It's really hard to say. After all, the crash in 2009 is what helped create Bitcoin. However, crypto right now has so much influence from cash markets, it most certainly will equate to lower prices in

Man, I have no idea how to promote or boost or spend STEEM, pretty much its an afterthought in my whole presence on this platform. D-Tube and Steemit are interesting because its blockchain based, so that's

Great post man, I enjoyed reading it.
