It might be too long, I apologize. This is what my worked on recently, because I was curious just like you what experts are saying:
John McAfee, famed for his role in creating the world’s first commercial antivirus software Predicts:

For you who are long term investors like myself: (those who allways make the most returns), BITCOIN is still the crypto giant. It is at a low price, and will never be cheaper. It will be ten times this price in 2018. Remember - it has the lowest circulating supply of any coin.

Mike Novogratz, a billionaire that’s put 30 percent of his worth into cryptocurrency predicts:

“It wouldn’t be crazy if the crypto bubble hit $10 trillion, and that’s 20 times more than what it is today.”

Thomas Lee Co-founder and Fundstat strategist predicts:

”We expect Bitcoin's major low to be $9,000, and we would be aggressive buyers around that level. We view this $9,000 as the biggest buying opportunity in 2018." He also added a reversal of Boockvar’s opinion forecasting that Ethereum and Ethereum Classic would see about 90 percent growth by the end of the year.

Jeet Singh predicts:

"Bitcoin could definitely see $50,000 in 2018." However, we will probably go through a suffering period of volatility" around the time of Bitcoin’s next $10,000 landmark.”

Blockchain Capital partner Spencer Bogart predicts

that bitcoin’s price could rise to levels of up to $50,000 in 2018, over double its highest price in 2017. He said: “I can’t tell you exactly what’s going to happen with price and neither can anybody. “But when I look out over the next 12 months, what I see is a significant supply and demand imbalance at the current price levels.

Imran Wasim, a financial analyst at AMSYS Group predicts:

cryptocurrency will become “more mainstream” in 2018. He added: “It has dropped in price, this is good. “A lot more money is going to come into bitcoin, bitcoin will go up around $30,000-$35,000 this year – next couple of years? $100,000.”

CEO of Shopin Eran Eyal Predicts:

“I have no doubt that bitcoin is going to reach well-beyond $100,000. Have a look at how it has climbed over the past.

Bobby Lee, CEO of China’s first bitcoin exchange BTCC, predicts:

an even bigger future for the cryptocurrency, saying bitcoin’s price could hit above $1 million dollars in the next 20 years.

And it's not like these people aren't extremely bright and well informed.

And I don't think they're shilling either.

They really believe what they are saying, and are putting their money where their mouth is!

👋👋👋

Yeah, John McAfee also talked about something food related (sort of) in combination with certain body part when making his call on Bitcoin target, but let's not go there ;-)))))

This prediction, if that happens, almost every steemien becomes rich. I hope Steem gets to a 100 at least. But $2,000.00 in 2019 and $20,000.00 by 2022? That’s called an optimism. Let’s hope it’s right.

It's so unbelievable that it's almost unbelievable.

lol nicely said. I just heard that acccording to Weiss, the big move up that we have been seeing in Steem and other cryptocurencies is primarily driven by big-foot institutional investors tiptoeing into crypto. Institutional investors are mostly long therm investors and usually they invest when they think it’s cheap anough. I definitely thought steem at $1.70 and bitcoin below 7k was cheap. That was the reason I bought some cryptos at that time. I’m sure that these kind of bear markets are healthy. It allows the big companies to get in at the best time possible.

That sounds like a very plausible explanation that jives with just about everything we're hearing from just about everywhere there's knowledge regarding the subject. Price action is also technical and subdued, and that's another indication that professionals are active in the markets.

👋👍🏼😎

Seriously man can that really happen. Looks absolutely impossible for ne

It will be the underlying technology of most industries.

It will take perhaps decades to adopt, but once we get there, blockchain will be everything.

Think about your typical corporate organisation now, it’s just a database, that’s what it boils down to.

The blockchain is a database which is immutable and can be audited.

And it that is the future, then those predictions are very realistic!

@cryptographic,
Personally I don't believe STEEM will reach $2,000 in the end of the year! But there is a possibility to reach atleast $50 in the end of 2018! Becoz, STEEM total market supply is little bit higher than BitCoin! Yeah the speed of create new blocks make this happens!
Anyway due to high market supply I think STEEM will reach $200 - $1000 price range in end of 2020!
I heard STEEM got a competitor but it's a poor competition! So, the future is great with this currency and with BTS!
I am thinking to invest more on EOS too! Would like to hear your opinion about it!
A useful discussion and valuable references you added with this article!

Cheers~

Damn @cryptographic.

And I thought I was optimistic on STEEM and BTS. You make me look like someone who is a tad conservative.

Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at the proportional pricing for STEEM compared to the estimates these Bitcoiners put out?

If BTC hits $25K by the end of the year, that is basically a triple...wouldnt that make STEEM $9?

I obviously prefer your $200 mark, just not sure where that came from.

As for this year, we really need to see three things from STEEM developers:

A) Automated sign up process
B)Hivemind
C)SMTs

If these three come by the end of August, we might see a radical run in the 4th quarter of the year.

