Also is there anything good going for bitcoin within the next month or two or FUD/boring sideline consolidation for bitcoin?
The only good I can see for bitcoin is Lightning network but even I don't know whens that coming out
Alts are going to suffer whenever Bitcoin rallies by a great amount since most of the alts are trading against Bitcoin. So this thing is usual. But when Bitcoin is stable with its price alts try to reach new ATH if some big advancement takes place.
As for Bitcoins future, we can see it going downwards due to high fee and scaling issues. Almost every Crypto in the space can do the same, faster, better with lower fees and without all the drama and energy consumption. Its all about the adoption rate and the security features that has kept Bitcoin up and peoples trust for now.
