate with info we already have about future planned startups, projects, solutions, upgrades for bitcoin protocol - hoping that they will force price of BTC higher.

[Tanic]

 In bitcoin world for about a year and I understood that the price for changes with reasons that I don't know and don't understand. So I really have no idea about what the price will be in 2018. The one thing that I can predict that it's going to be not stable. It can jump between 1000 and 5000$.

[Shady]

In realistic view since the crash of Western countries interactive connection, it looks like BTC and precious metals of the like would follow with increases.

Bitcoin has a long future, although we are already seeing how fast the startups become successful. Cryptocurrency is known to be as big as Social Media is to the Internet... Don't regret not getting in early just like with that.

Maybe once segwit becomes active then there may be more adoption (or hacks of it as it's a new idea).
There weren't any major hacks last year (As far as I know) and o the price rocketed and the halving also influenced that. The price rocketed from that only and increased from ~£129 to ~£1000 while I was tracking it (shame I didn't buy any at 129 ) - I was waiting for it to fall below 100 again...
