Apologies but I've had enough with this kind of speculation and predictions as for the past years it just make me disappointed again and again because our expectation become bigger but it did not happen as desired due to bearish so better if we will just wait and see normally while continue holding our assets.
This is not speculation, the price of bitcoin has gone up that much during its first 10 years of existence.

Now I understand if you are tired about all the speculation surrounding this market but to me it is part of what makes it so interesting, I know bitcoin will go up in value in the future but how to figure out when that could happen is a very interesting problem for me and it seems I am not alone since every day there are new threads on the forum trying to figure out the same thing.

Price usually won't instantly pumped out after the halving,

The halvening is not an instant event is how I see it.  They change the block reward and every ten minutes that change is apparent.   So it actually takes more like a year to affect the wider market in a change of supply.    What tends to happen just before is we speculate and rise some, just because people see this on the horizon it creates some bullish effect.   Then we have a feedback effect from that more bullish attitude, it leads to price rise.
  On the actual halvening, its a sell the news event not a big sell perhaps but now the bullish event on the horizon passes behind though its a positive it takes time.   We'll probably have some peak in 2020 like we did in 2019.    My guess before 2020 we do go lower but some think we have finished with that, I'll believe that better when we keep having a series of higher lows and higher highs but for now we are searching for prices in set ranges and its occasionally testing the boundaries up or down.     BTC over years is a giant but it moves alot down also when we are talking months or weeks.

Since its birth in 2009, Bitcoin has been on a remarkable run. The cryptocurrency was at first a currency for the fringe — used by those that wanted to bypass the pitfalls of traditional payment solutions, wanted to make a bet on the future of fintech, or wanted to make a statement against the fiat system, which was then embroiled in the aftermath of 2008’s Great Recession. Now, Bitcoin has entered the mainstream, frequenting the headlines of mainstream media outlets and becoming a part of the world’s vernacular.

While 838 million percent is obviously ludicrous, especially considering that this appreciation took place within a ten-year time period, some say that Bitcoin still has room to run. A lot more room.

...former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal said that Bitcoin is still “very cheap” from a  “longer-term time horizon” perspective. Pal has previously argued that TC is the only asset that makes sense for Millenials and younger demographics because everything else is overvalued.

This post is a great reminder to all of us Bitcoin supporters, hodlers and enthusiasts that despite the dip the coin is in, there is no question that it has a great potential still waiting for the near-future and that can be happening this 2020 when the rewards halving is coming. There are still available rooms to grow for the King of Cryptos and this dip can be the best time to enter the bandwagon or to add more.





Price usually won't instantly pumped out after the halving, just like what happened before. After the halving we need 6 months to reached the beginning of epic bull run of bitcoin's price and reached all time high.
"In May next year, unless wild swings in the mining hashrate change anything, the coin reward for mining new bitcoin blocks will drop from 12.5 bitcoin to 6.25 bitcoin." which means at least the price of bitcoin will doubled if the market is show us a good sign.

Bitcoin is a unique digital asset, their value continues to grow every year, maybe because of the limited amount and has no inflation in this technology. I believe that bitcoin will be able to reach a 1000% increase or even more.

It is surely possible though. There is a lot of hopeful person  here. It may seemed unattainable but what's for sure is that Bitcoin always fluctuates and there is always two side in coin. It is just a matter of luck or not, and we must be ready for it either way. We have already been facing bear market for a long time around we might be able to experience heavenly market later on.

If we could even see the price rise 1000% in the next 10 years then I will be very happy Wink
That's asking a lot of any investment, but I have to say I think with bitcoin it's still possible.  Back in 2015 I didn't think $1000 was possible, much less $20,000.  I'm not sure if we'll ever see a repeat of the euphoria that was seen in 2017...but I have a sneaking suspicion that we will.  That bull, he likes to run and I don't think he's out of breath just yet.

The problem in talking about such prices is always a question of *when* it's going to happen, and damned if I know.  I missed out on the very early days of bitcoin, but I have to say I'm very happy with where it's at now because it's higher than what I bought it at.  Good times are acomin'.

You are not alone in this league as there are many other early adopters who have lost the opportunities and yes it's just a matter of time, prediction and a little bit of luck which can change our lives. Let's just be prepared for halving as there are some positive speculations out in the market about a price pump post halving. As of now the market is heading in a right direction.

