What actually matter is not the actual price, it's the trend.
If the price is stable or rising, the adoption increases. People and businesses get more confident in bitcoin and start using it. More miners start up their gears.
If the price is falling, people get scared / suspicious and will go away from bitcoin.
Why do you think bitcoin is trending now in social medias?It is the price actually who makes it very popular.Before on 2009 or even 5 years ago,does anyone here knows the effect of bitcoins in our daily life?The answer is NO not until the price grows big especially on 2017.It brings hope during the times of crisis.And people realizing it that this coin has a big impact in our daily life.They thought that this would be a good source of income.So I guess the price matters first before it trends.
