I'd love to see these predictions realized, mostly because of the altcoins. They follow the trends of BTC like loyal pets and Bitcoin remains the permanent "reference". In fact, the strength of an altcoin expresses itself in the capacity to create its own moves without the influence of BTC... that happens very rarely.

I agree with you that BTC drives the market while the rest of the altcoins follow. Hopefully, the prediction will be realized and there will be reasons for us to smile again. Cheers!
