With this level of volatility, no one would be using BTC for anything except for pure speculation. Who would dare purchase anything for 1 BTC when the value of that BTC could go up 10% the next day?

When there is no inherent use of something other than pure speculation, then it will end badly. This is 21st century tulip bulbs, but I cheer on anyone who has the balls to jump in and make money on BTC while there's money to be made.

But holding on long term is seriously a fool's game, this is a trading instrument, not something with any long term value.
