I think there is good reason to believe that Bitcoin really already should be at $1000.

If you look at the behavior of miners with respect to hardware, they're already behaving as though BTC is worth about $1000. Granted some proportion of the hashing power being put online now are delayed pre-orders trying to recoup some of the sunk cost on what is already a negative ROI versus outright coin buying, but there are plenty of orders happening right now under very comparable return calculations. Are we to believe simply that all miners are just greedy delusional idiots?

The behavior of miners suggests to me that there is some inherent structural bottleneck right now artificially suppressing outright buying demand, probably something to do with the barrier of dealing with exchanges with national fiat (for example the delays in electronic transfers from conventional bank accounts is absolutely killer for anyone serious about trading). I think it's unreasonable to just assume that the higher level of anonymity inherent to mining (i.e. no "cash business" reporting requirements, etc.) supports that much of a premium.

I just had an idea Smiley Imagine a scenario when all bitcoin is intentionally destroyed via sending to trash wallet, but just a handful of coins remain, say 100 of them.

1000$ for 1 memorabilia btc Smiley Maybe in a golden hard coin form.

uhh why would this happen? it will never happen so there is not point thinking what if  Smiley

maybe - but that is not possible before the Bitcoin market consumes 21E12 €. Not sure where we are now - but the pure trading market is around 25E8 €. That means the market must grow by factor 10000 - not a small number.

factor 10000 is just 4 consecutive year increase by 10x. Given historial growth, it is very reasonable, but I understand exponentially growth cannot last forever...

I already like calculating my every transaction in satoshis.

I did that since bitcoin hit $10

It makes me feel rich as hell!

When bitcoin hits $1000 we'll throw large bitcoin parties all over the world!
That is certainly an optimistic way of looking at it.
Why not? Smiley

There is alot of volatility in Bitcoin. Im not certain it will I am however hopeful. I've been watching it for over 2 years now. Its been a roller coaster for sure.

Some unrelated things have caused it to crash have been resolved. With anything highly volatile there's great risks and great rewards.

I kick myself for not getting more involved earlier on. But had the 10 dollar coins I could have bought gone to 20 or 50 dollars I would likely have sold my position.

I think wider adoption will be a key motivator in the broader fiat value of the coin. A common but misunderstood philosophy is the coin itself is more valuable than fiat. I recognize this. I tried explaining this to my friend who kind of refuses to understand much of anything yet argues simply on the merits of having a point. I told him to put his money where his mouth is. He's since shut up now that Mt. Gox is trading at above historical levels.  Grin

So, in short I am going to work very hard at simplifying the coin and hopefully broadening the market that accepts it. I really feel bad for late coming miners duped by the asics that are now readily available and essentially killing the mining scene.

I just referred to the former posting from Gator-hex. My point of view is that there must be somebody investing the money into Bitcoin to blow up the value or the market has to adopt very fast which is so unlikely. So we will see the outsome after China and India are in.
I understand that. I was just pointing out that 1 satoshi being 1 cent is a possibility.

1000$ next year is nearly sure because not only China comes also India will adopt Bitcoins. Then the market size will be something like 1000 $ x 12E6  =  12E9 $  ~  9.65E9 €.
You do realize that considering the amount of people who have actually bought bitcoin or are using it is so small compared to the amount of people using the internet, that this growth factor is actually considered small?

Keep this in mind...

When 1 Satoshi (0.00000001BTC) = 1 cent

then

1BTC = $1million

One day we will buy our goods and services in Satoshis, not Bitcoins.  Wink

As far as I know from what I've read about bitcoins in general they will eventually reach a price possibly as high as $1000. There's no way of knowing for sure but as there are a limited supply of them you never know. I'm going to keep ahold of 10-20 of them for a few years and see what the price is like. Might make me a few thousand or cost me a few thousand. Will just have to wait and see :p

And now bitcoin has hit $300 USD, that is amazing...  Most of us weren't expecting that until next year o.O
I guess the chinese really love bitcoin.  I think bitcoin might hit $1000 in a year or two at this pace.
