Am I just over optimistic and blinded by things happening the market today?
You are being optimistic, price movement now is just its normal movement, it could drop or pump but what matters is bitcoin is legit and it has a great future waiting. Keep believing as it doesn't matter if it dump now because we all know it will recover in time.
Play the game pretty well if you are also into short term trading, now is the time to maybe buy and wait a bit until its price will again bounce back.
Though I am not certain but I have a feeling that BTC is bound to end not lower than $10K by the end of the year.
