People seem to forget that something needs to trigger the price to rise. The price won't shoot up to $1000 out of the blue. The last 'moon' was triggered by the Chinese and we'll need something similar for it to rise again. The stocks of a company won't rise without good news/more publicity etc.
Open your eyes. The best programmers and business people are getting involved with bitcoin projects on a daily basis as of late
and part of the problem is that many of them are building offchain solutions. Offchain solutions do not require BTC for the vast majority of their transactions. If bitpay or coinbase have offsetting transactions they are not going to trade coins on the open market. This means transactions on the blockchain and the number of wallets do not need to grow, and the number of coins actually traded onchain does not need to increase - so the value of a BTC does not necessarily have to rise with adoption.
