If it were still a GPU only game, the block split would most likely have increased the price.

But consider all the energy efficient FPGAs that will be online in 6 months, especially the MiniRigs, and the exiting of some GPU miners.

This means the average price of electricity per Bitcoin mined will drop before the split.

I think we will see $3 before we see $10

EDIT: I do realize that there's also a lot of "Hopes and Wishes" that it will go up. And as much as we need rational discourse, the truth is this is a wild beast that cannot be tamed, and it will go wherever which way it wants Wink

Sorry if this seems rather stupid..
But after reading some of the new topics on BTC and the way it works, There are (from what I read) only 21 million bitcoins available which are slowly diminishing over time, what happens after all 21 millions coins are revealed, is that the end of bitcoin & cyber currency? As I also read, the number of bitcoins will never increase above 21 mil.

Just curious.

I hope it rises a lot.I really do think that if someone can comeup with a good alternative to bitcoin they can make a lot of $$$ by licensing the tech to people willing to build apps around them. I expect it to be around maybe $11 in 2 months time based on Eurozone crisis.

Soon someone will create a better version or a new currency based on bitcoin when you don't have to download 2 GB to get started and I am not talking about client bitcoin version

I can tell you that very exciting things will happen within 2-6 months. And probably every month thereafter Wink

Bitcoin has proven itself last year. Many people thought the whole thing was a joke, and when the price bubble popped they argued Bitcoin would fall to zero and go away. Yet, it still ended 2011 up over 1,400%, making it the best performing asset class in the world.

This year, it's shown remarkable stability which is another thing critics have said could not happen. Slowly but surely, people are discovering how useful and revolutionary this technology is. The change takes a while, but it's happening bit by bit. Must be the most exciting project in the world to be involved in, considering the potential ramifications of success.

There is a lot of upside in the bitcoin economy and it would not be surprising to see BTCUSD triple, quadruple, quintuple or more in the foreseeable future.

I definitely see it raising maybe not quite 20% but at least somewhere greater than 10%. As has been stated by others it has proven itself even after the decline. Great things are coming I think.

I've been watching it passively for a very long time now and watched it go from ~$20/BTC down to ~$5/BTC and it's stayed there for quite a while, so it seems like it's going to remain in the $4-6 range for the foreseeable future--unless a large online merchant (not even the Amazon or Steams of the world, even a smaller group like GOG.com or GamersGate would be enough to catapult the value sky high) starts accepting them.

Probably. The boom to $30+ prices in June of last year was mostly because of the exposure from the Wired article about Silk Road. The bust in August was just a market correction. If you ignore that when looking at the price since Bitcoin first appeared, the increase to the current price over time is slow and steady. That trend is very likely going to continue unless something else happens that puts another run on the supply of Bitcoins.

Hmmm. I'm not sure how much a rise in BTC price correlates with what's going on with fiat money. I haven't noticed BTC fluctuate much in accordance with international currency markets.

I think a better indicator of where BTC will be is found looking at the various goods and services that use BTC. For example, if a popular game that uses BTC as currency pops up, the price will skyrocket. I don't think you would see the same effect with changes in the currency market.

That being said, I think it will steadily rise no matter what. Want to see it skyrocket? Support Bitcoin Services!

+1 for sure.

Laws of supply and demand say it will double in the near future after the block reward split.

TONS of people will stop mining. I will buy all their rigs and wait it out
