Expecting another huge jump is almost too predictable. I feel like bitcoin has always been unpredictable/

I have a feeling we could see a slow year just like 2012, or even a first time negative trend the whole year (with increased FUD, bad news and more resistance form banks/govs). This could be the year that is unexpected, where more and more people lose confidence and start falling off the train, and only the true believers or delusional hopefuls continue to hold on. But once most people realize bitcoin brings financial control in the hands of individual, it will skyrocket. Most people again will miss the train again.

This was a good prediction, made at the time and not revised...

Thanks, and I agree... I've made several good predictions around here actually but no one listens Wink

Technology and Women. Amazing.

as much as i'd love to think about a $3k+ BTC this time next year, i don't think it'll happen. china embracing BTC a monthish ago was a huge catalyst for BTC market growth. something of this magnitude needs to spark a chain reaction of adoption in order for a 30x + increase in value to happen again. BTC is attractive because it comes off as being a low cost, GLOBAL payment network. excluding China from a GLOBAL payments system is bad news. when it comes to trading, especially in exports, China is a key player. without China, Bitcoin's "global" payment network seems weaker to the layman. and unfortunately, the layman's perspective is the one that matters when it comes to investing in the marketspace of innovation.

2-3k easily.

I can't believe how some people are shortsighted and can't see that stage is set for big players to enter. New investment funds keep coming in, angel investors sending millions to Bitcoin companies, we're few weeks/months from Bitcoin entering Wall Street etc, etc..

price range in 2014 would be 300-3k

This seems most plausible, except if some new way of Bubble forms...

If in fact your prediction is correct it sounds like something that could be by design allowing Gov's and whales to buy and hoard it all.
Excuse my ignorance with this question but wouldn't that much coin in the hands of ppl like that be able to greatly control it? ...and if they can control it then this makes it the same as fiat, is this correct?

Am I alone in thinking that hoarding can have little to no effect on the potential of Bitcoin? Yeah, it might have an affect on the trade value of Bitcoin, but again, the purpose of Bitcoin is not to be some kind of valued commodity. With one bitcoin, we have one hunderd million uBTC. If all the governments in the world hoarded 98% of all the bitcoins available, there would still be PLENTY for the people to use. The power Bitcoin gives to the people can not be taken away.

All this speculation is fun and the thought of making a pretty penny is great...but let's not lose focus on the true potential of Bitcoin.

They CAN'T control it. All they can do is hoard it. I mean, if it's going to replace fiat the govt needs to deal in some kind of currency, right? And if they buy, the price will shoot up, and then their balls will be in our hands.

Oversupply of new and better coins will cause bitcoin to be $175 at end of year.

"Better coins"? A bitcoin is a bitcoin regardless of how it's mind or equipment used, right?

I think he means better alt-coins.
