I believe the power of Bitcoin and Monero (I see virtually NO other useful blockchain projects) will be stronger than the power of traditional finance. And as the "big boys" pick it up to "fix" it, control, it etc they will be changed more than it is.
God I hope that is true, I believe it too BUT remains to be seen.
Been in a discussion lately with a good friend (only real world person I know who's also into crypto) and his confidence has been badly shaken by the speed and depth of this CryptoWinter period we're in now.
I still believe, however.
Question remains, you said "bitcoin and monero" and XMR of course but... WHICH "bitcoin"??
I think there are a few other possible worthy contenders too... DigiByte appears possibly the last genuine opportunity to buy ANY "real crypto" under a penny.
Oh, maybe even Doge too, LOL.
But not much else, really.
Either it'll all fail or one of these, XMR BTC BCH DGB DOGE (any others?) -OR- something that does NOT EXIST yet... will prevail.
P.S. {Edit} Forgot left out Litecoin in there... only on the *theory* that MAYBE if BTC really becomes "gold for bankers" and $50 transaction fees to move $1 Million per coin, then little-brother LTC tags along becoming as the transaction-purpose coin. This is the THEORY I believe Litecoiners cling to, but... anyone really believe it will actually play out this way??? I have no clue so don't attack me on it, just sayin'... LOL
