Nah, I think 2015 could drift around between the last two ATHs aimlessly. I think as long as everyone remembers that all prices will get visited and re-visited many times, they can ride the waves to make lots of extra BTC.
God knows BTC is the internet of money and will be immense in comparison to where it is today, but we all know that this is the speculative, early phase. I actually don't think there's much risk, but patience is required.
Spooderman,
This is one of the first times that I heard a prediction like yours above... - eg BTC prices floating between last two ATHs (to me that means more or less floating between $266 and $1,163).
Actually, there seems to be more convincing predictions (in my thinking) that BTC prices are going to go much beyond the last ATH.. once BTC prices arrive at a
certain tipping price point b/c at a certain tipping price point, there are going to be a lot of people jumping on board the BTC train at various points along the way of getting to and surpassing the
certain tipping price point and thereafter pushing the upward BTC price speculation. Personally, I tend to believe that the BTC tipping price point to be around the $850 price range.
I personally find it a little bit infeasible that BTC prices would float around and/or between the last two ATHs, as you suggest. Nonetheless, I could see BTC prices floating between $266 and $850 for some time.. maybe even another year.. then get some kind of upward price growth into the $3k to $13k arena, and then floating back down a little bit below the previous ATH into the $900s or so.. However, it seems that more likely, once BTC prices rise past the previous ATH of $1,163, they will go so far past that previous ATH and shoot past the previous ATH into the $3k to $13k range that it becomes much more difficult to go back down below the previous ATH but surely NOT impossible.
Surely a lot of dynamics and players are changing in the BTC space, so past results cannot be a very clear predictor of future performance... because the BTC investment category becomes more mature in several ways and that maturity brings new kinds of players into the BTC space to affect performance in a different way (as contrasted with the past)... yet at the same time, as these new players become more and more invested in the future performance of BTC, they also become more and more inclined to take ordinary and extra-ordinary measures to keep investing and prevent the price from falling below a certain price point (including the previous ATH - once the price shoots past the previous ATH). I still assert, never say never; however, hopefully you understand the point that I am attempting to make here?
