I think every year is repeated. And at the end of 2018 with new volumes will jump even higher than in 2017.
What happened in 2017 did not happen in 2016 so every year is not repeated. But I also feel that new volumes will enter the market because the situation has become a crisis but the greatest factor that we' have is the attention around the world. We got a lot of financial institutions in our side and they are going to pour a lot of money really soon.
I'm really having a hard time understanding why people think this way. It's the same with the stock market "buy in May sell in September". The markets are not that simple! They don't just go up like the flowers and then lose their buds and die every year. A lot can happen in a calendar year, let alone a month.
I'm not so sure it'll keep dropping, but maybe that's my own bias. Bitcoin should be more valuable according to the news being generated around it and the potential it has to become more widely traded, but what do I know.
