However will the tide shift now?
Certainly not, before the end of 2017 bitcoin was around $9k soar up to almost $20k, what we are seeing is just the aftermath of the bubble.
Although there are alt that have recently rise and have a good spot at the market, the tide will always be with bitcoin and not with the alt coins.
Will there be a new lingo of "Never go long on Bitcoins"?
Nope not gonna happen, FUDs are everywhere and FUD spreaders are payed to do that against bitcoin, the longer you are with bitcoin the more you will gain from it, just dont believe on everything you see on the internet, some news are meant to destroy its competitors.