838 million percent but still undervalued I wish some of my holdings will grew like that in next few years. Yet we see people still complaining about the price too high for their budget even it is in bargain state. I'm still accumulating and looking forward on the  scenario when all Bitcoins are mined.
That is what it impresses me the most, bitcoin has been growing in a massive way since it was created 10 years ago and it is still undervalued, then what kind of value it will have during the next 10 or 20 years.

And even if I do not know the exact value it will have I know one thing, its value will be many times higher than what we see now and we need to make sure that no matter what happens we are always holding at least some bitcoin, that way we will enjoy some of that growth and benefit out of it.

I am confident that the growth will slow. Now someone dropped the price down and purchased on the cheap, raising the price up again. the bitcoin price after its halving reward is still unpredictable, but i hope it will reach or maybe pass the ATH price, and i hope the past halving trend will happen again in the next halving.

Everyone is curious about this event, all assets go through a cycle which includes bear and bull market. We had 3 cycles which are almost identically same 4 years. Now we passed 2 years in bear market. It is ready to see the bull run. After years of studying i came to the conclusion that Cartels who control the market will not allow bitcoin to be not-profitable for miners. The system must go on for them as they are making billions of dollars from it.

It seems that the percentage will lose some numbers on it since here is not.. so.. fun fact that happen recently :  Trigger-Happy Bitcoin Whales Send $24 Million in BTC to Two Exchanges  Many fear that this BTC movement is moved to exchang for dumping.
That's possible. However since they were sent to Bitfinex and OKEx, it's also possible they are planning to buy BTC on leverage, or altcoins. 3,500 BTC split between two exchanges is nothing to get worked up about anyway.
There is a real possibility that the recent flash crash in the market has a direct relation to the events that are mentioned here, other than that there are only mere speculation on what really happened and no one has any idea why the market went down suddenly.

There is great potential indeed, and I think anybody is thinking the same but their percentage, in my opinion, is limitless any point of value I think bitcoin could reach it I would like to see people that are judging this currency that they are wrong about it and that it has the possibility to break that value in years,

Well, there is no state given time for it or how much it can land there but we enthusiast know that we are making a progress even though the price is breaking down we trusting in it are still pursuing while others are panicking.
Value! Value!! Value!!!, everything that we are all after and more concerned about is the value of bitcoin, so if bitcoin does not reach that value then, does that make bitcoin to stop being bitcoin?

Not many of us are really advertising the technology of the coin that much, and we failed to really acknowledge that without the acceptance of the technology, and its usage, there is no way that this prediction can come to past because when it comes to investment, so many people are getting tired of it as they are not seeing the increase that is much encouraging, while some people are even stuck in the market now with money they have borrowed, but with its technology, people will demand for bitcoin because it is necessary to make payment and will not have any doubt about demanding at any time.

People, can you remember currencies/payment methods from past? At first it was (normal one) silver, gold coins, then paper money, then money in digital form which is almost absolutely the same cause you deposit/withdraw and use the same money and now we have cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is quite similar to gold in the respect that it is seen as a store of value, and less so as a form of money that we all are using on a daily basis. It just isn't convenient to use Bitcoin as a daily currency.

Bitcoin doesn't motivate anyone to spend it, especially if the value keeps going up, which is why an inflationary currency works better because you have to spend in order to not lose purchasing power.... hoarders of fiat are losers.

Those old currencies needed centuries for massive adoption and bitcoin did the most unbelievable job during this 10 year, it did thing that other currencies/payment methods weren't able to do during centuries. Since bitcoin did that job in 10 year, why not to imagine this case and think that it can do far much in next 10 year? Don't be a pessimist regarding innovations and just don't stick with only old things, sometimes we have to get out from our comfort zone in order to find better one.
The "job" you are referring to that Bitcoin did is just to go up in value a lot. If we look at the actual use aspect, it's not really picking up much because it's much more profitable to focus on speculation rather than actual use.

I'm just being realistic here. I'm sure Bitcoin will eventually break its $20k high and potentially peak out somewhere close to the $100k mark, but that still doesn't mean it's going to be used as a daily currency.

