I do not think we are going to see a big Nov/Dec pump. I am not saying the price will not go up some, I'm talking about getting anywhere near the high of $20k BTC or $8 Steem.
Last year, while the markets were pumping..... BTC was having five hardforks, which gave people a reason to buy whether it was free tokens or the idea that one or more of those tokens were going to make BTC a more useful piece of technology.
In addition, every media station was talking about Bitcoin, not all of the coverage was good, but it was enough to make people wonder what Bitcoin is and create FOMO.
This year we have a silly hardfork which is highlighting the lack of logic and business sense in the Bitcoin world. To my eyes, it looks incredibly immature and makes me wonder how this group of clowns is going to treat anything like a valuable business venture which lends it's self to enough credibility to invest in.
I'm in for a bit longer haul, and it is true that often the BTC markets do not make sense.
I'm on the record for saying we will not see a huge bull run, but I will be happy to be wrong about this.
