It is going to rise, till some hacker dumpsall of his hacked coins, then people gonna panic and the price will stay low for a time. then it will rise again. this is the routine with bitcoin charts

How we can say that there would be some routine hackers always the to dump some bitcoins at end of all the bumps. It is usual bitcoin users who want to trade time to time to make some profits. So, there will be very less chances for bitcoin prices continuously rising.

You are right, many people are only aiming for short-term target like $500 or $1000 or $1200. They never forget ( or even ignore ) about the real potential of bitcoins. In my opinion bitcoin prices will keep on raising but in long term.

Exactly. The potential of bitcoin is not a figure. The potential of bitcoin is freedom, Financial freedom. Out of the claws of the governement and the banks. They been controlling us for centuries now and bitcoin their goal will be futile.

Governments and banks aren't some mysterious thingies from another Universe. They are controlled by a relatively small group of people. The same fate awaits Bitcoin if it ever grows into a thingie of that scale. There is no financial freedom for everyone, since it is only possible as long as there is financial slavery, i.e. freedom of some people at the expense of others...

All animals are equal, but some animals are definitely more equal than others

Wow! that was deep, I almost cannot comprehend it. Anyway, I know that there is a monopoly in our economy because our government are corrupt, they just serve the public by name but they actually do it for their personal interest. Just like they say that there is not permanent friends in politics by only personal interest. In bitcoin, I believe it is not corrupt, the price appreciation of bitcoin are driven by the majority of holders and not only by the whales.
