[talkbitcoin]

all of these numbers are pure guesses and that makes them unrealistic. not because the number itself is big but because the person making that guess didn't make it based on much else but his guess.

for instance $1 million is nothing for bitcoin, we will reach it eventually but McAfee saying it was because he wanted to gain attention not because he made some analysis can made an educated guess!

[Arroware]

I think the prediction of bitcoin prices in the next 5 years will also increase, because seeing the price is getting better now, so for  we still have a better chance we can get more bitcoin now, because now the price is still not expensive, so we will get more profits in the future.

[quandong]

I think by the end of 2018, the Bitcoin price will reach $ 100,000 at the end of December. Now that most businesses can choose to receive the final payment with Cryptocurrency.

how about 1 Bitcoin = 1 lambo lol

isn't that just speculation? still all of them return to the current market situation, no predictions are truly accurate in my opinion. the probability is true only 20%. that's my opinion.

everyone has his own opinion.

[Proctopus90]

That's an interesting post. All the predictions given by the persons are some big personalities cryptocurrency market. But nothing is predictable in cryptocurrency market. Let's see if any one of their prediction comes true.

[GoldenLad]

Pantera Capital and Tom Lee predictions sort of sounds realistic to me and it's more vividly that it could happen. Though, I'm not hundred percent putting my bets in to but it's still possible. Who knows,  we could have had that price this late September judging from the way many investors hyped and linked bitcoin with that ETF acceptance.

[tomahawk9]

Tom Lee, the well known Wall Street bull, changed his narrative a few days ago and said that the btc price could reach $20,000 at the end of the year [1]. Sounds to me like he no longer believe in the 25k target for this year.

I think i'm going with those prediction around the 20k-25k in 2018, I find them to be way more realistic predictions than the others. I don't buy those +100k in 2020 or 2022 preditions, I think those are random numbers came from people desperate for attention.

1. https://www.ccn.com/tom-lee-bitcoin-to-hit-20k-in-2018-despite-struggle-of-emerging-markets/

[DimBug]

To be honest, these are just predictions and not words carved in stone that this will be the end result in the mentioned time period. And the amounts are based on pure guess. And frankly, one million is not a big deal for BTC to reach and looks under valued. It will be better to not to reply on this prediction too much.

[cryptojohnn7]

Prediction is just the statistical summary. But no guarantee that it always be correct.Fluctuation is always present in markets. After all, The prices of Bitcoin is still high, nearly $8k.

I will try to choose number 4 because the price is quite reasonable and everyone will be able to agree with me about this price although I want bitcoin price to grow up 100,000$ by December 2018.

[Harlot]

Top 5 in terms of what? The lower the possibility of that price prediction happening? If that so you are correct by the order you have created it to be sa 1,000,000$ in 2 years is really not happening? If you notice it by now when the price reached its ATH at 19,000$ a lot of the people here are itching to offload their shares already what made you think that 1 million dollars in in 2 years will be an easy road for BTC? The simple answer is it won't be many people already have targeted their sell prices even before your 1,000,000$ will come true.

[wasdconcac]

In my opinion, bitcoin prices are always changing every day and it is difficult to analyze and predict. Actually the 5 bitcoin price forecasts are not accurate, but in my opinion, by the end of 2018, 1btc = $ 30000. Certainly bitcoin prices will bounce back to what we do is to wait and take advantage of the opportunity when it arrives.

These prediction are just a common opinion we don't consider these things because last year also many peoples predict some future possibilities but total market is oppositely react so we should think positive but don't think huge value because again we only affected in end of the year. I think it will cross 10k USD in 2018 and next year it should reach 20k USD.

[koincik]

Prediction number three is the best one for me. I think it will be the highest price of bitcoin will be around 100k.

[boyptc]

The most realistic are Tom Lee's and Pantera Capital's but seriously I want to see it go up to $100,000 for this year. Nothing is impossible to bitcoin but John McAfee's lost his credibility.

Tim Draper's prediction for 2022 is way reliable than John's.

how about 1 Bitcoin = 1 lambo lol

Haha the magic word has appeared "lambo".

5.  1 BTC = $20,000 by December 2018 – Pantera Capital

Which one is more realistic and do you think it will come to past?
 

I think John McAfee will be more accurate, because in the last few years since the birth of bitcoin or the popularity of bitcoin from low prices up to now is very high, it will not be surprised if 2020 will rise to that.

[Mhd-Bobbi]

I think by the end of 2018, the Bitcoin price will reach $ 100,000 at the end of December. Now that most businesses can choose to receive the final payment with Cryptocurrency.

I'm not sure the price of Bitcoin will reach $ 100,000 by the end of December. Because of its development I see little by little. I am more confident 1 BTC = $ 20,000 at the end of December 2018

Which one is more realistic and do you think it will come to past?
 

