This ebb and flow is making us wealthy. The money pumping into this, dominated by BTC, is driving a humanity altering technology. BTC may not be the king in the end, but when it all shakes out the what is important is that the winners have the characteristics defined by Satoshi. There is a lot of tech mixed in with this movement that doesnt meet that standard (ripple) but Im just hopeful this keeps up for a while longer before things settle out.
