There's a limit on the price not least because too much electricity would be used to mine the coins.
i.e. If BTC were to go to $500,000 in this era it would cause a catastrophic mining bubble:
$500,000 x 25 = $12,500,000 per block = $75,000,000 per hour
$75 million per hour would drive the mining to attempt to use 675 GW. This is about 30% of all the power generated on the planet.

There will be halvings so this will not become reality unless we hit the $500000/coin before end 2016.
At some point finding a block will be like winning the lottery.
