Getting the market to smash through the $3000 mark is just a first step. Second step is maintaining it for (initially) a semi longer period of time.

People shouldn't forget that in about 3 months from now, there potentially is hard fork that might put the market a few steps back since it is very likely that this hard fork will lack major support.

It basically means that we yet again will face a period of uncertainties. If that plays no longer a role of importance, we finally can move forward without thinking about anything related to scaling (at least for a few years).
