I feel like this may have been the last upswing this big. A lot of regular folks are going to get burned, and they're not going to forget. The societal consensus 6 months from now will be that Bitcoin Was A Scam, and that'll depress speculative potential.

Which is a good thing, insofar as Bitcoin may actually have a future as a currency. But a bad thing for HODLers.
