To be fair, it probably will be pumped to $50k some time in the future (before crashing again). It's what Bitcoin does. After ten years, it's all it does.

In 2011 (or something, I'm going by memory) it rose to $30 before crashing back to about $5. In 2013 (still the days when all people had to do was spam a few forums) it reached $10, $100, $200 before stagnating until MtGox and Willybot pumped it up to $1k.

ISTR some people back then were predicting $10k BTC by the end of the next year (end of 2014). Instead it was about $500 or something, and BTC didn't reach $1k again for about three years (the start of this year or end of last year).
