It started in 1997

Hashcash was the first Crypto, in 2009 followed by Bitcoin

20 years later it went mainstream

Now 21 years after HashCash, invented by mister Adam Back involved with Bitcoin {BTC} Core, things really took off in the Cryptos realm. And it looks like the total market capacity for Cryptos will be bursting through the 1 trillion USD value within a few days. It is quite hectic on the market, people want to get in on it. What is cheap, new and undervalued? Hoping for a large Return On Investment {ROI}. There is a run on Cryptos happening right now and it is a booming business. It really seems that Cryptos have become a mainstream subject. The alternative is being adopted by the many. The new year just started and we can already see how the breakthrough of 2017 probably will rocket in 2018. These are exciting times for Cryptos. And blockchains that can handle the pressure will surely rise amongst those who cannot deliver. So for Bitshares, Steem, Golos, Peerplays and the soon to be EOS the future is looking very bright. They are ready for it, like no other blockchain system out there.

Now is the momentum of the silent Cryptolution. Sure the market is showing the effects of ROI-hunters pumpin-n-dumpin, cashing in on the leverage gain, it is a kind of chaotic now. Bitcoin BTC is losing its market dominance rapidly, currently at about 33%, and I consider this to be a good developement. With Schnorr signatures comming and SegWit getting implemented by Coinbase and Bitpay it looks like it is going to be a boost for Bitcoin BTC valuem again though. It will prove to be more than the digital equivalent of gold. And I guess mister John McAfee will be very happy to see it on the rise again. As it appears he still has his pecker bet on it to go towards 500'000 USD in value. Well, the next couple of days might put him at rest again. It looks like BTC is on the verge of another breaktrough. When some good news goes viral this will move some big amounts of capital back into Bitcoin. At least that what I expect to happen soon.

It is going fast now

In Nederland the companies that sell Cryptos have a real challenge in being able to serve the high demand. It really surprised me to see the speed in which this is becoming mainstream. There is one Nederish based company that had 400'000 signups in a short amount of time. The helpdesks of these companies are way behind, they can not keep up with it anymore. Who could have forseen this? But for a part it is due to their lack of automation, or so it seems to me. What it also tells me that there is a long waiting list for people wanting to get in on the Cryptos rocket ride. Those who currently have to wait to be able to get what they want, now that is quite a build up... My expectations in this are at least half a billion in Euro ready to buy Cryptos. And that is in Nederland only, where we have just about 17 million inhabitants, about the amount that a city like New York has. Can you imagine the impact that is comming?

Currently I am explaining Cryptos to a growing number of people in my own social circle. Also an opportunity for me to promote Steem and other DPOS based blockchains. Because, if you cannot buy them, then why not earn them? That is a real situation in Nederland and I guess in a lot of other countries also. And this might be another momentum for Steem. So I did start Tweeting about it in my native tongue Nederish. Even though I know it is being filtered a lot these days, same goes for Facebook. But the word will be spread eventually. As far as I know there is no other platform that has its own Crypto Tokens to reward its contributers, curators, investors and witnesses with. And that can handle close to 1.4 million transactions a day, only using 0.11% of its capacity. To prove that there is only one real number one, I do often share the link that shows the raw power of Steem. This is not to be seen at CoinMarketCap dot Com. The only one showing the real raw blockchain muscle is Blocktivity dot Info. And I do invite you to share that website address, take screenshots to post on insta, get the facts out there. It really shows how powerfull DPOS blockchains really are!

More will come

With the Smart Media Tokens comming this will open a door to an endless amount of possible applications, using the Steem blockchain. Those who get in now, will be very glad they did. Why? Because this is a platform where they can actually earn Cryptos. That does not stop at Steem or Steem Back Dollar {SBD}, it only just has began. Next boost Smart Media Tokens {SMT}. And the SMTs are a chance, it is Steem 2.0, the new beginning, this is going to be a game changer. Nobody needs to be a visionary to understand this. Imagine a special SMT for photography, working just like Steem. Of course there will be all kinds of rubish ones too, that just want to make a quick buck, but over time, they will fade out, just as fast as they came. The best will stay for the long run. And you will be able to trade them on the internal market. And this is just a small part of what can be done with SMTs.

There are Cryptos for everyone, it almost has to be as diverse as it is, just to be able to handle demand. As I forsee that this soon will become a huge run on any Crypto that is out there. Even think I will HODL my Slothcoin, as you may never know. Okay I do not expect it really, just am one of those SLOTH sentimentals, also known as Slothies. But there are many out there that really will be bought by the millions. Just like many Assets, on blockchains like Bitshares, will rise. This already can be seen on the chaotic behaving Crypto market right now. So the TULIP asset might be even doing well on the WAVES DEX soon. It is almost like a huricane where there is silent in the middle of it. That is what I am looking for right now, because I do feel the itch of a multiple FOMO {Fear Of Missing Out} when I look at the Crypto market movement right now. It is hard for me to predict which ones are going to go up and stay there and which ones will go down.

Stay calm and HODL

These are exciting times, but even that has been stated before. As it will be stated more after today. For Steem and other DPOS blockchain based Cryptos the future is looking very bright. The proof of muscle is in the amount of transactions that can be done, over a million a day, without breaking a drop of sweat. In the Steem community the members can earn their way into the realm of Cryptos. ZERO transactions fees, so who is still using Paypal? And not matter if Steem is going towards $1850 in value, it still will be ZERO fees, how many Cryptos can state that. Offering a way to earn Cryptos in the proces? It is unique and it will become even more special when the Smart Media Tokens arrive.

To me it is almost too much excitement. There has to be a Yin to my Yang, I need to find again my ZEN. Looking at the Coin Market Cap constantly can really pump that adrenaline, fill the gut with too much FOMO {Fear Of Missing Out}. For me this means it is time to find the eye of the storm. It has been a great ride so far and it will become even more crazy in a short while. But whatever you do, only invest in Cryptos what you are willing and able to lose.

It is great to be part of the silent Cryptolution...

May the Cryptos be with us!

The raw power of DPOS blockchains really shows
