A little survey I read (and that was posted here not too long ago) put the average age of a bitcoin owner at right about 30 years old. Assuming it's true, lets add 20 years to it to give us the end of our investment horizon, giving us the year 2033. Most of us will be either about to retire, retired, or dare I say it, dead and gone by no later than that year.
How much do you think
BTC will be worth then? Unfortunately we are constrained by the fact that we do not know what global currency bitcoin will be benchmarked against in future (it may not be USD, hell,
BTC may be the de-facto global currency by then even) but for the sake of argument lets just use BTC/USD
I would like to think of this poll as an indicator of the how the bitcoin-savvy community thinks of where this new digital currency is headed, at any given point in time
You are allowed to change your vote in this poll when your opinion changes, so do so frequently. If everyone does this, the result of the poll will evolve to reflect changing market conditions, which makes it all the more interesting to followIf this thread lasts to 2033 we can even start seeing who was right in the end
(post your initial vote below, changing your vote in the poll above in the year 2032 to predict the price in 2033 doesn't give you true credit!)
I think
BTC in 2013 will be popular enough for everyone in the world to know and use from time to time, but not enough to create a new world order. Thus I value
BTC at about 5K USD per, by 2033. Feel free to post your vote and reasons below so the discussion keeps going.
