The way the market moves nowadays $10000 in 2014 doesn't seem impossible.
Imagine if a big name moves into Bitcoin, like Western Union or alike...
Considering we added $1000 to the price in just ONE MONTH, it's certainly possible to hit $10k next year. At the current rate of growth we could hit $14k by Dec 2014. Extrapolating an exponential curve is pretty dangerous though. not on a log graph its not, having said that I think we should only be at $300 right now, $1k stable would be about may 2014 |

we will see 10k in 2014
This is very possible. We could be at the same stage as the first bubble. Can you buy 100m in btc? Not easily. Is it probable one person wishes to do so? 100% yes. |

Last I heard, betsofbitco.in was run by LukeJr who is a well respected forum member and a core developer. You're not likely to find a more trustable bitcoin service. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Power usage of the whole network, it grows depending on the Bitcoin price.
Who pays for this power usage?

Peercoin solves this issue By replacing mining with proof-of-stake, only the votes of the wealthy nodes count. I don't know about you, but I don't like to keep a lot of funds on a public mining node. |

The miners. No, its the speculators who bought miners' coins on the exchange that actually end up paying for it. |

The bitcoin network is hashing about 100x more than the top 500 supercomputers combined. If miners aren't making enough to clear their electricity bills, we can afford to lose some hashing power. |

I submitted the bet earlier in the year when we reached around $100/BTC. I figured we were hitting a 10X price increase per year so I figured we would hit $1,000/BTC some time in 2014 and hopefully $10,000 some time in 2015. I added a year to hedge against a slow year. The bet does not need to go until 2016 if we reach $10,000/BTC then the bet ends. |

They're trying to buy all the coins.
We must not let them.
