Lol looks like time is repeating itself. "Even 2500 is possible" We will make history again. Big crash or lots of cash
The thread itself has reborn, so the cycle of ups and downs will continue and based on the support from governments and other investors the price will reach high or low in the future.

Lol looks like time is repeating itself. "Even 2500 is possible" We will make history again. Big crash or lots of cash
$3000 seems pretty possible.
I think if there comes good news out, the price can go very much upwards. Otherwise, it will stabilize a little bit i think. Lets hope for the first.
Bitcoin growth should continue to be exponential as only early adopters have bitcoin. As in most innovative products, when bitcoin reaches the public the growth will continue to be exponential. We are only in the beginning of the take off. Much research was done about innovative products and bitcoin is definently one of them.
In 2014, Bitcoin will continue increasing in popularity and value, Amazon or another major retailer will announce acceptance of the virtual currency.
Will be lots of chances for making profit until the end of this year on the way up to $4k+, just gotta time it right... oh god I love panic sellers, giving me free $$$ and bitcoin... talk about a win-win 
The thought of getting to a face-value in the same club of Disney, McDonalds, Amazon is pretty damned exciting.
One guy who built a class photo album online didn't expect a 150 billion valuation too
I think bitcoin-the-idea is incomparable to the businesses you mentioned, it is much greater. What is the current valuation of internet? Is it even possible to value in terms of dollars? So what would be the value of a new world-wide financial system? No idea, but I guess there is a singularity in that graph at some point. Before we reach that, though, I fully expect bitcoin-the-rollercoaster to be an opposite of boring, as it was so far Fully agreed.
Bitcoin represents a major paradigm shift in so many different fields and I'll continue to think it's wicked cool regardless of what happens to it.
It brings back that feeling I had back in the early 2000s playing an online multiplayer game for the first time and thinking "This is so f****** cool!", and then seeing internet gaming become a normal part of the average household in a decade.
Look. Bitcoin has gone up at least 10× every year (100× last year).
And since it still seems early in its logarithmic adoption curve, the onus is on the newbs to explain why it WON'T go another 10× this year.

There are plenty of unpredictable nightmare situations that could conceivably happen and although I don't think any one of them would have the ability to "kill" bitcoin, they would assuredly throw a wrench in the trend machine.
I'm optimistic too, but it's folly to think this trend (or most trends for that matter) will go on with absolute certainty; hope for the best, prepare for the worst right?

Once the ATH is broken, it's going to multiply in no time. News are just a vehicle for bitcoin price movements, nothing more.
So yeah, OP has quite a legit price range prediction. 4-7k by end of summer, then retraction to 2500.

Those price predictions you quote would imply a market cap of 50-100 billion if i'm not mistaken. Do you think we'll actually get to that point this year? Not trying to troll or be bearish; I'm genuinely curious about what you think would pump the market up to that point. The fabled wall street money due to hit early summer? Something else?
you must understand that a market cap of 100 billion does not mean somebody spent 100 billion on buying coins; it's more like 2-3 billion of actual money. thats the way it works with any commodity. so yes, I do believe there are several billion curious dollars waiting on the sidelines now. for what? no idea, I'm not a billionaire. a publicly tradeable fund, a safe and reliable storage method, maybe a personal money manager suggesting to diversify into bitcoin, whatever. It will happen when it becomes obvious that bitcoin is not going to die now.
Yeah that all makes sense and by no means am I disagreeing with you, I just have trouble sifting for answers that aren't biased by my bull gut.
I know MC only represents the total value of all existing "shares" or units of a commodity or stock at the market price, but it's still staggering to think that a 100 billion could be achieved after hovering around 5-10 for so long.The thought of getting to a face-value in the same club of Disney, McDonalds, Amazon is pretty damned exciting.

Sorry for the inconvenience on this post ... I am now doing a king of academic task to high light ideas on textbooks ...

The timeline I've really got no clue on, but I really like the range and retraction numbers you mentioned!

i dont think such a prediction can be accurate. good/bad news have to much impact
I'm guessing 2800$ by january
or maybe between $100-200 also possible, all depends on the news and laws yet to come
Somewhere between $1500 and $3000 seems possible.
you guys know yesterday price was $500 hope in end nov-dec it will be double
We need some really big names accepting the Bitcoins to take it past the 2K mark. (reaching the 1K mark doesn't need that, as we have previously seen). These big names can be Amazon, Ebay, Facebook or even Twitter. But right now, the chances of any such acceptance is near Zero. So in an optimistic scenario, I would expect the prices to be in the $1,200-1,500 range.
Second Market's Bitcoin ETF on wall street coming out in the fourth quarter isn't big enough?

Bitcoin is volatile so peak at 5,000 to 10,000 in 8 months if some interesting news comes out
Or just a modest climb back to 1200 and the rise is in next year

Interesting prediction. However, I would be quite surprised if bitcoin price would reach $2500 level this year (given the current turmoil on bitcoin market).
I hope that you're right 
That actually looks about right. Many people are predicting that we might see around $5000 on the next run. Should be fun.
You're such a (greedy) optimist! Sorry, but highest Bitcoin (with no bad news on the horizon for the entire year) is $1,300.

This is an exploration of the possible future price of BTC with the assumption that historical price charts are an indication of future valuation of bitcoin.
Short version: Buy now for $500, sell in August for $2,500.
