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.
No one can predict bitcoin prices for the future and bitcoin does not always go up slowly. I'm sure the bitcoin will increase in price from year to year!
