RE: Ethereum vs Ripple for 2nd place? 2018 will be interesting
Manipulation and Bullying of XRP is partly gain of their success, cryptocurrency has entered into a very sad place, you can now use money and influence to write a narrative and sell your story... the ambush started with CMC removing SK rates and then the narrative now "ETH" inches closer to "BTC", oddly enough I remember the same pitch was done in April of 2017, BTC then went on the blast through 4000 reaching 20K at its peak and those behind it enjoyed the ride....
This space is turning into a "Herd Mentality" if you don't support their narrative, you would be bullied out of the race, one way or another, the faster some of these on-ramp service providers move away from BTC the healthier it is for the market and overall cryptocurrency community... We need radical disruption of this herd mentality or else its a potential cancer endangering all of us
Interesting view! I think that once the hype dies down (although we are far from that at the moment), the good coins will have their chance to stabilise and grow while the hype coins bleed. It will be on interesting year! I'll be covering a different coin every day on my page if you're interested in learning about different cryptos.
I see it similar; really good ideas may fall in between but they are always somehow on the rise but the bad ideas are just hyped and evacuated like betting in the casino. If you want to change that, you canonly invest in coins with a great whitepaper and spread the word on steemit and you will make profits as well!
