You're right that crypto is not going anywhere. When you have so many use cases and so much talk about it, you know it is here to stay. There has not been this much hype/fud/news since the dot com era and we all know just how much the internet has changed our lives.

There is still a TON of things that need to be worked out going forward, you mentioned South Korea with their recent regulations. Me,, living in South Korea as an expat feel those regulations like a belt that has been tightened two notches too many, I have to open a new bank account in order to withdraw fund, and I am no longer allowed to deposit fund, at all. I am hoping this is just temporary, but still lots of work to be done.

The long short of it though, is crypto is just cementing itself as the next trillion dollar industry. It is going to continue to grow for the foreseeable future and all of us early adopters will reap the benefits
