We all wanted high price, higher than 1000$ and got it, we got even 19k and there people were hoping more than 20K, they think like it's infinitive.
Did so high price do a good job? No, higher satoshi/byte fees became even higher in value because of price rise, some exchangers closed registration and etc. In reality there was no need of 19k but I think currently it's best to see price between 5000-8000$. There isn't so much demand.
You want high price to get much from holding? Seems you hang on bitcoin and are only selfish.
Interesting question and when I'm looking at myself, I think the answer is selfishness.
I have x bitcoins and I like to see it high, as big amount, compared to usd. Or even when we are comparing ourselves to friends with corporate career and asking ourselves did we make the right choice?
