when it dropped and all coins drop... the crying began in every coins thread lol.
Mostly all the fresh blood in crypto brought in by the promise of huge profits in the digital gold rush. Many of them don't understand how the market works, or how volatile it is. That is why it's important to only invest what you can afford to lose.

Yes but I still think that there is an overwhelming amount of people still not involved with crypto. They might push the market even further in 2018. However, the number of projects to pick from will also grow exponentially so it's uncertain how much projects will benefit from fresh money individually. It's definitely good to be among the top cryptos on CMC.
I like your point. I'm hearing that more money will be "coming into crypto" this year from institutions and private citizens. But as you point out, that money will be distributed over many projects, most of which are not really cryptocurrencies but illegal securities. These coins will be unusable for real purchases until the prices stabilize, but the prices may never stabilize. There are many reasons to doubt crypto, but the allure of huge gains will continue drawing people in - just like with Madoff!
