Being early adopters isn't always a winning strategy. There could be plenty of opportunities to make money with other investment options depending on how long you are looking to wait for. I'd like to see a considerable rise over the next 12-18 months to return a bit of confidence to the markets. I have no doubt that cryptocurrency, in one form or another, is here to stay. My concerns are that 99% of the ones that currently exist will disappear, and it will be new players that reap the benefits. I'm sticking around, just grown a lot more cautious over the past year.
