XRP is down for a reason (SEC, Delisted, etc.). Last week I saw XRP shillers countering people telling most of the alts are down because BTC is down.

But now it is clear. Bitcoin price is higher because Bitcoin is already TECHNICALLY BETTER than any other altcoin and not because of the network effect. In 2017, Bitcoin dominance was lower, some altcoin reaches almost the same level as Bitcoin. So network effect is not what prevents an altcoin to take the lead but it is the fact that almost all altcoin that pretends to be better than Bitcoin are technically flawed. More projects will be recognized soon. As more people will be convinced by a project with a lot of innovations and achieve to be as the Decentralized KING...

Stakenet is not too bad. XSN who's soon ready with a DEX of their own featuring BTC LTC ETH XSN and many other projects. This is the ONLY instant tradeable DEX's in the world as it makes use of 2nd layer transactions. Uniswap-like interface, but an instant, and virtually feeless trading.

Their DEX's only has BTC LTC and XSN right now, but Ethereum is being integrated shortly. If you really want to be the guy selling shovels this coming Bullrun, get yourself a masternode, and profit off of the trading fees on the DEX. This is by far one of the best ''DEFI" projects out there, and getting listed on a top 20 exchange real soon.
