Mining will mostly be dead by then, demand will have gone up and supply will be down. Acquiring will be much easier, and using will be much easier with additions such as address aliases. The unbanked in poor countries will be able to participate in online commerce easily, and for supply to go up, the decimal point must shift right to create enough of the currency to keep up with demand.

It will be at $500 per BTC by 2020. Mining will mostly be dead by then, demand will have gone up and supply will be down. Acquiring will be much easier, and using will be much easier with additions such as address aliases. The unbanked in poor countries will be able to participate in online commerce easily, and for supply to go up, the decimal point must shift right to create enough of the currency to keep up with demand.

I think as demand dwindles, as the original use-cases become less and less relevant, we should expect Bitcoin to hover around the cost of production, which I understand varies widely but is a little over a hundred bucks roughly. I don't expect to see 800 or 690 or 500 or whatever ever again.
definitely not this year. i can only see the price go to around $500 due to the block halving. demand currently is too low to come even close to $500. we do need to wait till after the halving.
I think it's most likely that a price of $500 will take place at some point around the halving that should take place in middle of 2016. Even if the actual reward change isn't a steep enough change to force an increase to $500, the speculation surrounding it will be, if even for a moment.
...and why do you think so ?
