Looking at the stats there has been no progress since May...
It's Bitstamp and nothing else...

Bitcoin had similar volume when it was new, severely undervalued, and not really ready for mainstream use.

Edit:

Also, at the the time, bitcoins were traded mostly on Mt.Gox (Magic the Gathering Online Exchange) and you were considered foolish if you actually thought it was a good idea to buy them.

You are aware that (I) this is an anecdote (ii) Bitcoin's history was exceptional and (iii) Occam's razor points to a different conclusion?

I'm pointing out that, based on Quantplus's criteria, bitcoin also could have been considered a failure when it was at a similar stage of development.
