Even if there is no ATH but as long as the price can be able to recover to our last ATH or at least close to it, many of us will be happy and contented already because that still gives us a chance to earn a nice profit. ATH is not important but price volatility is, as this was the reason on why we can buy low and sell high.
Many are wishing for it to be gone. I think those who said this are the people who only use their BTC as a currency. They are just selfish but they can still use their BTC as a currency even if there are volatility. No one is forced to use or own a BTC because BTC will not replace the traditional fiat system that we have so don't worry about its supply.
I think the important part is to be stable, if the price of bitcoin became a bit more stable the new would be able to use it in a lot more places. I bet that 90%+ of the people who would use bitcoin as a payment, do not use it in their business because it is volatile, which means that they can't use it at the time but would use it if it became a bit more stable, for a while at least.
However, that doesn't mean that we will not see ATH for sure, we will still see it and people who think that we won't are wrong, there is nothing wrong with bitcoin bitcoin this price and should be considered a good deal at the time right now, it should be considered a good profitable business to hold for long term because I bet that we are going to see it grow to a new level.
