Thank you all which participated so far in this contest. I understand those which said that it just does not feel right. You are right... I'll be honest and I'll tell you that also posting this topic did not feel right. I can't express the feeling I had when I posted this contest. But then I thought that in this way I may fulfill a wish of someone which is living a deep pain now. At least, I could help fulfilling this wish. Because for this wish to come true, besides organizing a contest, participants also had to show up. So in this way all participants also gave a hand of help in fulfilling the wish of light_warrior's daughter. Perhaps this is the lest we can do here... It's a very sad moment. If we feel sad for him just imagine what his daughter is feeling right now... This is why I thank to all which enrolled already in this contest and I thank in advance to those which will enroll in the following days. Btw, If I may, I would like to propose extending the submission of applications until December 31st. Since the contest was made for fulfilling a wish of someone which is in deep suffering, I see no reason for not extending the application until Dec 31, end of day, forum time.

It's always sad to have contact with someone's death, even if it was virtual like this.
I'm not a super predictor, especially when I'm biased and want something to go in only one direction. And the fact is that I hope for a drop in the price of Bitcoin, but it will probably be the opposite. I think that January is the time when the demand for cryptocurrencies decreases so there is always a correction. Some important things were announced on Jan. 10. maybe they won't be so drastic. So, my prediction is: $41823.00

I would like to thank the Light_Warrior family for this event in memory of him, as well as everyone involved for the initiative. I waited a long time for a correction, because after such significant growth it seemed logical to me. But it seems that in anticipation of the approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF, the price holds some levels very well, and it is possible that this will continue until there is a decision on their approval, and this is expected at the beginning of January. So I will assume that by this time the price should not change much. My prediction: $43,833.33

Big respect to the family member that preferred to use the money for a contest. I didn't know we lost a forum member, may God bless his soul.
Disclaimer: I'm a terrible predictor. In last year, we moved from $16k to $20k, which was a nice ride; people forgot about FTX and moved on. In January 2022, we fell from $47k to $43k, and then we plummeted. Things were bearish for a whole year at least. In the last few months we have experienced very good levels, from $20k to $40k. I personally don't mind if it drops by a 10%, so I'll just say that with fingers crossed. $38,700

My prediction is: $41.325 A slightly correction it seems - but it's not a bad idea to accept due to saturation and some other reasons. But I don't think we'll get anything under $40K by then - hopefully not.
Previously - I have expressed my condolences for the death of light_warrior, of course this is sad news. But one thing makes me wonder - his daughter rejected the forum user's donations and chose to give back to the user in a different way. This contest is dedicated to him - of course. icopress - really, that's a shocking news this is. I saw it was last active on December 03, 2023, 09:55:25 PM - that's a few days ago and certainly not that long ago. I convey my condolences to him and hope that his family will be given fortitude and strength after his passing.
I don't know what the cause of death was [maybe illness?] - but this is surprising news considering light_warrior was here a few days ago.
RIP for light_warrior.

My prediction is: 38,111 December uses to be a great month for the price, but I have the feeling the end of the year is usually open for speculation, that can go to a unnatural direction. And since the halving is near, the unnatural direction is downwards.
PS. I find a bit unusual the high prize and the fact light_warrior's daughter didn't want it. PPS. Whether I win or not, I will still light a candle for light_warrior's soul. RIP.

Never knew the guy, but I truly feel sad for him and his family. Screw pathetic Putin! Also, it's really weird that she didn't accept the donations, but it's her choice at the end of the day. She is not alone since this forum is with her and I guess she knows that now.
Coming to the contest, I feel it would have been better to split the amount among 10 winners or something which would have made more people happier since it's Christmas season after all.
Anyway, I am expecting SEC to approve an ETF sometime later which is why my prediction is bearish.

The price of Bitcoin might not be correctly predicted by checking historical charts because we have never been in this present situation before (spot Bitcoin ETF). The awareness brought by the ETF will keep making the market unpredictable. If the SEC approves any of the applications will might see a rise while the price will drop if it is unapproved. My prediction will be $46,000 because there are greater chance that it will be approved. $46,000

We've just broken the walls of $44k but then the market corrected so I think with few days remaining, this is possible to happen that we may see this price prediction that I've got. So, it's like a slow motion but possibly that it's gonna move to the next barrier of $45k, more FOMO gonna happen as January comes because of the close door meeting of BlackRock and SEC.

