In this guide, we will voice our own and market’s opinion on BTT future while discussing Bittorrent price forecast for 2020 and beyond.
Please bear in mind that you should take this and any other prediction with a grain of salt since predicting anything is a thankless task, let alone predicting the future of a novel, highly volatile financial asset like BTT.
Now, let’s head into it.
Before we delve deep into the Bittorrent price prediction and answer questions if Bittorrent is a good investment or not, why will BTT succeed or fail or why will BTT price rise or drop, let’s quickly throw a glance at what is Bittorrent and its to date history.
You can buy and trade on many exchanges including the leading platforms like Cex.io, Coinbase and Binance.
Bittorrent IntroIt’s been a while since we saw a token possess the market in a way BTT did. The hype created by Justin Sun, BitTorrent and Binance putting their names behind the project ultimately led to the thing’s entire ICO selling out in just 15 minutes (earning $7.2 million in the process).
BTT token is envisioned (and now already realized) as your average TRC-10 token, a TRON-based standard which allows BitTorrent users to offer their services in exchange for said tokens.
This standard is “lower” than the TRC-20, which has built-in smart contract capabilities. The token has a total supply of 990,000,000,000 units which will be divisible into smaller increments for additional liquidity (although one wonders how much more liquidity you need when you have almost a trillion tokens).
BTT’s main purpose is to incentivize BitTorrent protocol users to offer infrastructure services like file seeding and hosting in return for the token.

General Market Movements and Sentiment ShiftThe downfall of altcoins that were mainstream media darlings at the start of the year, BTT among them, can be attributed, in part, to novice investors getting scared off once the bear market kicked in with a vengeance. Every resurgence of bitcoin in recent period, was met with the, for the most part, inability of altcoins to rally with it.
Reason for that can be rookie investors learning from their mistakes, while smart money that was previously watching from the sidelines has begun to enter into bitcoin.
These entities weren’t about to buy BTC when it was trading at an all-time high, but they’ll take a look now, having missed the boat the first time around. None of them, it seems, are interested in altcoins however, despite the fact that many are trading at a 5x discount. Institutional investors may be cautious, but they’re not foolish.
Some altcoins will continue to have some speculative value for the foreseeable future. But just like the now infamous tulips, the hysteria will eventually subside. We are already witnessing the first phases of that slide and even though most of the bag holders react emotionally to articles that criticize their coins, I am just observing the developments on the market. You better start emotionally detaching yourself from your “great sounding” coin because if goes nowhere, ideas are worthless without execution and real users that see value in the project.
2018 was a very interesting year overall for the broader DLT community, “ICO projects” came and burst in a similar fashion to the firework that painted the evening sky tonight.
While the mass death of barely-alive-in-the-first-place projects causes some uncertainty and skepticism among the newcomers, it is something veterans and pioneers of this space have been longing for.
In order for DLT to become established, we need quality over quantity, we need convergence on standards and consolidation of communities to bring to life what we’ve been working on for years. With less noise, 2020 will act as a Darwinian selection mechanism, much like that of which the IT companies post-dotCom Bubble experienced.
This is a good thing and absolutely necessary for the real maturation of the space.
Our BTT Token Price Prediction for 2021BTT, as the rest of the market, is tied at the hip of bitcoin’s price action. If bitcoin embarks on another bull run, BTT can hope for one as well. Bitcoin usually has a cool-off phase after its mega bull runs and that is when the altcoins take over and have a field day with the bulls, often doubling or tripling their price within days.
With the pandemic breakout, the world was sent into hybernation for a couple of months and it reflected negatively on the cryptocurrencies, sending bitcoin downhill as we witnessed even 40% daily losses. However, situation quickly stabilized and bitcoin as the flagbearer took the crypto market back up. We are in a major bull run since the summer and, if we are listening to the analytics from social media and journalistic desks, we are far away from its local zenith.
What this means for Bittorrent price in 2021?
As long as bitcoin is in the main role and pulling upwards, there is little room for BTT to shine. It will, however, increase its USD denominated value thanks to the overall rise in crypto prices. Nevertheless, BTT to BTC ratio will probably slump, possibly to all-time lows. This means that it is best to keep your funds in bitcoin until it reaches its provisional peak, opening the doors for the altcoins to enter the scene. Bittorrent will be among the top candidates to record big gains, as the money usually flows from bitcoin profits to bluechip altcoins and big cap coins before trickling down to the less known and smaller projects. However, we still emphasize that BTT is not a good long-term investment.
What could be the next altcoin to explode in price and be “the next bitcoin”
Bittorrent Coin (BTT) Future OutlookVitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum said:
“There are some good ideas, there are a lot of very bad ideas, and there are a lot of very, very bad ideas, and quite a few scams as well”
As a result, over 95% of successful ICOs and cryptocurrency projects will fail and their investors will lose money. The other 5% of projects will become the new Apple, Google or Alibaba in the cryptoindustry. Will BTT be among those 5%?
Highly doubtful.
BTT token creators hope that the promise of financial rewards will make more people seed the torrents they download.
The whole investment thesis for BTT is unconvincing. Most people who download torrents do so through publicly available swarms. These people simply don’t have to care about their upload/download ratios and therefore don’t have an incentive to seed more.
Additionally, TRON’s blockchain simply wouldn’t be able to handle the levels of throughput that come with a user base that BitTorrent has, around 100 million users.
Moreover, the torrenting scene, the one community that should be buzzing about this project, doesn’t seem to be interested in BTT at all. Torrenting forums make barely any mentions of the project and most experienced members of these communities will tell you that they love the Bittorent protocol, but at the same time despise the company behind it (due to a history of misguided and almost malicious behavior).
The interest for the most part seems to be coming from the cryptocurrency world, which suggests that there aren’t many fundamentals for BTT to lean on.
Most people who are promoting this token are closely tied to the cryptocurrency scene and are considered as “influencers” more than anything else.
That being said, we have to consider the involvement of Justin Sun and Changpeng Zhao (of Binance fame) in this entire project.
Both of them are known in the blockchain community for taking part in some highly sketchy activities that likely robbed many crypto investors off their money. Sun in particular is someone who falls under the “influencer” tag much better than the one of a “developer” and this is a stick people often use to beat him with. The way both of them hyped the BTT token up without addressing the negatives it clearly has doesn’t give us belief that their latest project won’t end up as a failure.
Mining is still profitable if you know what altcoins to mine.
All of this summed up means one thing: BTT might live through couple of orchestrated and, for a regular trader, completely unpredictable pumps but the majority of time will be murky sideways trading with small volume and no significant interest from the market.
Price will heavily depend on what BTC will do and since many analysts think BTC will not be making big moves in this year, it is hard to expect BTT will do them either. The price will probably stagnate and record slow-moving depreciation or appreciation depending on the team activity, potential technological breakthrough or high-level partnership.
With the market being completely unpredictable, forecasting the cryptocurrency price is really more of a gamble and luck rather than a data driven guesstimate.
Let’s throw a glance at the eminent publications and personalities, and their predictions regarding the BTT price, which will give us another point of view to consider:
Wallet InvestorWalletinvestor is a popular website that does technical analysis-based price predictions of various cryptocurrencies and traditionally has a skeptical outlook for most coins. According to them, BTT is expected to practically disappear by dropping couple of orders of magnitude and reach $0.000015 per token in one year.
Trading BeastsTrading beasts is moderately bullish on Bittorrent token and forecasts that BTT can climb only a shred higher to the current value to $0.0003 within a year.
DigitalCoinPriceDigitalcoinprice gave a moderately pessimistic prediction saying that by 2020 end, BTT might be worth two times less than now – around $0.00015 per token.
