Honestly, now is the wrong time to buy Bitcoin. Anyone who is buying now should've bought a month ago.

Although, if you are looking to sell off some of your holdings to get some cash, now is a good time. I just sold about $500 worth of BTC. Zero regrets whatsoever. (And I still have a huge stash.)

In the long term the price difference between now and a month ago will be a rounding error.

The thing with Bitcoin is that it is unstoppable. Companies will come and go, but Bitcoin will continue to exist.

Think about email. It is still relevant because there is no company attached to it. All the other platforms will cease to exist eventually.

Think about IRC, it still exist, even though there are multiple companies trying to do chat.

All these are protocols, so they will continue to exist far beyond what any company can survive.

The protocols will still exist in a way even if they are not in their original form. Evolution will surely take place.

There is nothing that is exceptional to replacement or innovation and Bitcoin is not. It takes one mind to sit down and a create a new standard, one that will prefect the protocol or replace the existing as a new technology.

No doubt that IRC does exist. In skype, HexChat, IceChat, Pidgin and Smuxi you can add IRC software in windows and have an anonymous chat.

Those who say the Bitcoin protocol doesn't exist they should also think about decentralized. In as much as there are influence by devs in the Bitcoin core and influences from top men (US president, social influencers like Elon Musk) there is still a limit to how they can influence the technology.
