it is a logic rule: where are winners there have to be looser. if you you have big winners you have to have MANY looser.
that makes it so similar to the bet system and snowball systems.
low volatility will cause that people moving their capital into other opportunities because they want to make the fast money.
this makes the whole thing paradox because as soon as it is stable the gamblers go out and will cause a decrease. this is what you will see in the next few years.
there are actually more than 2000 crypto currencies in the market and another 10.000 startups in the waiting line.
even when they ALL say that the value of them is based on the limit of the coins there is no limit of the number of different currencies. they can produce unlimited "limited currencies" and the value of all them together will always represent the number of existing goods and services available.
with other words. this is a mega inflation what is just producing costs and no values.
the one and only value in this hype is the energy that is used to mine those coins. but this value is gone after the coin is mined. as i said: coal to ash and the ash shall be the
value. not very logic.

everything you said is completely true...the 1000-s of coins are a joke...nobody uses them for anything other than speculation or crime anyway...
I predict a multi year bear market for coins...it will keep going down in price and many users will be shaken out...but at some point it will become too attractive to not buy...for example if BTC falls to 100$ would you not buy some? yes it is a stupid ponzi coin but money is money
it is only a matter of time before this stuff pumps again...people are greedy and even though many got burned lately, time will heal their wounds and the greed will return...
