Topic: What will help bitcoin reach 20k again? (Read 524 times)
For sure the price of the bitcoin will increase and reach again at $20,000 but we need unity like simple keeping your bitcoin and keeping buying to reach our target price again .
Bitcoin's price reached $20k back in December 2017 because of the popularity it gained over the past years wherein even your cab driver knew about BTC. There were mixed news all over the mainstream media during its growth - Countries banning/adopting Bitcoin, hard forks, bubbles, new millionaires thru crypto, hacked exchanges, kidnapping, robberies, scalability issues, etc. I believe that people's trust and belief in bitcoin's technology to have the potential to become the future financial system and Lightning Network development, will help BTC's price to reach another all time high within this year.
I think those people sending FUD about bitcoin in this forum have realized that bitcoin will always fail them. If those FUDs will stop, panic sellers will never coexist too. The time for bitcoin to rise has already initiated and we are now on 11K USD mark.
The current demand has a great effects on bitcoin price, I believe the last quarter of 2017 decrease in demand of bitcoin due to many conversion made by holders in preparation for the holiday season and because of that the value suddenly drops.
I think if investors will take the opportunity while bitcoin value is low surely the demand will increase again as well as the value can bring back to $19500.

Spreading the good news of what bitcoin is and what it can do can somehow help bitcoin to reach 20,000 again. With that, it can invite more investors to pour in their money on bitcoin. As the demand of people getting high and its supply getting low, bitcoin's market price will surely reach 20,000$ again or more.
Which updates in the coming months etc. will help bitcoin to recover to 20k again?
The ads for Bitcoin in youtube and Facebook or twitter is not enough we need to endorse Bitcoin as well to improve our benefits towards it. Invite your friends friends and tell their friends friends to do the same as them. That will probably boost Bitcoin.
It is not far away from 20k. Anything is possible for Bitcoin. Bitcoin can hit 20k anytime but there are some reason to lag behind. In some countries, government is banning it and people are in volatile. In around Q1 of 2018, bitcoin will recover it's price and will hit 20k.
A solution of the scalability problem. The fees were high enough half a year ago, in December they became insane. Now the situation is slowly improving, but any new surge of interest will congest the network again. But I have a feeling that such solution is not going to appear soon. Developers and miners have no incentive to solve the problem, so we will see the rise of many altcoins in 2018.
It is extremely difficult to see it happen during this month, maybe we are going to see those prices again on February of this year, but for me, the only way in that it can go back towards $20k is just if the block size gets increased, or just if the fees go back to $6 again.
Honestly, i think that reaching $20k again will be a longgg journey, i do not know why, but a lot of people are now switching to other altcoins in order to make more profit that just by holding bitcoin. It is a good thing, but in fact, it is a bad thing for bitcoin
To me it feels close and doesn't think it will take a long time to reach at $20k.Indeed at nowadays seems so many people are moving and looks more focusing on Altcoins, but still.. I'm still sure there are still many people who are still buying Bitcoin for investment, the more people who are still close to all activities related to Bitcoin considering the growing of the countries that has been legalize Bitcoin. Not to mention there are still many parties that supports Bitcoin that's remains minded the most special of crypto coin.

This is the market, bitcoin can not return to this level so quickly, and for a while bargain on the current range, in the flat. As for the news, absolutely any positive news can throw bitcoin to new heights. After all, this is the law of supply and demand, and the proposal, as is known in bitcoin, is limited
Agree and we should embrace every flaws of bitcoin especially its volatility as it's the one that can give us a good profit. Remember in the mid of 2017, bitcoin just play in $2k+ and suddenly it rose as so we can expect this thing to happen again. Bare in mind that history repeats itself so just hold on tight to bitcoin.

We can't really do anything that much about it. Bitcoin is naturally volatile since its demand from the market also changes a lot and same thing happens on its market value. What to do is to hold and just take advantage of the backdrops. Its market value will eventually increase now that it is becoming more popular and the demand is getting higher so postive news will come for Bitcoin this year.

