Everything is so much clearer with hindsight. The potential upside for BTC is vast, even now. The man in the street hasn't heard of it. Its like the internet back in '94.
We'll see wild price swings, certainly a massive correction is in order, but there is too much upside still in this.
$1,000 = 1BTC ... very possible
In the long run? Very possible, but even giving the massive increase in user-base and lower block reward, I expect a correction. This is a
classic bubble.
This is not a bubble...
you won't see BTC at less than $40-50 ever again, get used to it...
in two years, maybe $1000-$5000
Tell that to the guy who bought a pizza with 10,000 BTC...
that was less than 3 years ago!
If you have $1000 to spare, put it in bitcoin, it's only a $1000 you won't die if you lose $1000 right?
the potential of turning that in 10000-50000 overwights the potential of losing all your money. Worst case scenario, you have the BTC and no body will take those away from you either they are worth $1000 each or $20 each...
