I think the Crypto-Currencies are poised to overwhelm fiat currencies. Not unlike fiat, they really are free floating, but the overwhelming difference is that they aren't centrally controlled. I don't see the manipulation happening. I'm pegging my future to Steem simply because I don't have a single penny to invest!!! here on Steemit, I can earn the respect of others, while building my "Portfolio". Anyhow I'm "Resteeming" this as if I can help you at all Jrcornel, but I do what I can.
