https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13644861https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15004768I made a similar prediction 4 years ago. I realize $6k is a bold statement, but I think we are smooth sailing higher from here on out for the next 1.5-2 years. Target peak bitcoin price at climax of new bull run is $200k-400k.
There’s just too small of a supply of bitcoin with such an increasing amount of money and interest flooding into the sector for bitcoin to stay where it is. I think the price bottomed at $3500 and we are now on our way back up. It will be a slow grind up, but I would say in about 9-12 months that’s when the gut wrenching roller coaster will really begin.
When we have seen it all along, the masses are just beginning to see why bitcoin is so valuable, because it’s scarcity and because it does not have the liability of being attached to any government. It takes a while for the world to wake up to a new paradigm, but this is an idea that can’t be stopped. Basically as fiat currency keeps getting printed at ever increasing speed, you can count on bad money(fiat) chasing after good money(bitcoin).
So, while other cryptos may do better % wise, bitcoin will maintain market dominance because it has the market momentum and is basically the eponym of cryptocurrency. Because a lot of noobs coming into the market view bitcoin and crypto as the same thing, most will buy bitcoin. Or, if they are a slightly more sophisticated investor and they choose to diversify into other coins, a majority of their portfolio will be bitcoin, because it is considered to the average person as the safest choice due to it being around the longest.
I admit my prediction is basically a hunch, based on mostly fundamentals and looking at what the price has done historically around the time of the halvenings. I have been around for a bit so I feel like I have a good pulse on the market. Just my 2 cents.
I would like this post to stay up so I can look back at it fondly from time to time after I’m proven to be right.
Thanks for starting a new thread and posting your views and the links to your previous predictions. I had thought you deleted my comment until I discovered that the entire thread was deleted for lack of OP content. Fair enough.
I also believe 6k will not be broken again however if it does, I'll be throwing everything I can at it like last time at 3k's.
The previous support base at 6.4K will act as major support now and anything that gets close will be bought immediately.
Personally, I think anything below 10K is a bargain. I think of 8k as a 20% discount.
Soon It will naturally make sense (psychologically and mathematically) to view .01 bitcoin as $100, in fact most of us probably already do.
