We are currently in stage three, Silbert said, which is the capital phase. This phase started in 2013, when venture capital money started pouring into bitcoin start-ups.

Bitcoin will enter the fourth phase this year, which is the "Wall Street phase," he said.
waiting for fourth phase, i'm sure this will make BTC booming

Or will all the merchants cash into their local fiat using payment processors such as Bitpay (https://bitpay.com/?oid=1058_1) thereby lowering the "exchange" rate for fiat?

Or are people not worried about this?

Care to elaborate?  Are you worried that if big money gets involved, the "spirit" of the bitcoin "project" will change?

If Bitcoin hits Wall Street, it becomes a stock. A bond people will trade, not a currency as it's supposed to.
There will also be a LOT more market manipulation which could lead to Bitcoin being doomed.

There is no reason it can't be both. As the price rises it will become more affordable to buy stuff with bit coin than currency so there will be a natural progression.

I'm just saying this isn't what Bitcoin is meant to be. Nevertheless, if this leads to a $5000 surge, I'll gladly welcome it :D
