Looks like we'll be lucky if it hits 500 by years end.
This thread seems have made a lot of people look very foolish.

^ There's still time, so don't do anything stupid. 
Who knows, maybe some good news await us: I hear at least one country is introducing a country wide digital currency at the end of the year (that could bring Bitcoin some more exposure), and maybe a couple other places accepting/planning to accept it might give the price a boost.

I'll cut off my left nut if it hits 5K by the end of this year, that's how sure i am that it wont 
No it wont...It will reach $50,000!
To tha moon and beyond!!!

notice how all these accounts that were created specifically to pump the price have all since vanished? My guess is that they were on the Winklevoss payroll, but now that it seems that the ETF will be shot down, they've given up.
Actually, the side with NO on it has 2.88 and YES has 5.54 on it. The bet defaults to NO if BTC-e goes down. Despite that, more bitcoin has been placed on YES. 1 bitcoin placed on NO would return 2.17 bitcoin (1.17 profit) , assuming no more bets were placed after that.

Careful with that one, it's a double bet. If btc-e goes gox the bet resolves as a no whatever the price is. Primary reason I did not bet on it while I did bet on the 10k one.
Yeah I meant you get 2:1 betting on no
I can see how it was totally unclear though!I'm advertising how great it would be to bet on no right now!
Go on! do it!!!
I Stay to see that happening with hands crossed
Meaning you already 100% invested in BTC?
if by the end of the year, it reaches $1,000 only.. it will be a historical anomaly. year to year, at least up to 2013, bitcoin has been strongly bullish. imo, if by year's end, it doesn't reach a new high.. people cannot blindly say "it's bound to head to the moon" anymore.
Maybe not before the year ends, in fact probably not, but it's likely to go over $5000 at some point http://www.usacryptocoins.com/thecryptocurrencytimes/uncategorized/the-past-and-future-of-bitcoins-price/
Didn't you just get done writing a ridiculously stupid post?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--604973
Why do you feel like after saying something like that, that you are now qualified to confidently make price calls like that.
Especially based on yet another bitcoinblog (opinion).. the lol's don't stop.
Posts lacking intelligent application of one's own personal research and knowledge seem to be a developing pet peeve of mine.
I speak for a large portion of the community when I plead with you to please do that! Seriously. Collapse it down to $100...thanks!
If anything I'd expect its price to drop from now based on the macro conditions / general recovery.
The increasing stability and lack of apparent adoption will drive short-term speculators keen for a quick $£€ away, causing the price drop.

I agree with you. I see even more price drops ahead, for the short term anyway.
Let it reach 1000, I will be happy with that 
The next few days will be crucial.
I've heard of this for many times
The next few days will be crucial.
As usual, the 5000 target is posted without any grounds, as an act of faith. It seems people think this is like a church, you just have to believe.

The Winklevoss fund is about to be listed on NASDAQ.
First of all, creating a new security can take many years. Second, there is no indication by the SEC that it'll be approved. Third, this is not actually adoption, because people buying this can't actually use any real bitcoins and be part of the bitcoin economy. It is only for price speculation, like a CFD.
Bitpay has a huge announcement coming soon.
an announcement about a future announcement about an unknown subject is not even worthy of discussion. that reminds me of mtgox...
Coinbase and Xapo have hinted that Mastercard is coming soon.
hinted?? and this news would hardly qualify as adoption. It will become slightly easier to use coinbase, which already exists - that's not a quantum leap in adoption

You must be so much fun at parties
I hear TERA is just as fun at parties as he is on here.
Well, then you should go back and read his old posts and predictions and see what came true. He was just as bearish last year, telling people to sell at $200 because it was going back down right before it went to $1200.
But hey, trust whoever you like. It's your money and your decision.
I read somewhere that an ETF would only be traded during business hours. Isn't that worse? Imagine the price dropping and people can't do anything till trading starts. I'd never buy btc like that.
Same with any commodity ETP.

In daytrading always end the day in a closed position.
I really hope so, thats for sure.

5k is a pipe dream right now
1k sustainably at year end would do pretty nicely
Adoption metrics more important than price right now

I sure would rather trust someone "fun at parties" for economic outlooks and financial advice than someone willing to face truths.
Blitz, whatever happens I think you can feel safe in the knowledge that no-one is ever going to come back and say "It was that moderator from bitcointalk who convinced me to buy them!"

Yeah I know, surely there must be few people that fancy a 2:1 on the chance of BTC-e folding!
(I'm blatently pimping the NO side cos I'm mostly the whole of the yes side
)i hope, but i'm doubt
it is better btc prices steadily increase instead suddenly pump to high prices
so they don't use another exchange, just btc-e?
tricky statement

hmm, be careful with btc-e statementso they don't use another exchange, just btc-e?
tricky statement
The wording on the bet is clear that if BTCE folds it resolves no. Which I thought made for an interesting twist. I can't believe there isn't more on the no side at the moment. easy money for all the bears out there surely
TERA was giving a more balanced opinion than 90% of the ones expressed on this forum. A lot of people have their interests in BTC increasing in value, myself included. At the same time, it is important to consider the facts... $5000 before the end of this year is ridiculously optimistic.

They've already been working on it for almost a year. Second, many observers felt that this week's announcement by the SEC is virtual certainty that it will happen. The more people that put their money in bitcoin, the more they obviously trust it. It is adoption whether you choose to see it or not.

I think Bitpay has a much better reputation than Mt. Gox. The fact that it is not a rumor but that they tweeted it themselves is a big deal.

I hope so, but not before hits 100 quids .. pls
I think this is the year of chinese ban, so they will keep manipulating the market and makes everyone fells like we are about a huge fall due to possible chinese ban, so better wait the fall before buy(and keep waiting every fake chinese ban or manipulation)
Even if it goes up to 1k again and stabilizes there by the end of 2014 i'll call it another good year for btc ..! expecting 5k or 10k is asking for too much, but we never know what to expect from btc , only time will tell although nothing much positive happening these days and the market is stable from last 3weeks.
