It does seem as if things have quietened down a little.

But here is the interesting thing...... if the big boys are now openly getting involved in crypto you can bet they will start pumping it. And not for a quick profit and then flee - they can do that anonymously.

no, they will buy into the game low - not just coins, but the infrastructure around trading the coins - i.e. the people who made the real money during the gold rush years were those selling shovels.

Then they will start promoting alt coins and their value so more and more people start trading in them. They get to make money on the trades and on consulting fees.

That puts them in a no lose situation.

I've said it many times, but it is worth repeating, 2018 will be a big year for crypto.
