Nobody really believes this could happen. Don't get me wrong it is a good thing and hopefully we will reach 50k, and even 100k or 500k. I would love it because I have some bitcoins, probably would be my retirement if we reach 500k to be fair.
In fact, you may never retire because after all, the more money you have, the higher your desires. 
We will never get rich overnight unless we are too lucky. $50K is a possibility which is currently still expected to happen throughout the year, but I assume that's a bit too far for now. I wouldn't think $100K would be achievable over the next 5 months, but in the next 2-3 years it's always possible.
Probably retire with his usual day job because he can live with the money he has earn through accumulating bitcoin in years. $50k is possible, I mean we have reach that price already even $60k, it's that we experience the bear market and that's it.
We are again being challenge, patience to wait in the next 2-3 years for the next bull run and see $50k, $500k or more.
