Such a pessimistic view but I suppose it's just as valid as the optimistic views.

The truth is, as I understand it, NOBODY knows and we have people from both sides claiming they have some predictive insight to prove their view when in reality it's all just guesswork.

The crypto market is still a tiny little fetus that is slowly taking shape while we're all waiting for it to be born and achieve its true potential.

There isn't enough data to accuratly predict the Crypto market yet. This is why it's such a volatile marketplace.

However, my guess is the market is going to continue to grow and grow for the next 5 years at least. Whether Bitcoin holds onto its dominant market share is hard to tell. My best guess is, this will fluctuate with media attention and investments going into smart contract blockchains. I think Bitcoin will always stay above 20% market share.

But like I said earlier, this is all guesswork. Investing in Crypto is ALWAYS a risk which is why you can earn some serious returns in a short amount of time. Anyone investing in crypto should be aware that Quantum computing could make a giant leap forward next week and solve the cryptographic problems that keep blockchains secure. (This is why I only have confidence in Crypto for the next 5 years)
