It was a rough year for crypto investors, with the price of Bitcoin dropping 73% from Jan. 1, 2018 to Nov. 27, 2018. But just like with any bear market, we could see BTC prices rebound in the next year.
That's why we had to make sure you saw the latest Bitcoin price predictions for 2019.
The lowest price target on Finder.com for Bitcoin in 2019 is $7,000. From today's (Nov. 27) price of $3,748.90, that's a potential gain of 86.72%.
Not too bad.
However, there's one BTC price prediction for 2019 that is so bold, you won't believe it until you see it.
We're going to get to that in just a minute.
But first, we're going to answer some of the most common questions we've received about Bitcoin heading into 2019…
Why Did Bitcoin Prices Drop in 2018?
As we mentioned earlier, the cryptocurrency market is bearish right now.
Bitcoin prices have dropped right along with Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and XRP.
One of the reasons for the bearish sentiment is Bitcoin ETFs were rejected by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Crypto investors were hoping an ETF would lure new money into the market, according to Money Morning Cryptocurrency Expert David Zeiler.
“A Bitcoin ETF would help bridge the gap by allowing these large investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without the hassle of owning it outright. At the same time, it will open the door to a class of investors whose presence will help fortify and stabilize the Bitcoin markets,” Zeiler said on Sept. 17, 2018.
But the SEC isn't ready for a Bitcoin ETF, which means crypto investors still have to wait for retail money to hit the market.
Also, high-profile hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges in 2018 have undoubtedly made investors nervous about using and storing crypto.
As of July 4, 2018, $731 million worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen from crypto exchanges in the first half of 2018, according to CCN.com.
The Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Zaif was hacked on Sept. 19, 2018, and $59 million worth of crypto was stolen.
Finally, the run-up of crypto prices in 2018 was so astounding that the market needed a cooldown.
BTC prices traded for $963.66 on Jan. 1, 2017, and climbed 1,364% to $14,112.20 by Jan. 1, 2018.
Early crypto adopters cashed out their profits and became millionaires.
But now that prices have come back to earth, we're getting a lot of questions about whether Bitcoin is still a good investment in 2019…
Should I Buy Bitcoin in 2019?
There are two reasons to buy Bitcoin right now.
The first is, if you believe cryptocurrencies and tokens are the future, you can buy some and spread the adoption of crypto.
By owning and using Bitcoin, you can help make its widespread adoption a reality. This is a list of vendors that accept BTC as payment to get you started.
The second is to invest in the currency in the hopes of making a profit.
Right now, all investments in cryptocurrencies should be considered speculative.
You should never invest what you can't afford to lose.
If you just want to be an investor and speculate on the price of Bitcoin in 2019, you can open an account on Coinbase.
And if you want to know if now's the right time to buy, let's jump right in and look where analysts see prices heading in the next year…
