Can't remember any serious talks about 1k and that would be / was much more crazy than 10k talks are now. IMO.
This might be a more insightful description. There were no serious talks. This is the same as saying that nobody was taking these posters seriously. I'm sure some of the posters themselves were serious in their belief that $1000 was coming, but there wasn't anyone else willing to enter a discussion with those types.
