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.
Oh of course I still think this is a great year for Bitcoin,,, probably the second best year and if we reach December safe,,, it will be the longest best period for Bitcoin but all I am saying above is that this is not THE year. 2017 clearly was all about Bitcoin as I said. Price wise. Threat wise (remember the split and the flippening).
