Excellent post.

However, such concerns would only be valid in the long-term. They should not over-ride what is possible in the short and medium terms.

One thing to always consider, on it's own, is that the ubiquity of the internet is still in its VERY early stages. Regardless of volatility potential, BTC seems to fit the explosive growth of the internet which we will increasingly see as time goes by like a hand in a worn glove.

I didn't quite realize, that Europe experienced the height of the euro financial crisis in the summer of 2012, that the US experienced in 2007-2008. Now with what is happening in some euro outposts which I'm sure you're all aware of, we are coming on eight years of headlines about financial crises. Added to that such flashpoints as we now see in Cyprus, the man on the street is really starting to think that he may have to look into other options. Whether it is logical or not - i.e., whether one things the dollar / euro will tank, along with their savings, etc. - the crypto currency market will most likely grow exponentially. Of course, we have people with 50,000 BTC out there who would, at a later date, have enourmous amounts of power over the BTC market. These 'big fish' would only be something to worry about in the coming YEARS - which by that time, who knows what your $200 investment today may be worth?

just look at the results of opinion polls re speculation.. results (non-scientific as they may be) are always heavily tilted towards massive and sustained growth

all I know is that all of a sudden this got interesting..

@eduardo - don't worry about it. for example, forbes published the addresses of the top 100 accounts which had the most coins in them
