Rome wasn't built in a day, and Bitcoin won't take off to the moon right now. It will take a lot of improvement, a lot of new technology and a lot of hard work.
The people who buy in rallies and sell during bear markets and then don't believe in bitcoin anymore are clowns. If the price went to 25k in the next few months I guarantee it that the community will double maybe even quadruple in just a few days.
And then if it dropped back to 15k, suddenly most of these people will disappear again. They won't believe in bitrcoin and they will not care.
If you don't want your money to be created by bankers and the government at their whim the actual price of bitcoin is secondary. Bitcoin is a central part of the puzzle when it comes to the people getting back their sovereignty.
First of all, who would have to sell their Bitcoins at bear trend knowing what Bitcoin can do in a matter of time, they are not clowns instead they are totally dumb. Wasting the opportunity was the craziest thing to do.
There are times that Bitcoin wasn't that much profitable I know but that doesn't mean it is dead, just like you what have said patience is all matter to be getting rewarded. I've been in this industry for almost 3 years so I know what are the capabilities of Bitcoin that is why I put my trust and my future on it.
Bitcoin may stumble a few times but it can recover and be better in no time just have your patience.
