Good analogy Kevin, because like a wave, it swells forward and backward; remember this time last year? It was swelling, and now it is again! I get a feeling it is more sustainable this time; I think it's about to break over the banks of the internet. :-)

Plenty of metrics should that it's indeed more substantial than we were at last year! I'm already getting 10x more IRL friends recently asking me about cryptos in general and that's quite a sign..
@kevinwong & @cryptogee... YES... Agree with You Both... it seems there is now a "critical mass", a significant, dynamic/scalable Crypto WAVE that is currently encompassing the entire planet while each country's domestic currency suffers from decades of over-printing.
"FASTEN Your Seatbelts"... because this summer I believe there will be a surge of MONSTER Waves that is building right before our eyes... (( This scenario is explained pretty well in this YouTube video link below:))...
ALSO... IF You like the feeling of actually being "Inside the TUBE"... see one of my latest posts from the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii... ( This is a shameless plug... >> : ~ ))

Click the link above for an incredible photographic view of being "Inside the TUBE"
This is a metaphor... those that are holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Steem & other viable, functional, useful & practical crypto... WILL Be Riding the Crypto WAVE... instead of being CRUSHED by holding fiat currencies in various forms of stocks, bonds, real estate or savings accounts.
Thank You again Kevin for Your insightful, ongoing Posts...Have a Great Week !!
Thanks for the link :) We'll see how the game turns out to be. But what I think is people with plenty of capital could finally see there are great ways to distribute their wealth in cryptos more effectively.. well that's what i think about what's happening, with Bitcoin being that first blackhole :)
Kevin, You're more than welcomed... You really create some Great Posts igniting the minds of those who read Your posts.
I believe You are correct and the "proof is in the pudding"... Total Market Cap went from around $20 Billion to $100 Billion in about 60 days... of course, it took about 9 years to get to $20 Billion.
HOWEVER, now we see the Market Cap at $115 Billion with a normal pullback, resting/waiting period for the NEXT WAVE to reach $150 Billion... most likely to "appear" within the next 30 to 45 days.
Time as we know it... is being compressed, so that each consecutive WAVE tends to come FASTER & FASTER... because of the decades of abusive GLOBAL fiat currency creation.
Thanks Again Kevin... Great Post / Great Metaphor !!
Yes, me too! Although I do think that is more linked to the much publicised boom in Bitcoin recently. Though there is definitely splash back onto Steem because of it :-)
