This is the awkward stage. Where BTC can't control getting H.A.R.D. and shooting off anytime somebody simply breathes on it. I sense that there will be some unexplainable run-ups that come seemingly out of nowhere as if that hasn't already happened many times before. We know once BTC finally gets to that legal age, it will surely mature a bit and try some crazy stuff that early adopters would never allow it to do. I know I feel on top of the world getting close to 30, so I imagine the years 30-40 will be quite interesting. Let's keep our fingers crossed for no mid-life crisis.
These metaphors run deep with this one.
