    Who knows but if you think it’s in that direction it’s probably better just to buy BTC now and not be crying if it’s 9,999 on New Years

    But if it does got to 10K, +200 is better payout than going from 7K to 10K.

    LT that’s where IF comes in. Rather be up roughly 3k a coin if it doesn’t hit 10k before January. What are the limits on this anyways? Let’s just do both

    I do think it'll reach 10k but not before the year is out.

    I got an email saying (I think) the FORK is on (partially)?

    Is anyone moving BTC today without impediments?

    BTW, 10k would be huge!

    I voted yes but I also think it will crash shortly thereafter. Bitcoin is no longer viable as a medium of exchange and there are countless other cryptos that serve that purpose much better than Bitcoin (Dash is my favorite). Some think that Bitcoin will become a "store of value" like gold, but I don't see how that's possible. If Bitcoin is no longer useful as a currency, what real value does it actually have? None.

    It appears Bitcoin Core see it as an investment vehicle mainly.

    If that doesnt change and they dont put more effort into usability I agre that it could be vulnerable.

    I think that will help with ordinary man acceptance. For the late adopter types.

    But in reality if a consumer can have a card that is compatible Dollars, Euros, Yen, Bitcoin, Ether etc all at once, retailers have no need to accept Bitcoin directly.

    Someone will produce this type of card very soon. One that uses exchange rates to the end users advantage to fund and pay for goods in whatever is the best way for them is at that moment. Automatically.


    And we also already have regular bitcoin loadable cards that can be used anywhere.

    I've traded stocks and options for years, Bitcoin is a momentum trade like buying stock in previous years in companies like Chipotle and Priceline. The difference with bitcoin is that its not going to be the only major digital currency forever. There are many other digital currencies, but bitcoin is the king by far. I think bitcoin will top out when you see one or more digital currencies begin to compete with it, but who knows when that will occur. Very few major sportsbooks allow deposits or withdrawals in digital currencies other than bitcoin.

    I think the biggest negative for bitcoin is their really aren't any significant barriers to entry in the digital currency market. If a major company like Chase or Citigroup wanted to develop their own digital currency they could do it in months, not years. If bitcoin does reach 10k than a group of private equity investors will just put up 30-40 million and develop their own digital currency with MIT graduates and other individuals ensuring safe keeping.

    But you're missing the huge drawing card for BTC. You say a company like Chase could just create their own - true. However the decentralized nature of BTC is exactly why so many are so fanatical about it.

    Big companies want nothing to do with bitcoin because it is a currency that is used for mostly illegal activity. Most people dont want to be associated with it for that one reason.

    Well apart from Virgin, Steam, Microsoft, JC Penny, Amazon, Dish, Gap etc etc etc etc etc

    What a load of rubbish. All the big businesses have been taking cash for years despite its widespread use for illegal activities and ease of theft.

    Corporations in general give zero thought to that aspect.

    You just gave up on it after one problem and have been projecting your self anger at the tech ever since. You were wrong, deal with it sometime Mike!

    Big companies can always lobby to change the laws if they start losing money because of bitcoin, but private equity, pools of capital, could put up big money and develop and competing currency that has the same appeal as bitcoin. There are not significant barriers to entry for competitors. Most sportsbooks only take bitcoin right now - in a year or so bitcoin won't have what is essentially a monopoly.

    I don't agree with you that bitcoin is primarily used for illegal purposes, of course gamblers in countries like the US use bitcoin,but bitcoin is used for all kinds of transactions, I think illegal activity is significantly less than 50% of the use of the currency.
