This next rally could blow lots of little people's minds.
The banks have been "blockchaining" for 2years and what have they got to show for it? A bale of cotton was shipped using "blockchain trade finance" ... wtf? was that cotton going to be used to print more fiat or what? I'm not getting that blockchain profit vibe, sounds like pure BS.
There's cup 'n handles on many time scales so the boom could be impressive ... and an impressive bitcoin move means 10x-15x. On the ground adoption around the globe with lots of little people thirsty for real money slurping up BTC like a desert flood has drained away all the excess bitcoins. BTC price moves after the adoption reaches a level to drag it to a new price regime, such is skepticism and bearishness surrounding crypto0currencies ... noone believes us, yet still it works.
Exponential growth is a numbers game that not many people can be trained to get their brains around.
Also, most people in bitcoin ask about/wait for "mass adoption by the "avergae Joes"". Which is hilarious, it is so not going to work out like that; all new tech got adopted by: first, a small intellectual elite who understands the paradigm shift; second: capital injection from a marginal but very wealthy part of society whom are ready for high risk/high profit scenarios, and has good advisors/insight; third: than last "Average Joe" has no other way (! it is not his choice, it is mandatory for him!!) than adopt as well, because remaining with the old tech is below marginal utility/1.
Same happens and will happen with bitcoin, we are kinda of the "intellectual elite", banks, ETFs, hedge funds etc. are the capital injection, and "average Joe" will be too late to make early adopter profit - we are speaking of 100x-10000x wealth increase on wealth redistribution here from fiat to crypto - as usual (but still going to enjoy "risk free, already established advanced technology).
edit: just as the "average Joes aka mass" among my colleges, friends; was telling them to buy bitcoin "just in case" for two years by now (last summer it was around 230$!!), yet they never did. They totally gonna miss out the wealth distribution effect (not 700$, but 7000$+ as well), like 98% of the world population.
