What gives me some hope, is when you look at Bitcoin's long term chart, after it hit $1,000 for the first time, it then sank to around the $2-400 range for a few years, before going on the run we are all now familiar with.
I hope this is a similar situation. If so, it's a great time to keep accumulating while large financial institutions (NYSE/ICE, etc) get in and developers are doing the work of making it more of a mainstream currency.
