Okay, just wondered. :D
Yeah, that could happen - I have analyzed xrp as well but there are way better coins imo. The team does not xrp want to go up too much - they want it to be quite stable.
Yes, many coins will die.
But crypto is much bigger and younger and it will not happen in 2018. Maybe in 2019 or 2020 - but that is not sure (okay, nothing is certain).
However, a crypto winter will come and then all the "pro traders" will lose haha - in a bullish market everyone is a Warren Buffett.
Could be like that - we will see, but I mostly agree with you.
Peace my friend. (;
