You are to much pesimistic. Yes, altcoins going down but it is normal in cryptocurrency, like growth which will be start in next weeks. So we will not must wait 1-2 years for this
I wish... no way look at the bitcoin chart
click y3 and you will see. It BTC does't have power to grow
All cryptos are related to BTC as all we know. In my opinion, we have to wait 1 year... at least. To rise above ATH we have to meet the devil at the buttom of hell 
Anyone who tries to predict what will happen or a timeframe is essentially picking a number out of the sky.
