Assuming you have $5000 worth of Bitcoin that's 25 bitcoins at the current $200 exchange rate.

So bitcoin has to go to $40.000 for you to become a millionaire.

Bitcoin at launch was $0.05. So value of bitcoin has doubled 12 times since launch, and the value of bitcoin has to double 8 more times for your to become a millionaire. So that's quasi-plausible. Not holding my breath, though :)

"At launch" it was worthless.
