I like Shadow so don't think for a second this comment has anything to do with the coin.  But, this is misplaced optimism.  IMO, crypto will die a painful death if BTC fails, unfortunately.  If BTC fails the public's perception of crypto will be terribly damaged.  The only thing left of the crypto world will be this community and even that will be significantly cut down.  People selling BTC for fiat right now are not putting their money into another crypto, they are probably done forever. Stop rooting for BTC to fail, it's just stupid.
