The growth may be exponential but it is certainly not predictable
so that you could draw a trendline for it.  People tried that last
year and were wrong about where the price is now.

But hey, you have your theory and I have mine.  Lets revisit this in December and see where the price is.
My prediction: $350.

TBH, I don't believe in trend lines anyway. I just think that log charts suit better for bitcoin because they show more information while linear charts only show us the last rally.

Log charts don't show more information, they show the same information differently.

They show a bias toward exponential growth (obviously) or lack of it.
Personally, I don't think that's a good way to look at data.  If there's
truly exponential growth, it will show on a standard price chart.

I do agree Bitcoin has massive potential for exponential growth.
I also think you (and the OP) are overoptimistic and unrealistic about how fast
that's going to happen.  But, hey i'd love to be proven wrong.

One thing's for sure.  It won't happen just because a chart
says so.  Things have to happen in real life.  The DEMAND
has to be there.  That's the key.  Demand is picking up
for Bitcoin, but slowly.

i dont think it would reach such heights. i expect it to settle at somewhere around 300-350$ at the end of the year. it can only reach such heights after it has been adoped by the whole world. i think we have to wait for 10 year to see that advancement. but i really wish bitcoin to touch $50k mark.

You cant draw a trendline on a log chart and expect to be taken seriously.  Im a permabull but please gtfo with your looney prediction

WTF again you with your log chart racism. Do you understand that log chart is the right thing to look at and instead the linear chart is where you cannot draw any lines because bitcoin doesn't grow linearly.

It's not that unrealistic.

Ask yourself, in terms of non-price aspects, is Bitcoin 50x further along than it was 18 months ago when we were over $1000? I'd say it's about 10-20x further along. Back then there was practically nothing compared to the current level of venture capital, big banks on board, popular acknowledgement, etc. Think what would happen if the bearish sentiment receded and people suddenly started feeling FOMO? All this "good news" that happened during the fall suddenly has to get priced in. Then, there's still 6 months until the end of the year, so we could by 2-3x further along by then, amounting to ~50x further along compared with end of 2013, and as price rises to match we could peak near $50,000 in a wild bubble top.

My guess would be that this happens more toward next year after the halving, but this year is quite possible.

And like someone mentioned, after a wild bubble tops and bursts, we'll have a correction, and a much higher ceiling will be set. But when it's all set and done, it will all come down to when to sell at the top. You may think you are at the sweet spot, sell, then find out you sold right in the middle of the rise. You think "I now only have to wait for the correction". The price keeps going up, bursts, and the correction happens, but the correction is never lower than were you sold at, you keep waiting and waiting and the price start going up slowly again. You are now left outside of the game for future gains. Enjoy your dollars/euros while the rest keep riding the BTC train.

$50,000 before Christmas would be amazing. That would definitely make a lot of people happy. 50k is a lot though, I don't even know if that is possible, but that would be interesting nonetheless.

You can be sure it will make more people unhappy than happy. All those banksters, warren buffer's cock suckers and duck fuckers will be soooo butthurt.

Anybody can draw a random line to justify any price. That is not a prediction.

OPs line is not random.

50k is unrealistic as we all know it. We can yes reach somewhere to 50 or 500 USD , but 50k. This is possible only when everyone has adopted bitcoins. But then hypothetically ,millions won't be worth the millions.

This speculation is still quite conservative.. On the left, the spike was used to determine the startpoint of the trendline. If the spike was ignored and the avarage peak was taken, the line would end up MUCH higher!!  Roll Eyes
