No one is expecting Bitcoin rising to $1000 only because of SegWit implementation.
no, but the convergence of 3 factors ... yes :
- segwit + supply soaring (before 2017)
- NIRP (negatif interest on 2017)
- Law about health assurance freezed (2017)

I don't see why new technology implementations would make the price rise. Since only actual Bitcoin holders will understand what it does mean, that probably won't drive masses here.
When segwit is activated, and eventually Lightning Network is put to work, then it means that Bitcoin can grow to suit the world better. See it as some sort of a "future proof" update that is really needed to get Bitcoin to the next level. It makes everyone excited as these are the updates people have been waiting for. Mega merchants thinking to accept Bitcoin payment might hold back because of the 1MB block size. These will surely step in when they see the time is right. They have entire research teams to look at what's best for them.

Well i hope that it can affect the price of bitcoin and it can push the price until 1k value..
Bitcoin price today still in the level hard to rise because i didn't hear any news about adoption for bitcoin..

The only thing exploding will be those greedy f@ckers faces when Bitcoin fails to reach 1000 after segwit is released.

Ok maybe a few guys around here hope that to happen.
But I'm pretty sure the overall majority is knowing of the actual situation which will need much more than just SegWit to push us up close to the ATH.

Bitcoin is still king, at least for now.
Every exchange needs a common currency to convert altcoins.
So even if people stopped spending Bitcoin directly, they would still need a way to convert one coin to another.
BTC is the gold standard right now. That may change eventually, but for now $600 coins are a decent investment.
You probably won't lose money, and you could stand to make a nice profit.
With Segwit coming soon, and the possibility of some new services like Mega accepting Bitcoin, the chances that the price go up are even better.

Hillary Clinton is great.
You never seem to be able to at least show some compassion for Bitcoin, right? It's only hate and negativity coming from you.SegWit is the kind of update people here have been waiting for, and when activated, it can bring Bitcoin to the next level.
But no, you are still being the ultra bear that you always have been.
And if you really believe more in ETH and XMR, then why are you still in the Bitcoin part of this forum?
I have been keeping an eye on him for quite a long time now, and even though he is behaving like a full dirtbag as you also mentioned, he's still buying and selling Bitcoin no matter how much shit he is spreading to make Bitcoin look bad.
And exactly that is what makes him not only a liar, but also the lowest of the lowest.
hes a bottom feeder who spends about 23 hours a day here trying to convince newbs to sell their btc cheap so he can buy them
and rob them of their future gains
CHEF RAMSEY is correct ,he is among the lowest of the low around here...........
October 02, 2016, 09:14:32 AM
Segwit is just a step before price raise, we need something else to pump bitcoin price such as raise the HYPE or spread the words about how useful is segwit for bitcoin future 
kim dotcom is launching new services
etfs are coming
segwit ,sidexchains ,litening ,mimblewible and too many other features to list are coming
these are the last times you may see 600 bitcoins ,if you dont care dont cry later
ive been in since $6 bitcoins and im still adding to my stack after taking profits several times already

Segregated Witness + Lightning Network are 2 biggest protocol upgrades bitcoin will experience in its history so far.
If these two technologies will be implemented and boost bitcoin network capabilities then price will follow.
Of course it is silly to speculate how big this price advance will be - and $1000 is more like psychological barrier more than real threshold.

Where I can found more info About segwit and LN? Like a paper or any technical explanation?
i read the page on https://bitcoincore.org/ which was about SegWit and i think it was good and informative with the roadmap.
also you can use google to find more opinions about SegWit like pros and cons. but remember whenever it comes to this topic a lot of the information you can find online is biased and many are wrong (whether in supporting it or in denying it)

(whoever is not familiar what segwit is - read this,for example https://cointelegraph.com/news/final-countdown-bitcoin-cores-segwit-to-be-released-after-long-testing )
maybe yes,maybe not as much as we all think it would?
wasn't halving supposed to see btc over the moon or at least over 1000$?
never happened
remember one thing,guys:our wishes or speculations mean nothing regarding to how much btc would cost
a fat chinese whale selling 20.000 coins on Huobi would see all the experts here humiliated in a matter of minutes
We rose about 50% just before the halving. That was the halving rally. (whoever is not familiar what segwit is - read this,for example https://cointelegraph.com/news/final-countdown-bitcoin-cores-segwit-to-be-released-after-long-testing )

i can't wait to see segwit released both to see how it is going to work out and how it is going to help or not help the availability of bitcoin and also since it is a good news about improvement to bitcoin anyways, it will surely increase the price.

