Topic: Is a new ATH for BTC even posible? (Read 580 times)

Yes, it is possible in bitcoin to reach new ATH because as we can know there are many news that some people all over the world are already starting to adopt bitcoin as mode of payment on which it can increase its popularity that make the demand huge at the market and can help the price to move up slowly and make a strong support from the community.

You gonna be right, but we don't need to much expectations and to aim for a high price cause it absolutely we don't know. In fact, even the price isn't that showing aggressiveness but it still can manage to hold above $3000 which is good enough to think that sooner Bitcoin will soar high again.
Keep moving and enjoy the moment while isn't expensive. 

People already learn from the previous burst and this is why its hard to break the resistance but I believe it will continue move forward until one day, we will just wake up on a higher price of bitcoin, everything is possible.

in my opinion BTC can go up to ATH again if people can already realize that they have to leave a scam ICO project, in my opinion that is what has a very big influence on the price development, the hacking of several exchanges also worsened the crypto atmosphere, so if we really want this ATH im sure some obstacle like this must be removed

Yes, alot of shiny projects which out perform BTC in some aspect cause they dont out perform BTC in every aspect, have been created but there's one thing every crypto currency investors and traders seems not to understand about BTC is that it potential can not be compare with others crypto currencies.
 However, this is why the government were unable to stop BTC in the past and this will make you understand that BTC is just a crypto currency is the innovation of money/investment.

BTC will achieve a new ATH in the future.

It is very possible but may likely take a long time for it to happen, but we all hope that will happen in know distance time from now. Although my advice for those who buy when Bitcoin market was above$5,000 is that they should keep holding and for those that have money and want to invest in Bitcoin they should not loose hope because this is the best time to buy at the cheaper rate before is too late again.

Though the crypto market condition is still too bad but yet I don't feel any negatives anymore! Because I have a good vibe that this year bitcoin can hit a new ATH or everything will be better than 2018! To hit a new ATH will not be easy for bitcoin in this year, but someday it will happen! 

We don’t know that yet, but based on what experts has been saying, there is going to be another ATH this year and this time around is going to be a lot bigger than the last ATH we experienced. After some experts has made this prediction, a lot of people has been guessing what might be the price this time around.

Some claims it’s going to be $100,000 while others says it’s going to be $70,000 or below that. I have even seen some who says that there wouldn’t be much between now and the last ATH and that price will be around $30,000 or below.

Last ATH was 20k exactly on 17 december. Let's hope for better achievements in order to get rewarded as early enthusiasts. IMO price can climb to higher than 20k$  in 2020. Possibilities are there for a reason and 100k$ is expected after 6 years.

ATH, can happen at any give time all we have to do is just keep fingers crossed don't your assets too cheap and regret tomorrow, bitcoin is here to stay for all. I even recommend HODling bitcoin than other coin.

ICO (=scam) projects: hell no 

What I mean is a project that has true decentralization (and yes I consider mining pools as centralized, far better than PoS IMHO tho), with more than 5TPS, very small fees, which does not require to wait for 6 confirmations (~1h) and so on.
Basically what Bitcoin tried to do, but better (Sidechains, LN is bad compared to a product which can scale on-ledger, and pls don´t get me started why a GB Block is shitty)

DAG´s tried to deliver a better architecture, but: "Sounds good, doesn´t work" 

Right now at least a few people have realized that bitcoin is too slow and that we need a better architecture, but no one has delivered yet.

RadixDLT promises (!) a solution to this, but it is closed source until launch (to prevent copycats, open source soon after launch) so no way to verify now. The reason why RadixDLT is my best bet is that there was no shady ICO, the main dev funded the project with nearly all of his private money and it is in development for 6 years now (not the time I would take if I wanted to scam someone). Furthermore, I like the information which is public at the moment.
But I don´t want to stick to a specific project, I just think that right now a bunch of devs is aware of this and there is most likely a solution to this no that far away. This is why I wondered what you all think how long it will take for such a project to come up.

There is always a possibility,
yes the possibility of Bitcoin reaching ATH this year is very wide open with all the news that has been circulating. But all that is just news and what will happen actually we cannot predict because we know that sometimes market movements always give us a surprise.

It's possible and it could happen anytime, even this yea but we need a bigger news that would push the price to go up.
If it has happened in the past, I don't think it's not gonna happen this year, everything is possible in crypto and no definite time our expectation will come, it will come anytime and that makes crypto very special. Old and new investors has a fair chance of making money here.

