I'm sure though, that even permabulls back then (including smoothie and myself) would consider anyone predicting $500 by the end of 2013 delusional. I've seen many crazy predictions then, like thousands, but noone predicted that we could approach 4-digit prices this year. No one.
It's like someone saying right now, that in 2014 price would break $25000. Yeah, sure, aha.
LOL, just check this topic next year
