Well, there are 7,6 billion people in the world. Like it or not even 1% is enough for cryptos to live on and survive all the FUD that was and is happening. I believe we are still in early stages of it and it is just a matter of time when more and more people will start embracing it.
However, we will not avoid stricter regulations as well. But it is a good thing - we cannot have sustainable cryptoworld in a wild wild west state. There should be some ground rules and regulations to abide by.
I do hope more and more projects start popping up with real life use. For now it seems most of projects are trying to solve money issues and decentralization of holdings. But we need more projects that are down to earth, like personal data management, consolidation of personal information which would be easily accessible and fast to get, use blockchain in aviation, automobiles industry, health industy, sports industry, etc. For now it is all about financial industry.
