RE: My prediction on Bitcoin
I think it only takes one significant failure and we could be in real trouble. In my book it could be Tether/Bitfinex (worth atleast $761 million) or BitConnect (worth $891 million) if they go down then it will smash sentiment badly. It is possible that the first actually causes the 2nd to go down like a domino.
Thats the things, there's going to be a failure, somewhere with something. Crypto's fail every week, just none of the big ones yet.
I would almost put money on Bitconnect disappearing very rapidly. It just screams scam.
Tether I think will stay around, people don't hold it to gain value, it should be seen as low risk. I like it as its cheaper and quicker to trade with than BTC, and its cleaner on my spreadsheets in terms of fiat value.
I do agree and have used Tether quite a lot. But Tethers recent hack and drama plus the Steem Dollars going through the roof soon after has me a bit spooked. If done properly Tether is a great concept and immensely valuable to the alt-coin trading ecosystem but the current implementation of Tether looks shadier every time I look at it.
