This year? impossible, 55k is just way too much, do you remember the bull run from last year where the price reached 20k? well, we would need to see a much larger bull run and that just means problems. Just imagine the FOMO wave that such a massive increase would create around Bitcoin, all that excitement and greed will be be followed by a correction of biblical proportions and widespread pessimism/negativity will take over the market, that's something I'd rather not see.

I'd say 55k is a long-term goal, i'm talking about 3-4 years until we that price.

And what would a 20k suggestion warrant had it been proposed this time last year?

Anything can and will happen. What we've witnessed is the power of network effect and it should not be underestimated. 1 person getting involved in 2013 is now probably 20-100 people and every day that passes means more eventual onboarding.

I don't know if it'll be this year, but there will be a point where telephone numbers become real presuming BTC survives and it'll seem normal to the new arrivals. It's a straightforward consequence of more people chasing the same number of coins.

I only hope that exchanges have more of their shit together by that point because what's around now is still a long, long way from cutting it.

I wouldn't count on McAfee's prediction since i'm seeing right now that he's just trying to hype up bitcoin and other cryptos for his own advantage. Heck, he's even doing pump and dumps right now which makes his stance on making crypto look good insignificant. $55k is quite a goal to achieve, though it's doable if we get a hype similar to the 2017 bull run given that we have a solid baseline @ $6000. More positive news would surely help boost the price up, but that isn't enough to bring in insane amount of money again

55k$ or more by the end of this year is possible, but followed by a brutal bear market.
500k$ in 3 years, no chance. BTC may never truly recover from the next bear market, if it loses the first mover advantage.

I think it depends on governments. In my opinion governments play a critical role in 2018. If they accept bitcoin the price can rise very fast in a short time. But there is no guarantee. I personally think that it is possible.

Yes, I believe we can surpass that this year although it may be tough. One thing we gotta consider is that when this institutional money comes in, it is going to pour in for months. If we saw Bitcoin rise from 5k to 20k, I would be hard pressed to believe we couldn't have a similar rise at the end of this year.

$55,000 per bitcoin?

Not this year imo, no. It’d take some seriously bullish news to rise that much. I think we’ll see something like $55,000 per bitcoin as a result of natural growth in a couple of years. It’ll most likely happen 6 - 12 months after the next halving.

Not this year. Anything can happen but I don’t think we will see a recovery that quickly. It could take several more months of prices going sideways before we see all cryptocurrencies begin to recover.

I could see the price reaching $20,000 this year but maybe later in the year. Then I think prices will reach new highs and well beyond for many of the major cryptocurrencies.

 I am beginning to think that McAfee is just having fun with bitcoin from creating fud on his twitter about binance to pumping up alt coins and being an obvious shill for them without doing research on them causing a dump on the markets.

With the amount of followers he has all it takes is one miscued message and any alt coin can be screwed up. Roll Eyes

For my opinion will not can reach this price i can beilve i will pump till 30k . And i have to know Do you believe John McAfee is right about Bitcoin hitting $500,000 in 3 years?
It’s interesting that almost all existing analysis of cryptoassets are from the point of view of fundamentals (or lack thereof). It’s often useful to look at things quantitatively instead.


So here, what we really want to understand is the probability of bitcoin reaching $500,000. There are a few ways to do that.

My way is  we can assume a completely random process and take a “gambler’s ruin” perspective. What is the probability that a random process will hit $500,000 before it hits $0? Given that the price as of end 15 dec 2017 is about $23,000, we’d get $23.000/$500,000 = 5%.