The update we are all waiting is for the devs to tell to us that the lightning network is finally ready and that we can get cheap transactions once again, but we do not know when that is going to happen. 
Which updates in the coming months etc. will help bitcoin to recover to 20k again?
I think more countries making bitcoin legal will start the recovery process and what will make the value even go higher is the coming of the lightning network...just hope it’s not to far because we desperately need a fix for bitcoin to be used as an everyday currency.Only the increase in Investors make this happen. If the investor or buyer of bitcoin is increased, automatically the bitcoin price also increased.It's just like a asset need. If the need of any assets is increased, automatically the price of asset also increased. So this only make the bitcoin value equal to 20,000$.

In current times there is no need for anyone to spam the network. The increased usage and wild price swings make people transact back and forth like crazy, and thus this can be seen as free network cluttering for those who would otherwise spam the network themselves. The only thing we can blame certain miners for, is minting near empty blocks. Today it were BTC.TOP and Antpool who minted both a near empty block, which is just ridiculous in current times. People and services are desperately waiting for confirmations, and these bastards just troll everyone by making them wait longer, and further clutter the network. In the last few days Antpool minted four near empty blocks, which has become a frequent practice for them.
BTC can reach 20 000$ in few days,this is not big problem-but how to keep it in that level is quite another thing.Strength of BTC should be in small people around the world,and in this moment they are in some way excluded because they can not pay high fees and they transaction get stuck for weeks.When that problem be solved, people will start to buy/sell use more BTC and money will flow again in BTC.
We see that it is impossible to even keep 16 000-17 000$ levels,whales always dump their coins and reverting us back.I think this year shoud be more focus on scalability and to regulation of cryptocurrency in world,until these issues are resolved price can just be pumped up and then go down again.

Regulation? Bitcoin doesn't have to wait for some power greedy old men to regulate it or announce bullshit laws.
Bitcoin will keep evolving whatever these old dinosaur say or do.
Bitcoin won't give a damn! This is the cypherpunks building their system, outside of the existing one.
Jesus what kind of bs are you writing here!
I think bitcoin as a minimum will once again test the mark of $ 20,000 and go even higher and we all will see it this year)) those who bought at such heights then wait of course.
Which updates in the coming months etc. will help bitcoin to recover to 20k again?
I seriously believe that the ban rumors of some countries are the major reason why bitcoin price remains uncertainty and it will take positive news about this banning for bitcoin to turn green and break the last high of $20,000. The few things that can also contribute is for some of the exchangers that has suspend new accounts to reopen it as this we bring new traders into the market.the bitcoin ban FUD is not known to be affecting bitcoin price for long or big. the biggest news was the Chinese bitcoin ban FUD which only lasted about a week. and although we currently are within the same amount of time but I think the biggest reasons are still the rise itself which required a correction time like this and also the unacceptably high transaction fees.
with that said there has been a drop in number of transactions in mempool although the size is still the same so I think they have at least slowed down the spam attack for now.
Basically what will help bitcoin increase is through us if buy more bitcoin and help spread the good information regarding investing on it then it is a good chance that bitcoin will help increased it's price until it reaches 20,000.
perhaps like what happened before when bitcoin becomes popular all over the internet we see the price touch down the all time high price for the first time. However maybe that is the specific ways to increase the valued of bitcoin again which is we need to spread the good information about it and advertise bitcoin through our different social media account to attract some of the big companies to invest in bitcoin.

Unacceptable fee makes everyone think again when to buy or use bitcoin.Demand will reduce and sites will stop bitcoin -------------> price will down.
when development complete LN network price will start back again.
also, exchange sites ban make effect good "reduce network spam"
No doubt bitcoin is at the top since this one is the first cryptocoin made and been adopted well by many of us. And bitcoin create to much noise that's why we can see it getting more demands on it so we expect that it will pump if this adoption continuously rise and we cannot say that bitcoins will rise until 2 months time frame since the dip goes hard with it and their is a current Korean issue killing the trust of wake hands and doubting minded guys.
We just need some time. Right now it's stable between 13-16 k, so as time goes by people who are scared after last big drop we'll think that in the end it's not so dangerous investment and that bitcoin resists. At least the same happens when I invest after previous big drops.
On the other hand Lighting Network is going to be quite important this year, and it'll help bitcoin price. At least it's what I hope.

No major issues have been found other than the FUD that has been generated to promote something else using the name of exchange ban. This too has been sought and now the price seems to be staggering for a price pumping that could grow the quoted $20k to record a new milestone.

