Do you think bitcoin be bullish in 2018?

[BitcoinPanther]

I believe Bitcoin will be bullish this coming 2018, I think the coming CME implemenataion will partially play a  role in this, once it is implemented the next step would be would be ETF.  Aside from that there are also development in line for Bitcoin that will definitely put the bulls in steroid.  Bitcoin is getting to the mainstream little by little.

Of course that it will be bullish, and maybe much more than this year, you should know that a lot of things are going to happen to bitcoin during next year.
The most important thing that bitcoin is going to have, is that the CME is going to list bitcoin on their futures list, it means that the price will surely go upto $10k each bitcoin.
And amazon is probably going to start accepting bitcoin, it means that it will rise a lot too because of this.

IMO yes, Bitcoin will be bullish in 2018 and my vote is it will not go beyond $20,000. I feel that the market cap should be increasing with more people entering crypto next year.

I am really trying to picture what the market cap would be like next year as the adoption is going to turn out massive than what we have had this year. So many countries are really looking into the blockchain technology at this moment; a lot of companies are looking at how they can make things work as they partake in the technology as well. However, my main worry now is the transaction fee as well as the long period of confirmation which is not really speaking well, but with the LN being established, it would really bring a huge positive impact.

We have literally been spoiled with how the market has increased nearly 700% in less than 12 months. However, we shouldn't expect it to stretch out all the way till next year similarly. I am confident in a further increase for sure, but nothing like what we have experienced this year, and that while there is still more than a month to go. If we maintain the bullishnes, we might attempt to reach $20,000 next hear in the best scenario, but let's first see how things are when it comes to CME. They have the ability to push this market closer to $20,000 than I think is possible right now. Obviously, that's assuming they manage to get an approval.

now bitcoin prices are very surprising ,, but we are all still save for next year ,, and hope the price will increase drastically .. I was convinced that the current price is still cheap if we compare with next year ,, one of the risks is when found a drastic price collapse .. it could happen when transaction costs do not make sense

We have seen the transaction cost being the real issue of bitcoin? But why is the price still skyrocketing? It doesn't make sense. However, the reason that I'm seeing why bitcoin is still rising despite the high cost of transaction is that it has gained the confidence and trust of most of all investors, not just investors but big time investors. So this march will still continue up to 2018 and we can see bitcoin trying to test $10K early 2018.

It will be a heck of a ride and its gonna be fun, so matter what the transaction cost is, its doesn't matter, as long as investors are pouring in cash, there will be no problem and the price will continue to rise, I guess.

This topic may seem easy to address but then ,I think we should think over this and possibly talk about fundamentals that can make it bullish if you think it will,because technically, there should be some correction with respect to the yearly chart analysis.
Over to you

Basically, bitcoin has now reached the $8,000 earlier and is expected to rise until the end of the year. If we are going to compare the prices back on January 2017 and today, you will observe that the price definitely skyrocketed by at least 400-500% from its price. By 2018, I expect bitcoin to continuously rise, especially that CME Group Inc., the biggest exchange, is beginning to accept bitcoin for trading. Though it may be difficult to predict what may happen next year like forks, segwits, etc., it is safe to assume that its price will increase.

Very bullish. 2018 is the year when Wall Street enters the Bitcoin market. Price may reach $30k in 2018

[drachman]

I think that 2018 will be another year of growth. More people and major companies will adopt the technology. Critics will eventually be outnumbered.

No need to be a rocket scientist to understand that Bitcoin's demand is only increasing, especially now the average person is more and more interested in investing in Bitcoin.

And what exactly do you mean with companies adopting the technology? That they will adopt the blockchain? If so, that might be the case, but that would likely be their own blockchain and not Bitcoin's blockchain.

It will not have any impact on Bitcoin's market at all, so if you were hoping for that to happen, then you'll end up in a big disappointment ~ it's not for nothing that they invest millions into research and development.

Correct investment in the blockchain is useless unless is in the bitcoin blockchain, we need to make that distinction because it is not uncommon to see people in the forum claiming that bitcoin is getting more accepted and they publish a news about a private company developing their own blockchain.

