The Bitcointalk forum has got nothing to do with it. In fact, we are seeing a drop in activity on Bitcointalk year after year while bitcoin's value is increasing. More people are leaving than coming. And many who come, ran across Bitcointalk by accident when they were looking for solutions to a Bitcoin-related problem. It's not entirely the forum's fault. The new generations aren't fans of the forum culture. They prefer other and faster ways of sharing information.
Let's understand the scenario so that we completely comprehend the system. This modern generation are concerned with fast way of making money and this have been purely facts. Bitcoin have been on the trends, and it's really out of line for pro traders that speculated for it to surpassed $100k this year. Perhaps we're still watching and hope it becomes promising for every trader. Bitcoin will hits $100k when the time is right. It's not for us or the forum to decides.
