Well
@Raysor you were right in the short term - since your post, BTC has dropped 8.6%





You should have shorted it.
Here's something interesting though, there is a BTC ETF (exchange-traded fund) that's just been released in Canada.

I won't pretend to know what an ETF is, but it sounds like reasonable news for Bitcoin.
On top of that, there are some big investors in BTC recently - Elon Musk (Tesla) being probably the biggest alongside -
Microstrategy - 71,079 BTC
Grayscale Investments - 656,166 BTC
Ruffer Investment company - 45,000 BTC

As you know, I think its here to stay, but I could be wrong of course.
Downsides as I see things currently are that its hard to buy and use Bitcoin - for the average person - it has found difficulty making its way into the mainstream - I know that many investors simply don't know how to invest in it and many stockbrokers won't go near it due to regulatory issues, but as more
funds pop up that invest in Bitcoin, I think that will become easier.
Also in the news more recently, I saw that the Indian government are making it clear they want to ban Bitcoin completely, advising companies to sell their stake prior to IPOs.
