Don't want to sound negative, but we're seeing what the growth in spikes is doing to Bitcoin. Although developments are going on, looking at the price between November 2017 to November 2018 one has to really wonder if any real adoption did happen in this time frame or just mere speculation. Speculators don't care about utility, volatility is what matters to them and a highly speculative Bitcoin market would simply be prone to crashes at regular intervals making it not even a reliable store of value.

What we need is a steady sustainable growth based on functionality and utility which would minimize the speculative/risk factors making Bitcoin more suitable for wider adoption.
