Only the growing usage will save bitcoin now. It may take months before it catches up. We are 2 months to the bear market now, I would not be surprised for 2 more months. 4 more would be a surprise.
Don't sell your coins. In 2011 only the ones lost who sold. I bought about BTC5000 then from somebody who could have held onto his treasure but chose to throw it away for a pittance. Read my threads (links in the sig). Don't sell.
You can't be sure the guy who sold you 5000 Bitcoin didn't buy double that back at the bottom.
Maybe he did, but not in a lump sum so there isn't a rally? It makes sense for him to keep the downtrend going until he is almost out of fiat.
