What kind of growth would last? Quick growth or slow and steady growth?

[maarx]

We had a huge pump in 2017 which did not last for even 2 months. But look at the growth trend from February 2018. Though the price fall of bitcoin was drastically huge, it just stayed above $5000 which should be noted closely. I like this growth trend and wish this continues. Such trend will seriously bring in strong and healthy investors into the crypto market. We would certainly and undoubtedly reach minimum $25K by end of 2020 not falling back to below $20K. Kindly bring out your thoughts on it.

I think it will break through $20,000 at the end of 2018 and should stay above $50,000 in 2019.

Actually it is very difficult to predict at present market situation. But you are right that in 2017 market was raised in uncontrolled position that aspection of crypto lovers raised high.So i think it should go with slow and steady that if it goes to fall, it would not like present market condition. So don't that where market will go in 2019/20 but think when market will go its previous condition.

[syaripudin]

until now I have not found a sufficiently accurate prediction from any source that mentions the growth of bitcoin in the future. but as we know, bitcoin moves up and down with a very slow motion and the positive thing that I get is that bitcoin currently has a fairly healthy response from investors who invest in bitcoin.

A typical example to back up my opinion in this discourse is a natural happening: the case of a hothouse. Artificial warmth there make seed to sprout almost spontaneously. Exposing such unnatural growths to natural weather conditions such as winds (even slight ones) could easily collapse the plants.

In contrast, think of a seed that will have to unconditionally surmount all challenges pose by nature to grow and become a tree...

[sunsilk]

Slowly but surely. This growth would last for a better time if the market would be always the same like where it is right now.

You can think of many things while its on the bear mode however while looking at that part, you'll manage to think that this bear is giving us an idea on how big is going to be the next bull run. We're not sure when it will happen but we are sure that it will come soon and that's any moment from now on.

Even in the basic endeavor of human lives, there most sustainable form of growth is a steady one. When you see an individual who suddenly became rich without any obvious growth period, much often than not, its always a phase that would soon pass. The same thing applies to companies set up by entrepreneurs that started and in one year became the talk of the society, if we group such companies together, 90% would go under before then next 5 years not because its a curse but certain growth needs time to find a base to mature and penetrate. For bitcoin, I would subscribe fully to this steady growth that have failed all self predictors of what the price will be to the general feeling of the entire market participants.

That grows is phenomenal if it can reach 20k and stay above it entirely in 2019 then we would really have the best of the times considering at present situation. though we have enter the last quarter of the year and expected to pick up some of the movement now and hopefully will be near 20k by 2018 end.

[slaman29]

Logic says slow and steady lasts, but if we look at Bitcoin, it has actually become quite a phenomenon in that it grows extremely quickly, before falling but maintaining some of that level and the climb back up again.

If we waited 10 years for slow and steady, from 10k BTCs for 2 pizzas, I doubt we would even be at $1000 today. So who knows? Maybe lightning fast is also sustainable.

[target]

I think it will break through $20,000 at the end of 2018 and should stay above $50,000 in 2019.

Too optimistic. Its not going to reach up to $10K this year that's where the market goes if you think of how it will go because its unsure what will happen when ETF is approved next year. Its been moved over and over.  The slow growth  of BTC right now is a positive sign but is going to be different from last year, this growth is safer than last which is like the pump and dump scam.

[hugeblack]

We have reached a stable stage where supply and demand stabilize at a given price of $ 6,500. The highest rate will be at $ 7,500 and a low cost at $ 5500.
I do not expect this approach to change so we may maintain this price for several months.
After significant changes such as the lightning network, regulations, mutual acceptance of these currencies, prices will change significantly.

If you're looking at a bit like an investment object , then surely everyone would like to that the rise will be steady and slowly. In this way, this market would be able to go up and down without any fear to increase their savings.

[Strufmbae]

I think it will break through $20,000 at the end of 2018 and should stay above $50,000 in 2019.

It really depends,  that's a huge expectation in 2019, remember how it gets stronger from time to time not just a year, but uptrend was just in a year,  however if it comes up to 20k above,  maybe the stable price if going to fluctuate in a certain time would stay lesser 20 or greater than 20k but 50k is kind of impossible in a short time.

My thought is that bitcoin really bubbled during December 2017 and we all know that those parabolic rise we saw is not going to be sustainable so eventually it crashed and we even witnessed it bottom at around $5800. Well right now we can call it stabilizing around the $6000-$6500 which is a good indication that at least the crash has halted and its time to wait for another break out run. We should now look at 2019 because I don't think that we can see another big leap in the price at the end of the year.

One thing with a huge spike in growth and most especially those that happen as a result of manipulations and greed, they can never be sustainable. It is a normal occurrence in any market and the market will always have to pass through stages, and trying to jump start it into becoming what it should not in a short term, the chances of seeing it retrace will always be there.

It is just like in normal life, you can force a child to grow quickly as there would always be a lot of things to learn along the line and if you take a child that is meant to be in basic school to a high school, his brain will not be able to sustain what is being taught. Just put that child in the case of bitcoin here.

So far, I can even say it is apparent that the market is always sustainable when there is a steady growth.

[el kaka22]

By now, I am sure everyone should have gotten the gist already that the only time a market can be very sustainable without much fear or greed is when the market is in a steady growth and even if there is a correction, it would not always be a very terrible one. As long as people get greedy, join FOMO and the market skyrockets for no reason at all except for greed, the chances of seeing a huge correction afterwards is definite and I am sure we have all seen an example lately and in the past as well. If it is a huge growth that came about based on real life usage and demand, that is a different case, but for something driven by speculations, that is not a good thing at all.

Your predictions are totally baseless. The price is not able to cross $7000 and you are talking about $20000 till the end of this year. It is totally nonsense. If you think that the price will once again bump like the previous years, there is nothing like that. The price will remain the same if there is no or low demand. It if reaches to $10000, it will be enough.

Quick growth is not guaranteed like the previous one. We have quick growth experience already, therefore I think that slow and steady growth is good and will last forever. When the price increases with the passage of time and according to the market cap it will never dump in the future, but if there is unnatural growth it will definitely collapsed suddenly.

Quick growth will last, in this I don't mean that price will rise 10x and keep the same, no. Bitcoin was stable 600-1000 usd for some months after fork. Then it begin to rise, at first 1000 usd was like an anniversary day, from 1000 we soon move on 2000, this continue on and on, as you see finally we got 20K, this growth was quick from the begining, nothing to mention about how quickly it grow by 4K in one week. Btw from this story, bitcoin felt but it's stable 6000K. I think there will be some skyrocket shit after the next fork, we will get absolutely more than 25K by the end of 2020 year.

No one can be right actually as no one can tell what the next month or the one thereafter would come up with, and the fact that we are still below $7k, does not mean we would cross it and eventually make it a support and then the chances of seeing some huge growth may be there, but like I said, no one can tell and nothing is guaranteed as we cannot see the future.

We have the time and trend however to lead us to knowing where the market would actually eventually end up at the end of everything. Nonetheless, based on the Op's question, quick growth that is driven by greed and not real demand is never sustainable.
