No, because a large percentage will sell off at $1k, then $5K, then $10K etc.   Early adopters will become early sellers, there will only be a select few that will have the gonads and patience to hold even when the price skyrockets.
Wrong. Faulty generalization is not a indicator or what is going to happen. People seriously need to rethink why they are involved with Bitcoin. Essentially what should be done once the price takes off (which will probably be followed by adoption) is to spend Bitcoin itself. That's what it was designed for.
People need to stop being greedy and converting. If I ever plan on buying X, I will buy it using Bitcoin.

probably much less than 1, i would say from 500 the selling pressure will increase a lot, and will be exponential from 1k, which is a good thing, less weak hands more strong price
Possibly, but I doubt that there will be much pressure at $500. If you remember the huge amount of threads of people complaining that they are at a loss (when the price started to go down). I'm expecting selling pressure to exponentially increase above $1k. However, that price point again might be a indicator and we might take off even further.


OP there will never be enough Bitcoins for 21 million people to own 1. You do have to factor in the estimated 1M that satoshi has, a various losses over time.

But who guarantees you that people will be selling when we get to their price points where they got in, e.g. $500, $1000 etc. I mean in my opinion, most of those who wanted out have gotten out and took a loss already. When Bitcoin hits $500 again, I would be excited that it recovered and would be looking how high can it go over $500 to try and lock some profits and wouldn't be looking to get out and be even.

I don't know, this is me, I don't know are the others thinking like that as well, but I am.

Cheers!

There are many abolished paper currencies, they all have limited number, but only worth something in the eyes of currency collectors. If a currency is not in circulation, then its demand and value will be very limited

A large portion of this forum is blindly beliving that the 21 000 000 cap is going to make everybody want to use bitcoins. It has no effect on the mainstream user if there is a cap or not. The physiological effect of owning a bitcoin today wont have any effect on the masses. Not more than having a rare stamp is affecting the masses as it is only other stamp collectors who cares.

The things that make a good currency has nothing to do with how many or what medium they are in. What matters is as follows. Are it trustet so you can buy stuff, can you earn it doing normal jobs, are everyone else around you using it and finally is it legal so you dont risk anything by using it. 99.9% of the worlds population has no desire to use a currency just because of it anonymity. They want something usefull.

If people wanted a currency with limited supply there are a lot of options and many are easier to adapt than bitcoins who are being hoarded by geeks and other oddballs. Either they adopt a crypto who is spread evenly so everyone could get in on it or they could go for low inflation systems. Low inflation has been tested in Japan, and the sharia laws forbid interest on loans....

But once again, I didn't mean how much will the 21 millionth bitcoin cost.
I asked what will the 21 millionth BITCOIN USER WANNABE PAY for 1 BTC (even if he buys only a fraction of it, as it will much probably be).
Maybe a more clear way to pose the question is: how much will 1 BTC cost when the number of Bitcoin users will hit 21 million?

About "the things that make a good currency"... I won't enter into that matter, as there's another thread to be opened if one wants to discuss such a large topic, but the fact that the number of Bitcoins is limited to 21 millions IS actually a factor to increase its value over time. I hope I don't have to explain you why.

I don't think you will see people using Bitcoin anywhere soon... too few shops where to spend it.
Maybe in the USA things go well, maybe in Norway or UK you can actually use Bitcoin often, but in the rest of the world you can't use it for everyday shopping, not even if you really want.
But this is a side consideration.
The main consideration is that who came into Bitcoin so early, forcefully knows or thinks its price is destined to grow A LOT.
This makes spending of Bitcoin quite naive if you ask me, and the less you have, the more naive you are if you spend it.
I agree though that SOMEBODY should spend them, because shops must see use of it, if we want Bitcoin to be implemented.
But I think it's still early and most of all I think that the people spending Bitcoin should be the ones that have most of them, rich people and such, while people with 5 BTC or less should hold onto them and only begin to spend when mainstream adoption will approach.

i agree, a lot of people would sell on the first sight of price rise
Well I'll not be one of those selling early.
I'll just earn and hold them.

What will be the value of one Bitcoin when the number of users (people that will want to use Bitcoin) will hit 21 millions?

At this point, if each user wanted to have 1 Bitcoin, will have to pay a certain number of $ or € or Y, whatever. I'm going with $ just because it's the most used around the world.

How many $ do you think that person, the n. 21 millionth, who wants to buy 1 BTC will have to pay to obtain it?

My wild guess is: 160000 $.

Now upto 25 millions already?

Uhhh wat?

If we were to have 21 million bitcoin users, the prices will surely sky rocket, but I think that just means we begin trading more in Satoshis than using bitcoins as a regular trading unit.
I really look forward to such a day Smiley

Wild Guess: 10k$ per btc when the users reach 21 million.

Most actual bitcoin users today can say that they own at least one bitcoin.
If we have 21 million users that can no longer be said. Several people own more than one bitcoin and there are lost coins.
21 million users should push the price well over $10,000 IMO. The fear of missing out will mutate into crazed hoarding. Many will refuse to sell, pushing prices/value even higher.  
totally not true. Most bitcoiners own less than a bitcoin even now.



Hmm... it would be nice to be able to get some facts on this.
I think most bitcoiners would have at least 1 BTC, especially with 1 BTC being less than $300. Set aside some money every month, soon you would have a bitcoin.
You think most bitcoiners have less than 1.
I guess that will lead a debate to, who counts a bitcoiner? If someone only has a few bits they received on changetip, but they don't advocate or continue to accumulate, are they really a "bitcoiner"?
