I don't think it will get there either, but then again, I don't remember anybody thinking it would get to $1200 when it was hovering around $100 @ silk road bust, bubble, bot or not.

I realise you're thinking this run, but longer timeframe, for example, I think of how many people know about bitcoin, how many think it is a scam, how many hold gold, how many are searching for yield and / or quick gains, how many want to send money overseas cheaper than they can now, and how many will look to convert their local currency into something if the SHTF.

That's the piecemeal potential market mix right there.
