Something will pass at some point if the tech doesn't improve drastically and soon. Nobody likes the $10-$20 fees to send a transaction, and it makes the whole thing seem pointless. Once we're seeing normal tx fees again we'll see steady gains. I don't really understand how Bitcoin surged so much with all of these scaling issues, but I love it. I never complain when my Bitcoin is worth more!
Even I think that at some point of time some coin will surely bypass bitcoin because one thing can't be at the top forever. Although I disagree with the fees because the fees is not much now as it has been reduced now to 40 Satoshis per byte which is 10 times less than what it was before a few weeks. Bitcoin surged so much despite the scaling issues because it was in the news and trend and everyone was investing in it regardless of it's huge fees. This is why the price went up so quickly. Since now everything is back to normal we might see a stable growth in a few weeks.
