It's a fun pastime going through old bitcointalk threads for price predictions on BTC, and comparing it to current DRK predictions. Keep this in mind when people tell you to sell DRK now.
Here is one from July 2012 "When will bitcoin hit $100":

Chances are generally very low for 1 BTC = $100. Unless the dollar goes nuts (which, in fact, has high chance) ...
uh oh, these threads again
Yup looks bullish to me
time to sell
and then there's the cooler heads...

I honestly don't think so - even all the political and philosophical aspects aside, Bitcoin has the potential to be one of the most efficient online payment systems. Within the next 1-2 years I expect the scalability issues to be
solved and some more
advanced features to be implemented. Together with many new competing Bitcoin payment providers similar to Bit-Pay who enable cheap and easy integration for merchants who still want to get fiat, Bitcoin is pretty much bound to reach a non-negligible market share in the realm of online/mobile/micro- payments. To facilitate only 1% of those huge markets would require one Bitcoin to be worth > 100 USD. Add in some speculators/investors and you'll get there even faster.
Of course there's all kinds of possible roadblocks (mainly increasing regulatory intervention) but so far Bitcoin has turned out to be very resilient even in really rough times and it may well turn out to prevail against even more serious attacks.
