PeopleUnited saysif cryptos are still going strong in 20 years
Will you still be alive in 20 years? Serious question.
It's getting interesting:
Could go either way. I'm still hoping for a serious crash.

Ripple – Banks Go All-in!
Top banks like the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM)(NYSE:CM) are using XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) for payments!
WTF do banks care. If their gamble doesn't pay off, they just cry they are a societal necessity and get a bail out. Of course they are taking any and every moral hazard and risk. WTF is your point?

A recent report has also shown that Bitcoin mining revenue rose 206% in 2021 despite many countries cracking down on crypto mining and China even banning it. The US has become the nation with the most Bitcoin miners.
To be fair, at around that time, behemoths like Global Crossing, WorldCom, Lucent Technologies, etc, went into the toilet. The fact of the matter was the hi-speed access was too expensive as T3 lines were only affordable for big corporations.

Let me make a comparison to a more mature market.
The following is a multi-year chart of the EUR vs USD, with the 50 bar exponential moving average (EMA) as the indicator on the chart. As anyone can observe, when the spot price is above the 50 EMA, there are more bullish trading opportunities (in green) than below it. And when it's below the 50 EMA, bearish events (in red) tend to be more common.
Now, contrast the above with that of BITCOIN vs USD. Whenever the 50 EMA is tested, the bearish opportunities are sparse and really don't even given bonafide short sellers much time to maneuver w/o a near term rally taking 'em out.
All and all, that's a bullish market with a high amount of sentiment on the upside. So until we see a general overall market meltdown, I'm not calling curtains on the cryptos.
