Next Milestone for bitcoin??

[Red-Apple]

next milestone for bitcoin should be more adoption, a lot more merchants accepting it as payment.
it should be that when you look at the number of transactions per day you can say for sure that at least 80% of them are from people who are using bitcoin to buy stuff. not 80% of it is from people moving bitcoin from exchanges to their wallets.

and the day that happens, your price dreams would also come true.

[YOYOY]

As we see bitcoin start rising again what you predict about bitcoin's price by the end of 2017?? I predict bitcoin's price will be in between 3200$ to 3300$ by the end of this year.

Yeah that's also my predicted price of bitcoin by the end of 2017, hope we are lucky to predict it, I would totally love it and I will save much bitcoin right now so that if it will really happen by the end of 2017 I will earn a lot. And also I am hoping that the Segwit by this 1st of August will be successful in order to achieve that price we want to meet.

[Kprawn]

Well we have broken a previous record price this year already, so I do not know if we going to do it once again? If we do, I would predict that it

would go much higher than it's previous record and it might even touch $4000 by the end of 2017. We still have Black Friday and we still have

Xmas coming up, and during these times there are a bigger demand for coins, so the price might go higher during these periods.

I would like to see more adaptation and a lot of merchants should accept bitcoin payment and we need more technology and upgrades when it comes to merchant based acceptance and if we could improve on that then that is the next milestone.

That is a fact,we have just reached six months for 2017 and we do have black Friday and Christmas as all the chart shows that we usually have a rally during those periods and even though the markets might be dim for a long time i am sure the market will rise again when these time come along. 

[layoutph]

Your prediction is too low. Bitcoin will reach that 3300,usd in just few weeks. I think by the of December bitcoin is already 5k to 6k. Just try to imagine bitcoin is 1k usd on January 2017.. Now it is almost 3k

Yes, but first bitcoin has to win in the struggle as August 1 is coming. The price is going down partly because of the segwit coming. But if it survives any serious dip due to that, then it would be easier for bitcoin to rise up again and hit the figures you mentioned before the year 2017 ends.

There are so many things need to do before we can see something like that because there will be process that needs to be made and a country accepting bitcoin, even know there are several countries that have accept bitcoin there are still so many country that are not into it I think this is the stepping stone that needs to be made.

I am quite optimistic so price might reach way higher than just $3300 by end of this year. Floor for price is $2500 right now because there is strong support at this level. We might see few more rounds of pumps which can easily boost price to over $4000.

By the way, title is quite misleading. You should add bitcoin price in place of bitcoin in title and move this thread to speculation.

[skorupi17]

To OP: This is a clear speculation type thread so kindly move it to where it belongs.

It seems that you are underestimating Bitcoin. Climbing between 3200 and 3300 USD should be very easy for Bitcoin at its current state. If ever the segwit activation be a success that impacts its price positively then we will be seeing Bitcoin more than 4000 USD at the end of this year. Oh, add Australia, India, and South Korea to the list.

First of all, that's not Bitcoin's milestone, that's our milestone.
So the highest Bitcoin price was 2800$, after this segwit2x, its price should grow up 20% to 3000$, at the end of this year, I think its price can reach 3200$

It seems your math is not functioning well. The 20% of 2800 is 560 to instead of 3000, it should be $3360. You are just adding 200 to every amount which is clearly not 20% just like in your thoughts. Well id you are thinking about the 20% of 1000, then I'll give it to you.

Adaptation of bitcoin can not be derived from simple advertising; it needs a more important factor, namely, the influence of governments.

that's the biggest deal to face off i think also if government will provide extra effort to accept bitcoin as a system of currency it may hype
the price and will allow more people to understand how can life be change using this investment.

i am expecting the same thing that it should touch 4000$ by the end of 2017, i read a news today that japan remove all taxes on bitcoin and china and south korea legalize bitcoin in their country this year so i think or i wish that this year bitcoin will reach highest price of all time.

[gentlemand]

Sod price. The only milestone worth anyone's attention is a successful scaling solution that enough people are happy enough with. Nothing else comes close.

[AleSergio]

There was a lot of topics already about future of bitcoin in 2017 After a great rise in May when people were saying that it will be by the end around 5000$, after dump they were saying, that it will drop down to 2000$. I think it would be around 3000$ or maybe more, also it depends how news in August will affect bitcoin price

[SaShiRaJaVu]

Your prediction is too low. Bitcoin will reach that 3300,usd in just few weeks. I think by the of December bitcoin is already 5k to 6k. Just try to imagine bitcoin is 1k usd on January 2017.. Now it is almost 3k

Anyone can speculate any value,the bitcoin prices were around 1 k this January but that does not mean that the price will keep on growing this year,no market will provide a bull run every now and then,we had a good rally,the price will stabilize for a while and then we might see another rally at the end of this year.

[hardtime]

I think the only milestones that people on here and the entire bitcoin community should be worrying about is going to have to be expanding in general, at the moment we do have a lot of users -- that's not something I'm not even going to try to deny that. But if we're going to be comparing ourselves to Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Paypal, and so on and so forth we're not even going to be making a dent in their stuff. We're going to need to fix bitcoin and innovate to be able to get more people along with it, people aren't just going to come cause we say it's cool and all-- fees need to be lowered, continuing to fix the network congestion, faster tx, and so on and so forth. That's all from me.s

[aoluain]

I agree with hardtime!

Its a simple case of fixing the transaction times and sorting the fees
this will enable proper useage of bitcoin for micro payments etc.

A more stable price needs to happen also for traders to get fully on board.
the price can rise [and fall] in a more stable way but im not sure if this is
possible given the decentralised nature of it.

The first hurdle for a price increase as the OP mentions is the August 1st thing.

[warrior333]

I'm sure after August 1, when the dust settles all the passions we see a big price spike and the threshold is 3300 dollars will be stopped in September-October this year, and by year end we can see $ 4,000.

[CyberKuro]

We will see whether in the next month bitcoin problem finally could be solved, then it would be the next milestone for bitcoin.
After those problem ended, we expect for more adopters and merchants use bitcoin as an alternative currency in various places which will increase demand of bitcoin. When it reach $10,000, that's another milestone.
