I don't see bitcoin exceeding expectations of many hopeful investors. I see a trend. Bitcoin is merely used to trade against altcoins with a goal to increase satoshi value. I dont see the masses investing in bitcoin as a primary hold, more so being bought as a pass through. But to hold true to this bitcoin would need to sustain a healthy price. I speak for people who can't afford to make a worth while substantial investment in bitcoin and i dont see the average masses re mortgaging their homes to do so. Until then, altcoins will see exponential growth in the coming months or years. Also, im not discounting institutional investors. That's a different ball game.
