God only knows what bitcoin would be worth today had the shitcoin holocaust not happened. Ethereum did unrepairable damage to crypto when the token ICOs flooded the scene. Everyone and their dogs were buying these stupid get rich quick tokens.
You want bitcoin to go up? Simple. Quit buying shitcoins. Buy btc and hodl.
This will not happen, people know the potential of bitcoin but they are not as willing to invest in it because they understand that it is more difficult for it to go through the explosive growth it went through years ago, so everyone is looking for the next bitcoin, even if you know that will never happen, as long as people believe that is a possibility then coins that do not bring anything to the market will keep on existing.