Unfortunately for bitcoin it comes way too late.
Companies, venture capital, banks are already switching to superior networks like eth and monero.
Bitcoin is slowly dying a quiet death. Every day there are less and less people buying bitcoin and more selling. Even worse, every day there are less and less transactions on the network.

I already didn't value your words, but saying that Ethereum and Monero are superior compared to Bitcoin, makes me even see you more as some sort of a clown. Everything you say is pure nonsense, and I have the feeling that you also know that. You just try to make newbies doubt Bitcoin to make them sell their coins...

Ethereum and Monero are superior? The last time I looked both cryptocurrencies also have problems with scalability especially with Ethereum's case. Ethereum dapps will be subject to some sort of runtime errors because the sheer number of transactions will not be handled by the network. There is also the bloating of the blockchain. Ethereum is already 18GB large in just a couple of years being online. It has not even reached high transactions per block yet. With Monero how can they surpass Bitcoin? They are lacking a GUI and infrastructure needed to gain more users. The acceptance in the DNM is overrated and it is hype.
kwukduck's comments were fun for a while but it bores me to even want to justify them with a reply. i think almost every single member of this forum who has ever visited the speculation board knows him and his cries for the drop to $100 starting a very long time ago.

1000+ won't cut it, we need 10.000+. We already seen 1000+ it is no big deal, heck we are already at 600+ very close to 1000. If we get to 10k bitcoin will be everywhere all over again.
October 01, 2016, 03:26:14 AM
of course eventually the price will reach $1000 and it certainly takes time. but we never know when it happens. even the end of the year 2016 or 2017 still doubt that prices could touch $1000. In addition Segwit even, bitkingdom predicts the price will reach $2000 soon and I hope all the predictions it would soon happen.

Ethereum has a ton of problems, it would need a ton of work to fix them. I'm not sure it's superior to some shitcoins ...
Monero is good and developing. But really? Banks and monero? Meaning to team up something that is about centralization, control and getting all the customer data they can with something that's about anonymity and freedom? The banks that have to comply the anti-money laundering laws and Monero where you don't know where the money came from? This would be one of the best jokes in history.

Well there was some news that the "explosion" to $1000+ was caused by a bot that was artificially pushing the price up and above $1000+. I believe it will take the same kind of manipulation for Bitcoin to go above that price in a span of maybe 1 or 2 months. So everytime I see and read threads like these I just roll my eyes and consider it as hype or the poster only trying to hype. There is no crime in that but it is over done to the point that it does not make the people hopeful anymore. I prefer to hear the truth.
Market can react genuinely too, without bots. An explosion to 1000+ is possible if Bitcoin proves itself healthy and worthy. It's scarce enough to almost consider it under valuated.
However possible, the chance for such explosion is slim.
Segwit looks like a good step forward to a healthy Bitcoin where a spam attack will not make huge bottleneck in the network.
And healthier Bitcoin means a growth in value too. Since the markets were not thrilled, I expect a slow rise. And one day that would mean 1000+.
During the last 365 days the value already doubled (Even more then double: from 240-260 to around 600). It's a promising direction.
Just to be clear with you, I do not deny the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $1000 or more. But in my opinion it will take more time and it will be gradual if there is no manipulation going on. In fact I mentioned something in another thread that it would make sense for Bitcoin to reduce its volatility in % terms by reaching and stabilize at $10,000 per coin.

i believe that SegWit is going to be the same as halvening as far as price rise effects go.
it can potentially bring a lot of hype to bitcoin which can cause another big rise to happen. and this is just like any other hype before it.
and since bitcoin has been ready for a rise and the support is available enough for this rise, it can happen quickly and become stable on a higher price. but i think this can be as big as $100-$200 rise and not a $400.

September 29, 2016, 10:15:10 PM
The markets go by the same rule: Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
However, I didn't see anything big on the market in the last 2 days. There was a 8$ rise 3 days ago, 5$ fallback 1 day later and that's it.
The market is not thrilled by this news and then I don't see how this could lead an "explosion" to 1000+.

