In the grand scheme of thing Bitcoin has barely been a short-term thing itself, let alone the tiny fraction of time it has been in the public eye with any notable value, so I wouldn't expect any great returns fast. Maybe in few years of time, but even then you'd most likely make way, way, way more money with altcoins.
I am with you here. Bitcoin went from 90% of the market down to 34% of the total market. Slowly, Bitcoin will go lower and lower, making room for other newer coins with better transactions speed and fees.
As much as I love Bitcoin, it's a bit outdated.
