We have been through a rough ride but what's next for bitcoin ? It has survived some brutal sanctions which were implemented by regulators but still manages to flourish (sustain), but don't you think bitcoin can earn more reputation by doing something good for the community like donating for environment cause, could pledge to help Amazon rainforest to recover from the recent disaster which will create more bitcoin sympathizers. Don't you think bitcoin community needs to focus on world affair so that we can be a part of mainstream and recognized by people ?
Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone. He is not a company to do charitable actions that will improve his reputation. It uses a decentralized network, it is not a company. Also, Bitcoin cannot be sanctioned, precisely because it is not controlled by anyone.
What's next for Bitcoin? A stagnation of about 2-3 years at this price and then a historical boom.
