Price at end of 2014?

[adpinbr]

Ups and downs in between? common guys speculate thats what we are here for

[Kreigyr]

Between 10,000$ and 15,000$ with little certainty, and between 0.0001$ and 15,000,000$ with 100% certainty.

I'm fulling expecting it to go UP, long-term, at this point, barring some sort of massive legal or cryptographic issue.

Actually there is a speculation sub forum so technically we are not here for this

i think that by the end of 2014, at least a few major retailers will have adopted BTC as a form of payment.. and wall streeters will have poured their money into BTC. so i'm going to be a bit conservative, with these assumptions assumed, at around $5,000. that's just my uneducated guess though, what the hell do i know?

[Pente]

Looks to me that bitcoin keeps trying to get above $1000 and then losing support. I think we may have to wait at least a few more months for the infrastructure to grow a new price foundation before we get any serious growth in prices again.

So basically guessing around $950.

That being said, I am wrong more than I am right. Which is why I only buy and hold. I am good at investing (seeing the fundamentals), terrible at speculating (anticipating herd behavior).

this is what im thinking too. the gunslingers are waiting to see some sort of news. if we stabilize near $1,000 i'm quite happy though.

I think it will reach $2000 dollars. People will begin to adopt and trust bitcoins, and the price will rise accordingly. I do not see a huge growth spurt however until far into the future. There are just too many people who adopted low that will sell once the value reaches a certain point and they have made the profits they want to that will continually hold bitcoins back from growing even further.

don't know what you define growth spurt as, but i really doubt it can grow 100 fold next year as it did this year.. but 10 fold is a reasonable number.

$6k

My gut says $10k, but the long-term exponential trend at MtGox is a doubling every 120 days (8x per year) and current value is supposed to be at $250, giving $2k next year.  So, splitting the difference, $6k.  3 years: $100k.  I couldn't find anyone in my plebian circles at the beginning of November that had heard of it.  This is like 1995 internet, except faster.  After 7 years, 2002, internet had great penetration, with  internet cafes all over 3rd world, and in "every" U.S. office and home.  I'd say 4 years is when 3rd world is using bitcoin like crazy.  Huge problem: it can't be used for much in-person retail work without some underlying private layer because it's too slow.  Even lite coin is 2.3 minutes too slow.

It can't go too fast because most people who make 100x on 5% of their net worth invested are having their life completely changed and it's hard to stay more than 50% in.  It needs to be at $600 for newcomers to think it's not at a peak.  So, without any news, we'll drift downward.

Between 5K-10K.


if the interest continues and the wall street big wigs start moving into it then who knows. its going to be an interesting 2014. 

[hilariousandco]

Hopefully a billion dollars each.

I'll take a guess at 5k by this time next year. 2014 is gonna be exciting for Bitcoin for sure.

12500$

[empoweoqwj]

around $5K. But I'm being a bit conservative there I think. When I joined in March (a whole 9 months ago) it was $40 ....

[guybrushthreepwood]

I'll speculate at between 5000 and 10,000. If we can get some big businesses to start accepting them I think the value will go even further.

[DeboraMeeks]

it's really difficult to tell as bitcoin volatility is so unpredictable and any news could switch it in the opposite direction and either increase or decrease it value. so I guess it mainly depend on the the mainstream acceptance and use.

In the absence of unexpected news, our predictions create reality.  Our predictions are the intrinsic value.

I see it stabilizing around $1000 by end of the year 2013 and then in 2nd quarter of 2014 getting to around $1500 and then we will see another bursted bubble around 3d quater 2014 and back down to $900 - $1000 with an increase back to $1200 by Christmas 2014 but thats just my opinion.

I hope Im wrong and we get up in the $2k or $4k range over 2014 but until everyone stops selling off their coins at the first sign of a decline in price we will continue to see volatility in the price, its just like the dot com crashes back in the day one day your M$ stock was worth $150 a share and the next day it was worth $30 a share because everyone got scared they would loose their a$$ and sold everything.

[Qbeczeq]

I think price will be stable, systematically falling off from now. Maybe till next crisis, war or something
