Predictions of where bitcoin will be by the the end of 2018

[rivercityjon]

I think if Amazon rumors about accepting Bitcoin as a payment method prove true, that could be a temporary catalyst to drive prices upwards to $6500-7000 in the short term, with another pullback in the days and weeks following. $10k in 2018 might be realistic, barring major regulations that are not yet announced weighing down on the price.

Looking at the table it seems bitcoin may hit even $10000 by 2018 if the pump will continue. In the past years bitcoin become a hit as the value increases very high only this 2017 the value of bitcoin double this is why many investors believe that bitcoin will continue to fluctuate and a more impressive price will be seen in the later years. I'm so excited to see how bitcoin rocks the digital currency world.

I'm interested to see where everyone thinks bitcoin is headed, like value wise and how people would have adapted to it.

For what has happened for the past three months we have witnessed a lot of attack against bitcoin reputation by notable personality and bitcoin still remains strong as at today, we can really said bitcoin is going to be great in 2018. I believe that we are going to break  $10,000 and remain up there from the second quarter of the year till the end of the year. In 2018 we may have one or two online mainstream retails shop adopting bitcoin and some third world countries adopting bitcoin as a mode of payment.

Todays price of almost 6000$ per BTC and the time limit in which we have come to this price might be some indicator for end of next year.So we have only 1000$ price at the beginning of this year and current growth of 600%,imagine such growth in 2018 and you get something around 36000$.This is just pure speculation based on this year,but it would be realistic that the price would at least doubled by the end of next year.Let's say the price could be between 12000$ and maybe up to 20000$.

This was really a good development for the coin,
Once Amazon accepts bitcoin, other online shopping website will do the same and physical store will also do the same.
Bitcoin will known worldwide in no time and price will boost upward.

Yes, when world popular ventures start accepting bitcoin it will easily reach common people as well leads to growth in large scale. In reality the price at present seems growing gradually, so surely it'll reach above $10000 before the middle of 2018. Hope the price by the end of the year 2018 can be expected to be around $20000.

It is not simple to predict about a strong currency easily it takes time when you predict a currency you look at the boom and fall of the price and the market value of that currency. I think bitcoin will be stable in the coming next year and it will fruitful like now. There will be new rooms open for investors and they will invested more likely.

[600watt]

before 2018 is over bitcoin price will finally enter a mad mania run-up like in nov/dec. 2013, will probably spike up to $35k-$50k an will be on its way down by the end of next year. my guess is around $15k-$25k by then.

[Yuuto]

I'd say that price should cool down a little in 2018. The pumps have gone very very high and so are investors expectations, however this cannot be sustained forever and will have to stop one way or another.

Most likely by the end of 2018 we'll see price stabilize at around the $4000 mark, which is still very high.

But end of 2017, we could see high levels. $10k is possible, before a correction.

[Tolyan77735]

When more and more people know bitcoin, accept bitcoin. When using bitcoin, everything is ok. I don't think it's going to take long, or maybe within a few years. Now, there's a bitcoin ATM machine on the streets of Germany and Hongkong. I think this is the beginning

Bitcoin is unpredictable, we dont know where is going to be the price not even in a few days from now, well, we can make some "predictions" if we make a good analysis on the charts, but the price is very volatile because it is being manipulated a lot by the governments and some politicians, so maybe one day it can be up by 10%, and the following day -10%.
But of course that it would be more than ten thousand dollars by the next year.

Anything can happen next year, a crash, a fork that gets everyone's attention, a new crypto that will revolutionize the market, more countries banning btc exchangers, etc. The only thing i'm sure is Bitcoin going mainstream next year, especially with those rumours about how Amazon could implement BTC as a payment method, who knows, right? but one way or another, btc is going to blow up next year. Value wise, i believe we could reach 10k in January.

While technically anything can happen at the same time the scenario in which bitcoin crashes is very unlikely, bitcoin is very strong at the moment and if bitcoin goes mainstream in the next year then there is no way the price is going to go below the current levels.

Well I think it’s sure and confirm that the price will be high because the way bitcoin is going popular and strong now a days so there is no doubt that bitcoin be on the top of all currencies but to find the exact figure it’s very hard to say because it’s a digital currency and its related with a trade so I think it’s very hard to do prediction about it.

Yes we can say that the prisent increase in the price of bitcoin is due to the increasing interst of the peole, In fact the interst of the people is contuously increasing, so they are demanding more and more for bitcoin and that is the reason that we can see a huge increase in the price of bitcoin, we can expect that this increase will even continue tell the end of the year.

I think Bitcoin has already reached the predicted value of the year which was $6000 and the next year value would be high. I think bitcoin will reach the grand value of $10000 till the end of 2018 and who can say it will increase more.

