All the same summer for the markets was dead. Let's see what the fall will give us, I think there will be some revival in the market.
Well there are now more and more voices claiming that fall will repeat the pattern from last year, but I doubt that a lot. If that was the case then it would maybe start to rise slowly very soon and not out of a sudden in fall.
1 year cicle is too short, i think we will se a true alt season until 2020 with the bitcoin halving, about Ethereum i think the 2 reward per block is a good idea, it would be intersting when if this becomes a POS coin
It's not about the technical aspect I guess, it's about the adoption.
People will use crypto because it's getting popular now, the adoption is increasing but whales do not want the progress to reflect on the price
so they manipulate it hard.
Don't forget the present fiat currency crisis in the emerging markets.
in fact there is presently a powerful tide towards usd, returning from periphery.
however usd could be the next victim, being very fragile in itself.
i agree with a powerful wave toward cryptos, beginning soon.
People will NOT use it because it's getting popular. They will buy it because it's getting popular. So far it is still more convenient to use credit and debit cards than crypto. Those using crypto do it because they want to put it to the test and help with adoption, but that is only for crypto evangelists. To have the masses use it on a daily basis, a lot of things have to happen first.
