Why would trade volumes slump? The dollar is going to zero and BTC will replace it as the reserve currency!
...or maybe it's just another speculative asset that only rises when the hype train gains traction and then every bag holder sells to whoever they can?
As a crypto trader since 2013 I'll swear it's going to be the next reserve currency, I'll support the paradigm shift stock to flow BTC to 600 billion per coin BS because as a trader I know it's really just a cyclical speculative asset that pumps and dumps depending on the availability of excess liquidity.
Trade it, don't marry it, don't drink the koolaid.
