That is the beauty of Bitcoin. Of course, I am referring to the fact that you can buy a small fraction of Bitcoin not a full one. Many people do not understand this. It is important to explain this to beginners from the start.

You can always buy small pieces of BTC.If it gets that much buyers will have to buy like 0,0001 BTC or something and todays whales will be millionare and probably cash out.

[Mkmanik]

do you talking about Bitcoin price $50,000?? It's possible but not in midnight. we need a lot of time for this price of Bitcoin.I am a Bitcoin lover, every month I kept some biotin to my personal wallet that I used only for store bitcoin. so I am not going to buy Bitcoin with those high rate.i will take advantage of the price.

[Rinaze]

Why not? Provided that the transaction fees stay low, even lesser than now. Investments can still be in mBTC or just plain satoshis.

[PoorLad]

The interesting part if/when it reaches that. How violate will the market be? Will it see 10%+ drops like we have on some days now? At that price it is 5k or more

[Hallmader]

To be honest the longevity and perhaps even at a higher price will depend now on its usage and becoming a mainstream. Because no matter how high its price is for as long as people prefers using bitcoin then it will continue to hold its higher price. Prefers means being more reasonable by the way.

You could've asked the same question at every single price above zero.

A $50,000 Bitcoin means that a decent proportion of the world now has the desire for it. That in no way means that it's reached its potential. Even when it has reached saturation, the deflationary aspect means that your value will remain immune from inflation.

If 1 coin was $500 billion, it would still make sense to buy a crumb of it if it was stable and rising.

I think the bitcoin's price will not reach this level for the few next coming years at least, but even if it happen there will be some Bitcoin enthusiasts which will buy it again no matter its high price.

I don't think it make sense if the transaction fee is the same as the crumb you are buying or even if it's not the same but high enough, most investors will probably think thrice.

Price can't jump over $50k from current $4k level overnight because there will be lots of sell pressure and resistance levels which will easily block the uptrend. That's why price is pumping in several stages, a big pump - a small correction - stable price for few days/weeks - another round of pump.

There will be always buyer for bitcoin at every level because even 1% people don't know anything about bitcoin till now.

Only 21 Million people will ever be able to own one single Bitcoin each (in approx 123 years from now).
The beauty of Bitcoin is that you don't need to purchase a full coin for yourself at that price, you can buy fractions of a coin.

Compare it to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-A), which is trading at about 268,000 USD today. Here you can only buy a full coin - sorry share. There is no way to buy fractional shares. Berkshire has issued some years ago class B shares (BRK-B), which trade at 178 USD. So these could be somehow compared to fractional bitcoins.

The average trading volume for BRK-B is around 3,113,631 shares a day

The average trading volume for BRK-A is around 338 shares per day
So even a single BRK-A share trades at a value of a very nice house, there is still a significant number of people who buy at these prices. The price per coin/share does not really matter.

Bitcoin is much more flexible as there is a finer granularity of fractional parts.

Total market capitalization of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a multiple of the current BTC market cap, so from that perspective BTC is still just a piss in the ocean on a global finance scale. Lots of potential if done right.

[Bigmacduck]

Additional fact: there are 755,440 shares of BRK-A in circulation.

Compare this with 16,519,187 BTC in circulation.

So an eventual 50k$ price tag per BTC is not ridiculous.

There will be always buyer for bitcoin at every level because even 1% people don't know anything about bitcoin till now.

According to the world population clock on http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ there are approximately 7,526,950,613 people living on this planet and every day there are 200,000 more.

Compare that with the 16,519,187 BTC in circulation. So only a maximum of 16.519 million people can own at maximum one BTC each. That is only 0.22% at the very maximum. So it is probably safe to say that more than 99.8% of the earth population are clueless about BTC today. Think about the potential if 2% of the world population would own and use bitcoin and 5% would know about BTC's potential.

Many people will buy. You just have to grasp the idea of a fraction of bitcoin. I know it's hard because we are used to our fiat money being worth very little. There's not much that you can buy for 1 USD, right? Cents are only there because many items don't have round prices and you see for instance 12.95 or whatever. With BTC you'll be dealing with prices like 0.0001 for a meal in a restaurant! It's the inevitable future. 

[faaty]

we can discuss about an update in the bitcoin and we can make it 210 millions instead of 21 million. so that the price will be 5000 usd instead of 50k

or bitcoin exchanges can sell satoshis. 1 satoshi will be 0.5 cents in that situation.

I believe these can solve the problems in the future.

holding and storing bitcoin is very justified because its  the right of all people is like my money is the money I want if it is my sole right but not justified for companies that use bitcoin services because in the company there  FUD

There are still people who would even buy at that price. For sure there will be many sellers but at that point maybe the demand for bitcoin is very high and most people will buy only fractions of bitcoin because not all people can afford a 1 whole bitcoin by that time. It would only be bad if all people intends to only hold before even reaching the said price because it won't go up or down.

[agatha818]

I would! I'll buy small portions of bitcoin, that's what I'm doing now, and it's not even 50k, I think some of the bitcoin holders do the same buy small portion,  some buy the full price, because they can afford it, still a lot of traders and holders buy small portions that they could afford

[xplorer79]

IMHO, the issue with a 50K bitcoin, is there is not much room left for growth and profit. Even if we can buy fractions of a BTC, it would be very hard or long to make some profit from it.
