There's no way it's five digits unless there's a decimal in between there somewhere. 
I'll predict we don't break $1,000 this year, any takers?

thats crazy talk!!!

how much you wana bet?

I'll do up to 2BTC.  The price on bitcoinaverage.com does not go above $1,000 USD between now and 12/31/14 at 23:59 UTC.  Deal? 

Can I also accept this deal for 0.5 bitcoin? I'd like myself some free money.


me and zimmah will both pool 0.5 to bet 1btc against kibble; kibble bet 1btc against us and we can set this up

Ok so far we have:
zimmah: .5BTC
elianite: .5BTC

The terms are: The price on bitcoinaverage.com does not go above $1,000 USD between 5/25/14 and 12/31/14 at 23:59 UTC.  In the case where bitcoinaverage.com does not exist at the end of the bet, bitcoinity.org will be used.

Due to how long it has taken us to get back to the previous ATH, a lot of people are going to dump when we're near/at it again. This is going to create a ton of resistance. People are going to be afraid that as soon as we get to 1.2k again it'll drop and will want to exit before that happens.

And yet, last time we zoomed right by $266 like it didn't exist.

Bitcoin has by definition only ONE important digit: one bit is either 1 or 0. That means you either have one or none. THAT is the essential thing about bitcoin Smiley

If we reach $40K, I'm out Smiley And I do think $10K is possible this year.

Why would you ever trade away all your Bitcoins? Just re-balance your portfolio.

OK, I'll admit I'll probably keep 1 just in case, we hit really BIG money. But I have a figure in mind that I need to build my dream house & when we get there, I'll sell the vast majority of my coins.

Patience will reward you.  I know you're somewhat new here.  Have you looked at Risto's SSS plan thread?  You really should read it.

I am super bullish on Bitcoin long term, but I agree that $1,000 is feeling a lot more iffy than it was in January.

-B-

We'll hit $1000 in July.

The only way we are still at 5 digits at the end of the year is if we go into a double run (which happened in 2011 IIRC) and only dip back once by the end of the year. In that case we could even see prices close to 40k during fall. Although the chances of that happening are probably below 1%

If we reach $40K, I'm out Smiley And I do think $10K is possible this year.

$40,000 a coin means bitcoin is clearly doing something right. If anything that should be more incentive to stay IN, and like another forum member has stated, just rebalance your portfolio or take a percentage rake (look up SSS Simple and Sane Savings plan for Bitcoin).

Depends on timeline, if $40,000 is reached quicly, like in one year, selling makes sence. Hopefully it will take at least 5 years of developments to get there, not just quick bubble speculation

I think we are definitely going to maintain bitcoin's long term history of..... UP......but I think 5 figures is pretty optimistic, just thinking about the last bubble and the way it fizzled out after only what, less than 5x the previous ATH? I wonder if the next bubble will be bigger than that....

Due to how long it has taken us to get back to the previous ATH, a lot of people are going to dump when we're near/at it again. This is going to create a ton of resistance. People are going to be afraid that as soon as we get to 1.2k again it'll drop and will want to exit before that happens.

Im not even convinced of this rally yet. But, if it does test the ATH, I tend to agree with you here. There is a lot more money at stake now than in the early 2013 bubble or the 2011 bubble. But also, if we dont break the ATH in the next year and dont keep up pace with the 2013 bubbles, what effect do you think that will have on people that are currently bullish in the market? Smiley

I have the feeling we're going to push towards the ATH, if for no other reason than people manipulating the market to make it happen just to show that Bitcoin is "healthy." I think if we didn't hit the ATH in the next year (or, really, much less than that) it may cause the value to stop dropping because it's going to be a sign that the Bitcoin bubble, as a whole, has burst.

This old chestnut again?

who is chestnut?



Not who, what.  Smiley

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_%28joke%29

Quote
Chestnut is a British slang term for an old joke, often as old chestnut. The term is also used for a piece of music in the repertoire that has grown stale or hackneyed with too much repetition.

Old, stale, hackneyed.

Like the question of when bitcoins first reach $10,000.00.

I'm pretty certain that we'll reach our previous ATH. I'm thinking we might hit 1.5k. But 5 figures? That's a bit of a stretch at this point.
