I am not sure where Bitcoin will stand in two years, but at the rate of adoption and considering how many companies do invest, I see a good time coming.

This seems to be the point Andreas Antonopoulos said awhile ago before all this recent news give it 2 years, i have to agree there is a lot of reasons that good things are coming, 10,000 btc atm just started in Spain and they are in talks with other country's to get them to adopt, the 21 $116million to name just a few i am sure lots more to come. There will be exciting times to come for bitcoin not sure 2 years but within 5 Smiley

Yes, good things are coming but I think that we will have to wait longer than 2 years.
In order to make breakthrough and become mainstream we really need many more ''big'' merchants to accept BTC and this will not happen as fast as we want.
We have to educate people about BTC, get more users and inspire merchants to start accepting bitcoin and this is job for all of us Smiley
If everybody help, it will happen in 2 years, otherwise we will need much more time.



Andreas didn't necessarly mean "2 years to explode". He may have meant 2 years to see Bitcoin is really here to stay and that things will start taking a very solid shape, not 1 million per coin so to speak.

It is already taking shape and has done for a couple of years already he has seen this and made an educated prediction or he has inside information where we are going, it is quite clear what he was saying. I am not finding it quite so clear what you are saying lol Who said anything about a $1,000,000 price? Nobody said anything about such price what was you reading to write that as a response? Do you read before you post .

1 million per bitcoin is not impossible but to suggest it will happen within 2 years is highly improbable
It could easy jump to well over 1k+ in that time frame though ,maybe even 10k if some of the new services take off .....
the sky is literally the limit,or the moon as we like to call it .......Smiley

My last post on here to rap this up, what are you reading to give us your opinion about 1million not happening? The thing is nobody said anything about 1million lol it will never come this i am fairly certain. My point nobody said anything about it so i am curious to what you guys was reading from them replies. I agree we may see 1k but you have to remember that we only went to 1k before was because of a pump by shady willy bot and to get there again we must have a lot of users which should come in the end and like you said we need to have a need for the coin for it to take of properly.

an eventual  million dollar valuation  has been thrown around by many people in the last year or two if you check for them ,heres one :
http://www.businessinsider.com/raoul-pal-on-bitcoin-2014-11

i think 5k would probably be attainable with a bit of luck in a 2 yr time frame because there is so much happening but something crazy would be needed to get up to 1 mil

either that or 30-50-100 years into the future its very possible a btc could equal 1 mil

I see it like this:
In 2 years, consolidation of Bitcoin surviving this horrible crash from the bubbled price, proves it has a solid future.
In 5+ years, we go 10K due mass mainstream adoption.

Andreas said this at the O'Reilly Radar Summit "Bitcoin and the Blockchain" in San Francisco.

Here you can watch it --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8FCRZ0BUCw#t=14m00

Its's worth to watch the whole video. But the most interesting he said at 14:00 to 17:00 min.

"What happens if Goldman Sachs build GoldmanSachsCoin?.Let them build it...". Grin
He seems to be pretty confident about BTC's growing ecosystem and it's future.

Get a point of sale system that is widely adopted, and Bitcoin would take off in a couple of months.

This. I think the NCR's of the world hold they key to that. If they can be prevailed upon to include crypto currencies as an option in their current POS systems and make accounting simpler it becomes an easy choice for business owners. I work in the merchant processing industry and I can tell you first hand that mom an pop business are sick of visa, MC, Amex et. al.
But it doesn't matter what mom and pop thinks. If it did, Visa, Mastercard and amex would not succeed. But they did, because consumers choose what to use, not businesses. And so the key is to make acquiring bitcoins a smooth and painfree process, rather than making it easier for businesses.

Bitcoin is already here (obviously) for those in the know. Mass adoption isn't going to come in the form we thought it would with everyone adopting Bitcoin and exiting the established financial system. It will be in the protocols, it will be what CS majors need to study especially if they want to find a job in the future financial markets.

Would you agree or not?

Bitcoin Only Needs Two Years


Hmmmm... I respect the guy yeah.. But I do not know where his information came from.
2 years might be a little bold.. Maybe give it 3-5 years. I am still having doubt about that.

What do you think?

I believe the guy.

If you are aware of whats happening to bitcoin right now. You will know that this guy knows where Bitcoin will be in 2 years time.

Why does he have to say that?
To make us hope? I just wish he is right.
Well we live on a (supposedly) free country and he is free to make any prediction, and a 2 year positive prediction is objectively correct given our current coordinates.

2 years is indeed , way to quick. People are rushing remember that usd for example is waaay older than bitcoin.
A currency doesnt only need to be good , it needs to get people to change to their currency. and we're humans , it takes alot of time for some to change.

rewind back to  two years ago and see how much progress can be made in 2 years =$2 bitcoins

fast forward two years and the progress could be $2k or even $10k bitcoins.........

No, he doesn't say this to make us hope this or that.

He says this, because he knows.  He's involved with alot of different projects and works behinds the scenes with several of these startup and tech companies, so he knows what kind of money and investing is being thrown around (hundreds of millions of dollars).  He knows what kind of talent and geniuses are working at these firms to greenlight these projects.

It's not just dumb rhethoric and blowing smoke up everyone's ass.  There's more money and development being poured into Bitcoin related projects now, then there ever was at the year 6 marker for the Internet in the early 1990's...

I would say that two years is enough to show the true potential of Bitcoin to many.
