Crypto has always been madness and defiant of all common laws and practices. The experts have been wrong about it at every single step. That you are describing the past times as a peaceful ocean, is quite worrying.

As far as I can tell, the futures are there only for BTC, not for other altcoins. What do you think, will some altcoins (especially Ripple, as it seems to be the least volatile of the bunch until now) become safe havens?

Or would they also be engulfed by the tidal waves caused by evil killer whales?
