putting my investor hat on, i would say definitely fad this bitcoin move. the 4 most dangerous words in investing are: This time is different. and i've seen plenty of that coming out of bitcoin bull.
It's not so much an assumption as it is considering the best case scenario. If I were to assume it would fail, I would have sold at $1000 or whatever. I'm not in it to make a quick buck, I am in it because I believe in the system, and it is part of several things that are going to change in our lifetime (hopefully)
