Google says 1 BTC is worth 1 386 969$

I don't know what just happened, but when I opened this tab I got this:



This is pretty plausible actually if we get this dumb SegWit proposal out of the way and Bitcoin starts to scale on chain using FlexTrans.

Seems more like 5487 btc

Google confused it for thousands. It's fine for me at the time of this post.
If it's still broken for you, try using the comma (,) instead.

Google didn't confuse. The European standard is to use decimals (.), whereas the English / American standard is to use commas.
If the conversion was into USD instead of EUR, the OP would have got the correct answer.

Nope. Tried it and I got 5000 something. Are you from the US or EU? Guessing it's EU so Google changed it for him. Or perhaps it's that's how much Bitcoin will be worth in the next century

I tried to google it out and upon searching the same words "5.487 btc in eur" it showed 5884.68 euro's and changing the decimal point (.) to comma (,) it showed "5884681.08" euros. I'm not from EU though.

Maybe it's a glimpse of the future?!

Hmm.. maybe it's a conspiracy from google and they know the future of bitcoin? 

[Okurkabinladin]

Hyena, as others have already said. It is simple mistake at using coma.

In you picture it says: 5487 Bitcoins.

For you conspiracy theorists out there, who walk about with aluminium caps on their heads - I am sure Google of all companies would make its "scheme" public with simple search button.

well it is the mistake of the computer , hope when u refresh it you can see the problem to be fixed . well i think it is the future price of bitcoins .even if it happens ,people will sell their bitcoins at a very fast level and it might happen the price may drop at an exponential level.

This is surely a mistake by google and price of 5 Bitcoins is not that much. But if you see this screen after 5 years, who knows this price will be real and i think we are heading towards this.

So, What's the relationship between doing a wrong typewriting and SegWit proposal?
It's thousands btc
Did you think if The SegWit proposal will make a wrong input and calculation from the google itself?
Interesting for watch.

Google's​ value of bitcoin is quite the right one. In common most of the time the price of bitcoin displayed in Google and other exchange websites were just an average of a list of exchange service providers. So now getting closer to $1150 seems to be a good growth for bitcoin after a fall.

Well let's hope the price posted by OP will be real in the future but I think us seeing it 5 years later from now is a bit too early unless bitcoin is used daily as one of the accepted payment methods when shopping by that time. I really wanted to see that though hoping in the near future, many countries will accept bitcoin as it is now.

What time did you try this? Which browser did you use? It was probably a bug from Google and was fixed a few moments later or a problem with your browser.

And no one has suggested that it was likely just an April Fools' Day joke (either on Google's or OP's part)

Regarding decimal point (or dot), it is used to separate the fractional part of a number from the rest, and as such it is used both in America and in Europe, so I don't see any point (pardon the pun) of arguing over this issue. It is obvious that the notation is the same in the query and reply, so if you omit the possibility of photoshopping, the only viable alternative is Google throwinga joke. In fact, I expected exchanges to come up with something like this on April 1

Never thought of this as a joke because of April the 1st. This was actually a tab in my Firefox browser that got restored from previous a session when I started the browser. And I'm not exactly sure if it happened on April the 1st anyway, perhaps a day later.

Google made a mistake and though you meant thousands of coins but anyway although that price is very far away I think anyone will like that price to be true since that would mean that to be a millionaire you will only need one bitcoin.

[Sundark]

And no one has suggested that it was likely just an April Fools' Day joke (either on Google's or OP's part)

I initially thought it was an April Fool's Day prank too. But when I searched about google and bitcoin pranks there is no source which mention it.
So either it was so next level that no one (almost no one, considered that we are discussion it) noticed it or it was a mistake on google's part.

Or... google secretly has invented a time machine and gave us a glimpse into the future, 10 years ahead when BTC will reach that price for real!

i dont think bitcoin can go there far up if you understand the scaling issues

Scaling issue is not technical problem. It is political case, when one party is stubborn enough to block every other way of fixing problems.

It is a hot topic and flavour of the month kind of thing, not something that we will be remembering 10 years in the future.

10 years ago we didn't have bitcoin and now it is worth more than $1000, temporary scaling issue is not gonna stop the revolution.
