There's been plenty of ups and downs, and there probably will be more ups and downs. But its up to you of course to decide if you want to keep buying bitcoin at its current price or not. I for one am not selling anymore BTC at this moment.

Any past attention from regulating bodies towards Bitcoin has with great majority resulted into expression of interest in the technology by regulators and intermittant let go and watch until further investigations would be conducted in other instances Bitcoin has actually been given official recognition by being regarded as money, currency or a taxable good.
What?

Runon sentence much?

The guy said attempts at regulation resulted in higher prices.

He didnt say any accomplished regulation.

check out the multiple threads on the subject in this section

ie; beyond silkroad, bitcoin foundation, coin validation etc.

Historically, attempts at regulating bitcoin (and indeed other commodities, etc) in the past have actually led to significant price increases, not the other way round. The more the US gov acknowledges that is actually a real thing, actually worthy of regulation, the more attractive it becomes to less technical minded, conservative investors.

Can you provide examples?

Any past attention from regulating bodies towards Bitcoin has with great majority resulted into expression of interest in the technology by regulators and intermittant let go and watch until further investigations would be conducted in other instances Bitcoin has actually been given official recognition by being regarded as money, currency or a taxable good. Thus, there was no real regulation so far only legitimacy boosts and public attention to the topic. This is positive for price.

If there were to be concrete regulations to be layed upon Bitcoin it might hamper price appreciation because it would add some dose of reality to the best possible outlook for the currency users were allowed to hope for and assume so far.

I bought in to the bitcoin hype back in the summer of 2011 and also rode the rollercoaster down with the crash. We have also seen other bitcoin price crashes: the April 2013 run-up and crash, the Silk Road seizure in October of 2013.

Yet we again find the price of bitcoin running up. What event or events could cause this bubble to burst? How far down could it go?
