It really just depends on how widespread they become. If i'm able to purchase books and art and videogames with BTC, then I imagine the price will become quite high. The entire concept of treating BTC as a speculative instrument is baffling to me, because it is entirely against the concept of Bitcoins.
You can already spend your BTC at many places, here is list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade |

Basically I am afraid that the wallet on my hard drive is not giving me the correct balance. I don't really understand what change addresses are, but could that have something to do with this? I'm confused. Why is the blockchain telling me I have 2 BTC less what Bitcoin-QT tells me I have?
Very likely, but only if you sent coins from Bitcoin-QT wallet |

As a few smart people have wisely pointed out, people are not buying Bitcoins to spend them. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to believe that. Let's look at it:
Mary wants to buy a new TV.
<snip>
Mary has some savings. She can put them on the bank, and earn less than inflation, or she can put them in bitcoin, losing 1% one-time. After a few years, Mary decides she wants to buy a TV. In a freak occurrence, in contrasts to all previous years, bitcoin didn't return massive gains, but gained only a few percent to compensate for inflation. Mary happily buys the TV with her bitcoin. She then decides to receive her future paychecks in bitcoin, negating the conversion fees. And what happens if when she wants to buy her TV the value of Bitcoins have crashed such that the same coins can now only buy her a pocket radio? Better pocket radio than nothing. No seriously, Bitcoin is risky investment as some stocks are |

I dont believe BTC will hit 1000$ this year. Correction is very likely. But next year, BTC will hit 1000$ definitively.

I dont believe this bubble will reach $1000, but next one (hopefully) in 2014 might.

I have about 10% of my savings in BTC. This is the amount I dont mind to loose if all go wrong  |

if you find yourself with some decent GPU and you don't pay electricity or if you have good rates you can profit from mining even now. But investing in something like an ASIC you gotta do your calculation very well but who knows if BTC keeps rising you could ROI even a big investment.
If BTC keeps rising you would be better buying BTC now. Mining is big gamble because of increasing difficulty, and hard to say how many (and when) preorders will be delivered |

you parents want stability , you want fast big profit. It is differents between young and old people. If you lose your money your parents will be very sad.  Thats true, put only small part of this money to Bitcoin. Something like 5% - 10%. So even in worst scenario, it wouldnt be big loss |

I myself have ordered a large machine with a friend (less than 1Th/S but not small) and estimates show it should "pay itself back" within 30 days. The machine is $6.50 USD per Gh/S. Even if BTC falls to $100 and we assume a ridiculously high profitability decline of 0.1 or even 0.04 (unrealistic by the worst math), the machine pays itself back and turns a profit in a 90-day period. Do you count conservative difficulty change +30% every 11 days ? This mean -30% mined coins every 11 days. And delivery time is important as well as you see from difficulty change |

It is still possible to enter into mining. There is the occasional gem of a piece of equipment on ebay, I was lucky enough to get a few 60gh/s, which i have traded and am now running free. I was lucky, right place at the right time.
The biggest hurdle, I think, in the UK is the liquidity of BTC.
The trading makes the money not the mining. I made a few £ as well, but only from buying and selling equipment at the right time and taking mining income inbetween. The bottom line is if some hardware could be just plugged in and make money no one would sell it., they would keep it and mine. Good point, do the hardware manufacturers do as you have? Build, mine, then sell? It makes economic sense. And is what I am doing at present as well! I don't know, but I would if I was them Especially if they have money upfront and so bad reputation they cant loose even reputation |

China is buying up lots of Bitcoin and they are going to dump it soon..!!
Point taken, we shall see. I personally believe they buy as long term investing opportunity, but I might be wrong |

210-220 I cant believe it could go higher We will see under 150 again soon I believe |

I think mining does the trick, right?
Even if you use a pool it should be pretty possible to stay anonymous.
But you can be traced by your IP. But for most, staying anonymous is not important at all Use Tor. And public wifi connection. Dont know how it works with mining machines though, these have to stay at your home |
