Is Bitcoin responsible for this bear market?

[christianb35]

Bitcoin started going down when its fees became unacceptable... even for traders. Now with the Bitcoin TPS down the fees are again acceptable but the hype is gone. So what brought this hype in the first place? I think it was Bitcoin usage that was going up but since Segwit merchants only stop accepting Bitcoin, in fact, Bitcoin can't be use as a currency anymore...

We currently only hope for an ETF to get new money in but shouldn't we be looking for an alternative to Bitcoin like Bitcoin Cash?