[marsmyname]

With CME entering the scene, yes but with the existing tension between BCH,BTG,China,Developers political issues and a lot more rumors , I don't see Bitcoin being bullish because of that, but if i want to be optimistic enough then, I see Bitcoin being bullish but the movement will be slowly.

No I don’t think so that the movement will be slow I think there will be more new regions that will accept bitcoin in start of 2k18 and that will bring new investor for the bitcoin and this will surely give huge pump to the bitcoin prices and as prices are at 7.5k these will surely cross 15k in the mid of 2ki8 and hatters will be like “oh my god” why didn’t we invested into btc so take advantage of now and jump into the pool.

[BingoDog]

Next year could be another great year for bitcoin and the price might jump even higher and faster. There will be some corrections too, it will not go up all the time but I don't expect some biger dumps unless situations like forks, cancelled forks and similar stuff happen too often again. I believe the price might reach 10000$ in 2018 easily. And I expect biger and biger number of users but that might also cause some problems.

[bitfocus]

I speculate so, I speculate BTC will cross $20K by mid-2018 and BTC will remain bullish throughout the year.

[Ararbermas]

I speculate so, I speculate BTC will cross $20K by mid-2018 and BTC will remain bullish throughout the year.

i think that price is to high . maybe bitcoin cant reach that speculated value by mid 2018. Cause the reason that bitcoin is always volatie and we cannot speculate if after 2017 it will stay stable or let we say it will continue to climb until mid 2018 and reach $20k maybe it will fluctuate again until bitcoin Became like what happenes before.

[leonair]

I would say bitcoin would go beyond the $10000 level but not more than $20000 in 2018. That is a conservative analysis of the market. More people will definitely invest on bitcoin but will not invest that much money since the price is already high so a repeat on the current year's price leap of 700% is impossible. 200% - 250% leap for the next year is optimistic.

That's true large scale investment won't be found much due to the increased price. Based on that the fork from the main chain will get importance. In specific bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold and upcoming fork will gain popularity as well grow high as the potential outburst has already taken place.

[Rashid555]

I think yes there is much chances for bitcoin to bull in the coming year i.e. 2018 if we find a correlation of crypto currencies then the result come with me that the bitcoin value will be rise in the next year the users are buying this currency and the demand is increasing day by day. This will affect the buying behavior of the users but the bitcoin will be bullish in the next year. This will bring many changes in the prices of altcoins as well

I do not understand why, when people talk about the growth of bitcoin prices, do they always call this moment bullish? This is not the first time I've met such an expression, but I can not understand the reason.

There is no need to surprise about, In fact bitcoin has the potential to remain as bullish for a long long time. People always expect the price of bitcoin to increase and give them good profit, that is why they always consider the market always bullish. We can hope that it will remain as bullish for a long time and very soon we are going to see touching 10000$.

Over to you

There is no correction, the discovery of the price is because of the demand itself. Many people, institutions, companies and governments are BTC and of course the price will go up because the demand is rising.

Some experts are saying that BTC may go up to 20k plus dollars. But for me it can go higher that that. Hailed as the gold of the internet and one of the best crypto investment and commodity, many people will use BTC in my opinion at the year 2018 as a mode of backed up money and reserve for their companies and institution making it as a in demand currencies and we will have a price discovery again that might go up to 30k$ and up.

If billionaires will start buying bTC, for example google makes BTC as a current back up for their net value or toyata make it too as a reserve for their net value, imagine how BTC's price will grow. The price of BTC right now is still small when we compared it for it's potential to become a commodity.

You know BTC is still going strong despite that people are forking it and it's trasactions are slow? Because some of us already gave up that BTC will be the mode of payment, and on their perspective like gold it will be the best commodity that they will ever had.

And for the miners, I'm hoping that they can find a way to mine in an efficient and more economical way.

Impossible to predict for now. When December comes i think things will definitely clear up quite a bit as to what the general direction for 2018 will be. Right now there will be speculation but it won't be fruitful.

If bitcoin hits 5 figures or more by next month then coming into 2018 could be another crazy year for bitcoin. If the $10k resistance is higher than expected, then markets will likely adjust down to $7-8k and it'll be interesting to see whether or not the trend turns bearish in 2018.

Either way as i said, we'll have to wait till at least next month to see.
