Yep, and the higher the price goes the more attention/support bitcoin will get, it is nice to have the attention on bitcoin because of it's movement rather than the criminal movement around bitcoin!
more attention is not equal to more support.
the price rise will only bring the attention and publicity to bitcoin which is good but the support requires more usage.
i mean more businesses and more people to start using bitcoin as a currency for their money transfers.
But then more attention means more usage, which would then bring more attention and the price rise, looking at what you said.
I'm just glad that Bitcoin is getting more and more attention and some of my friends are already asking me how to start getting bitcoins and stuff.
