The mainstream doesn't care because it's at all-time highs. The value of a bitcoin is driven entirely by speculation. There's no news driving prices. The only news is ever about the price itself.
Every purchase is also a sale. Every vigorous post about how much you should be buying bitcoins is also a statement that somebody wants to sell theirs off. It's no surprise that mainstream investors have no interest in that.
Not that investors are above cheering on stock market bubbles and other speculations. But they at least know that there's some value there setting a floor for what a stock is really worth. A bitcoin has no way for me to evaluate its real worth, and all I hear in "bitcoin at alltime high" is "bitcoin getting ready to crash again".
