BTC will continue to exist until the block chain technology is replaced by some new and better technology. Last 10 years should have tough us some kind of pattern in the BTC's fluctuation and the movement of the price. This market is the newest one we have so far and it is extremely volatile. Anyone who entered this market with long term goals should arm themselves with patient and simply forget about everything. It will be a while until we see some positive and higher growth than the one that we have been witnessing for the last couple of days.
