Um well, maybe it'll achieve that everyone's curbing their expectations, which might be a nice thing, but apart from that how would this help Bitcoin? If it was still growing, we'd see a slower growth, but still a growth, effectively. Traders will also continue trading and speculating! I think a sharply rising price may is good for Bitcoin as it attracts the media, which is undoubted good news.
