The market was great last year and some of my friends have grumbled that they "missed out" on the crypto market, but the point is that they haven't missed anything except for the beginning of a still emerging market. Being analyst in the IT world I look at things from a slightly different perspective than a casual investor. Behind these cryptocurrencies are actual business models and brilliant strategies that are the future of business and computing. What we saw in 2017 is only the beginning!
