How can this not get to 5k+ besides SHA256 being cracked?
In the order of probability, from higher to lower:
1. Evil power takes over 50% hashing and corrupts blockchain just for fun.
2. There is some critical bug that no security expert noticed in 5 years and it will go unnoticed while some hacker slowly steals all coins.
3. Humanity destroys itself with nukes, back to stone age with no electricity.
4. Sun's magnetic impulse destroys planetary power grids.
5. Everybody become bored of bitcoin and walk away and start using Doge.
6. Trolls from this subforum are actually right and we're heading to zero upside down.
