The price is high, but bitcoin is still not a reliable currency that could present an alternative to established currencies. It seems to be mainly used for speculation and illegal activities.
There are probably not more people using it to pay for real-world goods than 2-3 years ago. The bullish view was that bitcoin would be popular with the public at some point. That hasn't happened yet.
Reread your comment and look at the price of bitcoin. Perhaps your inference is upside down.
