This is quite simple. I can't even recall how many times I've had to say this around here.
Merchant adoption =/= price growth. General population adopting = price growth.
Why is that you ask? Usually when merchants accept Bitcoin they are either converting (i.e. selling) most of their Bitcoins for fiat, or even all of them. It is rare to find merchants that do not operate with fiat at all.

This shows that investments are coming in but the valuation is still getting manipulated a lot due to which the percentage of price increase is in negation.

Sooner or later price will catch up with fundamentals.

Who would have imagined investment in Bitcoin technology of that magnitude three years ago? Not to mention the brain drain from leading corporations in favor of Bitcoin. Such developments will not take place without having effects.

And Wallstreet has not even joined the party...

I've been waiting for such an article that will sum up information regarding this matter. The infrastructure is being developed and investments are flowing in rapidly.
Hopefully we will see investments come near $1B in 2015.

Yesterday CoinDesk presented really nice piece of analytics of different aspects of Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2015 (compared to the last quarter of 2014).

86 slides compare wide range of subjects, from media attention, adoption to VC investments and regulations.

Apparently Q1 2015 noted record VC investments (mostly due to 21 Inc).
