Are there any optimists left? Is $100K still possible?

[olumyd]

I am one of those optimists, although a cautious one. $100k in a few years is possible. I doubt we'll see another 10x this year, maybe there will be even no new ATH in 2018, but I believe in long term bitcoin will rise to hew heights.

I also share your view. Buy if crypto has taught us anything, it's that volatility and unpredictability is no surprise with this market. BTC might begin another bullrun soon. But and all time high of 100k in 2018 is quite a long shot. Maybe half of that is possible.

I agree, bitcoin is completely unpredictable. Nobody expected 20x rise in 2017. I would not be surprised by no new ATH in 2018, but I would be equally not surprised by it reaching $50k.

[nightfury]

Count me in because i am still optimistic enough that bitcoin will reach such price in the future. If we will based that on bitcoin's price since it was launched, then bitcoin has already reached more than that price already.

Are there any optimists left? Is $100K still possible even by 2020 or 2021?

He's not greedy, he's only asking if its still possible for bitcoin to be seen at $100k on those years. Who doesn't want to see bitcoin at $100k? of course all of us who are holding it wanted to see it. I'm optimistic with charts for the past weeks even its really tempting to sell, there are people who keep on speculating with a higher price than $100k. McAfee even said that bitcoin will reach $1,000,000 but that's too much. $100k would be fine enough and if gets higher that's better.

I feel that the obvious sentiment is misrepresented in this forum, at least looking back at the past few months, and it's one that is extremely bipolar, swayed by the very short-term view of current markets. The optimists are probably all represented by the oldest forum members who are still around, lurking and posting outside of the Speculation section. By virtue of being here, discussing regardless of Bitcoin's price, they're optimists, much as I'd like to think I am.

If the last month and weeks have caused them to flee and abandon all hope, then I doubt they were anything more than speculators in the first place.

I agree... optimism shouldn't be confused with misplaced trust and hope in the impossible. I don't think many people will care to take the lessons on offer from Bitcoin's almost decade-long presence though! Even those whom newcomers might consider as "experts" or "old-timers" are prone to wild and irrational judgments (McAfee comes to mind). In my eye, Bitcoin will always be as likely to reach X high as it is to reach Y low.

[btcholak]

I think it's possible.

Why do you say that I 'don't even have some amount to invest on bitcoin'.....How do you know if I have or haven't money to invest in bitcoin? I'm doing very nicely with my hodlings since 2014 !! I think I've got a very good investment & am not looking for another!

[Baoo]

In my opinion, Bitcoin will always remain at the top of digital currencies, despite of existence the consecutive crisis in many periods but that will always be temporary. But I am always optimistic about him. Moreover, after each crisis, there is a significant development in the value of this currency and that's what happened in previous years (3-4 year).

Furthermore, in this current period the price of bitcoin is 11K and I think this small jump will continue into this week and it will develop further in the coming weeks. and it is expected that the next price after 1-2 months will be between 20 k and 30 K .

On the other hand, I think that 100K is a very high value  but everything is expected in the era of bitcoin and If the governments will recognize Bitcoin as a legal currency then the value of this currency will progress in a fast way and  may will  be more than 100K if it been achieved.

[Lumada]

100k is a very high number but then I though 2000 was high, then 5000 was, then 10000 and so on...

I cannot predict the future but we should see some very interesting action this year.

Stay tuned.

There are still possibilities, btc is still not that popular in other countroes and others just started to ude it, many investors will soon to shift on it. We just need to wait.

The fact that anything can happen at any time without anyone even believing it could happen. As much as $100k within a year is not possible, that still does not mean it could not happen. In the human eye or perspective and from what we are experiencing presently, it does not look possible, but judging with the beginning of last year and what we had, anything is possible, which balls down to the fact that nothing is predictable; we only have to wait and see what happens.

