I'm worried about the time frame it might take for adoption to hit a point where we finally pass ATH. That could take a decade or not even happen in our lifetime
does adoption have anything to with price? I seriously doubt it. hype is what drives it and that's gonna continue being the case for a long time.
You have no clue if you are concluding that hype is the only thing that drives bitcoin price. Sure, hype is a factor, but adoption is another factor, and there are other factors as well, so hopefully you can reconsider your current thoughts about the bitcoin price situation...

the main driving force behind price is poeple willing to speculate that bitcoin will continue to grow
how can we do that when we KNOW there can only ever be 1MB.
