The Machine marches forward, a great day. The community has weathered many storms and will weather many more, but I cannot help but think of the Late Jaques Fresco: He didn't have time to worry about how people would interpret his drive to make a better world, we too must be like him.
Now is the time to begin making businesses, Factories, physical locations to drive Cryptocurrency into the business cycle; this will prevent big drops, though it will require new accounting methods that we have yet to develop if we are to maintain the viability of these businesses.
For the People! For the Revolution!
I applaud your motivation and I too feel that cryptocurrencies are still in their early stages at the moment and have a long way to go. The legitimate coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Stellar etc will survive in the long term.
The less popular coins and tokens will most likely continue to disappear over time and this will boost the popularity of the big coins even further. I am confident that crypto will go mainstream in the next 5 years.
The volatility of this market has been going down over time which is a good thing since Bitcoin will be viewed as a stable currency like FIAT and people will feel less hesitant to trade with BTC when compared to the last couple of years.
