One thing is that the past 21 months have been so fucking amazing - really from $250 to $4190 - and even the 80% increase in the past couple of weeks.
Amen to that. A life-changing 21 months.
AND THE BLACK MAN SAYS "PRAISE THE LAWD !!!"And the real amazing thing about Bitcoin is that this rocket is just getting off the launchpad. We haven't even broke free of the tower yet, if you consider the bigger picture.
Yep, and it's not at all surprising. To put things into perspective, Bitcoin hasn't even attained ...1% of gold's marketcap - which is the prime alternative to fiat as a store of value (excluding real estate).
In fact the entire bitcoin marketcap is worth just a few months of gold mining (annual production of 3200 tons is valued at ~135bn $). Again, Bitcoin's price seems high only due to the 21mn coins effect. Had it been, say, 21 billion coins, nobody would consider BTC having reached some kind of lofty target at ...4$. Yet things would be exactly the same, marketcap wise.
You seem to be asserting, in part, that bitcoin's value could be somewhere in the gold parity (john mcafee eat my dick) territory, and I think that there is some truth in that, and even with ongoing decent exponential adoption, if someone is actually good for his word, we are likely going to witness some dick eating because another 100x in 3 years, just seems way too astronomical - even though it could be more reasonably achievable in a longer period of time, maybe 10-ish years, possibly?
It is difficult to determine for sure in terms of how fast prices could rise, but there are likely to be continued bitcoin sabotage attempts in the coming years, and also manipulations to trick people out of their coins, and surely some kinds of greater developments of user-friendliness need to evolve in order for bitcoin to really achieve gold parity price territory, no?
