Do you think bitcoin is in a bubble right now and price will settle back to near a $1000 again or do you think it won't be going down anymore? Not for too long anyway.(Meaning it may take a huge dump with some whale playing a game or something but will bounce back up soon too)
What are your thoughts?

I would rather say that Bitcoin is on a rocket rather than in a bubble.

1500 is the lowest possible drop bitcoin will experience if ever the bubble pops. Consider the major countries that announced their acceptance of bitcoin and they surely brought large number of users. Thus, higher demand for bitcoin in the market. With this in mind, bitcoin's price will not drop so much.
with higher demand for bitcoin on the market with so many major countries which consider and announce the recipient of the bitcoin and they must have brought a large number of users, so the bitcoin be like bubbles that are being floated a.k.a. skyrocketed at its peak
If there is a demand for a purchase, then the price is valid will not decrease. We are already seeing a good surge of Bitcoin and it seems to me that this is due to the fact that a strong excitement in the bitcoin market is beginning. As far as I understand this is still the hand reports of those countries in which users have a better chance of legalizing bitcoin.

Too many people are thinking if this bitcoin bubble, but did you not realized about the latest news of bitcoin? Some countries announced about the status of bitcoin in their countries.

That means the mass adoption will come to bitcoin and try to buy bitcoin.
That is not always meaning the fast increase of the bitcoin price can be determined as a bubble.

Bitcoin gain mass adoption and nobody must be worry due to the price of bitcoin right now.

It's not the bubble yet. The price is growing because of bitcoin adoption in some countries. But the fall in the price is easy predicted, bitcoin doesn't grow nonstop, it has it falls and raises.

the next bubble will start after the block size issue is over, after segwit-lightning is adopted, if it ever happens. Expect the price to reach around 20K to call it a bubble .

Take a look at all charts from 24 hours (or even less) to 2 years (or all time).   Almost exponential growth lately, 200k unconfirmed transactions and the scaling issue not solved as of today. The WannaCry attack was attention for BTC, but put it in a bad light again. Now, what do you think? Are we in a bubble?

It's going up too fast. Exponential charts are by definition indications of bubbles. That said, bubbles can get very big before they burst and this one has a ways to go.

Of course this is a bubble. Just look at the data. We'll likely see sub $1000 before the year is out, which will signal the final long term bear trend to near zero.

LOL Well look who popped in for a visit.

The price of bitcoin is really interesting and it is breaking records with every rally and if it was a bubble,it should have busted long back,we are having more investors and more countries are recognizing bitcoin and so there are more companies investing in bitcoin and so i see this as a steady growth because of the growing demands all around the globe .
Truth to say I'm afraid today to invest Bitcoin and it's not that I do not believe in the future, but rather because the crypto currency is so promising an evil user tries to manipulate the market. So I'm more than confident that the high growth could be followed by a ship's collapse price.

No this is not a bubble, it is just a normal demand of the people to bitcoin. Plus the attack of ransomware that pushed a lot of people to buy bitcoins add to the demand. And there's more to come and we will see another ATH very soon as the price reached $2k this day. So expect that this is not a bubble it's just a normal increase.

What are your thoughts?

The rise from the all time high at $1600 USD to $2000 was only a few weeks apart, that said we may be in a new bubble period so their is highly possible correlations with increased price appreciation than decreases.
This situation can accompany Bitcoin everyone here and I do not seem to need to rely on other moments in the field of cryptography. If you look at the statistics of past years, we will see that the sharp rise in prices also gave way to a sharp drop.

No, it isn't a bubble. Everytime there is major rise in price, it looks like its a bubble. However with minor correction, bitcoin price climbs new high everytime. Thus this time as well it wont crash. Only chance of major setback when bitcoin getting implemented in all fields and is used by major financial entities. That's when it will be tested correctly. Right now the bitcoin used by few and many financial major find it not-scalable.

go check the price history and see how it has changed. don't just look at the price, but also check the timing it took to get to a price then if you could go and check the new to see the reason for each drop and size of them. then you can get your answer, or at least get a general idea.

in short anything is possible. but the chances of a drop that big (about $900 at this point) is not enough to be considered. there can surely be drops in the future for many reasons ranging from a simple correction to a widespread FUD but in the market there always is a pretty strong buy support which is waiting to buy bitcoin at lower prices, and a 100 dollar drop is big enough for people to just at the opportunity and buy.

