Look at this chart
https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage it says that from February 21 up to June 17 Bitcoin market share has dropped from 87% to 38! Doesn't it bother you people at all? That's why price went down to 1700$, PEOPLE STOPPED USING BITCOIN, because of the lack of credibility- namely slow transactions and high as fuck fees. After that price returned to ~2700$ ONLY because of speculations around Segwit2x. It's the only reason, bBitcoin is dying and u all know it.
this strategy of pushing for idiotic stuff is too old now. you are assuming people are too dumb to believe misinformation like that!
what coinmarketcap.com calls "dominance" is a bad comparison factor between market capitalization and nearly everyone knows that altcoins such as Ethereum and Ripple are the reason why, with their ridiculously huge number of coins. it is 96 million and 100 billion coins! compared to 16 million of bitcoin! and ripple released a couple of billion recently and ethereum is being mined with mad numbers daily!
the price never went down to $1700 unless in your dreams. it went down to about $1850 and only lasted there for half hour before going back up above $2000 and every newbie who can look at a chart knows this type of change (10-20% drop due to FUD) has always been a normal thing even back in 2009.
and the only reason for high fees which lasted less than 3 months was becanse those who are advertising bitcoin cash have been spam attacking bitcoin network.
and besides if bitcoin were dying or dead or whatever, you wouldn't have been here spreading your FUD
