There's no way people would just abandon Bitcoin just because it is starting to drop or someone tip them off that Bitcoin will going to die. Bitcoin has been massacred in the past a hundred more times because they saw that their investment is failing and it pushes them to sell low like they blame Bitcoin for that, where in fact it's the supply and demand makes it possible to move up and down. Despite of the market manipulation Bitcoin will still going to survive because it is an innovative creation of technology.
It seems to me that in any case, bitcoin has very good prospects in the future, even if you do not take into account its relevance in the cryptocurrency market due to its volatility. Of course, forecasting which year for Bitcoin will be the most successful is almost impossible, but in any case, our happiness is that big whales keep their bitcoins in their wallets, rather than trying to sell. Otherwise, failure will await us all.
