Legendary Bitcoin Trader “masterluc” Predicts $15,000 Bitcoin This Year

[tabas]

Mcafee's prediction is greater for three years and we can wait for that time. But whoever is this masterluc, this legendary bitcoin trader that says it can go $15,000 for this year, well please make it happen  I want to see it happening that the price of bitcoin is getting higher and will be able to reach $15,000 this year. I'm just cheering you up guys here. Hooray!

He called the top of both the April and November 2013 run-ups. However, he was wrong about the bottom in 2015 (we ended up making another leg down at the time, when he thought the next bull cycle had already begun).

I also can't find the source for this $15,000 claim. I read in the Speculation forum that Cointelegraph was wrong in their interpretation of this call. They probably used Google Translate to translate one of his posts from his VK community and got it wrong.

More importantly, he definitely is calling for $40,000-$110,000 in the next two years...

The bottom was partially influenced by stolen Mt.Gox coins flooding the markets on BTCe, in an attempt to convert as much booty as possible into cash. Such facts can destroy all chart analysis lines.
He seems to be active still but last chart published been outdated like seven monthes by now.
Maybe publishing newer stuff on TradingView as PentarhUdi ?

Ask any oldtimer, and you’ll find that masterluc is something of a legend in the Bitcoin community. His main claim to fame is that he called the top of the November 2013 Bitcoin bubble and the subsequent bear market.

On December 6, with the price at $1100, he said:

“Third day in a row I wake up, see charts and ask myself "Is this the end?" and third day in a row answer is "Yes.” End of first historical bullish trend 2010-2013.”

I would be extremly happy if btc reachec $15k but at the end of this year sounds a bit exxageration to me.Yes prices are good and if the trand continues,we can easily reach to $7k but double of this is too much to ask for

Didn't this guy 'masterluc' say that once $4400 was breached to the upside, there was no resistance and it was all clear skies all the way to $7000?

This is why you should never listen to any so-called bitcoin "master trader".

I have the same thought as you. Just because he predicted the price correctly in the past does not mean he will do it again in the future. I have listened to several "master traders'" advice when I was new to Bitcoin. All of them did not make me any winning trades.

Big money want to shake weak hands before flowing in.

They are still undecided if they support BTC or BCH.

Can you show any proof of this? The stolen Gox coins were apparently shown flooding into several exchanges including BTC-e in 2012, according to the indictment. All of the "stolen coins" mentioned in the indictment were from back then. Those coins provided supply to the market for years (including before, during, and after the 2013 bubbles). As far as I know, there is nothing to indicate that this has much relevance to the 2015 bottom.

Yeah, he's no longer active here. I have a friend who keeps tabs on the Russian community, waiting for his posts.

[TeeBone]

I'll jump on board and say we hit minimum 10K within 8 months. Something serious is brewing, Big Money flowing in.

Even the investors toprow like Buffett talk about closing the doors, listening to nobody except numbers. However, crypto is heavily influenced by technology development and occasional criminal activities.
Not listening to street rumors ain't no solution, either.

Next week probably breaching $5000 because auf two things. The forkers got their finest hour allready, core beeing next in line anyways. And Segwit activating.
Next troublesome pathway will be 90 days ahead, when second part of NYA should arrive.

With how the things are going in bitcoin world, I think a prediction of 15000$ is too optimistic for this year. We have only less than half of year till this year finishes, and now the value of bitcoin is decreasing. Am surely expecting that from september 1st the value will increase, but don't see it reaching 10000$ in 31st December.

[Basmic]

I also think that bitcoin will not reach this level this year. I do not rule out prices rising to 5,000 to 8,000 dollars, but then the price will drop. Probably the new year we will meet on level 5000-6000 dollars. The main thing is not to sell their coins now because then you will regret it.

Don't think so! Big money knows pretty well where it has to go to.
Bitcoin is and will stay much more superior than the Wu and Ver Clone aka Bcash!
I mean right now these miners over there produce a ton of blocks in no time. Nice exploit be they way. With the next difficulty adjustment that mining advantage will be gone and that hashrate will comevback to BTC, while BCH will be stuck. And the ones who invested in BCH will hopefully realize how dumb their move was.

To masterluc: yeah he had made some great calls in the past. But also he is just a human being like everybody else. So be careful with anyones prediction and always do your own analysis and make up your own mind.

[Cult]

Well, this kind of things happens everyday in cryptoland, people become millionaire overnight with coins goins 10x and even 100 or 200x in very short periods of time, bitcoin doing a 200x in the next two years? Sure, why not?

[gentlemand]

Did Masterluc also predict the existence of 15,000 Bitcoins by the end of the year? The first analyst who can point to that prediction wins the wee tin cup.

[jhenfelipe]

Disregard his previous predictions, it doesn't guarantee the future ones (this one may or may not happen, who knows?). It would be awesome if we see that price but now that it's just a prediction, it's not the time to be delighted & excited. Honestly, I don't rely on speculations and doesn't speculate as well, I just believe in bitcoin and observe the price changes. Let's see how much the bitcoin price will reach before the end of the year.

[dothebeats]

In order for us to reach the said price said, we need to achieve more than $250-B in market capitalization, and I don't see that happening without major fake trades and artificial growth. Where would the money come from? Large names in the economic scene? From other alts? Possible, but really too high of a target by now.

People need to stop quoting market cap. It doesn't exist. For the price to shoot to 15k there simply needs to be more demand than there are sellers, and the price will keep going up.

Actually everything can happen. For example what happen to ETH it start of year? Not much news, but it go up from 9 to 300.
Same with bitcoin can be.
But anyway, predictors predict just for sensation or for self-promotion. 

[RoyBatty]

He didn't predict 15k by the end of the year. He said his analysis was showing him very little resistance to 15k. The semantics might seem small but there's a big difference between an saying "the price is going to x" vs interpreting what he's seeing in his analysis. The 40 -110K range is where he sees the end of the current bull cycle whenever it actually ends.

"Big money" does not have any loyalties. They will support whichever will bringmore big money in their pockets. If they support BitcoinCash now, the minute they find an opportunity in Bitcoin, they will jump straight to it. That makes the difference between them and us. They have no loyalties.
