Bitcoin prices little changed above the $500-level
Bitcoin remained above the key $500-level on Monday, as prices of the virtual currency stabilized following sharp losses suffered earlier in the month.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) shed 0.69%, or $3.51, on Slovenia-based BitStamp to trade at $504.91 during U.S. morning hours. Prices held in a narrow range between $496.00 and $515.95.

Bitcoin prices tumbled sharply earlier in the month, with analysts blaming various events for this trend, including a recent U.S. government report that highlights the risks associated with virtual currencies, New York's BitLicense proposals, and the introduction of new sophisticated trading techniques.
A number of traders and market analysts also attributed the recent decline to price manipulation by short-term profiteers who are deliberately driving prices down to eventually buy them back at lows.
Bitcoin is digital cash and is not backed by a government or central bank to regulate or issue it. It can be used to purchase goods and services from stores and online retailers.

Prices of the virtual currency have moved higher in recent sessions, following sharp losses suffered earlier in the month.
Market analysts have blamed various events for the downward trend, including a recent U.S. government report that highlights the risks associated with virtual currencies, New York's BitLicense proposals, and the introduction of new sophisticated trading techniques.
A number of traders and market participants also attributed the recent decline to price manipulation by short-term profiteers who are deliberately driving prices down to eventually buy them back at lows.
Global financial services provider Citigroup (NYSE:C) said in a research note published Tuesday that bitcoin’s price is poised for “acute instability” due to an oversupply of coins from miners and large merchants, along with a weak growth in demand.
The analysis points to the increased sophistication and cost of mining as a major driver for growth in bitcoin supply.
The reports adds that merchants that accept Bitcoin payments, such as Dell and Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE), are converting any bitcoin they receive from customers into dollar or euros, putting further selling pressure on the bitcoin price.

Bitcoin status is not regulated yet. It can be traded only as a commodity
You are right : bitcoin is not regulated, and cases like MtGox, show what can happen - you can get ripped of without any punishment for the thieves. And they do it (among others, I lost on Bitcoin that way when MtGox pulled of their scamm)

The hype will coontinue
Since politicians and banks can controls "digital money" it is going to be the future of it. But first some people want to become the rulers of the world (you can not have multiple digital currencies based on supply and demand only)
Why would anybody use bitcoin at this moment?
Using a commodity that can be manipulated by the same people that you are paying to is not a smart move. And just think : some company gets a lot of bitcoins selling something. What are they going to do? Sell those bitcoins. And there you go. By simple existence of regular paying system
digital money is doomed to manipulations and severe changes. And in all cases those are users that are going to lose
