I would be happy if the bitcoin price would increase to 500 but at the rate that it is going there is still a slim chance it might happen as it is already at 460 which is the highest it ever has been in a long time.
We ll see $600 soon, I have no doubt about it. The problem is that with the price going up, there s less and less chance to stash a specific amount of BTC. So, in a way we all hope for the price increase while we all understand the fact it s going to be harder and harder to gather BTC after the halving.
