I expect bitcoin to crash and burn at some point. But that is because I think bitcoin has flaws that make it likely to be replaced by future crypto-currencies, or possibly something weirder. Until those currencies exist and gain traction however, bitcoin is going to get bigger. A lot bigger. I don't think this is even that stupid a time to buy, I strongly suspect that there is at least another 10x growth still there, a $10,000 bitcoin price within 3 years would not shock me at all.
