Yes. The price of the bitcoin had to reach upto what it is now someday , but what surprised is how quickly it reached to the price of what it is today. 

Of course. I did not expect the bitcoin price to rise as high as this. I invested in altcoins and of course this case made me lose. I assume the current rise from bitcoin prices is because the Chinese government has lifted the ban on bitcoins

Yes.

Especially considering the problems plaguing it.

Like never ending conf. time (1-10 days) and the über mempool size...

Don't get me wrong, i beleive BTC is the only true crypto and all the other shitcoins are crap.

BTC is just unusable right now.

i am not really surprised it is expected that one day bitcoin will reach that price. there are many people investing and joining bitcoin it is not a miracle if we reach a higher number.

Im really surprised that Bitcoin already reached $7000. I didn't expect that Bitcoin will reach it so quick. Just like that. I think it's because of China allowed trading platform there to operate. With 100 million USD traded in over 3 platforms there. In addition for this, people want to keep their Bitcoins for upcoming hardfork. They sold their altcoins for Bitcoin. So the volume goes to Bitcoin. I think it's these are the reason that drives Bitcoin price surge. I think Bitcoin will back down for at least between 5k and 6k USD for retracement after the hardfork and may pump again up to 8k at the end of the year.

Bitcoin will always ne unpredictable so I will never be surprised about its price everyday. One thing is for sure, it will never have a stable price for a long time. Most people hopes its price will always be uprising as time pass so they intend to invest for now because they are looking forward that its price will double or maybe triple in just few days or weeks, so as their gain will be.

Haha, Majority of the bitcoiners have very same regret but still we are lucky people because only few percent people in the world are using this expensive currency, imagine when the whole world will be dealing in bitcoin, what its price will be then? You are really blesses that you bought bitcoin at cheap rates because at present it is really not easy to grab bitcoin due to its damn high prices.

Bitcoin showed a huge growth in a short time and it still indicates that it will continuously grow in the future as long as many people will used bitcoin. The popularity had helped too increase the demand for bitcoin and it is possible that the demand will increase next year so expect another rise in the price. Bitcoin will continue to grow so don't have hesitations to join and earn it because it had already established a good proof as a good investment by making those who have invested on it when it was still low. It may be risky but taking this risk is totally worth it because there are many interesting and challenging things that comes with earning it.

Not really, because it's not my first time know about bitcoin price increased higher. I got shocked when I know bitcoin price around $500 and increased until around $2000. and now my reaction just excited to know bitcoin price daily.
