The hype is over.

All the nerds into crypto have been here for months.

All the normies have been here since December/January and are now exiting after their losses.

Older people won't touch this shit because they're smart enough to not invest in a dying trend.

6K in a few weeks.

Common Response:
> This is just like last year, don't worry guys!!

No it's not like fucking last year. For starters, there were no major future contracts. Right now, there's more volume on Bitfinex and Poloniex than the entire Binance volume as a whole. There will never be a parabolic run ever again. Open up the chart, look at the long term trend, and stop telling yourself lies.

Remember this simple fact: When everyone thinks they're going to get rich off something, it's already too late. When your taxi driver wants to invest in crypto, it's too late. When your friend from high school calls you up talking about how he found a new get rich quick scheme through crypto, it's time to pack the bags, wish crypto a good farewell, and find another way to make money again.

Oh yeah I think it's safe to say that smart contracts and decentralised technology is fully integrated into the market to the point of saturation.
Wait a second, maybe it would be more accurate to say that this is literally the greatest technological revolution since the internet whose impact will be so massive that it is literally impossible to even envision it at the moment.
What happens when Joe Average can pay for his day to day costs with, say, a Monero card, but there is literally no way for the government to know (or tax) how much Monero he has? What happens when it's so easy to do this that every normie does it?
If you think crypto is anywhere but at the start, you're not paying attention.

There will be a few cryptocurrencies that will survive. You don't need thousands. They were meant to survive as forms of payments. No-one will fucking invest in cryptocurrencies until they're eventually and privately used by national governments.

Sure. Cryptocurrencies will never be fully decentralized globally though, and will never be used as a form of payment until they become private, which defeats the intended purpose.

The purpose of Bitcoin was for it to be used as a currency. That will never happen unless it is stable, and that stability will never happen until it ironically becomes centralized within governments.

The average person doesn't give a fuck and doesn't even know what any of this does. Money follows trends and hypes. If this 'revolutionary' technology did not make money, everyone would drop it within minutes, including 80% of this board that is now (unfortunately) infested with people trying to make money off openly advertised ponzi coins.

I actually agree with OP. I have no fucking clue why you people think that the adoption of blockchain means that we'll continue going up. Blockchain can be adapted and the market can still crash to zero. If anything mainstream adoption would mean that coins would need to be stable. And I'm willing to bet that not a single one of you fucks cares about blockchain as a technology, but only as a means to make money. What you want is more idiots falling for the ponzi scheme that ths crypto market is. Because there's no reason for any of the coins to have anything other than a stable value, and it doesn't even matter what that value is. Every coin could be exactly $1 and it wouldn't fucking matter. In fact that would be the preferable option for mainstream adoption.

>> No.7097898

Everybody who spouts memes about the new paradigm memes and the revolutionary aspects of crypto is wrong. Private ledgers will be the ones moving the bulk of all money, and most crypto projects are shit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Bitcoin, is in fact, the Bitcoin Core fork, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Bitcoin Limited. Bitcoin Limited is not a functioning cryptocurrency unto itself, but rather one component of a fully functioning peer-to-peer electronic cash system made useful by the Bitcoin blockchain, hashing algorithm and distributed network comprising a full peer-to-peer electronic cash sytem as defined by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Many users run a modified version of Bitcoin Unlimited every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, Bitcoin Limited which is widely used today is often called Bitcoin, and many of its users are not aware that it is actually a fork of Bitcoin Unlimited, developed by Satoshi Nakamoto. There really is a Bitcoin, and people are using it, but some have begun referring to Bitcoin as Bitcoin Cash.
Bitcoin Limited is a node implementation: a client that verifies and relays transactions across the network. a node is an essential part of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a distributed network. Bitcoin Limited is used in combination with the Bitcoin Blockchain: the whole system is basically Bitcoin Unlimited with a smaller block size. All the so-called “Bitcoin” implementations are really forks of Bitcoin Unlimited.

you obviously don't understand how shitty credit cards companies are for most businesses. credit card companies charge 1.5% to people they do like, and 3% to people they don't like. that would be .03 BTC for a 1 BTC transaction.

You don't realize this because you are vapid consumer. Companies don't charge their product, they charge their customers. You aren't the customer, you're the product. There's plenty of brainwashed fools who want to spend money they dont have, so to increase demand CC companies force retailers to pay the credit card fees. It used to be paid by the cardholder, back when adoption was lower.

Crypto market is global and is accessible to anyone who has internet. If you think that 500 billion is the most that this new GLOBAL market will reach then you are literally retarded.

Ah, you're one of those deluded types. I see.

You're right, but they won't listen. The market cap went 40x last year. It's over, it's been over, the norman money is in, the institutional money is in, we went parabolic and it's never going to happen again. We're late and it hurts so bad.

People said the same thing in 2015 when BTC was like $300. I'm not saying I expect ETH or BTC to hit 100k but I doubt it's over.

I fell for this FUD years ago and I regret it so much 'BTC will never go above $500 again', 'ETH is a scam', 'crypto is dead' and I sat there being all smug laughing at all the people who got burned by the crash.

I'm fully aware this could go belly up but had I taken the risk 1-4 years ago I would be in a much better place now. I had 40k sitting in my bank doing absolutely nothing when ETH was $1 and even when it was up to $10, if I end up losing a few thousand and this doesn't work out at least I can say I tried but if crypto continues to grow while I'm on the sidelines I will feel like a biggest idiot in the world.

So sell and never come back you fucking pathetic weak handed cuck.

The fact there are so many weak handed shit faces whining about missing the train and crying every time bitcoin goes down 10% is PROOF it will moon like fuck.

20k in a month or two.
Cry then for being a retard and not buying at 10k.
We won't see a long bear market this time because too many people are FOMO AS FUCK. first sign of reaching 15k and we will shoot like those Japanese dildos with a built-in ejaculation system.

It doesn't matter if it has volatility if you intend to keep it for a couple of years. Gold has massive volatility too.
