As the title states, share your beliefs!
Personally:
1 month - Same as now (price wise, no major adoption taking place)
1 year - Price is 'steady' at 2k, adoption by a few chains online and fewer locally.
5 years - Price is still at 2k, adoption is close to peaking, with most retailers accepting it online and some locally.

Any reasons or theoretical future figures that led you to believe in those numbers?

OP, note that "adoption" is not simply merchant acceptance. That may be the trend right now, because bitcoin is currently a superior global payment network, but that won't be the primary value long-run. Eventually, fiat-payment systems will catch up. Then it will be more obvious to people that bitcoin's core value is in a confiscation-resistant, limited-supply, complete-monetary-information, open, permissionless currency and asset-class.
So "adoption" can better be thought of as some combination of number of holders and market-cap. Merchant adoption currently helps both, but will stagnate eventually, at which point the above considerations rightfully becomes dominant.

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

This prediction would be awesome. Could be realistic in my opinion.

I wouldn't mind a 1000USD price as long as it is stable and adoption increases continuously!

If it takes 5 years to ever hope to stratch ATH again, it means we lost the boat and we'll never be rich (or we will be too old to enjoy the wealth). Maybe even it would mean the adoption is way too slow for BTC to become something that normal people is going to care about. Let's hope this is not the case. In any case, if you don't own at least 300 BTC now you'll never retire from BTC which is what everyone wants secretly, so im already kinda meh about Bitcoin. If I can't retire off it, it's pointless.

That is NOT the attitude. No one should care if bitcoin will make you "rich". Its about forming a new currency. I dont see anyone else investing in the pound and saying "if in 5 years I can't retire from a $10,000 investment" it's worthless.. Its a currency, an asset. Not a money making, get rich quick scheme. If bitcoin is only $1000 in 2019, then it has failed.
Bitcoin needs a high market cap to become a stable currency and a store of value.
Therefore, I think bitcoin will be above $50k in 2019
Is price the only thing that determines bitcoin's success for you?! Well, it shouldn't be.. Go read the Satoshi whitepaper please and learn about the advantages and impacts bitcoin has had/can have.

Very nice prediction, but I will not be so oiptimistic. Even if Bitcoin price will reach 520 usd by the end o0f this year, this will be good. It seems today we have more sellers than buyewrs of Bitcoin. Real, ''big'' changes will begin when big merchants accept Bitcoin as payment option, not before. I hope this will happen in 2 or maximum 5 years.

A $5billion market cap is pathetic. ie Facebook blew $16billlion on whatsapp. In order for bitcoin to be taken serious, and to become a global store of value and a stable medium of exchange it needs higher market cap. Satoshi knew this.... A higher market cap will also encourage more innovation in the bitcoin ecosystem. Its the other way around: More innovation in the bitcoin ecosystem wil encourage a higher market cap. Just like price affects demand. Demand (in a the ideal economic/free market model) does not affect price.

1 month = 500 $ 6 mos (Q1 2015) = 750 - 1,250 $ 1 year (Q3 2015) = 1,500 - $2,500 $ 2 years (2016) = 3,000- 5,000 $ 5 years (2019) = 6,000 - 12,000 $ 10 years (2026) = 25,000 - 100,000 $ 15 years (2031) = $ 500,000 + 20 years (2036) = ∞ (fiat scrip no longer exists) 40 years (2056) = ∅ (capitalism no longer exists)
