Right, it doesn't seem likely to succeed, especially if these dynamics prevail: "A currency that quintuples in a month, and then loses two-thirds of its value in the following week, is not a currency that inspires confidence in users."

A currency that behaves that way is a currency that appreciates 67% every five weeks. That will not be sustainable for long without hyperinflation. It will also inspire confidence in people who buy the dips.
