Where are we on the chart?

Did you really think a massive bullrun like december wont be followed by a massive correction? Market penetration isnt 1:1 with market fluctuation.

...

but they have heard of it, they just arent interested

even the vast majority of PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS do not own any bitcoin

we are still so fucking early in this game

There arent even any fintech blockchain solutions being used yet. This is purely the innovation stage.

Crypto as a currency already failed. Token economies on the marketplace fail next.

The real money is investing in companies which offer blockchain solutions that are idependant of market pressure.

It is entirely possible to create a distributed ledger with nodes, while cutting out joe dumbfuck and his $100 position and ni hao whale and his $100 million attempt to control the tolen market for your infrastructure.

You will all be disappointed, bit not if you get into IPOs for groups working on this right now, when they go public.

End of a short term bubble yeah, but more and more people are getting into crypto. The market penetration graph is for long term performance.

Did people use the internet less after the . com bubble?

Half of the population of America doesn't have a single penny in the stock market. Do you really think that crypto can get to the point where half of Americans are invested?

This scare anyone else? The insane growth of crypto forums in the past 3 months. IDK feels like all the people who were on the fence about crypto took the plunge all at once, and the "dumb money" resource is mostly spent now. There's not gonna be december 2017 levels of growth ever again. Whales recognized that and secured their profits.

>the vast majority of PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS do not own any bitcoin

Thanks that makes me way more confident in it bro.

BTC = laggards
ETH = early majority
Alts = innovators

>Asking this question when blockchain/tangle is still a baby
Take a chill pill lads

it should

...

Yeah I'm sure they just haven't heard of it yet, it's still really obscure.

they have obviously heard of it, no need to be facetious with me here

how many people do you think are waiting for a bitcoin ETF to appear on the NYSE
there are so many traders that do not have the intention to open a coinbase account and trade bitcoins because they dont understand it, dont trust it, dont want to get burned by "the bubble" etc.

but it will change

eventually it will become clear that bitcoin is not going away

do you think ETFs were mass adopted in their early days? you know that the entire system of ETFs is only like, a few decades old right? the first one ever was created in 1993. And now it is one of the most highly traded financial instruments available

>Arthur did you hear about that new thing skippin around town? I think the youngins are callin it an auto wheely

>Jumpin jesus Agnes don't talk about that there automatic cart puller in this house, that thing can go up to 10 miles per hour! It will blow the skin right off our bones! Besides we got ol' bessy to pull our cart into town. Those fordfags are delusional

Any advice on where to invest shekels?

Check out what Maersk is doing with blockchain, as one example. They are developing their own logistics solution for shipping, and its not going to use public tokens.

Buy LINK.

Seriously though, crypto is still being treated as a scam and a get rich scheme by most people. Real investors don't even know what blockchain is. Once serious projects start making progress on their roadmaps and it becomes more clear what this new technology is capable of it will really take off and those of us holding onto legit coins will profit.

The key here is Target Market
Cause 90yr old grandpa isnt buying doesnt mean shit
If you count people under 40, then its early majority already

put it on a ten year timeline and we are still innovators.

remember how facebook and twitter was in 2007/8? how it felt like everyone had an account - but it still managed to grow ten years later. or amazon in 2007? ebay in 2000? people smarter than you will find a way to force this down people's throats, and will get rich doing it.

what is a 401k? What are RRSP investments, What are EESPs? Come on man. Socialism is a fucking true Ponzi scheme

Decentralized currency is technological adoption, not investing despite what Veeky Forums will tell you.

I studied this innovation cycle shit and I am really confident we are here. 2018 will be the year of the highest gains ever. Then it will slow down the next years until 2020/21 solid companies with solid coins and real customer needs is everywhere.

Thats the point. maybe 30% have heard about it, but 1% are holding coins.
And we are only talking about the industrial countries. We have to take a look worldwide. Nigeria, Kongo, ... half Africa with 2 billion (and increasing 10%/year) have no fucking clue about it. About 4 billion ppl (50%) on earth have not heard about bitcoin yet.
If you think about this, you get a complete whole new perspective and feel fucking comfy.

desu shithole country adoption, while not insignificant, won't be the deciding factor in actual adoption.

so buy stellar?
