After the Stock Market crash of 2008 the FED lowered drastically interests rates and bought bonds. The stock market went up and up to unimaginable levels. Now the FED is raising interests rates and is selling bonds. Are we close to an imminent stock market crash? Will this cause more people to get into cryptos., and will the blockchain be the solution to the fake old dying system that we have lived in the last 100 years? In my humble opinion, the blockchain is going to be the solution to the corrupt current financial system that has promoted debt to the majority of the population and provided wealth to a very tiny percentage of the people of the planet. The blockchain offers transparency, it offers access to everybody, it is not centralized, it doesn't permit double spending, and there is no such printing money (dollars) out of thin air. The blockchain does not permit cheating, it does not permit adding or deleting digits with a click of a mouse. I believe Blockchain and Cryptocurrency will get an amazing amount of adopters in 2018. We will probably see hedge funds moving to the blockchain and leaving Wall Street in order to offer transparency and survive! 2018 will be a year of many surprises, some good and some bad. We will see some bankers and politicians going to jail. We will see people of good faith and good values helping others and institutions into the process of the migration of the old dying system into the blockchain system for a better distribution of the wealth.