It is fixed that if you  invest in bitcoins now you will get high returns later and there in no doubt in this. My predicted price is $10000 in the next year and it will happen.

[Ararbermas]

My prediction about bitcoin in 2018 maybe it will crash deep or it will continue to climb  and reach or surpass the 10k value cause there's a posbility ithink. And now adays its to hard to speculate  about bitcoin price as we see its always fluctuate.  No permanent direction maybe it will rocketed again like what happened before even its always volatile bitcoin achieve our prediction. Lets just see 2018

[orions.belt19]

My conservative estimate for end of 2018 is $15k-20k, so that's what I'm hoping for.

I think its very unlikely it won't be at least $15k.
I could see it going as high as $25k next year since I definitely think institutional investors will start getting on board in 2018 and the price will really start booming.

Wow, that's a huge number. And that's still conservative?

I was going for about $10K but you even predict it to reach at least $15K. Interesting, I really do hope for the price to reach that much by the end of the 2018. But in fact, I did not expect for bitcoin to be this high for 2017 so I guess anything may be possible. For all we know, it could get even higher than all of our predictions.

Do you really think that is a huge number? I mean we went from $1000 to over $6400 in 10 months. It's gone up 9x in exactly the past year. Even $25k is only 3.9x in the next 14 months. $15k would only be 2.34x in 14 months. 48 hours ago it was $400 less than it is now.

Yes absolutely $15k for 2018 is EXTREMELY conservative. I mean heck, assuming the hard fork doesn't hurt the price, I could see Bitcoin possibly hitting $10k in January. We may very well see $7k in the next week or two. I'm actually starting to think even $20k for 2018 is rather conservative.

I don't even know what you are thinking with $10k for 14 months from now. It just broke $5000 for the first time 19 days ago (going by coinbase price) and today it hit $6400. The raw dollar value of appreciation is picking up, as it always has been over the course of bitcoin's life because bitcoin is on an exponential growth curve - the more money that comes in the higher the price goes so even more and more money comes in as people realize it's not just gonna crash and there is lots and lots of money to be made. Other than in the wake of the Mt. Gox crash (2014-2015) Bitcoin's price has always been going up by more dollars each year than the previous year. Let's just say Bitcoin hits $8000 by the end of this year, that's a $7000 gain this year. So at minimum we can expect more than $7000 gain in 2018, and likely MUCH more. So if Bitcoin ends 2017 at $8000 (and I think it is likely to be higher than even that) that puts a good absolute minimum prediction for 2018 at $15k, but much more likely it will be $20-25k or even higher in 2018.

Bitcoin does not have linear growth, it never has. Why would you predict linear growth of as your $10k prediction suggests far worse than linear growth? It is an asset that is experience the normal exponential S-curve that all widely adopted new products experience. So while 2016 went up by hundreds, 2017 went up by thousands, 2018 will go up by $10-20 thousand, and for probably at least a few years after that until the global bitcoin adoption starts leveling off as it nears the top of the growth S-curve, we can expect an increase of several tens of thousands of dollars each year.
So for bitcoin price think $1000 (2016) -> $8000 (this year) -> $20k (2018) -> $40k -> $70k ->$110k -> $160k -> $200k+... perhaps starting to slowdown around that point, maybe not until a lot higher, maybe a bit lower.

It is hard to predict what price it will sit on by the end of 2018. In a year many can happen so I have 2 speculation for it. If price goes upward and the trend continues as is, it will sit above 7000$ price level at least since it has been pumped a lot lately, probably there won't be much of a rise but rather there will be a dump first. Another prediction if it goes sideways is that btc will sit at price ranges below 4000$.

And bitcoin is showing its strength once again, look at the huge price increase, bitcoin once again going up in value and it is now above 7000 in the first days of November, it seems the prediction that bitcoin could reach 10000 dollars before the end of the year is slowly becoming a reality.

In my opinion, by the end of 2018 bitcoin will cross 10000 dollars. I am not saying it will reach 10000 dollars, it will cross 10000 dollars . May be it can reach 12000 dollars or something like that. Because its getting popular day by day. Moreover nowadays its hitting the headlines of all media because of its high surge in price. So daily more people are coming to know about this cryptocurrencies and they want to invest in it. So as the demand increases, bitcoin's price will also increase. So no one can exactly predict that how much will be its price by the end of 2018.

Well for me, I think the price of bitcoin by the end of 2018 will be anywhere between $40,000 to $50,000 because if you look at the recent bitcoin growth, bitcoin value was growing in lighting speed. In this year alone bitcoin value increases with about 800% - who knows may be the value of bitcoin might reach 1000% by the of 2017. If bitcoin continue to grow even by 500% next year 2018 - the value of single bitcoin would be worth around $40,000.
