That's great and all, and I'm sure it will continue to climb, but there's no real reason to invest in these cryptos if you don't already have a stake in them from 2011, or if you're a multi-millionaire and happen to have 20 or $30,000 lying around.

The average person isn't interested in Bitcoin, and by all rights they should be looking into other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is a rich man's market. Frankly at this point, if you're just now investing in Bitcoin, you've been duped, unless that BTC is seeing a conversion to a lower currency. Even then, it's risky and the waters are real murky, even for Steemit. We'll see what happens over the next few years.
