Topic: What do you think the price of bitcoin will be 1 year from today (feb 2015)? (Read 6389 times)

6000$ in a year is my prediction.

I just quoted myself so I can't change it!

BUY now or cry on 8th of February!

Let's hope I meant $250 and not $2.50

I guess you win the prize so far Elwar (if you mean $250 for "two fiddy".)  Although we are not quite to February yet.  I hope my conservative estimate of $1200 still stands but it is looking less likely.

So , how are these predictions going?
=))))))

zero.  ok ok, about $0.10.  It'll have a tiny value because it'll be like owning a little bit of history.  The first crypto!

For crypto to get anywhere, at some point there needs to be a consensus as to which one the world is going to favour otherwise it's all been pointless.

That'll be the one that's highest in the minds of those who drive it. Right now that's Bitcoin.

Huh, for some reason, I want to say that the market cap will actually hit $25B for a short while, but I don't have it coinciding with Feb. 2015. So, I'm going to say $650. That sounds like a somewhat okay number to go with...

1000$

In a year , too many coins with no diference with bitcoin , only was the first .

> $8000 There is no stopping the rocket.

I don't hate Bitcoin. I just want to see you lose everything. That would be so funny.

I will bet you 25BTC that Bitcoin will indeed exist in Feb 2015.

+1

667,45 $.

pun intended? get it "mean" charts!? HAHAHAHAHA!

Lol at all the bulls ITT...

I think the most likely scenario will be around $800-900/btc. I said this around december and I still believe we are about to see the longest sideways movement we've ever encountered. We'll see our next rally somewhere around mid to late 2015... maybe with wallstreet action, huge breakthroughs or wrinkelvoss etf's... thats plenty of time for weak hands to leave the train before it takes off again with the lucky ones

basis for prediction: if price stays the same-$700-$800, then with monthly difficulty rises at 50% (much less than current~72%) by October-November cost of electricity will be approximately the same as monthly bitcoin production (in most places). Considering that machines cost anywhere between $6000-10000 for 2-3TH, the situation would be untenable.

Therefore, BTC has to be at no less than $2500 somewhere between July and Nov (with 50% average monthly rise).
With 40% monthly diff rise-at least $1600
With 30%-at least $900
With anything below these $$ numbers-mining is in jeopardy.

Feb 2015 is too far to predict. Could be between 0 and 10000.

2014 and 2015 are going to be stressful years for crypto. The resistance we encounter for next two years will determine the near-term fate of Bitcoin as a mainstream technology. If it survives in the mainstream market until 2016/2017 then it's won a place in the world economy and the price cap will be insanely high. It's impossible to tell right now...

I predict we'll see $10,000 within 12 months assuming we establish some regulatory clarity.

As far as regulation is concerned; the world will continue to spin tomorrow in the same fashion that it does today. The powers that currently exist will try to grab as much power as they can get away with grabbing. The reality of the matter is that regulators can never have more than the illusion of control if they seek it with Bitcoin...

Regulating Bitcoin isn't the same as regulating the dollar... They don't own the control over it and are simply limited in the powers available to them... The protocol can't be regulated; only within the businesses and exchanges that convert it to USD can they effectively enforce regulations.

The dollar is highly regulated; of course any transactions that convert BTC into dollars will be regulated as well. Outside the scope of exchange for dollars they can't accomplish anything with regulation.

If you can't live with regulation then don't exchange BTC for USD. The P2P aspect will never be regulated for as long as the government wishes to maintain the image of a representative government. Any attempt would simply be unenforceable for lack of the governmental tools and powers to do it.

I have no idea where we'll be next year. I just think it's all or nothing with Bitcoin...
