I see a lot of obsession with price on these forums. In my opinion, price is a distraction from BTC becoming a success. I measure BTC success on ease of use, levels of adoption, and scalability. Along with decentralization, these should be our obsession.
I also think we should keep the original goals in mind. We need to undermine and even destroy the relationships banks have wirh governments. Let's not forget they are the engine of elitism.
I'd rather see $100 btc that is accepted by millions of retailers and is used regularly than a million doller BTC that is a false store of value.
How do you measure the success of BTC?
Well we can not define or measure BTC's success exactly, yet we can use some general standards for that purpose;
1. Note the increase in BTC's market share.
2. Note the changes in customers involvement.
3. Visualize the improvements in the processes and operations.
4. Check for the improvements in management and development.
These are just based on my personal idea.
