Yes. And given a few more years, I can also see it hitting over $1000.

Here's why: Bitcoin has everything to become a new major worldwide money & payment standard. It has enormous benefits (e.g. see here or here) and greatly fits with the uprise of information technology and the integration of internet in our everyday lives. At the same time, banks and governments are trying hard to destroy our existing euro and dollar based economy, undermining it with ridiculous credits, loans, creation of money out of thin air by the billions, and covering debts with even greater debts, ad infinitum.

Now, do the math: how much do you think is one 21millionth of the global economy (at least the part that deals in BTC) worth?

Sure, banks will disapprove. They see their old-fashioned wealth, monopolistic position, power and privileges melt away. Well, tough luck. It's the age of the internet, we don't need banks anymore to handle our wealth and payments. They can't put the genie back in the bottle.

The times they are a changin'.  Cheesy
