Bitcoin was in some aspect created to act as a hedge against inflation. More or less it's value was supposed to go up as FIAT value goes down.
Since Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency designed to give us complete control over our assets, no government regulatory agency or financial institution may regulate or control the Bitcoin price in the same way that they do for FIAT currency.
What am I missing here?
I can't say but you need adequate trust and knowledge about what exactly the meaning of Bitcoin is, in order to give yourself hope that something will surely come our way somedays once we believe in Bitcoin and keep Holding our Bitcoin for such time.
or is the best yet to come?
The best is yet to come because many investors have placed their faith in Bitcoin by investing large sums of money in Bitcoin; small investors are also waiting for the best time. I have the impression that the journey has only just begun because Bitcoin has a long way to go before it is accepted globally as a means of exchange.