STEEM total supply divided by BTC total supply results in a 12.9 to 1 ratio, meaning that STEEM should be worth 7.76% of BTC, or $1,940.00, all other things being equal.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/

The thing is not all other things are equal. STEEM is much better!

Hi @taskmaster ! Yes @cryptographic sounds very optimistic, as you and I! The reason he enters those numbers is because of his past posts a couple of months ago when he was comparing the value of steem, bts, cardano and others compared to bitcoin, and how should they be worth if they had the BTC marketcap. That is what I understood!

Regards, @gold84

More basic still: equal value for each outstanding "token" (total supply).

If your product is just as good, or even better, theoretically it should be worth the same, on a ratio adjusted basis. If you have a total supply that is 12.9 times that of what you are comparing with, then your fair value should by 12.9 time less. With BTC currently at $8,700, STEEM should really be worth around $675.00 right now!

Exactly, thats exactly how I understood your thoughts!
Regards, @gold84

Steem with all its bets(specialy SMT and APPICS) coming into fruition is a $250 bet for me . ADA is long way from being a real threat to top 5 in terms of adoption/usage,but without any doubt has the potential . Speculative hype can take ADA to $5 max in my opinion.

RE BTC , its kinda conservative to think the revisit of 20k by 2018 . My calculation (with consideration of LN, ETF) is 40k by 2018 . Institutional custody service may be a reality in 12 months . In that case we will see another massive upside which can eventually rally btc upto next halving (2020). Hence i think Tim Draper will be spot on . MY bet is with Tim .

I agree with you that ADA is the most conservative candidate, that is to say, with the least theoretical appreciation potential, but it's also one that could beat everyone's expectations. I think there's a real possibility that ADA could see mass adoption "overnight" and become a legitimate standard setter.

Let it wonder us.

Although I mostly agree with your posts but this one blew my mind! While I am wildly optimistic on the assets you mention, some of those price targets will imply trillions of dollars in Crypto market cap. If they hold their current market shares, the market cap for the whole market would exceed that of gold whoch is currently around $6 trillion. However, if these prices do happen, I imagine it would be due to the fall of the dollar from inflation and the demand of blockchain technology. That would probably bring gold prices higher too. I would hope this comes true as well!

Imagine crypto becoming 10-15% or world broad money supply. Put in those terms it sounds like a modest assumption. What's a bit more speculative is suggesting that crypto will dwindle to only 10 or so major players. But if those two factors came together, we'd have the trillions you are referring to.

Yes, this time crypto world has different feeling to it, ('bout time) :-)

First, charts are slowly showing signs of a bottoming up with up ticks generally on higher volume than down ticks, which is always a good sign.

And then there is this, 2-3 days ago I have read that George Soros is entering crypto world. That was jaw dropping news for me. While I don't like the guy, he is trying to reshape the whole world, he has a history to position himself on the (financial) winning sides. And if he is interested, you can bet some other Billionaires will start taking a note also. Which is funny, if I would be Billionaire and in nineties, I could care less... ;-)

Of the cryptos you mentioned, I would also keep an eye on EOS. Well graphene group in general, BTS, STEEM, EOS.

The total market capitalization excluding Bitcoin has almost doubled off of lows on what looks like an inverse head and shoulder intermediate term trend reversal. That's the entire alt market cap. There's money flow coming into crypto right now.

https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/

After reading the articles I convinced myself a little more that it could be possible, this guys know what they are talking about, it's not only faith. $ 250000 is a large number, but bitcoin has grown exponentially since its beginning, certainly as it grows its percentage of growth will tend to decrease.

If humanity continues its modernization, more people learn about blockchain and governments do not try to sabotage, I think those predictions could be made real, but there is still some time left. I am also happy to have entered this world for this moment, maybe in 2022 we'll celebrate it.

I think we'll be celebrating for a long time . . . as long as we keep our wits about us and continue being the same people we were before.

I think you're right and that these people know what they're talking about and they don't take predictions lightly either.

It's the law of supply and demand. There will never be more than 21 million BTC and how many people will want to buy it?

You are right, the blockchain technology is revolutionary and universal, the use of the blockchain is only at the very beginning and every year the application of the blockchain will expand and the STEEM will be very much in demand! Your forecast of the STEEM price is very optimistic and it will be great if by the end of the year we see these figures. But analyzing the general trend of the crypto currency and their volatility in the market, I think that the price of STEEM by the end of the year will be 15 - 20 dollars. The reason is simple, now the price of the STEEM and almost for all crypto currency, will depend on the direct from the price of Bitcoin and how it behaves, and the common market will be formed. Of course Bitcoin's technology is not promising for a little, but until Bitcoin in the trend and much will depend on it. Thank you @cryptographic

Great post @cryptographic ! I got your point in that Steem at $2,000 proportionally if it had the marketcap of Bitcoin correct? Per your analysis a few months ago.

