the crypto market, especially if (a) there are no more big thefts, and (b) some of the tech problems are solved, (c) will continue to grow. It’s not a matter of whether it will grow now. It’s a matter of whether 1) bitcoin will be replaced, or 2) the government takes it over or hyper regulates it, 3) or regulates it into a crash. I can promise you that it will be regulated. I can almost promise you that the govt will resort to some sort of BTC like currency at some point in the future because it’s simply too cheap and information-producing compared to paper and credit fiat money. And so for the near term I would consider it a short term speculative investment opportunity if bought on the dips AND if you are keeping track of competitors that solve the technological problems – including proof of work, zeroing at a certain market value/accumulating fragment-values, and archiving (cataloging) chains.