We are talking about Bitcoin as a currency, so it should be related to the cheapness of tx costs, the increase of shops that accept it, decentralization and other advantages.
What you are talking about price up with xxx%, it is an investment that may be considered wrong due to currency volatility.
Overall we are expected to return to the $ 20,000 levels within a year so it is interesting to think that the price is very cheap compared to what will happen in the future.

I guess the percentage is calculated on the initial price when Bitcoin hit an exchange.  It is not about the volatility or something.

The 2020 year will surely give us a heads-up about of the incoming bull run maybe at the first of the year we can slowly feel the spirit of bullishness. And 10 years from now is still too far yet these ridiculous prediction and speculation coming from every where is making me laugh at the same time. Lol

Funny, was just telling someone on another XYZ% in ABC timeframe thread that even if Bitcoin dropped to 1 cent, we'd still be up several thousand percent from roughly ten years ago -- not going to claw my way back to find threads to prove this but I guess this thread title gets the gist.

There's no guarantee of a best time, though, even if I jumped on a little earlier and still getting as much of my feet into the bandwagon's back now (when did we backtrack from rocket to wheels now?haha)!

It's bull food.... whenever they need an argument to claim a desperate "victory" over any more profitable asset during the last few months or years, they point out how much Bitcoin has gone up since its inception.

In a similar way, there are altcoins that have gone up millions of percentages too because they started at nearly zero. News outlets love these numbers because it provides them content for yet another crappy article.

And bitcoin price is up ∞ (infinite) % percent since it's actual birth Tongue

that's exactly what I was writing just now in my post!
And of course, all cryptocurrencies had infinity percentage gains in their exchange rates. although not all had infinity percent losses Cheesy

well if we think like that then price of anything you can think of has gone up infinite percentage since they never existed before they were created!
but usually these percentages are calculated from actual market value of the asset, and the "closing price" is used. meaning the price where the market closed with not the 0 that it started from. in which case you can find the first market data for the first day of trading and see what the price was and then calculate the percentage.

And that is why bitcoin is the best performing assets we have seen. Although there's a lot of commodity/assets around, in the last ten years, bitcoin has been out performing them.

And still in it's infancy we have ballooned to over 838,000,000%? What's gonna happy in the next ten or twenty years from now? Is bitcoin creating a new set of millionaires for casual and average joe's and billionaires for those whales?

Bitcoin has effectively outpaced every known asset/investment to man in just a decade, and people are still tagging bitcoin as something surreal, too good to be true and all that doubt while bitcoin kept on pushing and pushing. It has helped transfer wealth too, since most of the computer geeks of 2010 may have heard of bitcoin and are now living on the grandeur bitcoin has brought them for the past years. Knowing that bitcoin is still pushing through the limits up until now, I expect that percentage to rise gradually over the next coming years,

There is still no certainty up to what price will bitcoin reach that is why a lot of people are accumulating bitcoin and trying to save it for future use. Cryprocurrency is still not fully recognized and mass adoptation is not yet fully achieved. Imagine if crypto starts beig part of our society, the demand will rise and the possibility of bitcoin price having a new ATH is not far from reality. Crypto still has a long way to go, and a lot of people have trust on it.

The market itself infinite, so is the growth of the cryptocurrencies. Market being infinite means regularly more and more cryptocurrencies were getting developed and reaching the market for usage. At present it has crossed 2000, and keeps counting. We don't know how much more to come same as the growth of bitcoin price.

I think this is the most any currency/commodity/security/asset has boomed in such a short span. Moreover the increase in value is absolutely real and can be realized in any international market. I have seen currency values going down by that exponential rate in case of Zimbabwean Dollar but increasing at such a rate is a miracle. I think this is in itself a very big achievement for BTC and that also when there is not such a great widespread adoption prevalent. Bitcoin still just forms a very small proportion just 0.7%-.8% of the total world's Economy. I am just thinking of a number until which this value could go considering there is still a lot of population to come over blockchain.

We can actually look at dips as not a negative event but rather a chance to hold more coins instead. We've alrwady hold for a long time, what's adding a bit more of months to that. Those who panic sells are mostly people whom are in just for a quick buck. Each and everyone of us whom have stayed with bitcoin for a long time know how it had reached its status today, from having no value to being to what it is today.

Let's wait for bitcoin to reach the top and look down to those whom underestimate its prowess look up to it.