True, but it was an order from one of his family members.
I want to thank @light_warriors' daughter for giving us, the forum members, a chance to remember one of our own. May his soul rest in peace. Lately, I've been checking out discussions about past Bitcoin halvings, and I've noticed a trend. Some months before the halving, the price tends to dip, followed by a significant positive move just before settling. This has happened before during previous halving cycles, and I'm seeing it again. In early November, Bitcoin's price went from the 25-30k range to gradually reach 39k by month end. It moved to 40k in December and has stayed between 40-45k. Based on this, I think we might see a steady range of 42-45k until late January, just before moving upwards again before the halving takes place. Before every Bitcoin halving, there's usually more talk and excitement in the market. This excitement often leads to a rise in Bitcoin's price because more investors want to buy enough Bitcoins before the halving event. So, considering this historical pattern, here's my prediction. 44500$

To be honest, I am surprised and a little bit concerned about such a decision made by light_warrior`s daughter. Maybe she didn't feel like she could use that money, like they didn't belong to her. However, that what she decided and I respect her choice. I believe, that in the next couple of days we will see a little bit of growth. But during New Year`s holidays trading volume will decrease, leading to price rejection. My prediction is $40,630

I invest for the long term and what volatility does in the short term does not usually concern me much because it is unpredictable (with certainty, like using an algorithm).
Simply from the experience I have of following markets and the Bitcoin price I would say the price will then be around $47.5K.

Predictions!? I'm terrible at these things, but I'll accept the challenge. I think the price will now become a little more stable in the coming weeks. At the end of the year, people who are less dedicated to business have a lot of expectations about this ETF. If it weren't for the high rates being charged, I would even say that the price would drop further, but if so, I believe it would be around 40k. $39,754

Bullish, I know. Reason: SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETF could help propel the current BTC price to new heights; if those guys suddenly announce the approval of BTC ETF in the first week of January, then that would be the main catalyst to help move things upward. I also noticed that there's an accumulation of BTC before the Chinese New Year. Also, BTC halving is just 100+ days to go; that could also be a factor for more people accumulating BTC. While the current transaction fees are a hindrance, I think that only affects small traders; Whales, on the other hand, don't really care about the BTC fees.

I would like to thank the family of light_warrior for wanting a competition held in his name and to icopress and GazetaBitcoin for taking the initiative to initiate it according to their wishes. The reason I chose the following amount as my entry is because I do not believe the hype that exists in several circles that Bitcoin has to increase in late December to late January. I think there will not be a case where people flood the market to buy BTC and for that reason on 9th January 2024 the price will remain somewhat less than what it is today. $39,110

Thank you for the nice contest, it's very kind gesture from light_warrior's family $42,100 I think that the Ordinals mess will continue to "paralyze" the whole blockchain, and then the price will maybe stay between 41 and 44k. Most people can't move their BTC out of their wallet because of high fees, and people which are "holding" it on CEXes (I mean the majority of people looking for quick profit only) are definitely waiting the 10th of January and a potential SEC approval on a BTC ETF + maybe some of them will wait until the halving in April. So I make the bet that BTC will stay "calm" for the next month. Good luck everyone! Thanks OP!

Donators donated money to light_warrior's family, not for the contest. This contest is being held on behalf of light_warrior's daughter and with money donated to her by non-caring forum users. She has decided to dispose of these donations in this way. What's the bad thing? What is wrong with the fact that his daughter decided to hold this event in memory of her father? What kind of profit-making can we talk about? It's a kind of wake she decided to organize on the forum. On a forum that took her father's passing so sympathetically.

Btw, I checked some charts and found it interesting that during all previous cycles on the eve of the halving, Bitcoin lost 30-60% of its value, so I think it is quite likely that in early January we will move the price in the range of 33-36 thousand. In addition, according to some analytical agencies, about 80% of all Hodlers have broken even, and many of them have started or will soon begin to take profits, so a return to 30 thousand seems quite justified to me.

This is a sort of unusual contest. It is held in the memory of light_warrior. This Ukraininan forum user went on the path to light at beginning of the month. icopress made a kind gesture and tried to help light_warrior's family with some funds, but the family (the daughter, to be more precise) said that they would not need the money and suggested to use them for organizing a contest on the forum. Although icopress insisted on offering the funds collected from donations, light_warrior's daughter kept her decision.As a consequence, this contest is one for light_warrior.There are ~1200$ (0.02897796BTC) held by icopress in his escrow and most of this amount will represent the prize for the contest (meaning 0.025BTC; the difference will be used for paying the fees when sending the prizes). First place will take 50% (0.0125BTC), second place will take 30% (0.0075BTC) and third place will take 20% (0.005BTC). Participants will have to predict BTC price from CoinMarketCap on January 9th, 2024, 2:54AM UTC time. The date and time correspond to first mined Bitcoin block. Participants will also have to explain in a few words why they believe BTC will have the prize they predicted -- this condition is a must for the application to be considered eligible. The winners will be the ones which will predict closest prices to BTC's price from CoinMarketCap. EligibilityParticipants must have their accounts registered before Sept 1st, 2023 and must have at least 10 merits earned in the past 120 days. Those with legitimate negative feedback from a DT user are not eligible (the legitimacy of the feedback is analyzed by me). Registration with multiple accounts is forbidden. If I catch anyone trying this I will leave him a negative feedback. Each user may make only one prediction. Predictions can not be edited. Applications can be submitted until Dec 25th 31st, 23:59:59 (forum time). Good luck everybody! And, if you are so kind, please say a prayer for light_warrior.
