2018! Bitcoin pump or dump?

[Fazlurkhan.kz]

As last year at this time bitcoin was about 1k and it had a magnificent rise to nearly 19k in the last month of last year that's around 1000% increase within a year. It was a breathtaking year for bitcoin and the investors too. It was doing just fine in the few starting days of this years first month but went back to around 10k. Would bitcoin repeat its last years pathway and show a significant increase in its price or take the opposite direction!
What do you think and why so?

Everyone is really hoping to see bitcoin duplicate its feat last year. Imagine the growth and no one has really expecting it to blow past $19K and almost touch $20K in December.

But honestly, I'm seeing that bitcoin can go as high as $50K this year. So not that significant growth compare to last year, but still a good one in my opinion.

I say that we can only grow that much because of all the regulations and banning from countries around the world. And there will be continues attack or FUD that will try to pull down the price.

well, I think bitcoin prices will rise again this year. The reason is simple, as more and more new people who know bitcoin and connect to the internet every day will make the supply and demand unequal.

[socks435]

I think the movement of the price this year wouldn't be the same as last year maybe 2015 and 2016 before the black halving i will say there's a little bit the same movement..
If you are comparing the last year honestly the movement of the price is burst increase almost 1100% what i seen in the chart.. It is because of block halving and bitcoin become trending and there are company also accepting bitcoin as payment like steam and namecheap.. until many people are investing in bitcoin that is why the price of bitcoin was increase a lot..

For now i feel that we will see a big increase but not in 1000% unless if we can see a big news about bitcoin ..

Its still good to see bitcoin to pump and dump cause this is how we can make good money. Bitcoin needs to be dump so we can buy at a lower price and go higher to take good profit. Volatility will always be here and the good thing is bitcoin can survive on this. Bitcoin can go higher this year and that price is really possible.

[pooya87]

none of the above because bitcoin is not a pump and dump shitcoin like all these altcoins you see which can be pumped and dumped. if you don't know what "pump and dump" means then read this first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump or https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pumpanddump.asp

[Altero]

Not exactly we know how fast it grow this year,  not even we speculate where it goes. But I know everyone have still thinking for a positive, may wishing that it will go beyond the market record last year.  It so undeniable that everyone have been surprise for unexpected price hike last year,  and now it become a basis how far bitcoin can do this year and the coming years.

And it was an equally breathtaking year so far in 2019 to see the losses Bitcoin had, along with all the other alts. Bitcoin lost a spectacular 60%, but some others like Nano today have shaved 70% or even 80% of their ATHs.

Something tells me it will be an even crazier year when all these cryptos recover, and some alts finally die. People will experience high gains for some, and witness a lot of alts completely become useless. Newcomers who have been waiting for signs of recovery will see it now.

The Pumped and Dump really is a misleading concept to say for bitcoin they are the ones that have an establish position in the company sell their stock while there is an hype, This is illegal base on the law and can lead to heavy fines, This Scheme manipulate the micro and small cap stocks that is very easily to control,

And I really think we can not have another pump that happens last year, the value will need to recuperate from its recent down fall and bitcoin will do this on his own.

it may be for me to hope last year's incident will repeat this year, but if we see from the market movement,, as little hope for it to happen, the bitcoin price uprising is very slow and there is no significant price pump in 2 months earlier this year ,, but we still have great expectations until the end of this year

[cynical]

2018! Bitcoin pump or dump? BOTH

Like last year there will be plenty of ups and downs,
we will see more people coming to the market and also others that got burned in early January returning to get in earlier than they did last year.
Also with the lightning network getting closer to mass adoption so buying/selling and moving bitcoin will be more economical.

[Slash61]

last year was an amazing year for bitcoin prices. I think this year we can exceed it. but, with a note we'll go slowly, why? I think this year will be a pretty tough year for btc prices to break through the good numbers, because we'll be overwhelmed by minor problems. actually it does not matter though will be hampered, first we pretty much have a lot of FUD on the road this might increase the price in the added again the service segwit that is not too costly. this year we will go slowly to welcome the $ 22k even could be more.

Bitcoin might not make 1000% increments this year but I think is going to make a good significant progress. I have been following bitcoin price action and chart pattern since 2016 and we have seen a very high development at a particular time of the year. Bitcoin has done well last year and believe any moments from now we would see a very high pump that is going to see bitcoin above the December high of $19,000 area.

