By 2020, I think you'll be a millionaire with one tenth of that. 2020 should bring Bitcoin somewhere close to $100,000 in today's value. Even if I'm wrong by a factor of 2 or 3, I'll still be very happy about it

You should be realistic. That's only possible if the exponential growth of the past years can keep up. Considering the market cap that comes with it, I would count on being a millionaire by 2020 with 10 coins.

YOu mean you wouldn't, right?

I'm a pretty big dreamy bull, but I wouldn't either. I wouldn't completely discard the possibility, I think it's more likely than winning the jackpot in a national lottery. But 100 coins >= 1M USD isn't that farfetched, and about as likely as guessing a dice roll, IMO. Maybe even more than that.

I think btc will reach about $500 sustained price by 2020. The more people that are made aware of its possibilities usually end up at least trying out the service. I would imagine at least half of it continue their research for years to come with btc.
