I honestly think that it will become a billionaire's toy in the future and coins like XLM which offer incredibly fast and inexpensive transfers, will play the major role in the financial day to day transactions.
You are promoting XLM? If you have been in crypto for years, you must know that there are many other altcoins that have cheap transfer fees and fast to transfer it. For example, Tron (TRX), even provides a TRC20 network that requires no fee. You don't judge XLM only as of the fast and cheap altcoins. Regarding Bitcoin, it shouldn't be manipulated by few people only. There are a lot of people who joined in Bitcoin investment around the world. If they know Bitcoin is manipulated by a few people only, they won't join the Bitcoin investment anymore.
