I think next year. If there is no solution.
The crash that we are seeing is nothing about the scaling problem. The whole crypto is crashing not only bitcoin!!!. There's some serious cashing out and ensuing panic that's why the price is nose diving.
It could probably drop below $10K or maybe not. Support levels at $14K and $12K has been broken, causing more panic around the investors.
And as @Andre_Goldman has posted, this is the only news that I read that could possible attribute to the crashing, but why bring the whole crypto? Even bitcoin cash who we have seen is making a attempt once more suddenly plunges as well.
bitcoin and altcoin suppose to drop together. Why I don't know. Bitcoin for me is just a scam. Scam cannot go on forever. Why future and option are available right before this crash? Because the rich can short this scam before it crashes like now.
