Is XMR's rise too much, too soon? It would have been better if the rise was slow ...

That's the nature of the animal. Wishing won't change that. Price was too low, so it had to go up. There were 2.5 years to bid it up, but no one could be bothered.

It will happen again and again. As with bitcoin, so with Monero, only faster. Much faster.

This is not true at all, if you remember there was a push by those that were trying to hold the line and have the emission cut because of the constant attacks and dumping. All the true believers took a beating or if they could afford to just threw their holdings in cold storage. Those without deep pockets got burned repeatedly over the years of manipulation and now deep pockets have moved in and orchestrated a long shakeout. It took me over a year just to break even and even after I divested I kept a node going. It would have been smarter to have dumped and grabbed ETH and ride that train and then get in again with the profits from that but that would have entailed jumping on a scam ICO and idealism was incompatible with that move. The big money and insider knowledge won again.
