a very clear presentation that makes sense even to someone as crypto-impaired as me. Whether or not Bitcoin becomes widely accepted as a digital market currency or continues hampered by its anonymity and past Silk Road associations, it is still the standard for all other coins. It really comes down to expectations of traders/investors as you pointed out, and I think taking a long view is the best course rather than hoping it tanks and buying in to make a quick buck. As usual, a very balanced and sane analysis.
