You're so right, man! My bitcoin that was worth $588 yesterday is only worth $570 today!!! What a devastating crash, a btc crash to end all crashes!!
(In. case. you. can't. tell. that. was. mega. sarcasm.)
And it was worth $600 a couple weeks ago and worth $630 a week before that and $680 only a couple months ago. You're welcome to keep holding if you'd like, but smart people are reducing their exposure right now.
...and $450 three months ago. Forgotten that?
Well, I think that represents where we're going again over the next few weeks. You need to remember that in May everyone was calling for the next huge rally in late July. There were graphs and TA everywhere calling it, and much of it looked quite convincing. All it took was a small spark to ignite that frenzy up to $680, but when nothing materialized, investors lost hope again.
What do we have to look forward to now? There are some half heartedly calling for a bubble in October or November, but I don't think they even really believe it. We're all just blindly hoping now, so I think a return to the April/May price levels (or lower) is just about inevitable now.
I believe you are wrong. Time will tell.

Don't read too much into the metrics often used to show adoption increasing etc.
That's not to say there aren't signs of growth.
