There seems to be no end to the rise in Bitcoin. The technology is not useable for practical usage besides buying and holding. Perhaps future upgrades to BTC can change that but now it is to be considered the most mainstream currency and that is the only reason why it is still raising in price day in and day out.

There is so much fast money in BTC right now that once a much needed correction comes it will be brutal. It will sadly also be brutal for most other alts.
