They are not intending to achieve a precise multiple as that would look too staged. They simply want it to be a number high enough to be worth all the effort in planning and execution. So anything in the range of what is a 20 to 30-fold multiple of the current price is the ballpark they seek to achieve. So his number fits in range and is a fair expectation for planning purposes. For psychological effect, a $50,000 or greater price is desirable in terms of shock value and to serve as a contrast to the value of the dollar and other fiat currencies, so we see that as at least the desired floor in price per ounce. What multiple that represents will then will depend on the spot price the day before.
