I can't add to this discussion about hope, but I can express how I see it.
Bitcoin went up when it was finally discovered by the masses and news, and subsequently crashed when the new bagholders got cought with their pants down. Meanwhile everybody and their brother was making and pumping their own coins and tokens.
The phrases of lambo, moon, hodl; etc, should not be used by anyone but the most inexperienced anymore.
If it is asset class, treat it as such.
This isn't a slam by any stretch on anyone. It is how I look at it. That's all. So please don't take it personally.
But what 'hope' do I give crypto-mania. None.
That said what do I expect of the market. I look at it like any other investment medium I involve myself in.
And right now I simply see the need of ongoing consolidation. It must continue to strengthen the industry and markets
We need not wait for fancy marketing products or company application or government acceptance. That should and will come with time.
What we need is for the weak to consolidate and the weaker to simply go away.
And that's where any hope would exist. That's where investing becomes reality and speculation becomes less of a factor.