They aren't predictions, they're simply guesses. My guess is that Tim Draper's is most likely to be true, just because I'm discounting 3-5 because I don't think that the market will recover so soon and $1m bitcoin in 2 years is just ridiculous, much like the person who predicted it.

[millensharon8]

Tim Draper still sound a lot realistic to me which is where I would rather tend towards. $250k by 2022 is something that is quite possible to achieve with all things being equal.

Pantera capital would have been a bit close to what would seem can fall in place, but I doubt with the present state of the market if we may get to see this, but time will definitely tell on that one since we have very few months to complete 2018 anyway.

Kay Van-Petersen is the most unrealistic of all which is somehow on the same ground with John. John McAfee is not a surprise since he has been insensible with his bullish sentiments over time, even on shitcoins, that you tend to ask yourself sometimes if he is probably high on something or taking some hard drug.

If you are going to look at the current price, seems that no one will hit their prediction specially the last 3 you mentioned. There's no way that we can get to another all-time-high this year. It will take a lot of money just to be able to get to 5 digits alone, so my answer would be no one will get their predictions right, not even close. Would be happy to see the price along the $10000-$12000, more realistic that those bullish speculators on the list.

All individuals who are just looking to sell the top. These people aren't interested in Bitcoin as currency or store of value, so why should we even care about their opinion? Tim Draper is somewhat of an exception since he has been a Bitcoin advocate for years, but also very much hinting towards the investment aspect.

The only thing I see these people talk about is that Bitcoin will reach this or that level, where is the utility? Why are they not recommending people to use it as money? If I introduce Bitcoin to new people it's all about money and store of value, where the investment aspect is just a (positive) side effect with how small Bitcoin still is today.

If I have to choose one option anyway, then I'll be on Tim's side. I would however lower it to $100,000 in all honesty.

[Este]

The market condition of bitcoin is perfectly fine. The project of it is also running well. You predict the price but I think the price will rise more in this time. And after five years it will be work as an alternative currency in some country.

[Eatund79]

The bitcoin price will increase every day and the market position is also very good. So its very hard to predict the price after five years. I believe it will be reach a huge amount and the holder of it get huge profit.

[SlashEject]

I think its totally unpredictable to guess the prices of bitcoin so early. It seems so unrealistic. And also the numbers are high. It totally depends on how the market goes.

[haroldtee]

Predictions does not solve anything as what we should be clamoring on should be; what could be the level of demand, and usage of bitcoin as a currency in few years time?

This is the only thing that would be able to bring some sustainable value and not just speculative value that usually do not last and are just there for those who would rather focus more on the speculative part of things to make themselves richer by misleading other gullible smaller investors, than what is important.

They all sound unrealistic to me, but the closest I can still say is more realistic is Tim Draper's prediction compared to the rest.

[Flin+piclo]

Isn’t it so unrealistic that predicting the prices of bitcoin so early? I know everyone has his own opinion, but it seems unreal. The price totally depends on the market situation.

[robertcross07]

First of all I think the prices of bitcoin depends on how the situation of the market goes. Though everyone has his own opinion, so we can not talk much about this. I think we should check situation of market.

[croptodic]

The prediction from analyser that can be said as statistical returns.You know that it is not centralized like banking systems but it is decentralised.Prices fluctuating always. I study on the top prediction, but i'm sure this prices will increase more they are prediction in the next Five years.

Which one is more realistic and do you think it will come to past?
 

All of these are extremely bullish predictions that are probably never going to materialize.

Just to be clear here, I'm not a bitcoin bear by any means, but once you see that $20k by the end of the year is the lowest prediction on the list, you get a feel of how absurd some speculator opinions are, especially in mainstream media.

The fact is that most of these, especially Tom Lee and John McAfee, are just saying these to get media attention for clickbait titles. There is nothing more than that. They've repeated the same things hundreds of times, and are permanently bullish even when their previous speculation does not pan out.

Anyways, an ATH is next to impossible at the moment by the end of the year, due to the bearish sentiment within the market. We could see a bull market re-emerge by 2020, but that would not take BTC anywhere close to $1 million.

[Nicolaus Copernicus]

I believe that bitcoin price will increase more in five years because we already see that the price is getting more better. So we still have a good chance to work on more bitcoin. If we do it we will be huge profitable.

Which one is more realistic and do you think it will come to past?
 

