@acidyo, my edited submission:

"Polynomials can be used to approximate complicated curves"
By placing your numbers as points on a graph:
1, 20
2, 320
3, 1000
4, 900
5, 1800
6, 3900
7, 16000
8, ?
9, ?
We can enter the data into an interpolating polynomial online calculator like https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=interpolating+polynomial+calculator&lk=3
and get a graph like this

then use the interpolating polynomial of that graph:

and replace "x" with 8 and 9 to get an approximation of the next 2 numbers in series
However, since this is only a highly complicated estimate for a pattern that is probably way more simple, I'm rounding the equation up to thousands to match the previous 3 data sets:

80000, 312000

Entry saved. I will reveal what the numbers mean a bit later, feel free to share this post with more participants in the mean time. :)

@acidyo my best guess is that these numbers have to do with bitcoin

But I can't seem to find a correlation of where you got all 7 numbers from. Since these prices can not be separated by a fixed amount of time, it has to be either tied to days of high volume (seem to be very close) or total price changes of corrections (also very close)

wow, you got very close to figuring out what they represented. I'll make an updated post soon explaining what exactly they meant and what people were guessing and the prizes involved. Thanks for taking the time to try and figure it out. :)

@acidyo I’m glad! I definitely see the point your trying to make. Very creative!
