I tend to agree with you on a break-through that high, although I think it could easily be triggered by several things. Those would include the IMF approving a nation like China to declare their currency as Gold backed, which would immediately dethrone the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. Another trigger could be the breakout of war involving a nuclear exchange, in which case we're probably back to cave-man living. Under normal circumstances the more likely scenario is the U.S. dollar being devalued with an inverse relationship to bitcoin, and that could push it up to $10k.
