BTC may not recover, but instead money will flow back to the superior, original bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash. Buy bitcoins now for under $400 again! Watch for the BCC related conference coming up this week. Huge things ahead! Don't be in the dark on these developments!
Now, can you still say BTC couldn't recover? It's $10k already, an eye-popping gradual increase which proves that all the negative predictions and analysts were all wrong. BTC is still the superior coin and no matter what major decrease of its price may happen, it will recover soon as it is the mother of all cryptos. It's given that BTCCash is the fastest rising crypto in history but it will forever be considered an altcoin and could never replace or even match BTC's power, influence and impact in the digital currency scene. Hence, BTCCash and other altcoins will never ever exist if Bitcoin wasn't created first.
it will never die... there might be some coins with better usability or different usability but BTC is here to stay for the near or longer future. Its the household name it is what makes crypto interesting for many people who dont know about crypto.
