Now, with the ICO boom in 2017 bringing forth many projects with "unrealistic" visions and others with "imaginary" problems that never existed, and amidst the numerous scams many people predicted that Blockchain, Crypto and Bitcoin will die but they didn't (at least in 2018). Though we had a really rough and tough 2018 but here we are again. I have realized recently that the conversation has shifted towards new perspectives (Ethereum new forks, Bitcoin upcoming halving, new blockchain developments, etc).
The perspective will change with the market situation, we had similar situations after the last two rallies and we were hearing the same old stories that the bubble busted and there is no way the market will recover and so on, now we have more forks from bitcoin than in the past and it is quite interesting to see how the market will react, i am not sure about the ethereum form as i am hearing about it for a long time, hope they can fix the bugs before implementing, but bitcoin halving is the interesting one where we will see the market starting to recover.
