Title: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: SgtSpike on March 18, 2013, 11:29:49 PM Speculate away. :)
Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: gimme_bottles on March 18, 2013, 11:32:07 PM the only question: how long until this thread becomes obsolete?
Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on March 18, 2013, 11:33:33 PM Yes. But I don't know when.
Actually, I originally thought that, within about five years, one BTC would be worth either about $1k or nothing. Then I was thinking $10k per BTC... But honestly, within 5-7 years, I think it will be either $100k+ per BTC or pretty much zero, and probably not much in between. (Ł might be between, say, zero and $2k per Ł.) And I mean $100k at today's prices, excluding any future printing actions by Helicopter Ben & Co. Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: ArticMine on March 18, 2013, 11:36:07 PM 1000 USD and 10000 USD or higher are, given time, very likely. The more interesting question is whether to road to say 10000 USD takes a detour via 40 USD, 30 USD, 20 USD or even 10 USD.

only question is when... 2016? 2026? Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: Gab1159 on March 18, 2013, 11:37:41 PM Yes.
With a maximum of 21 million bitcoins that can be mined, just imagine IF huge websites such as Amazon or eBay started to use them...21 million isn't even 1% of America's population! It will become very scarce eventually and 21 million is really a small number. Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000?

Part of me is still a little bearish, somehow (this rocket is too powerful!), so I've held off on buying BTC, preferring the comfort of cheaper Ł instead. By exchanging between BTC and Ł one can speculate without touching fiat. Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: goldlyre on March 19, 2013, 12:00:13 AM Yeah, sure, absolutely!!!! ;D

As mining equipment becomes easier to use for the average person, several people may just opt to buy an ASIC to stick in the corner as opposed to buying through the exchange. Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000? Post by: BitPirate on March 19, 2013, 01:57:32 AM That sends the cost of mining BTC up, as the supply rate does not change.
More people will be invested in ASIC, will barely be able to break even, and will want good prices for their BTC. Yes we will hit $1000. Title: Re: Will Bitcoin ever hit $1,000?
