It's pointless to assume we will not see three figure prices again. It has been proven that the $1000 level is far from a stable price to settle at. Maybe that due to the actions against leverage trading in China we'll see the volatility decline quite a bit, but it's still Bitcoin that we're talking about. Who on earth expected the price to dive below $200 (it went to sub $160) in 2015 after it peaked at around $1160. It's a decline of around $1000!
The 2013 scenario was an unique one. Consider all the variables that contributed to that:
1) MT Gox was the only exchange in the world
2) MT Gox was shown to be a fraud, fake volume everywhere etc
3) The software was not as advanced as it is today
4) Infrastructure was overall weak
List goes now. Now we are safe from all the bullshit. We have several different exchanges, the software is robust, and we got rid of the stupid chinese.
Only up now.
