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.
You have a point. The hype made people to buy investment during the most expensive condition of bitcoin thinking that bitcoin will reach higher that 20k in the coming months..but after December 2017 it starting to slope down..And those high expectations turn in anger,depression and sell out which mean a great loss..Here in cryptocurrencies we must be carefull to get greedy and get tempted by the hype we must play our cards properly because everything is so volatile and we could lost everything in a span of a minute same as we could get millions if we are carefull and wise enough to hamdle our bitcoin invesment.
