This x1000. 100$/BTC really scares off small investors.
And $800/share of Google doesn't? Come on now. And $1,600/oz of Gold doesn't?

Spurn wild goose chases. Seek that which endures.

My clock radio woke me up this morning with the news that all bank transactions were suspended in Denmark due to a computer glitch, no withdrawals or deposits possible. Half an hour later the news television channel had an interview with an employee in some banks data center and he told the there had been a problem with a "transaction clearing file" which had caused the whole morning processing to halt. I'm not saying there's a correlation, nor arguing with your interpretation of the "true reason" for the suspended transactions, but this story is amusingly familiar.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

I told my wife on Monday that if the price reached $100 by Friday evening, I'd take her to a nice dinner with half of one. We're both watching the price with great anticipation. Haha - lol - I told my gf that when I hit a certain target she'll get a macbook. haha, the interesting tales. My GF bitched me out last night because she said I wouldn't stop talking about Bitcoin and I wasn't paying enough attention to her. Then she reiterated her point that BTC is illegal and will be shutdown eventually (ironic she says that because she is an attorney and has no freaking clue what BTC is). Then she put her hands on her hips and told me if I was making so much money I needed to take her to dinner or else there was no point being together! lol!

I would say Tuesday by the earliest. There is a significant pyschological resistance to that price.
Depends a bit what happens in Cyprus though.

I doubt that, they're already making plenty of money. The longer it takes the higher the price so the more commission they make on the eventual transactions.

After the previous all time high of 2011, $100 will be the biggest resistance point. If we cross this, $100 will be a huge support. I also hope we will make an global agreement of displaying Bitcoin not in BTC anymore but mBTC. This will make it more attracting for new comers.
I don't like "mBTC" - too many letter smashed together, too nerdy-sounding. There's really no particular reason to hold on to the term BTC at all, in the long term; it's purely arbitrary. (True, in the short term it is useful to impress people with the growth.) I say we just switch to bitcents. One bitcent is almost a dollar now. Perhaps the currency code symbol could be "BCT." Does that open up more possibilities than BTC?

When you're checking the price when she gets up to go to the bathroom during sex, you know you have a problem.
