average doubling time is now measured in months
what would you say, when the price will be double from today's ~12 ?
I have a feeling it should be at 20 by next summer,
but uncertainty about some kind of hostile legislation in the future
is stopping me from buying (more).
hard to say, I think to boost doubling time again we need some change of fundamentals, like a major outlet that accepts bitcoin for example. Otherwise price will indeed creep up slowly and probably slow down further the higher it gets.
2 examples to justify my assumption:

As you can see, every positive change in fundamentals (like the introduction of top selling products) delays the plateau of productivity and triggers a new hype. If we can achieve such change in fundamentals price will double in no time!
