Iota now is 36 cents and that put the marketcap at 1 bil so by the time it hits 500, the market cap is 1.38 trillion.  that that leaves bitcoin at half a trillion. 

Simply because most people believe that the value of bitcoin should be higher than this so.  If there is a big dip, expect more investor to get their hands on to get price back up and reach a new ATH.  the people that dump it will buy it back at a higher price, this always happen lol

I don't think it will ever end, because block-chain is the future of payment but don't know that it will always be #1.

Right, back in the day when bitcoin first came out, did everyone invest in it? or did you think it was a scam.  True there are many articles about bitconnect is a ponzi, but there are also a lot of people getting good pay from it.  So until it actually shutdown, any opinions about it being a ponzi won't matter because it doesn't make people money.  Like banks using your money to invest and then build more banks and what do you get in return? nothing is 100%, high risk high reward, only invest in what you can afford to lose.

It's risky to invest in ICO now but that's also how you make a lot of money.  Research about the project and see if it even make sense.  Some project using block-chain for their service but in fact it could've done without so. If you invest in 1 good ICO, you make enough money to make 10 other bad one lol.
