Yeah, it's a huge milestone. However since there are restrictions in money transfer overseas in korea if i remember correctly, this price isn't really the "real" bitcoin price. We're still yet to hit that amount in domestic exchanges.
I'd say that by the end of the year we'll settle on $10k as a nice floor, and price being around $12-13k.
No idea what's going to happen to BTC price next year, though.
I just discovered and i think i now have a new exchange site. Because if S.korea has that highest price then that would mean they are on of the big fish on bitcoin and their are many investors in that country. Fork has not yet appeared and the price is already achieving high standards.
