Crypto currency was created out of novel ideas. The problem is that these novel ideas in the digital world are not entering the realworld. What is meant here is to say that many people in the crypto-sphere aren't into crypto. They're into FIAT. I dare people go mainstream and sell their used car or their phone on craigslist using a cryptocurrency. Almost no one will do it. That is because many people, in the back of their mind believe crypto to be a ponzi scheme where they can enter the bull run and exit before a collapse.
If you are a true believer in crypto, what are you waiting for? Buy and Sell with it in the real world. What are you waiting for? All of these HODL people who aren't using their coin by selling it in a real world application or by refusing to price the coin at the intended rate (the goal they believe their coin will reach) are nothing more than a JOKE.
Now, that brings me to my next problem. Miners and day traders.
Miners are tanking coins. They want the quickest bang for the buck. For some reason, they itch to sell at bid rate and drive prices down. Very stupid if you ask me. Then you have day traders who sell in a panic when they see the price falling.
Lets get this straight. If the price of crypto does not go up, kiss it good bye. Why do you think the government hasn't banned it State side? Because they have a pretty good hunch these irresponsible and idiots I keep fuming about will make it crash and go to zero.
I believe it is essential that anyone holding coin begin selling at their own rate they wish their coin to be at. People buy during the bull run and sell in a panic when it gets bearish. This means miners would need to stop getting an itchy trigger finger and actually sell at better rates and so would day traders.
If the price doesn't go up, the coin will fail. Its not going to stay at the current rate. We need adoption and proper pricing. Without these we essentially own worthless lines of code.