The market is in bull signal I believe, so its great to hear this messages from different known people and groups of companies.

I am also very optimistic and believe steem and bts will start rising more and more in the next couple of months, and will grow more than BTC in ratio.

Regards, @gold84

Nice way to put it. If STEEM had the market cap of BTC, at today's prices, with BTC at $8,800.00, STEEM would be worth around $682.00.

And why shouldn't it? Isn't is just as good, or even better?

Thanks for the executive summary!

100% agree on this @cryptographic !

By the way, yesterday I made the first post of the new series about the activity examples that apply for @steem-ambassador guild upvote rewards.

Post 1 of 12 of the Series - Going to a University and Schools to present Steem and Steemit to Students - Earn Rewards on Steemit even if you just Signed Up Today

Looking forward to your feedback!

Bitcoin price may reach 20k or 200k but the question for me is, will it be able to maintain it? how can we justify the price of bitcoin when there are other crypto currencies out there that are more efficient at transfering and storing wealth?

For example, Steem? No transaction fees, 3 second transfer times and depending on how SMTs perform, we may even see Steem break 60% of all crypto currency transactions.

Sounds like we have a lot of HODLin' to do! We're still in the 1st inning!

I agree. We're only just getting started and there's a long way to go, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Hello Dear @Cryptographic
Bloomberg predicts $BTC will be between $20 and $80,000 in the future.

Yeah, my prediction is that the sun is either going to rise or set in the next 24 hours

$STEEM is getting a lot of attention lately as people finally wake up to the sheer scalability of the World's BIGGEST & FASTEST Blockchain. With lightening transactions nothing comes close to this Sleeping Giant. Getting ready to fire up the "Big Guns" 😍😍

Waiting for BitShares moon 😃

i believe in Cardano (ADA) Will hit and change the market...

Wow in just a single day lot can happen the FUD of positive from all over now the crypto boom starts :D

If STEEM will stand at $ 2000, I will jump with a parachute, despite my phobia to flights and altitude. Good luck to you and Love.

Если STEEM будет стоять 2000$, я прыгну с парашютом, несмотря на мою фобию к полетам и высоте. Удачи Вам и Любви.

Perhaps I'll join you!!! 😲

Steem is my current favorite, and also the reason why I started looking into cryptocurrencies.
The great thing about Steem is that anyone can earn Steem, as you don’t have to mine it using super GPUs or CPUs, that may cost thousands of dollars. I hope the crypto currency world never stop and the value of steem get over $200.00, that would be awesome. People will become more aware about crypto and all the currencies will flourish. Optimism is our best friend.

Yeah, it's really a novel idea to mine by "posting", and if you invest the equivalent that mining hardware would cost in STEEM and power up, it's even better. Thanks for pointing that out. There are some things that can never be said enough!

Mining any cryptocurrency requires some time before you can be profitable and it is the same for Steem.

The difference is that you do not have to invest in expensive equipment like you would need for Bitcoin or Ethereum, or rent hash power where it is even more difficult to be profitable. People renting hash power are usually profitable when they refer other people to the company and get a commission, and when the coins they mined have increased in price.

In the contrary, what you need to become a witness and mine Steem is to rent a server and set it up. The cost for a server can be from $40 to $120 a month and you can of course get started at the minimum, and then upgrade your server as you go.

The difficulty with mining Steem is that you have to get votes from the community in order to advance and be at the top with the highest payouts.

Blockchain is a really revolutionary technology, I believe this also. Steem as well as other crypto has a very promising future, but there is only one chance that the market will increase so much will be to drop the value of US dollar in order to be sustained by the actual global economy. At least so I think :D

But even in this case, I would be happy to see the market so high in this life, not to mention until 2022!

I think that on a relative basis, it's possible even without a major drop in the Dollar. I refer you to one of my first posts for more on that. ;-)

The Crypto Boom! Part 1: Keeping Perspective

I love your enthusiasm which I share as well...but, I think this year we can see really a fall of the BITCOIN kingdom.
Actually, have a look this week, in 7 days has lost almost 4% dominance:

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@toofasteddie/is-the-next-or-present-bull-cycle-the-end-of-bitcoin-kingdom

I think we are very close to see a disruptive change of places...ETHEREUM? I bet on EOS approaching within the three first.
Good times ahead!

Without a doubt we're going to see major disruption!

Wow! Have you seen how STEEM has lead the way on this upturn, and how it's bounced back into positive on today's correction? I see major strength in STEEM, and, to a lesser extent, SBD. EOS too, but I don't think it has the same long term appreciation potential as STEEM and SBD (but it's still good though).

hahahhaha! Yes! STEEM is great...but, to tell you the truth, now is time to invest on EOS, at least till the end of May. I'm just collecting some FIAT to buy some more.
Good times ahead!