Segwit can only be positive for the price & also the future of bitcoin. However I'm not convinced that Segwit alone will catapult us to $1000+
We will see $1000+ again, it's just a question of when but it'll most likely take more than the integration of Segwit into Core.

Sometimes the news events in themselves don't warrant a particular move but they cause a movement just large enough to act as a catalyst for traders to think that some indicators have crossed and it's time for the next big move out of a coiled up area. The move then spikes media attention, and a chain reaction occurs.
I agree it only need some major upgrade and let it be a catalyst to boost price. We all know that this is all about speculation on how we convince people to make it believe that the speculation is true. With this update coupled by good press and then people rally behind this event, there is a huge possiblity of a next bubble to occur.
September 29, 2016, 12:12:51 PM
I like how optimistic you are about probably the most important update so far, but it will cost a year or two before we reach the $1000 level. It's not as easy as it may look. Just imagine how many people will start selling their coins as soon as the price reaches $1000. It's their target. And if we do happen to reach $1000, then we still have to settle above that level which I can't really see happen.
I think it's a wrong assumption to believe many people will sell when $1000 is reached.
Why should they? Because they may have reached break even then, and leave without a profit?
Only the dumb ones will do so, who still have no idea why they invested in Bitcoin at the top and still are clueless about what potential Bitcoin is having.
These guys will cry when Bitcoin reaches $2000 and even more per coin in the future.
Furthermore I'm sure we can see the $1000+in the next coming 6-8 months.It won't take years if not another hack or other serious issue happens.
I am not talking about people that bought their coins back in 2013 at the time the ATH peak was in the making. I am talking about those that bought this year and last year. There are enough people that have set their targets on reaching $1000 to sell at. Also, people securing profits doesn't mean they will miss out on potential profits due to the price going higher. It's called smart handling.
September 29, 2016, 12:09:51 PM
I thought about this change. How I see it now - upgrade alone is not enough. Of course is hyped and bitcoin network capabilities will grow.
But if we want price to rise, we need more. For know majority of bitcoiners are holders, they happily stash their coins and wait - I don't think this is good strategy anymore.
We need to use our bitcoins - show the world that it is more than something you can buy once and hold. Bitcoin needs to be live - adoption will push the price higher.
We could have all the upgrades in the world - but when network is not used enough - it won't change anything.

After SegWit activation, I expect bitcoin to rise gradually, touching $1500 in mid-2017
eh 1500 is really a lot, to be called a gradually rise lol, i think near 1k is possible above that you need a serious money influx, from new people not the same whales playing between themselves

Maybe that the price will give a short reaction at the time SW gets being put to work, but it's a bit too much to expect such an increase only because of this.
If people had faith that it would result in a massive trigger, then people would have start with buying already to secure themselves a seat in the "yet to be fueled rocket".

Why should they? Because they may have reached break even then, and leave without a profit?
Only the dumb ones will do so, who still have no idea why they invested in Bitcoin at the top and still are clueless about what potential Bitcoin is having.
These guys will cry when Bitcoin reaches $2000 and even more per coin in the future.
Furthermore I'm sure we can see the $1000+in the next coming 6-8 months.It won't take years if not another hack or other serious issue happens.

The markets go by the same rule: Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
However, I didn't see anything big on the market in the last 2 days. There was a 8$ rise 3 days ago, 5$ fallback 1 day later and that's it.
The market is not thrilled by this news and then I don't see how this could lead an "explosion" to 1000+.

I like how optimistic you are about probably the most important update so far, but it will cost a year or two before we reach the $1000 level. It's not as easy as it may look. Just imagine how many people will start selling their coins as soon as the price reaches $1000. It's their target. And if we do happen to reach $1000, then we still have to settle above that level which I can't really see happen.

Sometimes the news events in themselves don't warrant a particular move but they cause a movement just large enough to act as a catalyst for traders to think that some indicators have crossed and it's time for the next big move out of a coiled up area. The move then spikes media attention, and a chain reaction occurs.