Overly optimistic! May not be this year, next year or in some decades, no one really cares, but at some point, I am sure bitcoin would have gotten to a stage of massive adoption and maybe some will start seeing how blind they have been by then and how they have been so deceived by the government in to making them believe in their crappy fiat based system. Bitcoin has a lot of room for growth, so there is a huge possibility.

Of course! There are no hindrances when it comes to pricing the only question left is when. As of today the price of bitcoin is slowly picking up pace and it is now at the 11k usd mark. I'm optimistic it will reach 15-18k by end of the Month.

We all wanted to see bitcoin hit that price. So I guess everyone is hoping that it can be done. So let's see. We are still far from 2020 or 2021 and a lot of things can happen like block halving that can influence the price in the next couple of years.

I disagree. There are a lot of hindrance just right now we have seen governments around the world trying to put down bitcoin and crypto. So we should rest on our laurels as more and more attacks will come as the price is nearing the $100K levels in the future.

[olumyd]

For the sake of those who bought at 20k, BTC has got to reach $100k. As many people had contributed to the pump to that level. However if it doesn't happen, it means that getting beyond 50k would be difficult.

Governments have always been trying to prevent crypto from growing further, and it has never resulted in anything other than a short term dip. If we look at the majority of the most recent news concerning governments to prohibit crypto exchanges and whatnot, almost every news article has been debunked afterwards. The only reason these fud'ish articles have an impact on this market, is because of how stupid the majority of the people here are. In other words, the less attention people dedicate to rubbish news, the less impact it will have on this market. We just have to accept that Bitcoin will probably never be welcomed with open arms anywhere, so just move on and focus on that what really matters for you. Bitcoin according to certain idiots was a fraud and a bubble at $100 levels, and will be the exact same for them if we at some point break through $100,000 for the first ever time. Ignore them.

I laugh at your comment dude. Those who have bought bitcoin at top price (around $15K-$19K) have already left the market. They have sold everything during the panic sells in January-February. There might be some few who returns back, but I don't those noobs will go invest on it again. They got burned early on their crypto investment careers. That's why you will see threads spreading FUD's because it fell short of their expectations to be rich.

But I agree that its going to be a big hurdle to get into the 6 digits range. We need to take it slowly and not rush things as its not healthy. A sudden rise means that we could crash anytime because the bubble will be burst.

I wouldn't put too much pressure on us getting to $100K. A price of around $50K will be good enough for me. Let's not be over confident and take everything in a slow stride if we break $100K then good, but if not, then I'm happy if we could touch $50K at the end of the year.

Being futuristic and optimistic isn't a good sandwich fill. In the early days of crypto, bitcoin had the larger share in total market cap, now with Eth and other alts rolling in, bitcoin share has dropped and barely maintaining a 40% dominance. With smart contracts, dApps and all, its gonna be hard for that shine to stay as good as new. However, that would not stop bitcoin's prospect, it will only delay it. Since we are talking crypto a better view will be one with speculative, realistic and optimistic combo.

Being an optimist is not even a crime as most of us who believe totally in the system are all optimistic that bitcoin would do hugely great in adoption, hence the value increasing. We cannot say we cannot see anything this year, but at least, we can say that there is a possibility of something in the future which I want to believe that bitcoin reaching the level of $100k in the future is very possible. One thing I am sure of is that bitcoin is stronger, and like you have said, we may not even see much this year, but the future is what matters.

Moreover, we cannot say if x10 is possible or we will just keep swinging between the previous highs and lows in 2017, but time will only tell and that is the only thing we have. However, looking at how bitcoin has really fair in the past and the great comeback, then anything can still be possible. I also want to believe that stronger hands are already getting into the market with the exchange from weak hands, so, let's see how all these plays out on the price action.

[yonton]

I LMAO at everyone trying to compare bitcoin to any other market, it can't be done. Out of the 16-17 million bitcoin in existence, only a small fraction is actually for sale on exchanges. Most people don't realize that it doesn't take that much capital to buy up bitcoin on exchanges and raise the price up very very high. 100k is nothing, optimistic is more like 2 million each.
