I'm not a Bitcoin maximalist.

Also, not a person who's sensitive to numbers like 666 and 777. Just saying there may be a huge market correction despite many claims about Bitcoin currently being a total unworkable mess. This year is the first time that Bitcoin's dominance on cryptocurrencies have fallen way below 90%. But markets are like organisms, and people will continue getting themselves into Bitcoin until there are clear signals about its demise coming from high heaven.

Bitcoin's death has always been exaggerated, at least once every year since 2010. But it is still around. And yes, if you know me well enough, I'll bring up NNT's turkey problem here. A turkey would only think that it's going to continuously live a good life getting fed everyday.. until the butcher knife comes. Maybe the butcher knife is already here, but who knows?!

Personally, I think a 22 billion dollar market cap for the entire cryptocurrency industry is way too small. Probably wouldn't be much of a problem if you're a long term holder. Admittedly, most of my trades could've ended up much better if I was just holding, without watching the market at all.. although total negligence is more likely to be the worse thing to do.

Take care of your trades and assets. Try to diversify them. There are many gains to be had by throwing all of your money on the winning horse. But it'd suck if it's not the one! IMO, I find it best to have a stake in cryptos that I can actively play a role in. Imagine your actions actually adding up to the value of the market that you're into, giving it a kick in an upward trend. It doesn't get any more skin-in-the-game than that!

New kid on the block

I'm not going to lie. I was actually quite ecstatic the night before, watching Mitchell Loureiro @zurvanic's introduction on @ned's post at 5.30 in the morning! Good vibes. Upon doing a little more research on what he does, I found out that he is actually the guy behind one of the coolest projects that I've come across just a few days ago - http://www.santiment.net/. It's a crowd sentiment data platform for crypto-markets.

Not sure if I'm reading too much into it, but I personally see STEEM, Santiment, and Iconomi (another project that I'm supporting) being complementary platforms. Together, they may shake the foundations of fund management, ushering in waves of crypto-trailblazers in the new distributed economy. Or not!

Anyway, good times ahead!

Here's a track for the moment:-
