Topic: 2018 predictions - page 2. (Read 484 times)

I expect Bitcoin to go above $ 20,000. And only then I will make further plans. Now I'm buying Bitcoin and I'm waiting for testing $20,000.

I've left getting involved until only just last month, so seriously hoping this isn't the new stable level, or worse, the top of the bubble.  I see so many blockchain coins still in their incubator stages that have actual real-world uses, so I'm betting there's still plenty of upswing for 2018.  Fingers crossed anyway.

About the prediction, of course not necessarily will be exactly right and only can be ensure in accordance with the developments of the situation and conditions and interests / support from various parties (the people).
But apparently, as the price developments so far.. bitcoin price is always not be far from the highest price already reached, I'm sure bitcoin would be still continue tends lead to a higher direction although often would be accompanied by a decline.
And most likely due of the increasing of enthusiasts and known by many people from a different countries, bitcoin price will continue trying to reach a higher values. For the next.. I'm sure it will be at $20k upwards.

I think bitcoin would be selling at $100k by December 2018.

The stable growth of bitcoin has been there since the past years and this beginning of 2018 it showed a slow movement although that seem to be good. I don't want to see it moving quick and then it will plummet. I started with bitcoin when it was still on 3 digit's time and for the past years I think the price will still be good for this year and I do believe we'll see the unexpected price of bitcoin in a positive.

This year we will reach over $25.000, We just need a lot of news like this:

Peter Thiel’s VC Fund Invests Millions Into Bitcoin, Market Reacts
Bitcoin Billionaires Hiding in Plain Sight
Bitcoin Adoption by Businesses in 2017




I do not believe that the prediction he made comes true someday.



Just relax and have a coffee and watch the price go to the moon.

BTC is the biggest crypto project but it showed very strong stable growth which is very important. BTC did 16x which is really big number but it's still not super high number (compared to ETH for example or XRP...)

It was good already at $17,000 earlier but it's starting to drop again at $16,000 but this way is better than to see bitcoin at $13,000 and be stable there. My prediction is just like others that bitcoin will be possible hitting $20,000 very soon. No one knows but we are heading there, we just have to keep on holding and let the market play for itself and while us who are holders will wait for a perfect time to sell.

I think it 2018 BTC will be stable around 20k (which was almost reached when futures trading opened!). We'll see...

I know it could sound little far-fetched, but can you direct me to a place where I can influence people towards changes. I can see a dim future for BTC if we don't make it useful as payment protocol again. I am also concerned that people which want it to fail already infiltrated it and divide people. I think everyone would agree we need BTC which is fast and cheap. Or why Roger Ver left?

i share your views. i got into bitcoin because it was a currency and could be used easily. but i still won't use an altcoin specially Ether with all the risks that introduces.

What went wrong? it is hard to say. the scaling issue was foreseen a long time ago (3 years or more) and there has been a debate over what to do about it. but the debate turned into fight over power at some point, specially with "businessmen" who only care about earning more money such as Roger Ver got involved in it. that made things to come to a near halt with bitcoin. and the sad part is there is corruption on all sides.

i really like Segregated Witness and the rest of the proposals that are coming such as Schnorr and the second layer LN and all the side chains and smart contracts. and i do believe that this is the way to go forward.
but the problem here is that all of these are Opt-In. as @1Referee said people aren't using SegWit that much!

and here is what i am afraid of, compressed public keys were introduced to bitcoin core version 0.6 on 30 March 2012. it reduces the transaction size by 32 byte per input, people were still not using it by 2015 as much as they should have, because it is opt-in. you still can use uncompressed ones and have a bigger transaction! SegWit and the rest may not take that long but it will still be a long while.

Predictions this year bitcoin will increase more fast than last year. 2017 for bitcoins is just a beginning.
Another crypto will increase also in this year. This year will more profitable than others.

All analyzes and data show that Bitcoin and Altcoin will increase this year. All that based on data that the current digital currency increasingly in demand for use and the increasing popularity of digital currency has changed the view of many people to the digital currency. Now the digital currency becomes an important thing because it is very influential on the economy in the world. I as a digital currency user believe that in the future everything will be much better, we've seen it in 2017. One example is Bitcoin, currently Bitcoin is growing and always shows a very positive trend, This is our initial capital and statements that can show that the future of digital currency is very bright.

Crypto era has already started by the end of december as altcoins are surging with huge pumps and gaining huge market cap like LTC,XRP, TRON have risen with 2500-3000% which is not an ordinary surge so we can make predictions that this year is going to be great for altcoins and btc is also rising and will reach to the level you speculated so have faith and stay calm.

I mean, when I got to crypto, Bitcoin was for $70 and we thought it's the next payment system. We were developing payment services and persuaded merchants to adopt Bitcoin. Now, it's just about money in Bitcoin. It's basically useless unless you count the brand. It's not digital gold if you can't sell it fast and cheap. It was meant to be money. A way how to take away the power from National banks and their inflation fiats. Why we need Segwit or LN or another layer on it. Just update the code so it could be used. I don't get it.

Nothing went wrong, really. It's just that the demand for blockspace has outperformed Bitcoin's current capabilities by a great magnitude. Segwit has been activated to give Bitcoin that extra push, and to buy time in the runup to Lightning Network, but it lacks serious adoption, which is a shame. Those who transact with Segwit, are enjoying lower transaction fees, but that only goes up for a far minority of the actual users here. If nothing changes in that regard, we just patiently have to wait for LN to make its public appearance. But hey, everyone is free to make use of an altcoin. It's an open market where no one forces you to stick with Bitcoin, which is a fantastic thing.

It's hard to predict. In my opinion, to continue this process by making a profit in short time periods that should be done. I think this is the most reasonable way to make a profit in this market.

I know it's a hard topic, but I am in crypto for quite some time, but one thing bothers me with Bitcoin. It's slow and expensive to move it so I don't do it and rather use Ether. It's also not useful for everyday life when you want to pay for goods. What went wrong?

The chances that bitcoin will burst is higher this midyear 2018 than it will go down. So I’ll predict it 70/30 by percentage. On my honest opinion it doesn’t matter for me, as long as bitcoin exist, buy at low and sell at high would always be what I do. Holding and being positive is always be the best thing to do at this issues. Cryptocurrency and it’s demand still on high trajectory.

My prediction bicoin will remain calm on this year maybe it will climb but not much,  and as i see eth nowadays is rising there's a possibility that bitcoin valued will stay at 14k-15k until mid year and then maybe altcoin will climb to the top.
