Yeah, don't think too long before you regret it in the end because of bitcoin price changes so fast and big. I also never thought the movement of bitcoin in 1 year almost 900% so buy now and wait for another surprise
Some people think that the price of Bitcoin is affected by "speculators" and that their manipulations is what makes it either rise or fall. But I agree with what you said. IMO the constantly increasing demand for BTC is the main reason for the price rising. Since most people still don't use Bitcoin we can expect big rise in the future.
