        I read a story some young guy at college chucked some money into the joke crypto Doge and then checked his account he's a millionaire.

        Now the question is, sell now or wait until billionaire levels of wealth?

          Something to consider with the cryptoverse.

          How much "excess" money is there looking for a quick profit? Well, turns out, people aren't exactly hard up, especially in the USA due to all this free "stimulus" money.

          https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/19/b...oom/index.html

          Consumers have $5.4 trillion in excess savings. That could unleash a global spending boom


          Some of that is going to end up in these crypto tulipcoins, and the profits made will be staggering on the up.

                  Here's a question ... is there enough money to cover the 'value' of crypto coins? Or is their 'value' still tiny in the grand scheme of things?

                  I find it ironic that this new money is valued in dollars

                    The current total market capitalization of crypto is over $2 trillion, of which bitcoin accounts for about half ($1 trillion).

                    If it was go up another 10-fold, it would equal US GDP ($20 trillion). If it went up 20-fold, it would equal the size of the entire US stock market ($40 trillion).

                    If it keeps sucking in more and more capital, Governments and central banks around the world may start to view it as a threat to the financial system.
                    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.
