What if there's a reason why its bubble bursts? Perhaps a single party manages to have >51% hash power for a long time. Or Bitcoin exchanges get outlawed in several important countries. Or fees keep rising to $50 or higher per transaction.

These developments could make Bitcoin (mostly) unusable and thus worthless. Would you still buy more?

Since BTC is paired with the blooming crypto markets and platforms of services they provide, it would be easier to blow out a spark in a gently accelerating hurricane of gasoline fumes and powdered creamer. It's not a bubble, it is the pin pricking the paradigm.
