I was around when Bitcoin was $5, and $30, and I Bought my First Bitcoin at $30, I then Sold at $1,000. And I was Earning 7 Bitcoins a Month for a few Months, and Cashing that out for $7,000. I Remember when it First hit $1,000 and we were Talking about Satoshis and saying "One Day we will need to have a kind of Penny for Cryptocurrency" and we were all Talking about how One day in the Future there would be a Need to use Satoshis as a Unit of Measurement, and Satoshis are Actually a Good Place to Start. If Each Satoshi was 1 Penny (there are 100,000,000 Satoshi in 1 Bitcoin) then Bitcoin would be a Much Higher Price. And in Order to get to that Place, we need more People to be Holding Bitcoins, more People to take Bitcoins off the Market, even People Collecting Satoshis so that they have a Stake in the Price. And the More and more people that have "Skin in the Game" the Higher the Price will go.
And that gets to something I Talked about on this Website here:
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=137352.msg1335551#msg1335551First, People will need to Invest in Cloud Mining and Mining Bitcoin. That will be Part of the Price going up. There will have to be People that are Constantly involved in Mining and getting more Bitcoins, but mostly Holding them for the Future with Plans to Sell them for a Higher Price. And we want People to have Mining Machines that they can use for Other Currencies, we will always want there to be People Mining. And very Soon, we will be Helping People to use their Old Machines and Things by Creating New Currencies in the Van Kush Family Network, but that is beside the Point. But the Point is that we will always want People to be Mining, with Laptops, with ASICs, all of that will be Happening.
Then, there will be an Element of Generations and Cold Storage. Maybe instead of Buying Your Friend some Bitcoins for Christmas, Buy them a Cloud Mining Hashrate. If You were going to Spend $1,000, Spend $1,000 Still, and Find the Best Hashrate for the $1,000. Some Places Offer Free Workers and Things, and that is something You will want to Learn about. But Cloud Mining is Pretty Straightforward and Easy to Learn.
And on the Flip Side, more People need to get into the Cloud Mining Sales Market, there need to be Cheaper and Cheaper Cloud Mining Systems that don't go out of Business. This will involve having Other Projects with Money Coming in, such as a Currency of Your Own that is Part of the Mining Pool, as You also Create a Cloud Mining User Interface Platform. You could have Staking of Tokens You made, and Token A being Bought could be used to Mine Token B, and Token B could be Accepted at it's USD Value for Cloud Mining Services. Or Token B could be used in a Game that is Created.
But there just needs to be more Cloud Mining Services.
And then also, People Creating Mining Farms in Places where there is Natural Cold Year Round, and near Hydrdoelectric Dams, or with Solar Power in Places where the Sun Shines Year Round. Solar Mining will be maybe the Next most important Thing. As all of this Develops and there is a Focus on Cloud Mining, the Next Focus is Solar Mining, which is Photovoltaics.
And there used to be a lot of Discussion about Raspberry Pi Machines and Solar Panels, that used to be kind of a Big Deal in the Cryptocurrency Community but many People have forgotten.
And I Remember when People were saying "Bitcoin will Never be $1,000" then it was.
Then after it was $1,000 it went to about $600-$700 and kept moving around there for maybe 2 Years, and Everyone said "It will never be $1,000 again" and I said Both Times that it would be $1,000. Then I said it would be $10,000 and People said that was Crazy. Then it went to $18,000 one Christmas.
Then it went to $50,000, and Down to $20,000 and when it was $20,000 Everyone said "Bitcoin is DEAD!".
Now it is almost $70,000.
So once all this Other Stuff Happens, what Happens Next is Cold Storage. For example, You could have a Cold Storage Wallet (Basically a Password), that is engraved on the Inside of a Ring on Your Finger, or Hidden Printed on some Other Piece of Metal. It could be a Sword Imbued with Bitcoin. But this kind of Thing is what is going to Raise the Price of Bitcoin once we get Past the Mining Education.
And now, there is a Big Mining Infrastructure, and it's not going away. So that will Grow, and Everyone will Start getting more and more invested, as a Species that is. And Eventually the Price will Reach $100,000 and $1,000,000, it just might Take 100 Years. But $100,000 Probably isn't 100 Years away.
