Personally even if BTC goes to 10 000$ I don't have enough of them to buy a house. I want to buy a house this year, and it will cost about 270BTC at current value. If BTC was 10 000$ it would only be about 30BTC, but I don't hold 30BTC. I could buy 30BTC right now, but I think it will take years for BTC to go to 10K, if it ever happens, and I want the house right now.

I will keep several BTC, so that if it goes to 10K I'll be happy anyway, maybe buy me a Porsche with it !

Wow, you want to buy a house worth $300k? That's a big house, and a lot of money. If I were to buy a house it wouldn't even cost half of what you're paying. Houses in Europe are much cheaper, you can have a decent, spacious one, for just $100k. If you want to buy a good car don't choose a porsche, they are bad at turns and it's easy to lose control at high speeds. It's not very comfortable, expensive and bad to race with. Not worth the price.

That depends on where in your town you live and want to live and which county you live in etc. I live in a nice part of a relatively poor large city in northern England. Our current house is around 100sq meters with. No garden and worth £200,000. To get to 200sq m in our area with a largish garden for the kids (still walkable to shops, schools and parks) would cost a minimum of £600,000. Add to that you would have to pay 19-29% capital gains tax and then all of a sudden you need a lot of Bitcoins to buy a new house in my neighbourhoods of Europe.

When I can sell half my Bitcoins and move into the house I want to, I will seriously consider it. Until then I HODL. This may take a few more years lol.
