When you think about it, bitcoin could really be much much bigger than apple if it gets even anywhere near the same level of adoption, obviously they're not really competitors in any way but it is an interesting point of view. Finance is and always will be one of the biggest industries in the world

Makes sense, $50,000 could be a relatively conservative estimate if the current growth continues of the past year to 18 months.

That sounds about right. Predicting the rise to $5000 this year also lends him some credibility. It's also funny how bitcoin caught up with Goldman Sachs, as they're thinking about getting into the market.

Currently, the bitcoin market cap is around 100 billion. Apple's market cap is about 800 billion. I think there is a while for bitcoin to best Apple's market cap. In that time, a lot can happen -- apple can fall, or bitcoin can go up like crazy. I think it's unlikely that bitcoin will reach that threshold in 5 years, but if the same growth that we've been seeing is somehow sustained for the next 5 years, it's very possible.
