At your point of view, Does Bitcoin have a chance?
Well, the quick answer is
Of course. I believe one of the biggest problems bitcoin has is the last December mega-bubble. Many people invested in bitcoin in this month due to its high value, so many people lost their money, as expected.
From the past two days, we all have seen how the value of Bitcoin rises in a crazy manner ($1000 dollars in less than an hour don't see organic to me), and its fluctuations seem to have begun again. Nevertheless, the volatility on the prices are going to stay for a while, for this is, apparently, the nature of the ecosystem.
Now, regarding your question, Bitcoin doesn't need a chance. For this is already implemented, this is already an important part of the wide economy; because it is already there, and it is going to stay (maybe) forever.
Other coins can need a chance, as you expressed, but not Bitcoin. It is the king of the crypto.
But i think that still they are holding their bitcoins and not going to sell it, so i think that very soon they will recover their lost, because once again they will see bitcoin price trading above 19000$. so they may not be regretting for their investment in bitcoin, because at that time it will look like that very soon bitcoin is going to cross 50000$ and will even cross that level, therefore they wanted to invest money in bitcoin even in such a high price.
