Will bitcoin worths $100.000 on 2019? I mean, seriously.

If it'll have a year like 2017, it will hit $100k mid 2018

Well, when this was written in 2013, the numbers for 2015 and 2017 probably provoked the same response (haven't read through the Reddit thread to check it). That being said, I'm with you in doubting Bitcoin will ever be worth $100,000.

  I'm expecting a 20k BTC before end of 2018. 100k BTC within 3 years.

  There are two ways to achieve that... either Bitcoin increases value or your "$" decreases value... I mean, 1 Bitcoin equals 10,775,501.53 South Korean Won

    Sure, but I just don't feel like either of those factors will be strong enough for Bitcoin and the US dollar to reach a 100k$ price.

That's $100,000 for anybody who's not insane. Seriously, why use the "decimal point" as a digit separator? You might as well start using Roman numbers too!

  In countries where the dot is used as the thousands separator, it is not a 'decimal point'. In fact, much of the world does NOT use . as a decimal separator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Hindu.E2.80.93Arabic_numeral_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Hindu.E2.80.93Ara...

    The number of countries using it does not justify the usage. I'm saying that the symbol "." is a decimal point in English. When writing English why won't you obey the rules of the language? Consider how Americans write dates MMDDYYYY. It's fucking stupid, no matter if 300 million Americans use it. Same deal with this.

      I'm not sure whether you're trolling or whether you truly don't understand the issue here, but your hostility is not only rude, it makes for an incredibly boring thread.

        I'm sorry if I came across as hostile or rude. I genuinely feel that using decimals as digit separators is distracting and technically wrong when you're writing English. Full disclosure since some people are assuming I'm an American imperialist: I am not an American, nor have I ever been to America.

        First, I don't care where you're from and I generally dislike engaging with people who will say things like "American imperialist", particularly when it relates to communications standards. Second, it's okay to have opinions, but in this case, groups with significantly more clout (ie - the Conference on Weights and Measures) disagree. In the early 2000s, the conference resolved that the symbol for the decimal marker could be either a period or a comma. Both are completely acceptable. The Conference on Weights and Measures also does not approve of the use of thousands separators, so technically, these are both correct: 1 000 000.25 1 000 000,25 But this is always wrong: 1,000,000.25

Why not? Why is my 50 cent investment in a wallet years ago suddenly worth 28 bucks?

  That's probably the wrong question. The right question is along the lines of: What makes you think that simply buying something such as Bitcoin at a particular "time" would lead you to becoming rich? Is there any basis in history for such an idea? The answer is a resounding "no"--at least not on the mass scale that we are experiencing right now. I have a friend who believes he is an Ethereum "multi-millionaiare." I keep telling him he's full of shit but he won't listen! There is no other explanation that this is a mania because in the past whereas some handful of people got rich through lucky market timing or inside information, there is no point in history where millions of people got rich by just buying a currency (or in this case, a pseudo-currency). Best of luck, though.
