Wrong, embarassed, humbled, but still hoping and expecting.

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

My fellow crypto friends. Don't you just love the way Bitcoin (and the market in general) just loves to serve out a little humble pie (actually a lot of humble pie) every few years. Well, we've all tasted it this time, and it was not pleasant. At all. Those with week stomachs are almost all but gone from the crypto dinner table. All that remains are the strong, hopeful, and expectant. Those with with the grace and humility to allow our crypto cook another chance. We will get another slice of the pie. Soon. And it will be delicious. So fret not my friends. The feast is about to begin.

Now that I've got the colorful intro out of the way, let me cut to the chase after a long time away and allow my followers to know that I am still well. I haven't pulled one ounce of crypto away (in fact, I have continued to increase my holdings all the while we've been down). The following is a chart of the Gartner Hype Cycle. I am sure you're all familiar. I suspected this pattern since 2016. My shocker came at the rapidity of it's fulfillment. I must admit, I never anticipated such rapid movement. But alas. Here we are.

Current prediction (seems laughable to attempt at this point). We are in the Trough of Disillusionment about to make our way out.

What you describe is that optimistic case, which I tend to agree with. One pessimistic case is that blockchain tech gets a reboot, which allows for the positive impact of blockchain technology without the need for high-priced tokens.

Yes, I'll reluctantly agree that the latter could be the case, though I'd have to research more the likelihood and plausibility of this scenario.
