I believe it depends when it finally arrives. There is too much speculation on the next financial crash coming sooner rather than later, which would be bad for the crypto market in general, but good for those already well entrenched.

If we can manage another 2-3 years before the bottom of the cycle hits again, it COULD be long enough for crypto to have gained the market adoption needed to flourish in an economic downturn.

It depends on how much the crypto markets and infrastructures mature before the next downturn hits.

We are definitely on social media, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram - I'm still a newbie on here so links and pictures aren't allowed :-)

Not so new, although it did launch this year.

Given that Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis have yet to find a firm foothold (accuracy level) in the cryptocurrency markets, we have to accept that price action is very much dominated my market sentiment. Another word for sentiment is "feeling" or "emotion". I can't ignore the potential for market manipulation in crypto, but there is market manipulation in all trading spheres when the big players are shifting massive sums.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that we should let an overwhelming "good feeling" about a poor project or coin take the place of good sense or rationality, but how we react to news and price action charts is subjective (and subject to human emotion).

I would suggest that trying to eliminate emotion from trading is a counterproductive, emotions and feeling are part of our evolutionary make to help us spot signs and signals that we can't otherwise explain by empirical observation alone. If you have fantastic "evidence" that a project is about to moon, but you have a doubt that niggles at the edges, there is probably a good reason for it. It works the same way in reverse. I find an emotional control to be a better technique to weed out niggling doubts and to look closer, either confirming or dismissing the doubt.

Of course, this is all subject to opinion and mindset.

No, Exchanges aren't dead!
However, they may be changing. Up until recently, the standard has been for centralised, custodial exchanges, like the big names everyone knows Coinbase, Binance, Kraken etc. That trend seems to be changing somewhat, in the sense that newer exchange types are opening and reaching a level of maturity.

Non-custodial (straight exchange services) are cropping up and making a mark - especially those that facilitate fiat entry - not everyone can mine or produce cryptocurrency, they need to start somewhere.
Decentralised exchanges are gaining popularity  - even though liquidity isn't high right now, the more people that use them the liquidity will increase.
Atomic swaps, it's not an exchange as such but a method of exchanging between individuals that could become more prevalent in the future as the market grows.

I have a vague idea/theory about the roles of different types of exchanges in the future, but that needs more research and "fleshing out" before I can explain it so that it makes sense.

Cryptocurrency is great, but I doubt that more than a fraction of the global population knows this, and an even smaller fraction understands why.
So many factors influence the minds of those not intimately acquainted with encryption, finance, and the underpinning principles of cryptocurrency that those same minds can be swayed by media/government propaganda, the negative opinions of others, and bad press.
