Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 19, 2018 One bitcoin bull says the cryptocurrency could hit $125,000 in five years. Is this really possible or is it the usual bull talk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS January 20, 2018 Anything's possible, but this is a highly erratic market--extreme volatility. We've seen that just this past week (among others). Right now it's way too hard to call given the volatility. The uncertain regulatory environment hit them hard this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seleskya + 50 AS January 20, 2018 And the collapse of BitConnect put a bit of a damper on the market this week, too. For those unaware, BitConnect was a crypto exchange that was operated anonymously and accused of running a Ponzi scheme using its BCC currency. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlsbad + 19 CB January 20, 2018 Fear of trading ban in South Korea caused the biggest crash this week. Crypto market capitalizations lost $200 billion largely over this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS January 20, 2018 Yeah, saw that Bitcoin hit lowest since November in mid-week, down to $9,400, but then recovered a bit to over $11,0000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seleskya + 50 AS January 20, 2018 $125,000 I guess is possible, though not terribly likely in this atmosphere. If it reached that, it wouldn't maintain it. But given that it's so volatile, I expect massive price swings for some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 22, 2018 I have absolutely no idea what Bitcoin is or how it works, all I want to know is can you buy kitchen cabinet and microwave with it:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 22, 2018 Virtual world is an invincible. BTC is at the same level it was 6 weeks ago - and is still up 1140% . It could go down 90%, and still most people who’ve been calling bubble in the past 4y would be wrong.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 22, 2018 Something new - Banking group Nordea bans bitcoin trading! As I know - banks can't ban Bitcoin trading. Trading takes place on different exchanges. If banks allow money to reach exchanges, money can be used to trade bitcoin or any other coin or token. I don't understand their decision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seleskya + 50 AS January 22, 2018 South Korea is now going to hit cryptocurrency exchanges with massive back taxes for last year ... that's going to hurt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 23, 2018 Yes, Nordea is smart. 18 hours ago, Pavel said: I have absolutely no idea what Bitcoin is or how it works, all I want to know is can you buy kitchen cabinet and microwave with it:) That's what I'd like to know too. So far I've heard that some organizations accept donations in bitcoin and I heard it here. But, can I buy a car with a couple bitcoins? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 23, 2018 See it's now down below $10,000... but talk about volatility and how it can be manipulated: This expose claims that a single person managed to cause bitcoin to from $150 to $1000 ... https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/one-person-caused-bitcoin-to-spike-from-150-to-1000-in-2013.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS January 31, 2018 South Korea says it's not going to ban crypto exchanges, but it has uncovered $600 million in 'illegal' trades so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlsbad + 19 CB January 31, 2018 I don't see Bitcoin hitting 125,000 because many think that Bitcoin is just the 'gateway drug' to other cryptocurrencies. It's a new but already over-used cliche, but it does makes sense in this case. Sort of like the 'AOL' of email perhaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTom + 183 February 2, 2018 Well, it looks like bitcoin is completely crashing right now... hitting the $8000 briefly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 3, 2018 Everything is totally overheated in stocks, and unlike crypto there is no realistic large upside, especially considering its primarily tech stocks pushing those gains. When stock market goes sideways or falls, I guarantee a lot of that money is going to go looking to crypto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP February 3, 2018 I can't see Bitcoin reaching $125,000, at least not in this year. I think $50,000 is a real possibility for Bitcoin in 2018, but this is going to require some re-allocation from stocks to Bitcoin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlsbad + 19 CB February 3, 2018 This whole crypto thing is just getting started, but the problem now is that there is no way to measure the real value of a cryptocurrency. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