Agree with this.
The chart says it all. Let us not go back way 2013. Just the price after that until now.
It didnt take too much when it gets the all the time low.
Just hundreds of dollars but not like a half. It will stay here as long as we are here and keep on supporting it.

it is getting a lot of media attention, might still raise up in price until it burst.

this could be the beginnings of a bubble. it's not there yet. it could fall plenty too and i wouldn't call that a crash either.
I agree here. Probably here after new people and may rush into bitcoin economics and keep buying to make bitcoin prices into some extremes like $3000 or $5000 levels and whales may pop it up. But when more number of people will be targeting bigger prices I guess it will not get pop up that easily.

We can be sure bitcoin prices may settle around $1950 levels until block issues finds a solution. But marching forward without finding solutions for scalability may lead to disasters and solving block issue may double the prices.

you know,  it's a bubble - but maybe only a short term one
there re many positive catalysts the next few years

-  ETFs
-  Hedge / Investment fund formation & buying
-  non-early adopter buying
-  hopefully scaling (segwit +lightning) solution
-  potential safe haven asset
-  next halving before you know it

sure,  lots of possible negs as well,  but the long term trend looks promising


I don't know about you,  but i have tech savvy friends who own no coin still...lot of comers to the party to get in

Bitcoin is now recovering from the lost due to the ransomware issue occur recently. I think bitcoin will gonna reach 2000$ price within this day. Maybe some are now curious and want to try bitcoin that's it is now pumping and break the last highest price  before it drops.

Now you're right with price as it has already crossed the $2000 mark. However, this continuous rise in the price in Bitcoin may end up a faux and then bubble down. I think the hype around Bitcoin has made the demand increasingly high, even though unnecessarily high when you consider all the encumbrances in transaction fees and piled-up unconfirmed transaction.

Just after reading your comment, I went on to check btcprediction.com, here is what they say:
"Over the next 12 hours, we predict the market rate may be estimated at $1826.24;

The market rate difference would be $-126.88;"
I know they cannot be 100% accurate all the time, but I've been taking a peak at them from time to time and they've been quite close to the correct mark most of the times.

No I definitely don't think that Bitcoin is in a bubble right now. The price is going up stably and even if it does drop, it only drops by about 50 to 100 dollars. I seriously doubt that it will drop all the way down to 1000 dollars. You should hold your Bitcoin until you really need to use it or until the price goes up really high. Right now is definitely not a good time to sell.

Bitcoin is remaining steady and gaining progressive appreciations along with reasonable volume at any price level and the distribution of traders and investors are in decent number across exchanges globally. It means bitcoin find its huge prices with enough support. There are speculators and there are investors and adopters to make bitcoin to reach these levels.

As long as these new prices are acting into promotional role for bitcoin ecosystem to new people, I believe there will be no chances for this bubble to pop out. It will grow further.

I expect $2000 to be conquered today, but it will not last. The question if there is a bubble is fundamentally wrong. There is always a bubble. Every market at every time is in some stage of a bubble. This is not exclusive to Bitcoin.

In my opinion this one particular bubble is about to pop soon. We will see 2000+ and then some more, but when the dust settles, we will be well under 2000 - until the next bubble.

Before the WanaCry malware attack, we were well under way to reach $2000 or more, but this attack stalled that progress. As soon as people realize that Bitcoin is not the threat, they will start buying again. I think a lot of them might have thought that Bitcoin user were targeted and they are waiting for the worst to blow over.

The FUD that were spread in the media, might have clouded their decision making regarding Bitcoin investments. ^hmmm^

i'm on the fence, but it's not a real bubble, with the current premise a real bubble would shot much higher than this, i see it as a natural grow because of the adoption reason that are proceed greatly

but no one know for sure, the bottom before this increase was around $1300, even if this si a bubble i can't see the value returning below $1500 anymore

Well if you believe how this investment will become huge we knew fluctuations is always there in terms of the price as bitcoin really getting support coming from newcomers and mainstream media, if this is just a bubble maybe it will crashed instantly but as we move forward the value still strong.
