Yeah but slow and steady wins the race, I would rather we consolidate for a little bit after each jump than get too bubbly too fast...this could be the longest bull run of all time

Exactly. We need a slow build this time. We've got some good momentum going, but to your point, no hurry to get there.
In this for the long-haul.
That last run-up to $5k was irrational.
This run up to 5K may also be irrational with the segwit2 fork and other FUD to be tossed soon....so I'm assuming it will get to 5k ...people will break under that pressure and sell....like
the last time it was 5K and with the FUD on the forking and other spam ...we will slip back to 3.5k again and then repeat up to 5k ..hopefully as you say...more steady and sure
anyway, hope I'm wrong but how I see it playing out now
Yeah, now suddenly Russia is "banning bitcoin", just in time, hah. Anyways, going up and down is great fun. Soon I can afford to go to an actual roller coaster ride (I've never been in a proper one).
