Bitcoin prices are increasing rapidly over the last few days which is the very good sign for the future of bitcoins. If the price of the bitcoins keeps on increasing with the same pace then very soon the golden days of 2013 will be back, this will build and increase the trust for the bitcoins among the people.
The golden days of 2013 were very bad for the bitcoin for the next 20 months. We want steady rise, not pump and dump.
Absolutely. Huge volatility in price is good for traders and holders, but not much else. If we want Bitcoin to play a significant and legitimate role in the future, it needs to be understood that we need to build practical uses outside of speculation, which huge volatility makes difficult.