Even if it happens, it will take more than months until we can see those prices again, i am optimist about it, but i do not think that the price will climb toward those prices soon.
And if it happens, just prepare to sell all your altcoins because you will see a huge bloodbath on all your cryptos, except btc.
And for those who are saying that the ligthning network will pump the price, let me tell you that it is not going to get implemented because the huge large mining pools doesn't want it to get implemented.
Yes It possible, because bitcoin will still up and shine for the price. I think $ 20,000 could be happen in this year.
Because of that too, I still invest in bitcoin for long term. I realized bitcoin more give profitable in my future.

Our full support and trust towards bitcoin and the entire crypto world will surely boost for it's growth. Not exactly that it will saw it immediately but from time to time, we can see it will grow slowly.The market is always on the moved and more individuals we're wanting to be a part of this fast growing industry. And therefore, their will be a big possibilities that bitcoin will soar again.

Wall Street Strategist Tom Lee Says Bitcoin Could ‘Easily Double’ in 2018
Quote from: https://cointelegraph.com/news/wall-street-strategist-tom-lee-says-bitcoin-could-easily-double-in-2018
We still think the easiest way to look at Bitcoin, on a long term basis, is as a store of value. As the millennials generate income, they’re going to use it as a replacement for gold. If Bitcoin gets 5 percent of the gold market, that’s roughly $50 000 (per Bitcoin).
Bitcoin Adoption by Businesses in 2017
Bitcoin Destined For $28,000 In 2018 - Moas
Why do I think Bitcoin deserves the same valuation as gold? It’s very simple, I don’t know how much Gold there is in the ground, But I know how much Bitcoin there is, and I also know that if the current pace continues with one to two mln people around the world opening up new crypto accounts. We will have a few hundred million people by this time two years from now trying to get their hands on a few million Bitcoin that are available.
The number (of Bitcoin available) is a lot lower than what people think it is. A lot of the Bitcoin has been lost, some of it hasn’t been mined and then you have a lot of people like myself that just won’t sell their Bitcoin at any price.
Adoption will increase the price
Nothing can help bitcoin reach $20k again; it's just the supply and demand coming into play on the grand scheme of things. Right now, the demand for bitcoin is little compared to the available supply lying around, add to the fact that it's holidays still and some traders are still away and the recent bad news from South Korea and China. Positive press helps a lot in helping push the price up since it boosts the confidence of people to buy more than the usual. However the news and other developments related to bitcoin seem to stagnate at the moment resulting into a stagnation of the price as well.
Nothing or nobody is going to help bitcoin to reach 20K again. The only thing that will allow bitcoin to hit 20k again is bitcoin itself and the community. Lightning network can be a big stimulus for the price because if LN works out fine a lot of people will think we finally fixed the final issue with bitcoin (which is a wrong perception of what bitcoin in it's current state is IMO). Nevertheless I'm not counting on a external factor to cause a boost in price, after all we really don't need more attempts at market manipulation even if it would cause the price to go higher.

I guess the only thing that will help Bitcoin to reach those price levels again is patience by its holders. The lack of patience that many new traders are bringing in is hurting Bitcoin. With a little time, the markets will sooner or later reach new heights as far as Im convinced.

Continous demand after countering FUDs and negative speculation is the key for another bull run. There is no such thing as recover since we can considered the current price as "high". Remember that reaching 5 digits is already a good achievement so for now, as long as the price is sitting on that digit level then we can expect another bull run. We just used to experienced a large pump that's why when there is price decrease for up to (or around) $2,000-$3,000 we are in worries.
Updates or maybe you are referring for upcoming news and events isn't it? Well even how positive those it will depend on the impact on the community. So for now, let's just watch how the price moves and wait for that "upcoming events" if they will push up the price.
Which updates in the coming months etc. will help bitcoin to recover to 20k again?
I don't know about "updates", but there's the coming war on the korean peninsula, war with iran, trump impeachment, and general impending worldwide chaos.. these will all help bitcoin recover to 20k again
When all fud regarding possible ban of bitcoin trading in few countries will be over, bitcoin will start to pump again and it can easily go to over $20k.
Also if there will be active development on implementation of lightening network than price will fly to moon.
I think by end of Q1 of 2018, bitcoin price will be above $25k.

It's enough if the fuds are removed from the news, we can witness another bull market in bitcoin. This would shift the price above $20k actually.

