Bitcoin price PLUS $1000 - Would Bitcoin then see world wide acceptance?

[unexecuted]

its already worldwide accepted.. just not every business.

This isn't a bad idea. OP, I have some bitcoins I will sell you at a discount for only $1400 if you can make this happen.

[oceans]

I see it becoming popular with those that wish to sell however with those who wish to invest and buy bitcoins I don't see it being as welcomed as many may seem at that price. It would be a nice price if we knew we could sell at that price.

1000 is the psychological barrier (again). It was before it got beaten once, now we need to beat it again (and we will) to regain solid trust, just like a champion has to be champion 2 times to be considered more than a one hit wonder. Then people will wake the fuck up hopefully.

Price is decided by supply and demand, you can't set a price for bitcoins and hope it will be fixed forever.

True, but if there is something like Bitcoin central bank, their goal can be 1500 USD, so buy until price reach 1500 USD, and sell if over 1500 USD. This way price can fixed at 1500 USD, as long as the central bank has enought USD and Bitcoins to feed the market

Okay, you start. Buy my bitcoins for $1500 USD.

Everybody make a note of this post: Robin will sell me all his BTC. You got it as soon as it hits $1800 your BTC is mine at $1500. Yea buddy!!

If bitcoin would sky rocket there would be much more investors and companies accepting bitcoins, even large companies like ebay.. So yes  Bigger prices would  effect ALOT bitcoin adoption.

If bitcoin's price was higher, then people could purchase big amounts of it without losing a lot in slippage. Right now buying let's say $1000 000 000 in bitcoins would really move the market, you would have to pay much more for the last bitcoin than for the first one. And that's not much money if it comes from many different people.

Having a few people start thinking of bitcoins as being worth more won't suddenly or even slowly change the value of them.

It will if they put their money where their mouth is. If people consider that it's cheap, they'll buy, and therefore the price will increase.

Bitcoin price PLUS $1000, would that work???

If we're going to play make-believe like children, why not add a million billion dollars? You can't just make up the price, if you think you should only sell for $1500 someone else will be willing to sell cheaper

[polunna]

Acceptance/adoption is not driven by price, it's the other way around.

[bambino]

This is what you can do if you have a central bank.

The only thing bitcoin needs to get world wide acceptance is to educate the world with it

[littlewizard]

Current price is determined by the supply and need. Both sides believe the current price is acceptable.
If price rush to 1500 dollars, supply will be more than need and price goes down.
Free market determines the price.

[MasterCasino]

How can they see if the world lacks bitcoin education? They probably see this bitcoin as a scam....

[Itsumo]

"WORLDWIDE" is a very very big word.

[Peegasus]

It has been accepted by the public (who knows about bitcoin) at $500. Bitcoin should advertise their product more.

[GreatCoinBearer]

"WORLDWIDE" is a very very big word.

Canada-wide is the word. Or UK-wide. But not Jamaica-wide, Puerto-rico wide.

[goddyvips]

For seller it might be very good price to sell Bitcoin but for buyer it may be hard to buy Bitcoin.

[sifter]

Well when it hit $1000+ lots of people took an interest.

Richard branson and 50 cent, I'm sure that generated a lot of interest.
