the problem as i see it, is the fact that we have turned this wonderful technology into new age stock trading
probably 90% of the people involed in crypto trading do it for the profit. nothing wrong with that. it's just that most of people who own bitcoin/ethereum/xvg/eos or whatever own it, because they want to profit. the percent of people who actually use the technology is imo very low.
and if we eliminate this gambling aspect, 90% of the people leave, yes it will crash the market but it won't kill the technology. technology is revolutionary and it's here to stay. is it a bubble? yes? is it worthless? far from it. and also this bubble has the potential to inflate up by a factor of 10 before it may blow, there is still room.
