Yep...you said it. Our best hope is really good news (like today at the G20 summit) and a good run and a massive influx of retail money. Or it is going to be rense and repeat. And of course more fiat gateways for certain alt coins would be good. It would unhitch BTC from alts in the west (the top 10 are pretty much unhitched in the east (ASIA) to an extent from the top 10 alt coins)
well im hanging on to my bc for dear life manipulation or not futures all that stuff and the fact there can only ever be 21 mil of em a quarter of wich are permenantly lost so recon its a good bet in long term and if all goes to shit there might be enough value in them to buy a pizza.
