Well as I wrote that yesterday,,, we are now back at 46k and granted I still think there is much more space for a new ATH but definitely at the pace we are going it cannot be the blasting moon run of 2017, which again strengthens what I said about this NOT being Bitcoin's year. At least,,, not compared to 2017. It is still a great year but the headlines are for sure defi and NFT 
The half year was the year for bitcoin wasn't it? I mean I get that since early June or something we have started to fall, there was a fall from peak 64k to under 30k and we managed to recover a bit of it, even with the current fall we are at around 45-46 most of the time, so it is really not that bad is it? Start of the year was under 30k and right now we are over 40k+, how could that be a "bad year" for bitcoin?I get that we had a huge fall, I get that we are not doing great "now" but that's about it, just because we can't broke ATH again this year, doesn't mean that it is not the year for bitcoin. I hope to see 60k+ again before this year ends, but if it doesn't end then I would still consider 2021 as the year of crypto.
