I think that we haven't seen the beginning yet . . . there are still more people out there who don't know what cryptocurrency is than do. There will be dips along the way, but I firmly believe we will be going UP, UP, UP for quite some time.
A year from now though? Phew . . If it's anything like the first 6 months of 2017, hold on to your seats, we're in for a wild ride.
@shawnfishbit Agreed it's time to buy, hold, grow and mine.
I agree this is still the ground floor. Many people like myself for example just thought Bitcoin was the only coin (well the only one worth anything) until I saw some of the other coins growth in the last year, like etherium, dash, and litecoin. Then I finally began to get into cryptocurrency last week and have learned a lot in such a short time, but still have a lot more to learn. Mark Zuckerberg just talked about having universal income for people as more jobs become automated. I think a lot of social media sites are going to follow/adopt Steemit's methodology and have cryptocurrencies for people being active on their site. This can easily turn into a means of basic income for the masses in the years to come. Or if the government does agree to give out basic income in would be in the form of cryptocurrency.
