I still believe that Bitcoin can surpass $15k by the end of 2018, and am still HODLing it for the philosophy of HODLing. Right now, it reached a bottom point, especially due to the regulatory aspects of it. People were also shortening it with BTC Futures. However, now institutional investors are seeing the technological potential of Bitcoin and more emerging cryptocurrency companies are starting to pop up. Compared to other cryptos, it is still one of those most advanced out there. This is especially true when looking at the lightning network or segregated witnesses. The biggest problem right now in price is that amateur investors look at short terms gains over long term ROI. Beware of "Proof of Greed" as some might say, not POW.
