There is trouble abrewing
your reasoning is not correct but you come to a much better conclusion instead!
bitcoin price will continue to rise because first of all it has a limited supply with a good cap at 21 million coins. second the demand for it is rising and as long as that is true, the price will continue to rise. so far there is no reason for the demand to drop.
however, temporarily you can see prices drop because of how market is still small and it can be manipulated and all the weak hands increase the volatility.

You are right on target with this one. This is useful information. The limited supply of bitcoin will greatly influence the price in the future as only a couple million  are left to be mined and once this runs out, supply stops, which will give bitcoin value as long as demand remains constant/increases

This statement results from a study or just a speculation? I think you should see more facts. Do not just think of your own thoughts

Cons
• Tethering subpenoa by US government
• US banks boycotting bankers ability to purchase bitcoin
• Facebook banning adds
• Recent news about scammers
Cons Summary: Bitcoin has been made harder to purchase and potential users are less secure in their purchase.
Facebook had banned ads related to cryptocurrencies becuase of the continuous scams that were ongoing in the crypto market. This should be taken positively because it will eliminate fraudlent ICOs and will increase the opportunity of potential ICOs to be more successful.

Pros
• Bitcoins history to bounce back
• At its core the value that is provided by bitcoin as a service has not been devalued.
• Despite negative news bitcoin has held positive hype and faith from its community.
Agree with the Pros since they are true. Bitcoin does have the ability to recover from any crash/crisis .

Unanswerable questions:
• What is bitcoins actual value minus any hype and with all future regulations added?
• How far down is bitcoin going to go? (guess 2-5k)
• How far back up is going going to go in a 5 year time span (guess 50k)
1.We can answer your first question since t requires the knowledge of future regulations which can only be known when the time arrives.

2.Bitcoin can go as low as $2k - $4k because last year the price pumped around $2k and kept on increasing until the dump from $19k occured. So according to my calculations the real price should be anywhere near $2k - $4k .

3.I believe the price might reach $100k in the next 5 years if the rate of growth is the same as last year. If the growth rate is average then price could be anywhere near to $40k - $50k .

P.S: All the speculations are based on experience and doesn't guarantee anything.

Except the specialization in this case is for most people their full-time job whereas even professional traders are proven to lose money most of the time.
Every Bitcoin you but that later goes up, means the person who sold it missed out on those gains.

Your cons are trivial and not the real cons. Your pros are basically guesses. My feedback is this: you could do more research before coming to any conclusion.

That's true I'm general economic theory, not true in the question of a single commodity, such as Bitcoin.
