With the following list I can't see how prices can remain below $7/btc by December 31st of 2012: 1. Block reward having (i know i know repeating it a million times) 2. More efficient mining equipment to hit the market inevitable as technology gets better and miners seek to have the "edge" over others. 3. Price rising without any news media hype. 4. With elections in a few months and our financial system in turmoil I can see stocks tanking, USD exchange markets tanking, gold and silver price taking a hit via manipulation (possibly). 5. (i'm sure that I've forgotten something....but oh well you get the picture) Note: Recent volatility we saw today between $7.40 and $9.50 is nothing just looking at previous price movements. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) "keep stacking bitcoins"

Agree 100%. I started buying BTC steadily since April because I've been predicting an intensifying loss of confidence in the world's financial systems and currencies for some time now. It's become laughable - there is a new scam revealed pretty much every week, yet somehow everything goes on business as usual. I'm thinking it's going to really start unravelling by late September - the traditional month for banking crises.
I think there will be a flood into Bitcoin especially seeing as how the metals are so manipulated right now. It's also becoming more and more convenient for people worldwide to convert to Bitcoin by depositing cash locally.

I think that last years $31 is very unlikely to be bitcoins all time high. I would expect that it will be surpassed within the next few years.

This much is a mathematical certainty because of the inflation on fiat. The question is will it get back to $31 in 2011 value (the silver parity proposal is interesting in that regard)? I do think so and agree it will be within the next 4 years.

Certainty can be defined as either: perfect knowledge that has total security from error, or; the mental state of being without doubt. I have to agree... if the dollar keeps losing value bitcoin will go up. you dont think so? actually one could argue that future fiat inflation is already calculated into today's price IMO, no its not. 1 btc = 8$ of value 1btc != 8$ of value 4 years from now the market wont look that far ahead.

Many things can go wrong for bitcoin:
- some large govt makes makes it illegal (eg US, China, EU) - exploit in protocol (unlikely) - exploit in deployed code (likely) - a better (more features) coin appears that makes people switch - another GOX security breach - SR gets taken down by the fed - 51% attack - coordinated cyberwarfare by funded opponent (governments). - people finally discover how hard it is to hold on to their coins in face of determined hackers (i.e. not the script kiddie level hacks we've seen so far), but stuff at the level of stuxnet etc ...
The future is unpredictable. By definition.
I think you forgot the most important one. People get bored, sell the btc, and go do other things. Price of btc falls and this miniscule group of people keep proclaiming btc will go big this year.

LOL my father said at 6 point crazy: "i will buy again, when it comes back down" i told him "ya i really dont see that happening" he says "Ya ya people will get board and sell soon." Right....

My estimation of probability over a ten year period;
65% - some large govt makes makes it illegal (eg US, China, EU) 5% - exploit in protocol (unlikely) 15% - exploit in deployed code (likely) 75% - a better (more features) coin appears that makes people switch 50% - another GOX security breach 80% - SR gets taken down by the fed 6% - 51% attack 5% - coordinated cyberwarfare by funded opponent (governments). 8% - people finally discover how hard it is to hold on to their coins in face of determined hackers
This is not based on any data and is only my opinion.
