As you say bitcoin has touched "the bottom" $ 5800 this is the time you should buy rather than sell. Please buy bitcoin or altcoin. By the end of the year you will definitely be profitable
If I were in your place, I would say so. In my opinion now it is not clear what will be the cost of bitcoin in 2018. If you believe the forecasts, then the value should increase and reach the level of 20000, but for some reason I do not believe it. This year the predictions come true only for the worse.
A lot of people who call this period as the worst are those like you who are actually not getting the long term picture of things. The time you should be having more hope and buying in the more is when the market is going through states like this.
Of course, no one knows the point at which bitcoin is going to eventually reverse, and the chances of going way lower than we are now is still pretty much there since the bears are still strong, and the only thing to do is just to see how thing would be turning out.