I think reality is good people keep doing good steeming, it can hit $50 this year ....

I won't mind if that happens , I want to be a millionaire 😉
I believe in the potential of steem, though I was thinking that steem may get close to 100$ by the end of this year.
2000$ by the end of this year or 20000$ by the end of 2022 will be like a dream come true..
Steem to the moon 🌒

I have just found you here on Steemit and I am very new to the cryptocurrency world. I admit that I am not knowledgeable on this at all, but I am trying and I see that I can learn from you. Thanks for posting, it is really helping me. If those prices hit like that, it will be so awesome and the sky will be the limit.

Yes, true. I believe. the btc price will always go up. now there is news. buy world cup tickets can with btc. and as always. when the World Cup. people betting with BTC. I think that's what will make the BTC price higher.
()

Very high expectations we wish to really occur
Pitcuen is a very wonderful coin
Also a wonderful coin stem I hope to make a profit through them

Rise Bitcoin Bull, rise........

Nice one.

It will completely change the world if it already isn't.
Just imagine steem at 20000$ , blockchain technology is gonna rule the world.
If you're not on the crypto train, get on cause there's still time or you're gonna regret later on

How did you figure that BitShares would be $200? That seems like crazy sky high, 1000x return basically.

While i am reading your post it feels like i am watching the sweetest dream in my life. Hope this sweetest dream of mine & along with all @Stemians dreams would come true. They said at the end of the year Steem price will be $2000, OMG!! Is this really possible? If this happens i would donate 10% of Steem dollar to Charity.

Investment tycoon Tim Draper said earlier this week that he now sees Bitcoin as reaching $250,000 by 2022 & CNBC’s Brian Kelly also supports Tim Draper’s BTC Prediction, is it real or what !!? And Steem would be $20,000 by 2022. If this happens by any chance that would be my happiest moment ever.

It is possible that BTC will break $20,000 mark this year & Steem will definitely break its previous highest mark. But i would like to see, Steem passes the $100 mark by the end of this year. Then i can go out for a world Tour & see the world, meeting new people, eating different kinds of food & learning new culture.
Hope their prediction become true.

present world seem crypto content based,
such as bitcoin is the worthy coin,i appreciated,in future its worthy become raising with greatly turned. thanks a lot for
crypto based post.the post is great of high throughts,

now a days crypto play a great content that bitcoin is the king of crypto.i see a great future of crypto currency.
bitcoin now seem as gold.it increase the demand of bitcoin with time.really great post

Good job.
Nice post

Good post

Bitcoin will be the best crypto currency on earth because the price falls and rise alot

Appreciating your thought...@cryptographic. Its absolutely possible because of Steem ,BitShares, Cardano decentralized market characteristics..

Good news

My thoughts are...
BTC price up untill November (upto 35000$)>>>regulations inter into the market>>>BTC price down by December onward

Hold On For Dear Life.

we can just hope these predictions should turn true,but alot of credit goes to blockchain technology:
The Blockchain has captured the imagination of thousands of the smartest and most entrepreneurial minds in the world. It has created a multi-billion dollar industry that is now working together in building applications and services that will bring the benefits of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology into mainstream acceptance.

Seriously that will take crypto to the whole new level,and will make each one of us enough rich to get by lambos ...lol..
I am glad that i have been a part of this blockchain and am increasing my shares in crypto ...thanks to steem...

I don't think that much growth can be possible this year for steem i t can max upto $18/20

​Cryptocurrency is a new revolutionary type of currency. Like any other currency or unit of account, they only have value because people think it has value. Some currencies are backed by gold or other precious metals

The following features are the main driver of cryptocurrency price, but not limited to these.

*Limited Supply and supply/demand.
*Energy put in in the form of electricity to secure the blockchain.
*The utility of the currency, and how easy it is to use and store.
*Perceptions on its value by the public.
*Price of Bitcoin.
*Media.
*Investors.
*Market dilution.
*Innovation.
*Confidence in traditional systems.
*Legal/Governmental issues.

Oh course I'm in love with the idea that it will get that high (as I'm sure anybody using Steemit would,) but those seem way higher than I would have expected to ever see.... Not that I wouldn't gladly open my arms for that lol

If it ever happens I will be in Dubai spending my holidays ;)

That's pretty cool to know thanks for the tips by the way :)

In my 2 cent opinion the prediction is far from reality. I am happy if steem value reach at 200 $ at the end of year. Impossible is nothing so let's hope for the best. If the values of steem goes to 20,000 in my honest opinion it is enough for me to quit my job. All the best. @cryptographic

STEEM has a huge potentiel and a great use case , i imagine when steemit will be the first social media steem price will be in the moon!