Segwit will solve alot of minor thing for now. A big thing I'm looking at is smaller transactions, meaning cheaper ones and more space for my 10sat/byte tx
September 29, 2016, 12:30:52 AM
I remember when Bitcoin had regularly scheduled rallies of 1000% for no particular reason at all other than that was the trend.

Segwit is getting activated really soon now, 0.13.1 is only weeks away:
https://twitter.com/bitcoincoreorg/status/780798709210746880
It's going to be great and it will translate in the price sooner than later, get ready.
I'm excited to see what will come of this, however we are definitely going to be sitting anywhere close to $1,000 if it comes out and works as intended right off the bat. The price will definitely move upwards, but not in some sort of miracle $400 fashion. https://twitter.com/bitcoincoreorg/status/780798709210746880

I do not think so. Whatever news we have collected and know right now is already translated in the price. If price of Bitcoin really will go to $1000+ why not today? We all have the same information dont we? It will take a while longer before we will see Bitcoin to go back above $1000 and stay above it. A most optimistic prediction for me is maybe by the end of 2017. Most likely it will be later in 2018 - 2019, and that is still a big maybe.

segwit and the block size matter has been the center of a lot of drama from the start. and when it is released if it is successful and successfully adopted i think it can make some bigger changes in price but certainly not $1000 fast
September 28, 2016, 11:32:39 PM
Sooooooooo Not Gonna Happen.

segwit is just going to be like an ignition to the rocket to the moon.
it is not going to create the rocket or fuel it
in other words the market is so ready for a big price rise and segwit can be that little nudge that it needs to start going up.

Segregated Witness + Lightning Network are 2 biggest protocol upgrades bitcoin will experience in its history so far.
If these two technologies will be implemented and boost bitcoin network capabilities then price will follow.
Of course it is silly to speculate how big this price advance will be - and $1000 is more like psychological barrier more than real threshold.

I dont think bitcoin will go that easily to 1000$. There need to happen alot more
Yeah I agree with you. Even at the time of last halving everyone was expecting btc to reach 1000+ but it didn't I think it's the similar situation right now. Of course with Segwit BTC will make some move maybe increase a bit but it won't touch 1000$ just yet. September 28, 2016, 07:07:48 PM
The market is clearly thrilled with this news.
September 28, 2016, 06:38:05 PM
bitcoin is coming from behind like a BBC to rape your sister !
get them before its too late or forever quit whining like a b1tch when btc rises to $1800 in a few months

Not entirely sure about that target, but I'm def expecting a big move around Segwit.
September 28, 2016, 05:05:02 PM
I am sure that as soon as Segwit gets activated that the price will go up as result, but not even close to $1000 levels. I can see a short lasting peak of $100 at most. And yes, I say short lasting because after a week or two, the price will come back down as everything will cool down again. I much rather prefer the price to go up in a slower, but much more sustainable manner. That's better for everyone.

SegWit will address some of the issues, but the real push will come from the LN in my opinion. Let's just hope every angle is covered with
this and no exploits are possible after it's implementation. They have had enough time to make it rock solid. I predict a small price
increase to about $700 after this implementation, because it will add some extra publicity and exposure in mainstream media.

Dunno about price but it's a very significant shot in the arm for future potential. If there was nothing of the type on the horizon then Bitcoin would appear a lot less appealing to many, myself included.
I'm dead curious to see what a functioning lightning network is going to look like. Will it be painfully clunky or a smooth running dream?

1000+ with segwit alone?
I don't think so.
Segwit, while a great step forward, as far as I know won't completely solve the scaling issue. We need a consensus reached overall so there are no more bad actors and uncertainties of a HF, plus an ETF approved... then we'll see $1000+
I don't think so.

SegWit alone will probably not push the price up that is true.
But it's a great step in the right direction.Furthermore Bitfury announced that they together with Acinq have made great progress in the lightning network routing.

ACINQ’s team, using the specifications set out in the white paper, coded a payment routing algorithm and tested it with 2,500 AWS nodes. After their
tests, ACINQ discovered that the proposed Flare algorithm was able to find a payment route in about .5 seconds with a probability of 80 percent.

This all took/takes some time but it more and more looks like it will pay off.

I don't think segwit alone have enough fuel to pump the price that high. However we may see some positive movements in markets but still unpredictable one.