Yes it is possible but according to bitcoin price movement history it will not happened in this year however everything seem almost always be possible in the bitcoin world but if new ATH appears someday then i was so curious at what range new ATH will be stay but i expect the price will be more than $50k per 1 bitcoin

I bought Bitcoin first in 2015 by price about $300 and since that i dont thinking the price will go another 10x in a few year but 2 year later the price skyrocket to $20k , so the price of Bitcoin has potential to going up to $100k in next 2 year. With low marketcap Bitcoin will be easy to going up later.

   I remember that tweet. I think he is running short on time, I don`t remember about the date, but
I feel it`s something close.
   I`m positive about Bitcoin new ATH. Until now everything we saw was a warming up. Last year we
talked about how crypto-currencies are revolution, that is not the end. I`m seeing this price drop like
a little break after the victory.

This has been asked a lot of times bybthe investors, I think it's still possible to make bitcoin hit ATH, but it will take a lot times judging from the market situation, to make bitcoin hit the ath, we newd more funds or mass adoption, if we can make people to have the same mindset to used bitcoin in transaction then we could reach the ath sooner

I hope McAfee doesn't have to eat his meat! 

I never really thought that there would be a single cryptocurrency that could replace bitcoin. The value of Bitcoin lies not only in its technology but also in thought. 1 Thought to create the world of Cryptocurrency like the present time as a leader. I accept trust in the path I choose and bet with everything I have while everyone loses faith. Bitcoin will come back and surprise all investors!

BTC has been dead a thousand times at least if we consider what pain its users conveyed through their messages whenever it crashed, and such statements like "moon soon", "we'll be $xxx soon" (where you can put any amount like 20, 200, 1000, 10000 or even a million" were criticized by those users only who used to determine the real value as well as tried to teach us to accept its reality that it cannot reach those levels ever, but didn't BTC break that highest record of 20k? It took almost a decade for that to happen, which shows that those who kept patience were rewarded. This means that there can't really be an ATH for BTC because whenever a newer one gets touched, future already starts writing a different story with a bigger and better ATH for BTC.


I don't know what kind of projects you are trying to refer us to, but BTC had been major and others are minor, that's one big fact which nobody can deny here. Other thing, scalability issues are resolved before the timeline by many developers either through testing their method over an alt or BTC directly, otherwise BTC would not even be worth a buck as what's the meaning of having a crypto when it can't be reached to the other party in an "almost-instant" pattern? The next part are the uses: BTC used to be the first crypto to be allowed for margin trading and futures, this is one big reason it can't be defeated in near future.

The others kept their place as they left. There is greed in the nature of mankind and you can not confront it. This cycle always continues. How is it right always to go up? If you always gain, what is the point?

If people believing that it would happen in the future why would they stop holding and accumulating as it is in dip already? Doesn't seem to fit what bottom do they want to start collecting some potentially valuable coins. The possibility is always available in the future and that might be a disadvantage or advantage depending on the people's perception.

This is possible. Though I wouldn't expect it to be this year. Now a lot of people have lost confidence and invest with caution. That's why we won't see crazy rallies as before. In my opinion, it will rise but more steady.

We can all be waiting for it. In fact according to some analysis, the price may be 160k after 4-5 years. However none of us know how true it is. Most of the technical analyzes are not capable of showing the right price in this case. But I know that it will be more useful in the future than the present and accordingly I think we will see more valuable price.

its is true that there are crypto which are much efficient in payment than btc but btc was one of its kind and it hold market biggest share and if you ask somebody(general) about crypto so they will tell btc only as there is no that much awareness of other crypto. And there are multiple sites/shops which accept btc payment and avoid other crypto payment.we will see ath in price maybe between 2019-20 if every thing goes smooth and there is minimum manipulation.

More than likely, I mean what is it that could stop bitcoin from being more than 20 thousand dollars ?

I am not saying it will happen anytime soon (it could or maybe it won't we don't know) but in the end all I am saying is it is definitely going to be above 20 thousand dollars one day. Maybe it will be before summer maybe it will be 2030 but it will certainly happen. That is why I always keep some of my money in bitcoin instead of cashing out and always keep my position stronger each week because I trust that bitcoin will be doing x7-x10 one day.

Obviously, we just think this because bitcoin seems like the best alternative currency to the current fiat currency we have and it is backed by the amazing technology of blockchain but if one day something better comes along as competition than I wouldn't mind checking that out as well.

Possible.


