Nah, I want 10k because its a nice round number for calculations.
What about other fiat currencies? Euro, Pound, Yuan, Yen, price of BTC is different in each of them.
Currency exchange calculations will never be unified and easy.
Well, it takes a very long time. $ 3000 is not a small price, especially bitcoin prices have just reached the price of $ 1000 more and stable this year. It may take several years until bitcoin prices reach that price.
In 2013 Bitcoin rose from $15 (price in January 2013) to $979 (price in November) we might have another surprisingly high spike in the future as well.
