Bitcoin will never reach 100 billion if you people would listen to me and STOP BUYING ASICS.  But if you are stupid and foolish with your money and keep buying them, the difficulty will rise.

Approx 5 mo IF difficulty rise is limited to 20%/mo average, which is realistic, in my opinion.

it aint realistic at all ...

others, including myself, seem to agree on 5-6 mo, maybe 4 if BTC price skyrockets upwards or >6 if it plunges.
What is your number?

I agree with this.  I am hopeful of 5-6 months, but wouldn't be surprised with 4 months if the price were to climb from here.

It is more likely that it will be approx. 180 days.

 The price of btc makes an exact guess very hard.  If coins go to 600 or 700 usd it will speed up.  Maybe they do it in under 4 months.

Approx 5 mo IF difficulty rise is limited to 20%/mo average, which is realistic, in my opinion.

4% a jump = 338 days
5% a jump = 294 days
6% a jump = 214 days
7% a jump = 186 days
8% a jump = 158 days
9% a jump = 144 days
10% a jump = 130 days

from june 29th 2014 to today nov 9 2014   about 134 days     we have averaged around  9.2%  .   So if we drop a little to 7 or 8% 160-190 days. or 5 ⅓ to 6  ⅓ months

I used  https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator   I did diff jumps not months.    so your 5 month  is close to my 160 day guess. 

I don't see 3 months or 8 months     but we only can guess.

Well the difficulty right now is about 39 billion so it probably won't drop to 10 billion, ever.

Yea my bad, 100 Billion *
