If BTC will see adoption like XRP or BCH then there will be a chance for another bull run.
Lately, I don't see the adoption of BTC growing only something opposite merchants stop accepting it. High fees (50$) for a single transaction when BTC was at ATH shows that this is not possible for Bitcoin to be a widespread payment solution because of the scaling issue. Ongoing for years debate on the scaling issue brings nothing besides new coin BCH which is now one of the biggest BTC concurrent on the market. I still don't believe that we need an LN on top of BTC and even if then we should let the blocksize grow until LN will be fully implemented/usable.
If Bitcoin resolves all burning problems then and only then will be a chance for another epic bull run. If not we will slowly see like Ripple, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash are taking BTC place on the top of the coinmarketcap list.

Wow - just imagine what would happen if BTC reached the adoption levels of BCH!

I guess I finally capitulated. I selected 6500-7000 in the poll. I've always chosen bullish before this and been wrong so so so many times. Does that mean the price is finally going to rise?
If it makes you feel any better, I selected "$7,000-$7,500".
This has been an awful Bitcorn season.
Not sure what the harvest is gonna be like in December.
>$8,500 Guess I'm hopeless. I guess we are still waiting on you to capitulate then, it will rise only after the very last hold out falls. Hodlers don't capitulate. I think it's possible that if there are enough hodlers, we may not see a textbook capitulation event. Or we've already witnessed it. We shall have to add "Do Not Capitulate" to our wills. Well, I do my figuring for taxes from month to month (some 'small' and I mean 'small' mining yet in the bsmt) ...so stalling till Sept 1st (next months figuring) before I have to sell some altcoins for my fabulous (er boring) retirement lifestyle. I wonder if not a lot of folk are just not waiting till this 'ugly' month of August 2018 is done and hoping like me for a pump by Sept 1st to pay bills (it is a dumb theory but it is my theory so that is what I'm doing). I can start a 'new mess' of figures for capital gains and the rest in September and leave August behind! So using September 1st as my arbitrary must sell to pay bills date, regardless of price, thus can just blame the BTC fairies/fates for my glory or demise on that choice. hey, it's an angle brad I seriously had to check the calendar to see what month it is right now. Perhaps it's because I'm on Thailand time which starts a bit sooner than most of the rest of the world but I am showing that September 1st has passed already. yeah, duh....the crap I'm looking at for taxes is from sept 1 to 30th ..I mis-spoke? mistyped? whatever? but anyway Sept sucked...August was not a lot of fun either thus again, kicking my selling down the road good or bad idea till after the first..then I will have to pay no matter what (count on a crash..it's how I roll on such decisions) sigh

Yeah. What cracks me up is how all y'all jumped down the throats of BCH developers for having a core dev discover a bug in a single (of several) Bitcoin Cash implementation, which was also never exploited.
Shoe's on the other door now. #justsayin
What are you talking about? Apparently this is a several years long issue that has ramifications on any forks of bitcoin too. So, it remains a bit unclear about your supposed "gotcha." So, I don't know where you get off in some high and mighty righteous in any kind of found bug conversation. It's not meant to be a gotcha, it is meant to be an observation upon double standards. Yeah, but even if you are making a double standards assertion against bitcoiners, you are making that on kinds of strawman created implications as the ones that I already pointed out in my earlier post , and even HairyBeary posted an additional point with his question about whether a bcash developer had spotted the bug and informed the core developers of such. Of course, you could not answer because so far the spotter of the bug has been anonymous. I guess you didn't get the memo. The person who discovered and responsibly disclosed this devastating bug was a bcasher. neener neener neener.

Do you have a reputable source for that statement? (eg excluding Peter R) If you are referencing the BU dev who supposedly found it, his cryptographic proof fell apart. It is time stamped more than 8 hours after the bug was disclosed.

https://www.coindesk.com/novogratz-says-crypto-market-showing-classic-bottom/Michael Novogratz, the founder of the cryptocurrency asset management firm Galaxy Digital, believes the market has hit a bottom.
The market is experiencing "seller fatigue," Novogratz contended while speaking at Yahoo Finance's second annual All Markets Summit on Thursday, and added further that bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is now on the upswing.
Indeed, bitcoin is showing signs of life, having persistently found takers around $6,000 in the last three months. Hence, the signs indicate that the bears have likely run dry.
Novogratz also took note of the "classic bottom" in Galaxy Digital's cryptocurrency index, which is down more than 80 percent from its peak.
The valuations are cheap by December standards, and that could entice bargain hunters and investors like Novogratz who view bitcoin as a store of value.
"Bitcoin has held $6,000. Yes, it is off its highs, but it has established itself as a store of value," Novogratz said, according to a report from Reuters. The billionaire investor also told attendees that, in his view, plenty of money is waiting on the sidelines.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence I saw it on the Bitcoin-dev-request mailing list. He even asked for a donation to bitcoincash:qr5yuq3q40u7mxwqz6xvamkfj8tg45wyus7fhqzug5 The only saving grace was he didn't use the word 'inflation' to describe the bug - nevertheless it's a great pickup on good on him.

I suspect there will be more before this run is over. But it would be hard to surpass the last $7,4xx top.
We had $8,500, recently, too, and that was on July 23.. Member that? So long ago in bitcoin's history? You don't think that there is nuff umph to get us close to $8,500 again, in this run? And still be able to allow the bears to take another shot at $6k? Perhaps, perhaps? $8,500 is only 40% above $6k, right?
