And I doubt the best place for a stable, safe investment will ever be Bitcoin. People looking for safe investments tend to appreciate those backed by large governments that they already trust (for better or for worse, that's a different story).

But at least this downturn in the crypto market means that entrepreneurs will have more space to focus on building innovative payment solutions without being overwhelmed by "get rich quick" kids trying to make a million bucks without understanding the platform. Sooner or later those payment solutions will become more mainstream, and then this calm before the storm will in retrospect be quite important.

bitcoin stays relatively valuable as long as the worlds population doesnt start questioning the legitimacy of that index, the bitcoin founders have created.

coinmarketcap cements basically bitcoin above other cryptoprojects, it even bans, the listening of big projects, it creates an asymetric situation in the market that puts bitcoin above all other cryptos and dennounces the competitors as "shitcoins"
