500$ btc when?
Probably as a result of the block reward halving, so in the summer. Nobody can unequivocally tell you that though.
Yeah...... I agree generally summer-ish.
Based on current market dynamics, I would predict going above $500 to be anywhere between 1 day and 2 years.
In my current thinking, the range of probabilities of going above $500 would look something like this.
1-5 days = less than 2%
6-15 days = less than 8%
16-30 days = about 20%
31-60 days = about 30%
61-120 days = about 50%
121-364 days = about 80%
1 year to 2 years = about 95%
Any better predictions?
By the way, I would think that at this current moment and these current market conditions, most regular and somewhat knowledgable bitcoiners would also place the odds of bitcoin prices going above $500 first to be better than the odds of going below $300 first, but I'm sure that there are a number of outlier opinions on that.
