Topic: price after segwit? (Read 3889 times)

The price at the moment is above 4000 dollars I think it is being too optimistic to think that bitcoin is going to grow up to ten thousand dollars before the end of the year however segwit has liberated bitcoin somewhat and we are finally seeing a price of bitcoin more close to reality.

i think it will go down a bit, just my crystal ball which is cryptofianciallyspeaking uneducated :-) but every time i think about a situation the opposite happens, don't know why

This question is very relevant right now, since Segwit is about to get activated in just a week's time.

I would really expect the price to not move this much, perhaps a $100-200 pump tops but no further movement apart from that. It probably won't go down that much either, if it was to go down which is unlikely in my opinion.

The reason why is because we basically all know now that segwit is going to get implement it. There is very little doubt. The pump has already happened when Segwit got locked in a week ago, and the upward trend is slowing down.

Unlike the 1st August events, the segwit activation is pretty much certain and i'd be surprised if it doesn't go smoothly.

In my opinion segwit had good effect to cryto currency society, because segwit is result of increasing trends of bitcoin in the market. Therefore due to segwit more opportunity will opened to the investors even other users.

Here is some very recent positive experience for an altcoin (ABY) price change after SegWit, a week after SegWit and CSV implementation on its test net (see that cited thread for details):

Most likely it will, but I want bitcoin finally turned into currency for all of its parameters. Any currency must have a circulation in the economy. I want to not only collect coins but also free to purchase goods and earn money . I hope it someday happens.

Nobody will be able to give a correct answer for that.
Maybe the price is the lowest right now?!
Fact is at the moment nobody is really willing to buy or to sell due to uncertainty of the coming SegWit activation.
I believe as soon as SegWit is locked in, we will continue moving up again. However I've got no idea how much and for how long, as a few months later we will be confronted with the next issure of a contentious hardfork.

I am agree with you that now the price of bitcoin is stable and it will be till the segwit and you are right that after the segwit the price of bitcoin will starting to goes upwards. To me I hope segwit will be very lucky for us and after segwit bitcoin will be very change our life with good way.

For me, things will develop approximately this way, if we get Segwit (due to Segwit2x) in August:

- First there will be another leg in the bubble. I think the current high prices reflect this expectation: no one wants to sell still because the opportunities, if Segwit goes through, are higher than the possible losses if it fails. I can imagine it going to a level between 4000 and 5000.
- But we should not forget that the real "black swan event" is most likely the hard fork with a possible chain split that will take place in November. So the bubble/rally could rapidly finish in a crash of epic dimensions if there are signs for a profoundizing community split that most likely will result in a chain split.   


It depends on the evolution of the "Segwit2x story" - if it's pretty sure that it will be adopted, then August 1 will have no significance and most likely you will see higher prices after the last July week. In this case, you would have to wait until October to get low prices again.

But if Segwit2x is doomed to fail (e.g. because of Craig Wrights "Segwit blocking initiative", or because a large miner gets out of the agreement in the last moment) then the lowest prices are probably achieved _around_ August 1, in the phase of maximum uncertainty (when it's not clear if UASF will get some traction, or if Bitmain will release its "Bitmaincoin" ...).

I still not understand one thing: When may the price of BTC be lowest? Before Aug 1st (because of the panic selling), or after Aug 1st?
This is the real question for me to invest, because I think in a long term the price of BTC will rise! I just dont know when we can buy BTC at a lower price than today, this event is an opportunity to buy!

If indeed you are correct then there won't be a issue in the next 16 years. But people are really uncertain in this trying times that's why most of them are worrying. But if they look at it at the outside, if the problem is solved then why worry? And the price could really push to new ceiling. Maybe $3000 or more could be attainable in the next months following Aug 1. Those people who are afraid and confuse don't really know how bitcoin price reacts to uncertainty.

Specialists are predicting that next scaling ceiling with SegWit2x is gonna happen after 16 years. So we have plenty of room to think of any alternatives.
As always we have no idea how the market will react to bitcoin upgrade, I expect that there might be pretty big disturbance before as many people will panic and sell off their positions.
After a successful upgrade, we will see rapid growth, hopefully, a new stable floor will be above $3000 and price won't ever go lower than that.

Of course it is natural, especially to those who are uncertain about the effect of the upcoming activation on August. This is the reason why we experience so much volatility lately. Some tend to sell their coins or shift to another boat. Segwit gives confusion especially to the non-technical users. But everything will end to what it is supposed to be which is upward.

Think things will calm down after segwit and current rally will be over. Near 2k

Confusion and panic of people about segwit2x make me curious about segwit2x and after I read the article that discussed segwit2x on bitcoin, I think it's natural people speculate themselves and it makes us have the plans and decisions we will take to sell or hold bitcoin before or after segwit2x.

I believe Segwit can push the price upward.  Imagine the long problem of scaling is about to be solved.  Even though there are lots of FUD spreading around for the possible chain split, I believe this are only propaganda to make people sell their own Bitcoin stash at a cheaper price.  Though a Chain split means you will have Bitcoin in two chain if you happen to hold some before the fork.  This mean profit and then the main chain will definitely skyrocket in terms of price.

Segwit makes many people confused and panic. We all get the issue that there will be a drastic reduction in bitcoin prices and also there is a mention that there will be an increase. We all can only speculate what will happen, segwit make everyone become uncontrollable.

Yeah that dip to, what was it $2100? That is where segwit2x uncertainty was priced in. From here we HODL, then on August 2nd-10th when everything goes well we're going so much higher. Hopefully the infinite supply ponzi known as ETH will crash.

I wouldn't bank on their being any dip at all, it could be already priced in and don't forget that if bitcoin splits into two chains, you need to have bought it before 1st August to own them both

This is added incentive for people to buy before so they can benefit from the big blocks chain and Luke's 1mb chain if it doesn't die immediately 

i think everyone has their own prediction about the price of bitcoin and to me i think bitcoin will not drop any more and but will remain stable tell segwet and after that it will continue increasing.
