Regardless of whether it is going up or down, the fact that its value fluctuates so much is a pretty good demonstration of its utter failure to fulfil the role of a currency.

As in, why am I ever going to spend any of the stuff if I think it is going to be worth twice as much two weeks from now? great for a few investors, also a demonstration of the total failure of the ideology behind it.
