I agree with the stuff that you mentioned about the government regulations, they can't actually regulate or ban bitcoin itself, yet people are panicking about it, which makes no sense since we all know that bitcoin is decentralized. In a falling market like this, I also agree with you that buying the dip is probably the best action to take.
However, you said that by the end of 2018, the crypto market cap will be $1 trillion, which is hard to believe.
Personally speaking I can only see crypto markets recover partially by the end of the year, and it's nowhere going to be near $1 trillion.
