Bitcoin Price Could Surpass $15,000 This Week: Max Keiser

[Slow death]

Early Bitcoin investor Max Keiser tweeted today that he foresees Bitcoin price smashing through the $15,000 mark sometime this week amid troubles with centralized government and banking.

There are 3 days left to finish the week and the price is $ 11500 and without any chance of reaching $15000, which leads me to question:

What reasons did he have for making this prediction that is impossible to achieve? is he aware that he should not make price predictions that he knows will be impossible to achieve? Because I can't understand why he makes such a prediction.

so I doubt this prediction will become true since it seems we have already reached the full potential of this bullish movement.

I think it would be good if Max Keiser read this thread's post, maybe he would realize that people are not naive

Weekend is here and we are in 11k+, I don't see any 15k price coming anytime sooner.
If the price suddenly pumps up to 15k just a day then something is definitely wrong.
The price of 15k is achievable but there is a likelihood that it will be on the closing of the year. Though, his price prediction seems way more realistic than others.
My concern is that many might want to sell because of the issue of with banking and centralized government.

[fabiorem]

It seems he missed the mark.

We are probably going to have a correction right now.

Everyone will predict the best and highest price of Bitcoin, of course.
But that is only two news possibilities, true and false.
End of 2019, in 2020 many say the same thing bitcoin can reach $ 15,000 to $20,000.
But it's all just predictions, just look at this week or this year as high as the price of Bitcoin will arrive.
The problem is, invest now at a price of $ 11,000 to sell for $ 15,000 this week.

So what happen now?this the week is almost done yet bitcoin struggles to hit atleast $12k?though this might sound positive but misleading because people here are tired of speculating what we need is actual happening and profit lol
Imagine the whole 2018 brings us burden and so much speculations but what happen!?people are trapped and until now hard to atleast recovered the losses

Obviously, nothing happens just because Max Keiser said so. It's just an empty prediction based on geopolitical turmoil.

If people are tired of speculating they shouldn't be here. They chose to invest but lost, that's not Bitcoin's fault. Bitcoin has gone up from below $4000 to almost $14,000 this year.... If people didn't manage to benefit from that run even once, they suck.

If you bought in during 2017's bull run at +$10,000 levels, you could have lowered your average tremendously by buying below $4000 (which you had months for to do). If people did that they would be in the profit right now. Smart capital allocation is definitely not on people's mind.

Lol, you think that they don’t know that they are being naïve about some of their statements, of course they now, but they just have to do their work has an influencer. If you were in their shoes too, you would do the same thing, because most of these influencers have lots of their money tied in the investment, and the best way for them to protect their investment is to keep promoting it in the best way that they can.

The week has ended already and I have still not seen the sign of his prediction coming through, maybe in his world, they are simply referring to month as week, because that is when it is quite visible to me for the value of bitcoin to break that barrier, for now, I think this current price is what the week may end with, while we see what another new week will hold for us.

You can not totally believe any first-time investor to Bitcoin that he can sure predict the movement of bitcoin by just seeing that it can, I really think that the range in the price that time or back then surely can not surpass even $12,000 USD or maybe Max Keiser is trying a method where he may pull out some naive person just wants to profit faster and that could shake things up and tilt the price of bitcoin if he pulls something like crazy statement without further thinking over it.

Well, Research and see some real expert in the community that had pulled out predictions that came true.

This was just a prediction afterall.
If you see the price of Bitcoin now, then it's way down.
So the price are both growing amd falling.
There will be a continuous growth of streak,  if the marketcap of BTC increases.
Let's hope for the best.

It is actually going that route right now, it was under 10k just couple days ago and now its close to 12k (above 11.5k at least) and that means we are actually in a upwards momentum. People are waiting for 15k like its some kind of magic number that would solve all the problems but I feel like any upwards movement is quite good right now since we need some sort of hype. However without actually keep going up there won't be too much to really look for, sure the increase is amazing but we have to keep it up and create some sort of hype.

When bitcoin goes too high than even newspapers start to write about it and that makes the worlds difference to us, more people start to join and more money starts to pour into the market and than not only bitcoin but all other coins take advantage of it.

People are waiting $15k for profit, nothing else - many invest when they see that $10k will hold and that this is not bull trap. If you invest $1000 recently, some $500 would be nice profit, but this time of year it never was good time for price pumping. Even if whales try to start new FOMO, they forget it is a summer time on northern hemisphere, and this is bad time for investing in anything. If someone does not agree with this theory, just look at this forum - many members are inactive or less active in last 30-40 days.

Max Keiser is just trying to shoot blindly on target which is movable, and it is no surprise that he missed it, question is just for how much.

[jakelyson]

But the reality, bitcoin is not reaching that price and only moving in below than $12k.

He overestimated the value of bitcoin but the thing is, the price still moved up. He may be wrong with the final price but it did have a bullish trend until yesterday. It is typical of him to overestimate so I was actually expecting the price to be within this range.

The market on a good rhythm and looking strong at the moment .I don't know how this news will affect on the market .But its a possible price that could be touched .The price is around 11500$ at the moment Not so far from 15K$ .Hopefully we can watch 15k$ in the recent time .

But OP's topic is about the prediction of Max Keiser this week.  So I guess Max Keiser will possibly fail big time in this prediction.  Sub $12k to $15k in just a day has a very slim chance IMHO.  I wonder how these people who failed in their prediction feels.  Do they feel any embarassment about it?

Bitcoin has already had a lot of mainstream media attention, and it doesn't seem to be over yet as long as the price manages to hold around current levels. Bitcoin did well, altcoins not so much and that's the reality of the day.

The thing here is that when Bitcoin dips below $10k again, and stays there for quite a while, the media attention will decline and you'll be back to square one. This is why I don't like focusing too much on the media side of things.

The media is just a price surfer and has its own agenda to cover Bitcoin related news-- they know exactly what kind of news coverage they want to push, and this is something we shouldn't contribute to.

Bitcoin this year has gone up from its low all the way to $8000 without much media coverage. Only because of how more likely it became that the price would break $10k the mainstream media started to cover it again.

There is the mystery word. "COULD".

Another bullish prediction but in the end, it didn't even went to $13,000. I have enough of this bullish predictions already. I'll just wait for the movement of Bitcoin and will accumulate more base on how I read charts. This is another news hype for Bitcoin but unfortunately, it didn't happened. I think the investors matured a bit regarding news hypes.

You are right. There are always many people that called themselves expert people but they only make some guesses about bitcoin's price. I personally don't pay attention to such people and their predictions. 

[fabiorem]

This is a forum about speculation. If you are here, then you are paying attention to every sort of predictions.

Just see the predictions, most of them are saying that bitcoin will reach 14000$ - 15000$ but when it will happen ? No one is telling us this.
The bitcoin moved around 12,000$ and then went back to 11,390$.  There are very few real traders who can perfectly read the charts and predict precisely.

[wildflower18]

Everyone could make predictions about bitcoin price so it on our own belief if we follow it. Price ranging above 11$ but as the current condition about the price is we are really not certain if we can see bitcoin could surpass $15k. Definitely, no one knows when it will occur in the market.
