I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.

[oblivi]

Most of you lot live in fairy land, I actually feel for you and wish you all the best and that you beat your bitcoin price rise addiction. The wealthy elite has long gone from this game and they will not look back. Most of what is left I will not name 

So NASDAQ is not wealthy?

Oh totally not, the wealthy elite was Mark Karpeles and he already left right. Fucking tools.

[QuestionAuthority]

They have said multiple times that they are not going to use Bitcoin. They are researching the use of "Blockchain Technology" for record keeping.

Nasdaq is one of the first multinational financial services companies to explore ways to leverage the blockchain in a non-currency manner.

This doesn't mean Nasdaq is using actual Bitcoins as currency. But Nasdaq will be interacting with the Bitcoin system to slip data into the blockchain.

Nasdaq's experiment is a limited one. On Monday, the Wall Street Journal referred to Nasdaq's pre-IPO market, which launched in January 2014, as "a fledgling marketplace." But if it works out, expect to see it use the blockchain concept elsewhere.

What's wrong with $80,000 per coin?

Nothing much but isn't it considerably more of a stretch? A $1000 coin was achieved off the back of a few hundred thousand enthusiasts using comedy exchanges run by children and crooks.

$80,000 would need a decent chunk of global wealth being convinced to pour into it and stay there. It probably wouldn't actually require that much USD in global terms, maybe $100-250 billion of direct expenditure to push it that high but that's still far from chump change.

Possible but far more difficult to achieve.

When the next Bull market finally starts, people will discuss $100,000 to $1 Million+ per BTC and be taken seriously. I think ~$5,000 is not too crazy within a year or two.

Bitcoin seems useful for sending/receiving larger amounts of money, but with the 50,000 satoshi price to send, it isn't as useful for smaller transactions. I don't know, it charges me 50k satoshi.

After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Bitcoin will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Bitcoins. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 10 to 20 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming months.

The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers.

What are you going to do with your Bitcoin wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop?

Nothin' like quoting the OP of a 4-year-old thread started by Atlas, with the thread still goin' strong and having over a quarter million views.

NASDAQ is up in this bitch already. It only takes a couple whales joining the party, we don't need "Mass adoption" to hit 6 figures per coin.

I wonder.

These people are hardened pros. They're not going to pump money in when they know they can be dumped all over by a bunch of spotty oiks who lucked out.

If they do want to separate a lot of people from their coins they'll be doing it in a rather sneakier and scarier manner. Perhaps it has been happening for a while. We might learn something about that in the years to come.

i have been in the stockmarket for quite some time now.... take oil as an example. there is still much oversupply and just recently there was a 30% increase in price. the markets dont have anything to do with supply and demand. oil is still way oversupplied. markets follow the direction the big banks like goldman suckx direct it to. also when they start buying, this will trigger algo's that start buying even more.... everyone will get scared to miss out again and start buying as well... just one big signal is needed. when it comes... dont know. maybe within next 1.5year since the stockmarket is near to the end of the current cycle.

think they are already buying silently. so no-one notices. i see bitcoin like gold. gold is also near it lows.

i fully agree, it was never a problem of adoption, it's a problem of having whales in the market, not just holders and traders that want to be pro by playing with random bot

None from suggested speculated prices seems impossible.  Just imagine the price per bitcoin when millions of new bitcoiners will want to buy some.  Price will be astronomical.

mmh i don't know such price scenario seems still unreal to me, many would be rich with that price(100k), they would dump for sure, causing another tremendous crash

also faucets would be fucking profitable, they will start to reward you only 1 satoshi per hour..

FYI:
Fees are 0.0001 BTC (10,000 Satoshi, unless there was a change that I don't know about), which is currently equal to ~2.4 cents, so the fees are fine for "small" transactions, but not micro-payments.

Not pretty sure and confident that I will be the new wealthy elite, gentleman as the future is full of uncertainties and looking at the present bitcoin value doesn't guarantee that it would regain its value in future period of time. So fingers are crossed right now but lets hope for the best.

[Oscilson]

It all depends on the long term adoption and usefulness of bitcoin.

This thread has made it through many roller coaster prices increases and dips, so I'm sure it will still be here for the next rally...it just may not be for awhile

Well, I think if cryptos will be a widely spread payment option sometime, many of the early members (and it's still early time of crypto coins) will become rich.

I am holding a significant part of PayCon[CON] so I'm already future rich. And in the crypto elite by now also. My long term goal is to become richer than a known super scammer Homero Ganza*. But I'm getting rich the legit way - just by hodling next gen assets



* Homero Ganza is infamous scammer who Paycoined^tm his brainwashed hashtards by promising 20$ floor and premined almost all the coins which he later dumped into his believers and the floor never happened.

Did anyone ever find out how much he made out of it? I never managed to find out how many coins he sold to people for $20 each.

According to Homero he did not earned anything in gaw, like all he got he put into failed Paycoin projects, but he is lying of course, cause it's all he does... I guess we'll never find out exactly, because he might have dumped coins on multiple anonymous accounts on exchanges...

I am guessing the OP knew what he was talking about.

Does anybody know who this anonymous person is?

And, I am quite surprised that this thread is still going from 2011

Just like this quote which says it will happen.
What the fuck, I might quote myself in 25 years if I'm still alive.

If bitcoin becomes a religion, then it will be tax free, right? At least in the states
