https://www.rt.com/business/410252-bitcoin-god-gift-keiser/I think your statements says it all that bitcoin can not be ignored and it will keep rising in the one direction and that is upwards! Bitcoin cash, yes will never cash the bitcoin and its not even worth it to stay in the crypto community after seeing the fake pumps recently.
The price speculation for the bitcoin has always been very high and I think its always high enough for the whole community because day by day more investors are coming into market and investing the money on bitcoin.
Each time a news made about the bitcoin will get it higher status and then it goes upward, this trend will continue forever and until the 100K is reached we might see whole new era of the bitcoin. Where a satoshi would be worth 100 dollars. Man that is just cool to think about.
