Miracle will only happen if most of bitcoin enthusiasts keep their faith in bitcoin after all what happened this past few months. What we need is a much wider range of people getting involved for a much higher demand. But how? We can't force people on their decisions! So I disagree to most members that we do not need a miracle. We do need a miracle! And I think it will only happen if we all believe. (Law of attraction).
We already saw many miracles. Everytime the price drops hard, we experienced a huge wave driving the price many times higher. It may take months this time but it will recover with a miracle or not

I like your realistic point of view. I suppose the miracle happened when Bitcoin price reached 20 thousand. Now, if BTC touches 10 thousand mark in 2019, it will be another wonder.
