without SegWit price is rising to the moon, currently we are close to $3000.
and the demand is strong.

now imagine when SegWit activates and all the things you said come true. no more large backlog, no more higher fees, and no more delays. first thing that will happen is that all the money that went into altcoins will come out with their bubbles bursting. second thing is people who were a bit uncertain will come back and invest. the previous growing demand is also there.

in short if price is not going to $3000 with SegWit it goes to $6000
Being optimistic very much eh? the reason price is increasing like never seen before is because of the banks blocking some of the major exchanges accounts and their clients accounts as well, I predict the price to drop when they solve their issues, and again price being on the move towards $3500/$4500 after segwit is activated.

what banks? and what exchanges? I haven't heard this theory before as a factor for the price increase of BTC. 


yeah thats because it isn't true. It was happening in China, but that got resolved recently. And it wasn't inflating the price, it was keeping it down. China started helping to push Bitcoin up again when China opening back up their exchanges for withdrawals.

So segwit will supposedly be activated this Fall right? This should mean blocks are no longer near full, transaction fees go back down to hopefully 10 cents or so, and sending bitcoin will go back to taking tens of minutes instead of hours.

What will all this do to the price?

Will this first step in scaling be the sign investors need to really start jumping in on Bitcoin? Will it be the sign the USA SEC needs to approve the Bitcoin ETF, allowing people to invest in bitcoin more easily?

Assuming bitcoin growth slows down this summer, will segwit create another boom this Fall like we've had this Spring, sending bitcoin possibly close to $10,000 by end of year?

Whatcha think?
I think if that will not have a lot of difference with litecoin. But if the segwt of bitcoin will be implmented and it will bring back the lost demand of bitcoin. i mean those are using the litecoin and doge will back for using bitcoin again.

Once segwit is locked in, the price will double faster than you can get money sent to an exchange...
Uncertainty is the enemy of all investments, take away the uncertainty and the whales will come back in, half the people that got bored and bought eth will come back to daddy Wink
If you are low on btc buy them now!

In  two weeks you will have to pay 5k+ if  you don't buy  now

Am  I the only one here that doesn't mind paying a little higher fees? I mean I wouldn't mind fees going back as they were.

Once Segwit locks in, money comes in immediately because direction forward is known. Im pro Segwit, but the main thing holding big money out if Bitcoin is uncertainty of direction. I think we have a good chance of seeing 5k before Segwit. Bunch of weird things will drive up price, including money moving off exchanges.

Pretty much, we've had almost 100% rise in the price since two months ago and this price even exceeded my expectations. Of it continues like this, we might see unleast $4k before SegWit implementation.

Im on segwit. But i think miners don't agree with that. They are greedy as hell. That's why segwit still not activated. This shoud be activated a long time ago. But they are blocking it by not voting for it. This time, they will be force to activate segwit because the problem is getting worse. High fees could kill bitcoin. And segwit i think is the only way.

well I understand them, and I believe most of us would b doing the same thing if we were in their position, so I don't blame them that much but the segwit implementation is inevitable.

Sending Bitcoin is and will still be instant. However I do agree we need fees like they used to be... We're yet to see if SegWit will provide such.

What will all this do to the price?

If price is the only thing you want to discuss, then it's maybe better to have this on the speculation section I think. Anyways, if what happened on other coins applies to Bitcoin, the price will go down, at least for a few days... Which is great as I'll be able to get cheap coins Smiley
