Does anyone realistically think that Bitcoin will ever reach $50k? Don't get me wrong, I'd be more than happy if it reach even 1 zillion but...

I've watched it go from .01 to .1 to 1 to 10 to 100 to 1000. I think we can all agree that Bitcoin is far from everywhere, so the next step to 10,000 is almost assured. After that, we're just half a step away from 50k. The odds of that happening are pretty good!

You are right and it is crazy to think we might be looking to a price of 50k$ in a bit!

10BTC would mean you can buy a small but nice house with a nice location

It's nice to read this!
You guys the bitcoin dinossaurs really must have a totally different view that the majority of all this.

Bitcoin will reach $50,000 shortly before is costs $50,000 to mine one.

Now this could make some sense. I heard right now it cost around 300-400 to mine (electricity etc).
so price is around here (a little higher)

So are you saying it cost over $1000 to mine a Bitcoin last year?


I was going to add that it cost around 300-400 (and rest speculation). Yes but you are correct when you imply that sometimes the price does not necessarily occur within what it cost to mine.

After your comment, I realized that it is clear that other factors affect the price as well (such as china panic buying).

If BTC hits 50k, what do you think the price of gold and silver would be at? How about gas or milk? I think we'd be living in some pretty fucked up times unfortunately.

2095 will reach 50k
wont edit this post as i will be dead on that time lol

Are you sure that the US Dollar will not become extinct before that date? It will be better to measure the value of Bitcoin in gold or some other form of wealth than measuring it in the US Dollar. Let's say that in 2095, 1BTC will be equal to 1kg of gold.  Grin

but in 2095 gold may be considered a completely worthless entity....just like sea shells used to be the most valuable traded currency in ancient times..

so maybe in 2095 1 btc will be worth 1 litre of pure water  Smiley

Gold has been around for thousands of years...

I have seen several (somewhat) convincing arguments that $50,000, and much higher, is possible within 1 or 2 years, but I think 3, 4 or 10 years is fast enough.
@bryant.coleman Good point about gold, someday BTC/gold will (probably) be the standard way to value/chart Bitcoin prices.

Gold is manipulated.

The mining fee would be ridiculous at this rate. Every transaction would cost a lot.

In reality, not.  The USD value of Bitcoins doesn't impact anything related to mining other than how many miners try to pile on board.  The increase in the number of miners would mean difficulty going up, which would mean more expensive mining hardware and more electricity.  Miners would continue to make about the same amount of money after we come to an equilibrium, and users of Bitcoin would not be paying any additional costs for transactions.  Makers of mining hardware would enjoy the boon as well as Bitcoin speculators.

The potential of Bitcoin is still tremendous. 24/7 unblocked low charge instant payments are here to stay. The disintermediate nature of the Internet will also capture the world of finance and take a part of the payment business. If Bitcoin continues to survive, $50k is still in the cards.

That is the hope, Bitcoin is a great protocole that solves tens of problems; the banking system sometimes feels very slow and inconvenient compared to Bitcoin

2095 will reach 50k

I find it interesting that nobody seems to understand that it's somewhat completely arbitrary what the value of each Bitcoin might be. It's like asking questions like: Do you really think people will even spend a trillion dollars on website names (in total). Do you really think a single website could be worth a billion dollars?! etc..

Bitcoin is has been around $1000 with almost zero adoption (.3%). I think this all has to do with people thinking in terms of 'a single bitcoin' but honestly like stock splits one day we will probably talk about millibits or Satoshis. Do you ever think a Satoshi will be worth 10 cents!? (That would make a bitcoin worth $10,000,000)

When Bitcoin hits 10,000 we will probably opt to start referring to things in millibits on exchanges and forums and questions like this will seem silly. If it takes over several markets and is ever used as a store of value like Gold, then yes 50,000 doesn't even seem strange. Without all of the splits microsoft has had, how much would a single stock be worth?  (looks like $8,000 now, and $17,740 at its highest) It's the splits that confuse people , back then talking about a single share ever reaching  $17,740 would have seemed silly.

The value of all bitcoins isn't totally arbitrary, it is a function of supply and demand

can someone tell me in pm when it will reach 50k, defeats the purpose if everyone knows..
come on.. someone.. be a pal!!
