I think I got it right! maybe your google search fluctuate or got a bug on it or something? or google was trying to work on it first or maybe the price was changing when you are searching for it, well we can not know for sure, But I think you try to search it again maybe it goes back to normal!

These prices are not made by Bitcoin going up but Euro going down. Euro is one of the worst currencies out there because it's based on many member countries. Many countries mean many problems and if one of the links in the chain breaks... Euro could lose its value very fast and become worth just a few satoshis.

Really, that's the cause for this price?
Then i'm making you and offer that you can't refuse. How about I sell you 1 btc for 60 000 euros?
That's 20 times as cheap as the price above!

I'm sure you're not going to cling to that worthless euro.

I said that "Euro could lose its value very fast and become worth just a few satoshis" which doesn't mean that it's worthless now, but could be and most likely will be.
I wish I had 60000 in cash and if I did I'd buy cryptocurrencies, of that I can assure you. Even if I had that much right now, why would I give it to you for 1 Bitcoin? I could unload it to an exchange and get BTC55 at current prices.

I think Google collect bitcoin price from many different sites and show up it in results.It is possible that there were some error on the website where the price was collected during last price update.
Has op repeated the search after few hours and got the same results?

i dont think bitcoin can go there far up if you understand the scaling issues

if the scaling issues are settled bitcoin can easily reach that.

Perhaps even as high as $10 million per coin or so.

But obviously it would take time.

However, the very same week or at most month the blocksize debate is resolved, the price of bitcoin will surely be over $10,000.

Ah really? Is it really that easy for Bitcoins to go that far in a minimal amount of time without any efforts?
Even if the scaling issues would get resolved, are we too much into media as well as did bitcoin get the whole world's acceptance yet?
The growth that is coming is from different users coming in, but do you really think that the price may go to a million without any strong reasons?

It is unlikely that the price is going to reach 1M dollars per coin any time soon (if ever)

Unless the US dollar itself crashes that low of course, but that seems even less likely to happen (or more unlikely). On the other hand, 10K dollars per coin is quite possible within a year. With rough estimates, it means expansion of Bitcoin user base around 8 times. If disputes over Bitcoin future development get finally settled and, more specifically, in favor of off-chain transactions (since this is the only viable alternative to scale up Bitcoin in any meaningful way), we could get there pretty fast once people see the advantages of instant payments via Bitcoin with small or no fees. And that will as well put an end to endless disputes over buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks, which would also be a good thing on its own

Nah even thats not going to happen, max a pump to $2500.
You cant expect to have 10 times the money flowing into bitcoin because the scaling issue is solved.
Impossible to occur in just weeks.
It wil moon for sure but to reach 10k it will take years.

Indeed, such prices will be impossible to reach within weeks in a consistent and meaningful manner

But there still might be a few spikes in pretty much that range, for example, in cases when there is not enough liquidity in the orderbooks on the Sell side, and someone deciding to buy out the orderbook till the very bottom. Obviously, that would mean nothing. That said, if you mean by scaling issues solved instant transactions implemented (like what LN or similar approaches do), it is as clear that it will take some time till these payment methods get properly tested and bugs fixed (that would require some time), but when they finally get firmly established, we may in fact see an exponential price growth and then we could get there (i.e. prices in many thousands) literally within weeks (due to explosive adoption)

I think they just had a small glitch in the Matrix and the system did not see the comma in the conversion to EUR. If you take out the comma, you

end up with a conversion of 5 793 000 EUR, which is much closer to the amount that it should be. In a few years this will not be strange at all,

because we all know this thing is going to the Moon. Wink

Maybe it is the regional settings in your computer that google uses and maybe you belong to the countries that uses period as comma and comma as period in decimal places and so google interprets your number as thousands. Anyway, one look and you know that it is not real price, not even as future price.

Lol good luck with that. Why dont you just buy bitoins with fiat money and hodl? Much higher ROI man, and no high investment risks. Only the volatility risk what is high enough in my opinion.

Well basically I did end up holding my few BTC until they were worth something. Although I've spent some in a lawsuit against LTCgear, which is also likely a lost cause. Most of it I have to blame myself. I let greed control my decisions. If I learn not to do that, then the education will have been cheap.

Anyway, who knows ... ten years down the rode we might see those $11500 / BTC. Maybe even sooner.

Yeah, what is so wrong with "," as thousand separator and "." as decimal point? I don't get why people have to create some sort of variation with the way we type numbers. Now even google is confused what to use. Instead of seeing a single digit number with multiple numbers after the decimal, it actually interpreted it as a number in the thousands. Can everyone stop using "," as a decimal point?! That is why it is called a decimal point because it has a "point"

Great idea, but nothing will change too soon.

Scaling issue is not technical problem. It is political case, when one party is stubborn enough to block every other way of fixing problems.

It is a hot topic and flavour of the month kind of thing, not something that we will be remembering 10 years in the future.

10 years ago we didn't have bitcoin and now it is worth more than $1000, temporary scaling issue is not gonna stop the revolution.

I initially thought it was an April Fool's Day prank too. But when I searched about google and bitcoin pranks there is no source which mention it.
So either it was so next level that no one (almost no one, considered that we are discussion it) noticed it or it was a mistake on google's part.

Or... google secretly has invented a time machine and gave us a glimpse into the future, 10 years ahead when BTC will reach that price for real!

Regarding decimal point (or dot), it is used to separate the fractional part of a number from the rest, and as such it is used both in America and in Europe, so I don't see any point (pardon the pun) of arguing over this issue. It is obvious that the notation is the same in the query and reply, so if you omit the possibility of photoshopping, the only viable alternative is Google throwinga joke. In fact, I expected exchanges to come up with something like this on April 1

Never thought of this as a joke because of April the 1st. This was actually a tab in my Firefox browser that got restored from previous a session when I started the browser. And I'm not exactly sure if it happened on April the 1st anyway, perhaps a day later.

Well let's hope the price posted by OP will be real in the future but I think us seeing it 5 years later from now is a bit too early unless bitcoin is used daily as one of the accepted payment methods when shopping by that time.

Google's value of bitcoin is quite the right one. In common most of the time the price of bitcoin displayed in Google and other exchange websites were just an average of a list of exchange service providers. So now getting closer to $1150 seems to be a good growth for bitcoin after a fall.

Google didn't confuse. The European standard is to use decimals (.), whereas the English / American standard is to use commas.
If the conversion was into USD instead of EUR, the OP would have got the correct answer.

Nope. Tried it and I got 5000 something. Are you from the US or EU? Guessing it's EU so Google changed it for him. Or perhaps it's that's how much Bitcoin will be worth in the next century
