The news in term of development are actually decent, with LN getting closer to a release, so I think this is just temporary. 
Long live the bitcoin and its dignity. Off course, bitcoin dont have to prove itself in terms of its spikes and hikes which are sure shot in the long run. We dont have to fear about it because it is what makes up our bitcoin : Most volatile currency, Decentralised in nature, Publicly accepted and demotivated by the government, industries willing to accept, rules and regulations willing to ban! You never know what surprises bitcoin has to see in its path which affects its prices severely. So im pretty sure that everything is temporary here and we just have to give it time.
Right, long live for a true cryptocurrencies. Most of us fear the ending, but come to think of it. Bitcoin prove that in years despite the fake news and issues. Our money will fade right away if we are always on the peak prices. We have to wait to rise again.
