Main Stream adoption is key. Buy Buy Buy while you can get a bargain

That is true mainstream adoption is the key to success, but at present the prices are comparatively going high so it is not the right time to buy, this is the right time to sell a part of bitcoins and make a profit out of it and if the prices goes down in the coming months than can again buy some bitcoins and hold it for the future for the price hike.

With all respect I do not agree. Now is still time to buy. I feel the price will rise and fall down to what it is now. Then again this is all speculation but I got this gut feeling a while ago and really think this is another major bubble.

It is the truth if Bitcoin ever did realise its full potential. Its that finite supply you see. Essentially it would need to become the working capital of international trade.  Bitcoin would then be taking $10 trillion of foreign currency.  If that were the case, each Bitcoin could be worth about $1 million. The probability of that happening is low but certainly not impossible. More realistically is bitcoin becoming the preferred currency for certain types of trade but even then that would still see Bitcoin price well past its historical high. In this scenario we would be looking at anything from 5k to 20k per coin.

I Agree. But the fact is that the newbie who wants to get into the bitcoins for the first time will he buy at this price?? I believe he will wait for the prices to get lower down, and yes the people who are using bitcoins since long time they can still afford to buy as they have already made profits out of it, but for the newbie I don't think its a right time to buy.

I was a n00b the first time the price hit $400. Your advice would have been bad then and I think it's probably bad now.

I agree, this may be the last time to get coins sub 500
The next ATH will make the last one look like peanuts

Give it a week and you'll be able to get them for sub $250 again.

I'm going with a bit higher than that, but I think overall you're right. Then again with China imposing capital controls and the continuing meltdown in Greece, We could both be totally wrong

Soon the world will buy mBTC instead of full BTC

There aren't enough full BTC for everyone, it's only natural the price of 1 BTC is beyond reach of even first world citizens.    

If you would want to give every citizen of Tokyo a Bitcoin, you would not even have enough to give each of them a full Bitcoin (not enough by half). And that's just one city. It's ridicilous to expect the price of Bitcoin to stay so low that it is accessable for the average person, it's not designed to be.

The average person should be able to afford just about 3 mBTC (21 million divided by 7 billion) if you hoor more than that your already ahead of the curve.

This advice is bogus and todays deep dip of $100 out of nowhere proves that.
I'll wait until $300 to get in on the buying frenzy.

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?

I must think about this if and when this level will be reached. But for sure I will spend some of m bitcoins for the fee of the universities for my two daughters. If the price will be reached before their going there. hen i will wait that the price go more to spend others. Have no other rush things to do for the moment. Maybe I will change some others just for diversification of my money but not sure about this. Anyhow, as i told in the beginning, everything will be decided in the right, desired and needed moment. When the price will arrive that fantastic figure.

Yes, I am sure that many of us will be selling off coins along the way, so it will likely, if coins were to be valued at $10,000, that we may only have maintained a small fraction of our original coins, unless we plan ahead and attempt to figure out ways to preserve a sufficient quantity of our BTC stash in order to enjoy the fruits of that $10,000 price-point.

It seems the OP's forum profile is not there. Did the forum allow for guests to post anonymous back in the day? It's pretty strange that I keep clicking on his nickname but there's nothing there, just a text that says "Anonymous" and doesn't redirect me to a profile. Can anyone explain this to me? Also unfortunately, I think OP might have panic sold already.

Seems pretty odd to me too. Something must've happened with his account that it needed to get deleted or banned? But they decided not to delete the thread because of it's popularity?

My assumption is that maybe OP was someone a bit known like rpietila or something, and he had his real name on his profile, email and so on.. probably thought it was better to be an anonymous multimillionaire.

[Bagatell]

OP was perma banned for trolling IIRC. Details are buried in this thread somewhere.

newbies look at the trend, and experience FOMO (fear of missing out).  Sometimes, it can take a bit of price momentum for this to occur, but when something is on the rise, the news gets out and newbies begin to jump on board, and maybe they only begin with a small amount, but as the price keeps rising, they begin to invest more and more, and then at some point the bubble bursts, and many of the later arrivers are trapped.... Anyhow, everyone hopes that it will not be him/her that is trapped.

Yeah right. 

You should realize by now that the past 20 months of bitcoin's performance is not a very accurate prediction of its future performance, and currently with market dynamics, it is very likely that your prediction is wrong (your prediction of this post probably has less than a 1% chance of occurring, especially within the next 1 -2 weeks).

[RealBitcoin]

We could see a retracement (in fact we just saw because of the auction)

However I really doubt it will go below 200$ this time. I am confident it could reach 600$ too if we push strong

That's a good illustration of the direction that this thing is likely going, and talking in terms of mbtc is going to become much more practical - and I hope that the bitcoin community or at least some kind of widespread practice will come into adoption in order to be clear about certain names for valuations (and various fractions of a bitcoin), as the priced are likely to continue to increase.
