Crypto currency has a greater future no doubt and we have already seen it since the inseption of Bitcoin in 2009 ehen its value was below a dollar and now above $8,500 as at time of this post.
The future of cryptocurrency matters on how it works and how it runs now a days . It matters also to the demand and even how useful cryptocurrency is.
Well, the mt. gox folk have to move 1.4 Billion USD in BTC ...probably by the end of the year (I can't see this going into the 3rd year, is it?)
that is 250 million say a month, to give them time to wrap up stuff by years end....again IMHO
so sideways is the best we can do for now in the near future
for say 2020 timeframe...my guess is 25k coin than for btc....too many people want 'cheap coin' and it will be FUD city till then
but hopefully, there is not that much drama to stall the price that long
