First off, you cannot rule anything out until you have concrete data and it will take time to get that; this is new. I remember people saying that the internet would not workout and they are changing their tunes about BTC also.
As far as the new exchange, i believe the youth will embrace it. Bitstake has a unique platform that allows P2P lending, must-staking, and host of other features. They have a alternation-crypto coin (ticker) XBS that trades on the the Bittrex exchange and will trade on their exchange as well. Many will be drawn to it over BTC because it has more features and it a smaller market cap than BTC. (currently 1.3 million coins @$50K market cap). Once they see it going up in value 500-1000% a month, they will crowd into it. If you are smart, you wold be buying some now, before the exchange opens on April 1st.
Here the link to purchase on Bittrex. It is a trusted exchange:
https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-XBS1% of all the coins would only cost 2 btc ($523) at the current value. It will cost 10x more , if you wait for the exchange to open up on April 1st. And, will only go up and up.

I own some XBS and I am trying to buy all i can at the moment. I believe this is like buying BTC at 5 cents. Why not buy 2 btc worth? If i am correct, i make a fortune. If I am not, I lose $500 dollars. I spend more drinking in Miami on a good night...a VERY good night.
