If bitcoin failed and went to say $20/coin, then at least we have closure, and can move on to something else
If bitcoin succeeded and went to say $50,000, then great, goal reached.
But wtf is 5k? did it succeed? No. Did it fail? Well, it didn't fail either. Is it still worth holding? Will it still have a huge upside potential?
It'll be very tough to decide whether to keep believing or to give up.
This is what Satoshi Nakamoto said on Feb. 14, 2010
"I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."
why you think he said that? there is a reason, and it has everything to do with the controlled supply, the value can not remain by any means for a long time on the same number, it must grow or fall, only two outcome are possible
