Wikipedia's answer was incorrect. I need the local experts to point me in the direction of this moon you speak of.

Let us assume for a minute that we are, in fact, shooting for the moon and using differing levels of distance from the Earth (in kilometers) to measure success.

Bitcoin went into the stratosphere (12km) on August 14, 2012.
Bitcoin went into the mesosphere (50km) on March 18, 2013.
Bitcoin went into the thermosphere (80km) on March 27, 2013.
Bitcoin went into the exosphere (700km) on November 19, 2013.

Since then bitcoin has settled back into the upper thermosphere.

The ISS is at around 400km, we are well past that.
The next large milestone is a complete exit of the earth's atmosphere at around 10,000km.

After that we have the L1 Lagrange Point at around 60,000 km from the moon (Varies with apogee and perigee, but let us take 60k as the average). The moon is, on average 384,400km, meaning the next milestone in the "to the moon" is around 325,000km.

At apogee, the farthest the moon gets from the earth, the moon is about 406,000 km from Earth.

If bitcoin surpasses $410k, it is safe to say that we have reached "to the moon" status.
