Really....A graph from 2010 thru 2013 to illustrate your point of view?
ETA:
Bitcoin is volatile and that is to be expected as it gains global acceptance. It is a brand new currency. Even the most hard core bitcoin fanboys would tell you not to buy bitcoin for an investment. It is utilitarian currently to be used for transactions. Get in get out, for us in the USA and other relative stable currencies. Now if you are in Brazil or Venezuela or one of the many countries with very volatile devaluing currencies, maybe bitcoin looks like a nice place to park your savings.
Don't necessarily view bitcoin through the USD$ lens.
