It is now $ 4,000. To be honest I don't understand why there is such a sharp rise and this has me concerned.
I thought it was obvious to everyone, but apparently, it's not. It has all to do with the looming Segwit activation that by the next difficulty adjustment (around ten days away from now) will become reality. But honestly, I still consider current levels to be peanuts. I will start taking the price a bit more serious, at the time we finally demolish the $10,000 level - that's right, five massive figures! If we happen to reach $5000 this year, from there it will "only" require the market to increase with 100% in order to reach five figure levels. I remember the thread that was pointing at how many coins one person would need in order to become a millionaire - well, the number of coins needed to reach millionare status are decreasing in a rapid phase. Even insignificant coin numbers back in 2015, are worth a decent bit of money now.