Once that the Lightning Network gets implemented, the price is going to be a rocket again.
I am confident about it, and we all know that the LN is all we need right now, fast payments, cheap, and smoothly, that is what we need to make the price go up.

Scalability is the major issue here, transaction fee and confirmation time should be lower down not just to recover the price again rapidly but also to set new benchmarks in future. Users are much frustrated due to the problems they have faced regarding transactions in the past few months, this need to be resolved immediately.Moreover what i have observed there is one more thing that can recover the price is community "trust", the distributed investment should be gather again in order to pump the bitcoin again for the next ATH.

perhaps but for now we have no idea cause it seems there are no positive news about bitcoin nowadays. And they all said that this year is all about altcoin and i agreed on it as i see the valued of ETH nowadays. But dont loss hope mate soon it will recover maybe mid of this year. If i was you invest on alt while bitcoin is on dip and then covert it when bitcoin rise again. Which updates in the coming months etc. will help bitcoin to recover to 20k again?
Everyone has been waiting for the lightning network to be implemented in the network to reduce or to really solve the problem within the network.
When the bitcoin network comes back to a normal state (faster transaction and lesser fees) i believe that most of the companies who have withdrawn their support to bitcoin will comeback.
If the companies comeback to bitcoin and invest this move will have a huge effect in the market and most likely will lead to bitcoins having a higher price.
The transactions fee, a lot of people refuse to used Bitcoin again for transactions because of the fee, and with the decreasing transactions volume then the price will keep on going down, if this can be fixed I think 20k will be easy to achieve, and we can't keep on asking people to used Bitcoin because once the people see the fee then that people will choose other coin
Same as that happened in the last year, if one or more countries adopt bitcoin giving importance same as that they provide to the traditional currency of the respective countries will surely cause a price pumping to take place in a very smaller time period and the same will help for gradual growth.
There are two major frustrating changes in bitcoin network since mid of 2016 which if gets implemented, the price will start increasing nonstoppable.
1. The network fee is so high even some wallets like coinbase charges $13 for transaction of $5. This looks vwry unfair because small traders can't afford.
2. The time of confirmation has been increased much more than before, this means bitcoin doesn't give us facility of instant funds utilization anymore

I believe a solution to the transaction fee and the confirmation delay problem. This will definitely give a huge hype to Bitcoin that can help it to reach or probably surpass the 20k USD barrier. We all have experienced this annoying hight fees and long confirmation thing from Bitcoin. We even have to bid just to get our transaction confirmed faster. If this problem is solved, I am sure all these FUD thing will turn into a huge hype and will push Bitcoin price to its new ATH.
Many have been bothered by the high transaction fees and long confirmation time and if this were to be solved, then this would contribute to better feedback towards bitcoin and would possibly make the price to go up once people are encouraged to buy more. Less people are buying because of this present problem.
Another contributor would if good news about bitcoin were to be spread such as possible adoptions or innovations made, and once the FUDs are gone this would surely have some good impact on the price - or possibly create another hype.
time and only time.
time for everyone to accumulate enough bitcoin for the next round of rallies to come. that is how the different market stages work. rise > correction > (possible drops) > accumulation > rise
I suppose the news about mempool being empty again and transaction fees going back down is the best trigger for a big bull market.

I suppose the news about mempool being empty again and transaction fees going back down is the best trigger for a big bull market.
As bitcoin is recognized world wide now, If more and more countries like Japan legalize it and accept is as an alternative method of payment. That'll help the price rise further as the demand will increase. And due to the limited amount of 21 million It'll just help bitcoin increase it's price. And if there's some way from which the transaction fee comes back to normal people might get comfortable using it more often and thereby increasing the demand.
It will be touching those prices soon, but you just need to know that if there is still a lot of FUD, it will be never touching it. There is a lot of fud coming from Asia at the moment, that is what is creating an impossible way to increase the price ATM.

This question is something that I myself have asked all over again but no answer to it and every time it seems that there is a push towards that direction, something just happen that push things back to the initial position. But unfortunately there is nothing one individual can do than keep pushing and hope with all the good news and development in the pipeline when fully deployed could make price reached the all time high which seems to be eluding every day.

i think that price need to go under radar for a couple of months at least.. but that doesn't mean price need to go down!
it has to stay linear without spikes or crashes because any of both will let generalists news speculate around
we need less pressure at the moment in my opinion