Outperform Bitcoin in every aspect? Could you please elaborate? Do you mean ICO (scam) projects? Never seen anyone doing better at this point, yes they can raise huge funds and what happens after that? While Bitcoin continue to thrived, we might be in a bear market but it doesn't mean that we're out.


RadixDLT? Never heard of it? Oh Ok, I just check their website (https://www.radixdlt.com/). Blockchain killer? really? 

RadixDLT for example. There are a few more, but that would be my best bet. (although the mainnet hasn´t launched yet, but it will in 2019)

I can't say it's impossible because we all know how surprising Bitcoin can be but it's not something going to happen anytime soon, at least for the next 2 years.
Many people have already left the market, the day Bitcoin reaches $15,000 the rest of the people will sell what they have left. I can bet for a massive wave of sales.

Yes, because still not all the people were used bitcoin or heard about it so when more people using it will cause the prices to go higher so yes still chances to reach new all time high if the bitcoin can survive until but time taken for that is unknown.

No need to vote. The answer is obvious as "everything is possible to happen".

Honestly no need to jump on that kind of desire today. Just continue the usual accumulation of btc on your stash so that when time comes that btc shows a nice performance, everyone will take advantage of that.

Eye for long term goals and just "trust the process".

Yes, Just trust bitcoin it would be possible to do that. For now let's just focus on what bitcoin and other crypto will give us move to fight the bear to be able the bullish will start on run.

why wouldn't it be possible?

- have we reached mass adoption? no
- has bitcoin stopped being adopted? no
- has bitcoin stopped being developed and being improved? no
- are there more merchants accepting bitcoin as a payment method every day? yes

you said it yourself, they are "shiny" projects
in other words they are mostly hot air and when you look under the hood you can see that they are either exactly the same as bitcoin (like the bitcoin copies) or they are weaker versions of bitcoin (like the copies that introduced some weakness into their copy by foolishly changing things they shouldn't have) or they are different versions that have different and in most cases serious flaws.

in any case I am also very interested to hear what altcoin you think is "outperforming" bitcoin?

Yes,it will even after we have so many projects which will be useful.There are lot of crypto currencies with ICOs but bitcoin having more than 50% dominance which clearly says that bitcoin is capable of outperfom all the other projects.

Come on, do we even have to ask this question? There is no cryto as strong as Bitcoin at this moment. Even ETH or XRP has a lot of drawbacks and for sure I prefer to hold more Bitcoin than the 2nd or 3rd top crypto according to CMC. Most people know about Bitcoin, and there are a lot of institutional interest on Bitcoin (albeit ironic). New ATH is definitely possible, just like what happens in the past after bear take over.

absolutely all we have to do is continue to wait until bitcoin changes after a new project supports bitcoin. so we all have to be sure about that, because the big possibility is that it can happen

Well, why not? It could take years or decades to reach a new all time high, but it's definitely not impossible.

Tell me one project that's outperforming bitcoin right now. I'll wait.

I sure believe so. The fundamentals of bitcoin are still here even after the bear market we’ve been in for the past several months, and there’s still going to be software and project development even after some projects have been canceled or slowed partially due to the bear market. We could certainly be in for a 1,2, maybe even longer of 2015-esque price stagnation, but BTC’s definitely still got a very decent shot at breaking the previous ATH. I’m personally playing the longer term game and accumulating coins steadily right now with prices where they are now.

Developers have been churning out altcoins since 2011. There has been an endless stream of "new and shiny projects" going back to Bitcoin's earliest days. Yet after all these years, Bitcoin remains #1 in price, market capitalization, usage, awareness, etc. and it's way more secure than any altcoin on the market.

I'm confident Bitcoin will reach a new ATH. It might take a year or three though.

Possible but no one knows on when it would happen neither it wont happen at all. No one can predict the future even though Bitcoin is being outshined by other projects it doesn't mean it can be easily
removed into its place as top 1. We didn't even expect for BTC to reach 20k on 2017.We might see new ATH but not on the way of heading too fast but rather on a gradual basis.

There's a huge possibility we could witness another All Time High for Bitcoin it's just a matter of when and long that could happen. I however don't have the slightest of doubt that it could eventually happen again.

Possibly.

As I see it the money shared is being divided and so it was also the reason behind this slow gain.
Maybe after fiat deletion then we could see the value of crypto currencies growing but I doubt that will happen in just a little time.

It takes so many laws files to make it through that kind of decision. But it could happen. Just more difficult by now.

Do you think a new ATH for BTC is even possible?

With all those new and shiny Projects, which outperform BTC in every aspect, I think it could be quite hard, but I am not sure, so I created this poll
