That's the latest short term price target for Bitcoin given by Max Keiser.
Bitcoin hasn't done much since it hit an all time high right around $3,000 per coin, well other than experience a 30% decline.
Since that time Bitcoin has steadied and appears to be making a run back towards those highs.
Part of that decline has to do with fear over what might happen with the fork scheduled to take place August 1st. Although a low probability, there is some fear that a split chain could be created with the fork.
Even so, over the past month, Bitcoin is still up roughly 21%
What is taking Bitcoin to $5,000 USD?
Well several things likely, and I have touched on a few of those reasons in some of my recent posts.
However, for this post we will stick to just a couple of main reasons why Bitcoin is going to hit $5,000 in short order.
Wider Adoption.
I have touched on increased use cases several times in my posts over the past month:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@jrcornel/bitcoin-getting-close-to-mass-adoption-in-japan
And it appears we are seeing yet another one...
Capsule Hotel, located in Japan, has begun to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. The hotel is the largest budget hotel chain in Japan and is very popular with freelancers and travelers.
This integration of Bitcoin comes just months after Peach, Japan's largest budget airline, stated that they would start accepting Bitcoin has a form of payment.
Bic Camera, AirREGI, and Comics and Capsule Hotel Comicap have also stated recently that they would accept Bitcoin.
http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/japan/kyoto/275532/
Kagayaki Kawabata of Coincheck had this to say regarding the integration of Bitcoin:
"Starting Friday June 16, guests (of Comics and Capsule Hotel) can pay with Bitcoin for hotel bookings at the facility in Kyoto Shin-Kyogoku. Bitcoin payments will be facilitated by Coincheck. They have decided to use Coincheck Payment experimentally for capsule hotels. (In the future) They may expand the Bitcoin payments to other services as well."
Adoption of Bitcoin, and to a lesser extent other virtual currencies, is exploding right now in Japan and South Korea. China is seeing strong adoption as well.
It is only a matter of time before that adoption spreads to other parts of the world.
More widespread media attention.
Never before in Bitcoin's history has it received more coverage by mainstream media outlets than it is currently getting.
You can't turn on CNBC for more than a couple hours without hearing Bitcoin, or some other virtual currency mentioned.
And that is just in the United States where there currently isn't much use case for Bitcoin as a currency.
Bitcoin was recently on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, not the second page, but the front page!
The technicals.
The price of Bitcoin has struggled (I guess) ever since it reached it's all time high around $3,000 USD per coin. However, if you go back and look at recent trading history you will see that Bitcoin has a tendency of experiencing these corrections after making new all time highs, only to gather steam once again and power past that high.
According to Mark Keiser we will likely see that trend continue until Bitcoin eventually gets near $100,000 per coin.
Possibly mimicking a chart something along the lines of this over different time periods:
Is $100,000 really possible?
Sure it is, in the realm of "anything is possible".
However, is it likely?
Not sure how likely it is, but his short term target of $5,000 to $10,000 seems very possible. Especially when you just look at recent trading activity.
In the last 12 months, Bitcoin rose from roughly $650 to $2500. That represents a return of 4X. From current prices a return of 4X would take us right to that $10,000 level.
I am seeing a lot of reasons that support Keiser's claim of $5,000 to $10,000 at some point in the near future. Here's to hoping he is right.
Stay informed my friends!

you are a little wrong. 2016 blocks is about 2 weeks. So by August 14 we will only have SegWit locked in and then we will need 2 more weeks to actually activate the SegWit. So starting August 28-29 you will be able to sent the SegWit transactions.

I kind of dig the approach of BItcoin either becoming a zero or $1M+ It makes no sense to think of an 'in-between' scenario as this field is probably governed by 'winner takes it all' rules (take Facebook as an example in the social media scene). If that's the angle (winner takes it all), most people are much too modest in their price projections.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Winner take all is a bad scenario for Bitcoin. A sister currency like Litecoin is good for both currencies as it drives innovation via competition for all parties involved. Without litecoin how long would it be until Bitcoin decided to implement segwit? It would probably have taken a little longer...

Historically competing currencies have not cancelled each other out, except in the recent history when competing currencies are banned in favor of government issued fiat. That's not to say I don't think Bitcoin could hit $1M.

I think its history of weathering major upsets and recovering again is the reason why people have gained confidence in Bitcoin. The scale-ability storm is just another test. The way that the community handles it is a demonstration itself of the power of bitcoin. Even with all that democracy and the size Bitcoin has grown too, we reasonably expect the issue to be resolved in the next few months.

Is there any reason to buy Bitcoin other than to trade it for the cryptocurrency you actually want? No, and ETH and LTC are easy entry points as well.
It has none of the things needed to become a mainstream currency and is showing a startling lack of ability to implement such changes. Its development team has shown a shocking lack of foresight into the economics and required duties of a currency. Bitcoin is playing catch-up and trading solely on its brand name, not it's actual capabilities, and has been hemorrhaging market dominance because of it.

