I have a similar vision that what will finally break the overall downtrend of the market will be the few assets that have delivered on economically viable protocols and projects (like Steem) will outperform and gain demand over those that will ultimately fail for lack of adoption or development. This will lead to sectors within crypto that will become more uncorrelated to bitcoin goin forward, similar to what we see ib stock markets where bank sector and tech sectors could trade with different valuation changes on a daily basis.
