That is something else optimistic is giving him credit. lol if I had a dollar for every time I have heard the change in sentiment I would own hundreds of bitcoins. There is nothing changing just a few dollars up and a few dollars down.
OP I have doubts we will see the $1000 again it looks to much like a pump and dump just one that still has new fools arriving to keep it from dumping the last stretch even faster than it is. I would love to be proved wrong so I can cash in some of my coins at a lovely rate, let's see.
There'll come a day where it has to put up or shut up.
A rise to $1000 or above that turns into another epic and endless dump isn't going to inspire all the people who've invested and worked so hard to make it attractive to users, let alone any potential users themselves.
I think it needs to prove to the world that it does have some genuine legs in the next few years or its advocates are going to fade away.
