Topic: Is Bitcoin currently massively undervalued? (Read 2467 times)
I am not an expert but for me btc right now is overvalued. Being able to hit its highest so far this year during the first two weeks of August. Well it's just me and my observation. I don't have all the information in figuring this out since I am not really doing a deeper research on btc and not all the time online.
Now I think the price of Bitcoin is the highest this year, and the current price is not underestimated, but if you look at this post next year, you will find that Bitcoin is undervalued because I believe that the price of Bitcoin will be higher next year.
I think bitcoin is undervalued. Just look at the news about bitcoin every day there are new projects where you can pay with bitcoin.
The Bitcoin market is fluctuating, so bitcoin prices are down. Influence on bitcoin investment. I used to think I should stop playing bitcoin. I am still on the move and looking forward to the campaigns that will help me make more money. We still need more time to say bitcoin is undervalued. On the other hand, almost 3k usd per bitcoin is pretty high to me.
Bitcoin has been stated to be undervalued for years now, and if you look where we stand right now, it's pretty obvious that aside from what might happen in the short term, Bitcoin is always undervalued. If people talk about Bitcoin being under/overvalued, they should always have the long term in mind. Short term wise it's practically impossible to properly say that Bitcoin is under/overvalued due to the volatility and sentiment changes that can happen instantly.
It is hard to measure real worth of bitcoin without adding speculations to calculation.
It is actually overvalued, not under, yeah. But lots and lots of people think bitcoin as one of the most profitable tools in economy and easiest way of money transfer.

I agree with this. It's over valued. It hasn't managed to do more than 250,000 transactions a day, and with all the fees, no-one is using it in the real world.

But as of now it's really obvious that more and more people are getting interested and trying to use bitcoin so I think the value will continue to rise in the future
Yes Btc value will definitely increase as awareness and adoption in many countries improves
Maybe in 10 years people will say ' I wish I invested in bitcoin back in 2017' 
Yes of course, just like I am saying today that how I wish I took btc investment serious just a year ago even when I was aware of it then. Anyway, I believe its never late to invest in anything good and valuable as Bitcoin
It's not proven until Lightning Network is proven (in the real world). When major wallets support it and it's shown to function for day to day payments, I expect a spike. (And genuine growth, too.)
Market and users, ratio between supply and demand determine the price. And different factors, like recent August 1st can also influence the price. So it's hard to say whether is undervalued or current price is reflection of current situation on the market. We would all like to see even biger price because we think bitcoin deserves it but the price isn't forming according to wishes.
Correct value for bitcoin at this moment is 100k dollars.
It IS undervalued, extremely undervalued, due to ego-fighting between weak effeminated freaks.

I don't think so
It's more: The current use of Bitcoin does not even justify $1000, if you apply the Quantity Theory of Money, like this forum member did (his estimation for a fair price is about $200-250).But I think all users that bought Bitcoins for more than - let's say - $500 are speculating that in the future there will be a much larger user base. But $100K would be already a order of magnitude where we would need a large portion of the world population using Bitcoin regularly. And I think it's not at all sure that that will occur.
We can do the math: If for the current user base (5-10 million) $250 is the "fair price" according to the QTM, then for a fair $2500 price we would need 50 to 100 million users (currently impossible without advanced scaling features or a massive block size increase to 10 MB or more), and for $100000, 2 to 4 billion.
If by "fair" price you mean a price based on just how much bitcoin is actually used as a currency to buy things, then yeah sure it probably would be around $250, because it isn't actually used a whole lot yet, most people treat it like a stock now, an asset that will appreciate with time, this is not how people treat currencies. So bitcoin is so much more than JUST a currency, which is why its price is an order of magnitude higher than what that "fair value" equation gives it. The fact is its use as money is only part of the bitcoin price equation so it doesn't matter that the actual price of bitcoin is so much higher than it, because it should be!
Bitcoin has aspects of a currency, digital-gold, immediate digital wealth transference, and a stock-type asset because it can be spent, used as a safeguard store of value when confidence in government created fiat is shaky, sending money quickly and cheaply to anyone in the world without passing through a centralized bank source, and an appreciating asset given that the userbase of bitcoin is so small still. So in the long term the current price is undervalued by an order of magnitude or two. In the short term, its impossible to say, sometimes its a little overvalued and crashes, sometimes its undervalued and a bull run gets initiated.
We still need more time to say bitcoin is undervalued. On the other hand, almost 3k usd per bitcoin is pretty high to me.

no.
value comes from more people and more use. not enough of either is here yet.
almost all of the price is in anticipation of more of the above.
in terms of future potential you could possibly say that. but then again if the potential goes unfulfilled you could say it's ridiculously overvalued right now.

What you're saying is totally right about the consideration the value of bitcoin nowadays. We can't claim that it's massively undervalued since there is not big number of users and adopters. We still need more time to say bitcoin is undervalued. On the other hand, almost 3k usd per bitcoin is pretty high to me.
Bitcoin is not undervalued nor overvalued it's just that the price set for bitcoin depend on the demand and users, it fluctuates from time to time base on how it affects the market. I guess there's no particular value can be set permanently for bitcoin we all know there is only fixed number of bitcoin circulating the market so if users will have to increase or decrease the value of bitcoin will depend on that. But as of now it's really obvious that more and more people are getting interested and trying to use bitcoin so I think the value will continue to rise in the future
Things are never so simple, we know that if we think of the actual uses of bitcoin at the moment, then we can come to the conclusion bitcoin is overvalued, but if we think of the possible uses that bitcoin may have in the future then bitcoin is undervalued.
That's what I wanted to say with my last post.
We don't really know if Bitcoin will reach real mass adoption (with "mass adoption" I mean hundreds of millions of users). Only in this case, Bitcoin is worth what it is now, and will be worth more in the future.
The reason we are seeing the current bull market is related: Segwit is seen as a measure that could be the first step for mass adoption. It will already make possible an user base of up to 15 million people (now about 7 million are estimated, and Segwit doubles the transaction capacity), and if smaller transactions are covered by LN, I estimate the blockchain could handle about 50 million users. With Segwit2x, if we continue this simple calculation, 100 million users are possible - that would justify a price of $2000. But obviously that is not the final scaling step - in my opinion, sidechains will be the measure that makes billions of users possible. And then the "price window" for BTC is open for prices up to $100.000

Overvalued seems funny about your thought. As satoshi speculates bitcoin is still not that much value now. It will touch to 10000$ in 2020 I guess. We need to huge adoption and blockchain based projects come up to find the higher price in future. What people as you are saying also correct and you can also do the same.

Thanks for linking to this, this should help some see how much damage has been done to bitcoin these past few years.
That graph in particular is worth a thousand words (and a lot of risk capital too
)
