i'd rather just ignore the democratic cluster fuck ... all politics is the Science of Khaos + Laws of Division + The Craft of Diversion ... the boys in the back room never get the boot ... recast the characters, change the backdrop colors, keep the old script.
re:BIG10 or SWEET16
Likely Top50.
time frame
9-18months ... the exchanges get it ... and start structuring their own angle on each cherry ... there will be $, BTC, LTC, ETH, asset, etc. etc. driven markets ... so this is the first race. Notice Polo winning big at the moment? They are kicking the arses of the big boys who focused only on the
BTC ... because they offer a range of ALTs they have likely captured ETH and BTC markets, this is forcing the lot of top end exchanges to reconsider their concepts ... Krakken has started to take on more ALTs ... Korea is betting big on ETH ... Japan starting to heat up, and China/HK/Singapore/NYC/LONDON still scratching their heads ... NZ is underDog with a bite ... Swiss are crafty likely to react in a smart manner ... Sweden in the game ... Russia will come in on a Wave ... and loads of DEX platforms shaping up.
24-48 months out ... maturity, establishment, conventions, and terra firma.
60-72 months out ... global Facebook level network effect ... your grandma gets/uses/trades Kitteh coins.
6-12 months out ... the Fiat empire tilts towards the exit ... for decent-digital ... our door opens.
In 2011, BTC 'arrived', 7 years later ALTs will have 'arrived'. With greater mass and with greater momentum. Another bubble is happening right now, it will pop, and we will be looking at 12-24 month bear cycle, the question is ... What's the Top?