It seems likely that BTC will continue its upward march... there's a finite supply coming face to face with increasing public awareness and interest... we're only at the very tip of anything that even vaguely resembles mass adoption. That's the upside.
The question mark for me is the technology... is Bitcoin going to start looking "old fashioned and slow" in comparison to some of the alt coins... even some of the alt coins that may not even have been invented yet? For example, my wife and I have a small art gallery, and we'd love to "help the cause" by accepting BTC as a form of payment... yet the functional implementation of that has issues... confirmation times... vs. taking the risk of these so-called "zero confirm" transactions now being touted.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Zero confirmation and/or zero fees and maximum scaling chains still have to proof themselves for robustness and safety. Until then, Bitcoin can retain its supreme position.

There are many very positive quotes. I think all of them are legitimate. However the transaction speed and fees have increased in a inconvenient fashion which is a negative factor indeed don' you agree? Many people see it maybe too rosy at the moment I believe. I hope I am not right but there could be a major crisis in BTC in front of us. Take also the centralisation of mining which is endangering somehow the independence of the BTC-blockchain on top there might come an attempt of attack from SEC and of FED which at least temporarily impact the demand for BTC for phychological reasons at least from a US point of view. Imagine some of the exchanges get shut down by governments or get tightly regulated on AML and KYC. I just wanted to post some of the concerns I see but believe me I am heavily in crypto for my circumstances and do not hope any of these things will happen. But still I try to get only my foot into the story and not the whole leg. As alternatives I suggest to hold some gold and silver that seems to be old fashioned but its nice to look at - at least. ;-) sorry for this nex time I join the enthusiastic fraction...

I guess if China and other countries keep blaming crypto currencies for drug dealing increase and then try to restrict it, it will continue to become more popular and rise in price.
But, over saturation of people mining the currency might reduce the price. I wouldn't put $5k at the target level just yet. A quick rise can also mean a very quick fall.

really enjoyed the chart, back in the day when poloniex had a troll/chat box it was funny to here newbies say BTC is dead and dying when it would drop to $2000 usd when it came from $1000 usd just months before that. The comments will be the same all to way to $100k

I agree, all these people hating on Crypto will soon be quietly kicking themselves while all of us enjoy the returns:) And they will be the ones finally buying in once its at 5k! lmao

what do you think about this: if Bitcoin if it goes to 5k or 10k or 50k or even higher, what would be the purchasing power of it? I hope this doesn't end up like weimar germany hyperinflation but for the purchasing power

@jrcornel. Phew!!!!. That was quite an analysis. Japan and Korea perhaps are seeing an explosion in increased acceptance of Bitcoin. But India is a different ball game altogether. The only restaurant in India that put up a board, accepting Bitcoin has not yet rec'd a single Bitcoin transaction in the last one year. Some countries adopt fast, lot many are resistant to change and averse to adopt a new technology or currency if you might call it.
So all the push should be coming from these countries that are fine with digital currency. Well I will be happy to see Bitcoin scale to $5K Asap.. let's wait and see

Does someone have from-the-ground information on how adoption mobile internet is faring in India? Cryptocurrencies could take of massively in countries where the banking system is not very well developed but mobile internet is reaching maturity.

It could even go higher because Segwit soon will be deployed on the BTC blockchain. Who knows how high this could push the price - I'm definitely going to buy some Bitcoins today. #BTCtothemoon #segwit2x

The crypto market is stabilizing now after a few hot weeks with sustained rises. It is most logical that it needs time to re-base, to consolidate.
In my opinion, a new rally will come soon and the most important thing that wil happen would be this one: Ethereum overtaking Bitcoin as marketcap. This one will be big and will get lots of media coverage.
Stay tuned and buy ETH!

I'm sure everyone is hoping for massive gains for most cryptos but I think we are due for a correction before another big pump. I could be completely wrong though ;) We do have the inevitable flippening coming up as well as UASF in August... interesting times to be in this space that's for sure!!

Why stop at 5000? I think Bitcoin will be traded at a much higher price than just 5000.

In Mexico the bitcoin is at $49,800 Mexican Pesos. If it goes to USD$5,000, believe me, a lot of people in my country would rapidly changing their bitcoins into Mexican Pesos, taking advantage of the price.

Well I guess within few days there's a high probability of crashing bitcoin again to $2200 then it would have a chance to rise again crossing $3000 mark.
Bitcoin has been highly volatile since few months, the price rise of bitcoin is only the result of speculators and not it's real potential. And everyone knows very well what speculation does in a short term. So as a crypto trader, I would suggest not to buy bitcoin for at least few days.

A couple months back when price was swinging from like $800 to $1200 and back to $800 , which I believe back then there was a lot of concern over a fork i made the stupid decision to sell off a good majority of my holdings.
Small part because of fork but moreso I just was greedy and thought I could have been making a killing with this volatility and sold at like $100 and was planning on buying back in a day or two later when it woudl inevidably tank back to $800 or $900.
Well it never came back down it climbed and climbed and climbed some more to $3,000.
What was really frustrating about this was my longterm plan was to hold for the long term and continue to accumulate. I let my business partner, who doesn't even own BTC by the way, get in my head saying I could be making money off the volatility.
Needless to say moving forward I won't listen to others and won't let potential forks shake me.
