I think if bitcoin rose quite steadily and slowly people wouldn't look at the best cryptocurrency with an "evil eye". Going forward, do you think a slow steady rise, rather than a speedy erratic rise is good for bitcoin to get "accepted" all over the world? The sudden rise seems to scare people and governments.
Before 2017 the pump that occurred by huge investors did a great lose to bitcoin holders especially those who were naive to know that wasn't the real price of bitcoins. Now is the real price of bitcoins , it should be increasing at a slower rate based on mining difficulties and other factors but not the way it did last year.