In all anticipation. I only saw "5. 1 BTC = $ 20,000 in December 2018 - Pantera Capital" is the most realistic and feasible. The market is still falling and the price so high in 2018 is unlikely

[frcat]

John McAfee is just a big liars and I think everyone know this already.
Kay Van-Petersen - dont know who is this.  
Tim Draper invested in some solid projects. So we can trust him I think.
Tom Lee just a clown and he changes his mind every week. So dont trust him.
Pantera Capital - is a solid fund. They invested 10% of their money in ICON.

But in anyway - we can make our own research and dont trust this experts. But Im agree. We will see at last 50k per BTC in near future. But... when? Probably in next year only. Now is a time to buy promising coins and hold...

[chulos]

According to these options, i am inclined to option number 5, the bitcoin price of 20k $ from December 2018. It is only predictions that may not be the reality, rather i tend to suggest another forecast and that, according to a survey conducted by the consulting company Satis Group, Bitcoin in the next five years to reach $ 100,000. These predictions may or may not be completed, but it is good to talk about them. At any given time, it is debated whether bitcoin $ 10 or $ 1000. So why not now.

Which one is more realistic and do you think it will come to past?

If I am to pick anyone at all, that would be Tim Draper's prediction even though it sounds like something that may not be that much attainable in 5 years’ time, but at the same time, who could have thought bitcoin could even test the previous ATH we had last year and what everyone thought would be the highest was $10,000.

Nevertheless, just like 1Refree mentioned, we should not be so much focused on this prediction things as they are irrelevant to the growth and development of the space, and what is very important now is to see big time development which would tend towards people utilizing it for what it is and not just because they want to get overtly rich in few years’ time.

Would be happy to see the price along the $10000-$12000, more realistic that those bullish speculators on the list.

Predictions about the Bitcoin are not accurate like stable price of any other product due to its unstable price movement we can not predict accurately. Almost all the predictions are not right and have uncertainty in it after finding it different in the time of actual value of Bitcoin or any other coin for which we predict. Experts presented that Bitcoin will hit higher than 30k dollar by the end of this year so I think it will happen but can be little different than 30k dollar value.

[Question123]

The most realistic price for me to bitcoin is the 25,000 dollars compared to the top3 because that is very high. But 100k dollars is possible to happen but we don't know when it happen. But no one can predict what exactly price of the bitcoin in the next few years. But i hope the price will be stable and increasing in the next few weeks to see again more than 20k dollars.

[wildflower18]

Prediction of btc price as stated above could not be realistic because of higher prices. Still, I prefer to choose close to the price that can easily reach possibly touch $20k. Hard to judge these days if what price can cross this year because of the strong fluctuations.

[zazarb]

There are so many predictions about all cryptocurrencies. But i do not really think anybody should believe on prediction by 100%. If prediction for a short period you could draw attention to it but no one knows what will be the value of cryptos in long term, all that pridiction more guesses.
But if you have to choose one I would say its Pantera Capital , because his guesses  are the smallest.

[engesi]

The reason why the price of Bitcoin can be improved rapidly last year is because it is widely used in commercial hype, but since this year, I have not found more use of Bitcoin, I don't think its price will rise rapidly. To $20000!

[ivannalog814]

I don't believe any of these predictions ! I believe that bitcoin will be traded in the range of 15 000-25000 $ in 2019 and in 2020 will overcome the threshold and go to 30 000 $ and in 6-7 years from will be more than 100 000 $ ! Also, I think we will see more to adjust the rate in 3 years !

Agree! This is one of the reasons bitcoin has become more of a speculative asset as people rather focus on the thing that is just a side benefit and then discard the real life usage as currency aspect and utilize the functions and benefits it brings. It is this utilization that would bring about real and sustainable demand and not just some huge fluctuations to the top and down to the bottom all in the name of some people speculating to make their pockets bigger at the expense of others.

[withlove99]

all of these numbers are pure guesses and that makes them unrealistic. not because the number itself is big but because the person making that guess didn't make it based on much else but his guess.

for instance $1 million is nothing for bitcoin, we will reach it eventually but McAfee saying it was because he wanted to gain attention not because he made some analysis can made an educated guess!

I don't think these predictions will be accurate.
Although they are celebrities but I see the price will don't go by what they say, because the price is determined by market not them

I read same comments two years ago when someone said 10k dollars until the end of 2017. Price went higher double more! It's not pure guessing it's history. We have 3 more months until the end of this year and we will see last two predictions from litecoin owner and pantera capital, 100k by the end of 2018 form Van-Petersen is failure probably, it's too big rise for so short period of time.
I think 20k by the end is possible, I give less then 20% chances for that to happen, in gambling 20% chances to win are high sometimes.
All in all this is a nice list of predictions made by sound names from crypto world, some are very optimistic, but why not, everyone has a right to believe in what ever they wish. My wish is to see bitcoin over 10k before the end of this year and that to be new bottom, that is reasonable I believe.
