This is an important concept that many people don't realize in many aspects of life.  For example, take fitness.  If you are out of shape, and decide to get *in-shape*, consider that it not only won't be an overnight deal.  You will slowly pass through every shape in-between your current flabby self and the final chiseled and gorgeous new-you.  
  
And risto is dead-on:  If you honestly believe that Monero will one day be $2000 each (even if it takes us to 2020 to get there), then it will have to hit all new highs at every price between this one and that... sometimes even rapidly.  There will come a day quite soon when Monero will hold steady at $2 each and we will marvel.  Then we will be shocked when it crests $10 and we imagine that surely it will drop back down (just as they did with the original Bitcoin).  Then it will cross $50, $100, and even $500.  
  
Every single price level seems impossible, until it's reality.  6 months ago, we had $200 bitcoins and 35 cent Monero.  If I had told you that by Valentine's Day of '16 we'd have $400 bitcoins (actually down from a higher high) and Monero flirting with the dollar mark, you might not have believed me.  But that's our reality now.  
  
So too will $900 bitcoins and $7 Moneros one day be our reality. (possibly sooner than we expect).
