Patience could really pay off on altcoins.
More likely that patience will be rewarded with - fuck all.
I expect Bitcoin to still be here in some form in another decade or more. I really, really can't see the average alt being anything more than a forgotten footnote that'll be looked back on and laughed at.
As for Mr. Coinbase, I wonder how much he paid in therapy to summon the courage to write the word 'Bitcoin' for the first time in several years? It must have caused him a great deal of psychic pain so I assume he was surrounded by yogis, healers and was being breast fed while he typed it with shaky fingers.
Note he did add 'for better or worse' as a small out.
I'd love to know why so many of these large crypto companies actively dislike the one thing keeping them afloat. I guess it's because it's bigger than them.
