By December 31st, 2014 we will have touched $5000/BTC

[GigaCoin]

I"m with smoothie on this prediction, all it takes is approx 4x - 6x Market cap growth for us to reach $4000-$5000 range. It's still a lot of money but i'm pretty sure wall street will get us there.

LiteCoin will follow and grow to $200+ Levels

That's not much of a prediction.

Okay please make a prediction and show me how to make one.

Despite all of the correct ones I have had. I'm willing to hear you out. Teach me o wise one.  

You can't always be right, the momentum is dead. Even Goldman Sachs released a new study saying crypto is shitty investment and is all hype that makes no sense. Doesn't really offer anything and current systems can be easily upgraded to match all features of bitcoin

I can make predictions in a bull market and always look like a prophet. But the bitcoin bull market is over .

$5000 won't happen and if does I'll give u my hot girlfriend that I posted about earlier u can view her in off topic.

Dont make empty promises lol.

You are on haha!

Always use escrow.  I'd like to volunteer.  Please send over girlfriend so I can hang on to her till bet is resolved.

The 'number of unique bitcoin addresses used daily' is at a new all time high on a 30-day average.

Honestly what the fuck would they know about crypto

...we have had only about 1-2% mainstream acceptance...everyday we get more and more as the layers of the onion are exposed

When we see bitcoin mining rigs on late night tv then we are starting to hit a sturation point .....aka Ostrich farming

Also coming from a finance background the establishment want us to fail ...as we are not under their control ...in a way this gives us all the oppurtunity to make some profit b4 the big guys come in with 500 million and blow us out of the water

I have known smoothie since my day 10 in crypto and one thing that I know 100%.... is that he is right 9 times out of 10 ..I think he was born with a private key embeded in his skin ..he knows this market very well

Personally i am in the process of getting all of my 401k and creating an investment company to invest in btc

I have been through 2 end of year cycles now and they are always so awesome ..it makes u happy to be alive

I agree with the OP. Legit  
I think $5000 will be eventually reached. Bitcoin either goes main stream or it dies. I do not see a middle solution.

The middle solution is what you have now: a "steady" rise in value and visibility. The other 2 extremes seem more unlikely to me, as much as I would like to see it going mainstream as soon as possible.

EDIT:

I don't know about $5000, but you're not very attached to your hot girlfriend, are you?  

I am, but it shows you how much confidence i have in smoothie's prediction failure.

Or you're gay and want to get rid of your hot GF

[Sparkzor]

Could somebody give me a quote on cosmofly's girlfriend in BTC so we can bet using BTC instead?

0.001337 BTC?

Oh mate that hurts

This heavenly beauty is worth a lot more

BTC will reach 600 before 31dec 2014
Is she mine now?

[Skinnkavaj]

I would say 10K USD / BTC.
But LTC will still see higher returns.

I expect LTC/BTC ratio to touch 0.1 atleast once under 2014.

[porcupine87]

I think 5000$ are possible. It depends on the news(= adoption fpr good news). There will be no technical problems, and the problems with exchanges will lose impact. The biggest rsik factors are the goverment regulations and people losing coins through scam or hacking.

I am not sure about that. Litecoin has a big community and reputation. But only little innovation over Bitcoin. Otherwise Dogecoin has no innovations and just behind PPC.

How are the chances, that another altcoin becomes the #2 with >5% of Bitcoins market cap?

[marcovaldo]

I doubt it but we will see

[vpitcher07]

I wouldn't be surprised to see 5k a coin if:

- winklevoss ETF is approved
- US government approves BTC as some type of legal tender
- Wider adoption (specifically sites like amazon google facebook etc...)
- 5% of the worlds population uses it.

[smoothie]

I wouldn't be surprised to see 5k a coin if:

Go on...

I think 1% would take BTC to $50,000 easily. 5% is huge.

Very true....perhaps 5% of the US population.

[Biomech]

5 percent of the population... That's huge. If it gets there, I think 50k would be more realistic. You're talking like the entire popluation of the Americas there...


EDIT. I got beat

[BittBurger]

Careful.

Smoothie carefully said "would touch $5000 before..."

Meaning it could hit $5,000 for five minutes sometime in the next 10 months then skydive to $200 for the entire rest of the year   Technically...

As for mainstream copying Bitcoins functionality easily and outdoing it ... lets just be thankful that every day that passes, builds more power into Bitcoin being "the one" even if the Govt makes a copy later.

Every day that goes by:  more name recognition, more adoption, more businesses building their operations around Bitcoin specifically, more infrastructure being formed around Bitcoin.

If that goes on long enough, by the time the Govt/Banks create a clone for their systems, it won't matter.

lol Yes and pigs fly for 0.0000001 seconds when they jump.

Over the next 10 months I can see the price touching $5000 but I doubt it would go to $200 shortly thereafter.

I would think they'd fly a bit longer than that... And when they suit up and get in helicopters. Oh, wait, you meant actual pigs. Or did you

Anyway, on a slightly more serious note, do you base your prediction on anything in particular, or just guts? FWIW, I think you'll likely be right, based on trends I'm watching AND my gut. Just not willing to commit like you did

Well, if you're talking about commitment, he isn't the one willing to bet his girlfriend on it...
