I think that it's important to remember that while Bitcoin is being treated as an investment by many of its users, the goal is still to make it into a "real" currency. It does look like we're at the public interest phase, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the "Bitcoin bubble" is bound to reach a pop. Regular currencies do fluctuate in value, but this is more due to inflation/deflation. If Bitcoin succeeds in its goal, which I think it stands a chance at, and becomes a "real-life" currency that you can use on Amazon or at Walmart, then Bitcoin will reach a stage like this. The current public interest is a chance to prove ourselves to the public and shift the perspective on cryptocurrencies (rather than keeping the narrative of "these are black market commodities" or "a great investment with no value on its own" that people have heard so far). If we succeed in this, Bitcoin will eventually be able to stabilize at a high value instead of coming to a crash, and this will also give bigger opportunities to the various altcoins that are currently dependent on the success of BTC.
