I guarantee you there's people reading this thread with net worths of 10 million dollars on paper right now.   Of course it's not really money until you sell and withdraw into fiat.  This crypto run could keep going for a long time, or evaporate pretty quickly.  Early adopters always have the best advantage. It's always great when a company goes public when they are still small, rather than waiting until they are huge... then you can buy the stock cheap and really ride it up as the company grows. That's what cryptos are.. a growth area.. or they were.

I got a stake of NEM.. the smartest thing I could have done was absolutely nothing.. but I thought I was smarter then that, and thus my net worth is not as high... but all my money has been made from zero investment dollars on my part... it's all because of NEM.  If Xtrabytes ends up being what I think it will however, it should more than make up for it.

I'd rather the global market cap stay stable... my favorite stock market days are when the market is flat because small caps will still do well.  I don't want a huge run to $1T to happen in a week now only to have a bust... stable... slow growth.. relax a bit and take a breath....

I do have a prediction though... this will be the year another coin surpasses bitcoin's market cap.. one that is better scalable and not based on proof of work. That may be hard with all the exchanges trading altcoin pairs to BTC though. We shall see. It would be in everyone's best interest to save in transaction fees.
