When I share something about Bitcoin on Facebook, nobody like that or no comment about that; cause they don't know. But I know in 2 or 3 years people share their ChangeTip links like crazy, talk about discounted prices with Bitcoin, talk about Bitcoin price's dumping/pumping etc. If that days come, Bitcoin price will be more than $10,000 guys, we'll see this I believe!

$50,000 seems like an achievable end state for BTC price. That would reflect about a $1T capitalization - very approximately 1/10'th of Gold. Levels beyond that are possible but IMHO overly optimistic.

If you say based on percentage We still early adopter Maybe we have to wait 20 years to see most people adopt bitcoin ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I was actually shocked when some one told me how many people actually own Bitcoin. Was thinking in the range of a few million people, but it's only a few hundred thousand. There is so much room for growth, something tells me the next few years will be huge. Yes there is room for growth but there needs to be a reason for it to grow, eg there needs to be a reason for people to buy and use it. Right now the reason why people would use bitcoin is because it provides a lower cost way of sending money, however there is the added cost of the fact that there are no consumer protections and many scam attempts (many successful)

Not really none, it's still as illegal to steal as anything else is.

Oh and this gem turned up. "Overhyped" "Number of users grossly overestimated" suggestion of being off by a factor of 10. Sound familiar? No it's not the latest bitcoin FUD article... It's the New York Times reporting on the internet in 1994... http://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/10/business/business-technology-doubts-raised-on-number-of-internet-users.htmlWe know what happened next.

Yes there is room for growth but there needs to be a reason for it to grow, eg there needs to be a reason for people to buy and use it. When this happen any crypto may became soul of purchasing something over the net. I think that will be mainly purpose for most of cryptos.

You got it right but more people are interested to hear something about it not just for bitcoin for all other cryptos. Have several co workers who read something in paper and ask little about it. I gave them few direction and they now read and explore possibilities for additional income like most of us.

But who the hell has that kind of money to do that. We are talking a posbility for everyone. Back in the day, someone that registered a couple of household names like what.. i dont know, sex.com, broadcast.com, news.com whatever.. and then started some basic business could become a billi. With BTC i dont see it as clear. The opportunity to have a ton of BTC for a small investment is over. I can only hope that 1 BTC goes to 1 milli in a decade and I think im being delusional with that.

Yes BTC is my opinion future in internet every day paying system. The more you surf more ads you see about some exchange or casino or something similar to any crypto.
So bottom line is we wont be able to see full potential of BTC.

The fact that you have found this community shows that you probably are smarter than average. Your Facebook friends aren't if they represent a group consisting of average people. If you post something here, even if it isn't about Bitcoin people will understand. For that reason you may have the illusion that your Facebook friends should understand that as well. Even if 50 % of people some day have a Bitcoin wallet that doesn't mean they understand it. They still won't comment when you post about Bitcoin on Facebook.
