Imagine if bitcoins were worth 10000 dollars. How nice wouldn't that be? Do you think it will ever happen?

It's too much! 1000 is ok, but 10,000?? Let's be serious.

Only 10k? It's gotta be worth more than that if it's widely used.

I'm holding for $7,000,000

10,000 is chicken feed

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

This would mean a market cap of ~200 billion.

This is certainly not impossible if bitcoin becomes a popular method of storing value, but still certainly a "black swan event".

I want to come back to these threads when bitcoins are in the $5000+ range... there will be so many Dragonball Z references... Cheesy

I wouldn't like 10,000 much. The volatility would probably be mostly gone and I make much more profit by trading than just holding.

I'm imagining it as we speak. However, unfortunately, that does not seem to be having the desired effect.

Less coins available=higher value of the remaining ones.

Wonder if this was an intended feature?

How about mining gets sooooo unprofitable that most (99.999%) people just stop doing that.
How long would a transaction of this many satoshi take in this case - hypothetically just a couple of computers still run the software, for the sake of it - ?

Mining difficulty is adjusted to the hash rate of the network. If 90% of miners dropped out the difficulty would drop, which would yield a bigger return for the remaining miners. Not an issue in other words. There will always be miners, even when all they get is the transfer fees.

sorry but how mining could be unprofitable with price of $10000 (and probably still rising) per bitcoin?

He said "imagine". I do it all the time with the lottery. You should try it. Great way to kill time on my public bus commutes around the city. ;-)

I think we'll at least test $10,000 once in our lifetime.

Take it a little further... Imagine when entire countries see the light and begin to rely on bitcoins to store national wealth rather than gold.
And a rather significant fractions will have become lost by then.
$1000,000 easily!
