It will be an interesting year coming up.
One scenario that may happen is increasing deflationary pressure could put banks at risk of not having enough physical cash to go around for the everyday joe.
IN a deflationary situation precious metals look bearish for awhile.
So, in the interim ..... what ALT crypto benefits?
Or, is such a cash squeeze environment generally bearish for cryptos as a whole?

I think digital currencies can be a decent hedge against inflation for those with a high risk tolerance.
The next big growth opportunity lies in finding (and investing in) the altcoin that will eventually rise to challenge the crypto king.
