Lol. I dont think it's already a dead end for bitcoin. With its popularity and upgraded network (due to bitcoin forkings), I think that it is just the beginning. No one even expected that bitcoin will go this far way back in 2009. As long as the third bitcoin forking is still pending, then I don't see the bitcoin price to fall yet.

Also, it is so obvious that altcoins will be on the rise again once the forking is done, but that doesn't mean that bitcoin will fall down to $3000 or less. The bitcoin craze is not yet over, especially that it's Christmas season. Bitcoin will continuously rise up in the coming weeks or months.
