It is not the way you are thinking. But what is true is the market is declining and the investors are in a wait and see mode. They are not going away from cryptocurrency, but only are seeing the market. As crypto is the future which all know, the market will not crash as speculated by those against it. Facing difficulties means coming back with strong vigor and enthusiasm.
I dont think that crytpcurrency will ever be abandoned. Yes, it is true that the market is not as good as it should have been, but the thought of have it being abandoned is way too impossible to happen. This is just a challenge for all of us. Lets not be affected by it.
