Well it's nice that bussnies like this one wich is really big is promoting bitcoin with discount, but it sucks that they dump them for fiat :/
They don't have much other options, Bitcoin haven't evolved to that level yet where people won't dump it for fiat. But maybe in future they might like it acquire more and more btc and all the people will be dumping their fiat for btc.

I think merchnats will keep on being added almost daily with a big one every two or three months, I just wish the price would rise to reflect this.
Price probably rises as new money enters the into the btc market as a result of more merchants accepting btc. However, price is only important if you use btc as an investment/speculation. In this case for merchant and the mass public using btc as a currency, the price is irrelevant. Stability is more important. maybe stability is more important, but most people here are only concerned about price.. and that's just the way it works. but i do agree that the price does not necessarily reflect its position.

The fact that dell accepts bitcoin will likely cause others to want to invest in bitcoin and bitcoin related businesses

Dell would have been the last company I thought would accept bitcoin. That's unexpected.

Dell? Whoa, they ARE bigger than Overstock and DISH combined. Is it really just the media hype? Maybe many companies just don't exactly know what do make of bitcoin and decide to better embrace it to avoid missing the train choo choo!

Merchants do not need to worry about price stability as coinbase and bitpay allow merchants to instantly cash out when they receive a bitcoin payment.

Not at the moment. A quote from Dell's CIO: We wanted to start up with the US base, and from that, we’ll see where we wanted to move next. The big thing here is being able to be a lot more agile in terms of addressing our customers’ needs. source: http://www.coindesk.com/dell-bitcoin-aligns-brand-innovation/

Stability is more important. is it? you think the "mass public" is buying BTC to use it as a currency, as opposed to investment/speculation? i find that pretty unlikely. anyway, stability is no matter to merchants because by and large, they process through Bitpay/Coinbase.

This is not happening yet, but I would argue that it will likely happen in the future when a lot more large merchants start to accept bitcoin and more merchants start to offer discounts for buying with bitcoin

I also got the feeling the rocket is standing at the launch pad and about to take off. When the ETF will be launched together with all the great news lately there is no doubt we will see a big rally. I hope it will still take a little while tho so I can buy some more coins while still in the 3 digit zone

It will take some time, all this good news results in Bitcoin's image turning from "silk road drug currency" to something more legitimate. This doesn't mean that people new to Bitcoin hear that Dell is accepting bitcoins immediately start buying them. They might read a little about it, they find out that it's a lot more complicated than you would think at the first glance, then they might buy some to test it out like everyone does, then they get hooked, tell their friends etc. etc. Yeah the ETF will be really interesting! Man, some investment vehicle for the people who like to throw money at things! That's exactly what bictoin needs. What is your expectations on when it is ready to hit Wall Street?
I think price-wise we will see a top around 4k-5k, maybe higher maybe lower. However I do think the chance of going higher than 5k will be higher than going lower than 3k if you look at previous rallies. Ofcourse historical data isn't everything but we have seen in the past that when the price is rising fast people will panic buy to not miss out, even if the price is already unsustainably high.
