Re: I am looking forward to the crypto ice-age....
Nice thought, but it won't happen. There will always be a new crop of true believers. And cryptocurrencies are ideal for that purpose, because they're easy to explain in a vague, non-technical, hand-waving fashion for the foolish (such as celebrity endorsers), but wildly complex underneath to please the nerds.
And because they're online and involve no physical or face-to-face interaction, they can take advantage of network effects and quickly balloon to huge sums. And that means there will always be some people who bail out at the right point and end up with a real profit, to encourage the losers to try again.