[Slow death]

Would bitcoin repeat its last years pathway...

if we have a lot of good news, then we can have a big price increase, the problems is this year we have been facing serious barriers, " regulation ". some banks close people's accounts because buy bitcoin, countries like China declare war on bitcoin, so the regulation will be a kind of brake on a possible big increase in bitcoin price this year.

we will see more people coming to the market

oh did you see that?

"Zen Master" Steven Seagal Eyes Up a Replacement for Bitcoin

Steven Seagal is eyeing up a cryptocurrency to replace bitcoin. Bitcoiin – count those I’s – may look and sound similar to bitcoin, but is very different. It runs on the Ethereum network, confusingly, and boasts “zen master” Steven Seagal as its brand ambassador. To add to the confusion, Bitcoiin with two I’s sports a website that’s one letter away from this one and styled in the same colors. The whole affair could be dismissed as another crypto joke, were it not for a tweet from Seagal’s official account throwing his considerable weight behind the project.

Yes, this will be an incredible year.

[spadormie]

It's really a great job for bitcoin to rise so high this time around. It is now currently lying on 11.5k usd. And this made the situation great because last time, we saw bitcoin almost dying. Now bitcoin might take 16k if this continues.

[bitbunnny]

Both. Again we will see pumps and dumps, this is inevitable. It can't happen that Bitcoin price will just rise or just fall. The question is only how far could it go in both ways.
At the moment it looks like market is recovering and the price is slowly rising but at moment I don't expect some big jumps. It will take some time for price to cross 15000$ again.

Personally? yes, I did see that in December.
People I work with and acquaintances mentioned they "bought Bitcoin" without knowing I was already involved.
But they bought it purely on the hype and news articles they heard, they also lost because the sold out of FUD.

I am speculating that some will come back in along with others who didnt act at all last year on the run up to $19K

[magneto]

I think that he is using the word "pump" as "increasing price", and "dump" as "decreasing price".

Let me get this clear. There is no way that bitcoin will repeat its performance last year. If things were on the same scale as last year, it would essentially mean that bitcoin will rise another 2000% within a year, and that would result in a $200k bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't some high yield investment program that will give you that kind of returns.

2018 isn't going to see a lot of activity, in my opinion. We'll probably establish $10k as a worst case scenario to fall back on, but other than that, I can't see price move past $20k either. 2018-2020 will be relatively calm, before 2021's pump. Historically, bitcoin has always increased in price 1 year after the halving.

I think Bitcoin would not perform well this year considering the graphs it has had in the past. I believe we won't see any fast price upward movements going to new all time high this year. If history were to repeat itself, I will say that 2018 is the year of bitcoin's dump. If that happens, we would need to wait for a year after the halving in order to see new all time highs again.

Well if you've been dealing with btc for years now, you know that graphs don't really indicate anything. Bitcoin often moves against technical analysis and it's hard to really predict how it will move. And is it really that bad that we're taking a long time around 10k? Its a long way from where we were last year

this is not the first time I see that many users say that Bitcoin is very difficult to analyze. In all likelihood, in any case, the risks remain, As Bitcoin came up with, and with investments.

[supandi wiharja]

In my opinion, by 2018 this bitcoin trip will be like the previous year, at the beginning of the year bitcoin value will fall sharply and slowly will rise again.
We all always remember the value of bitcoin by the end of 2017, which is the highest value in history and amazing for bitcoin.
I think this year, the bitcoin movement will not be much different from last year, will be many ups and downs with small problems that always crashing.
But we all need not worry, because the price will slowly continue to improve and see the price is higher than we imagine.

[thebatletbet]

ussually in early year bitcoin price can down
and midle year and year bitcoin price can incraese very high
so bitcoin can dump and pump

[trickyriky]

Bitcoin is made te deflate.
Bitcoin is going to mainstream trading.

I believe a pump will happen. A slow burn to 40k

I also support more the version that BTC will have a pump. It has become extremely popular now. Hype starts everywhere, where Bitcoin is mentioned only.

True, price of bitcoin is not leaning to a solid bar of metallic stands that can’t be move. So it can deflate in both side on the market as it is an speculative investment. Mainstream is ready for bitcoin but the bankers and the corrupt government puppets officials are against with this, so the people must work hand in hand to rally behind cryptocurrency acceptance. Whales is soon be coming, a bull run is on the doorstep already.

[arpon11]

Bitcoin has been doing very well since the beginning of last quarter of last year.  But since February it has been limited in making serious progress. If bitcoin is going to get pump this year like last year we should then stop selling and start buying and holding. We may need to work hard in promote bitcoin this year like what some of us do last year. Bitcoin is going to grow and we would have a better 2018.
