$23.7k by Dec 23rd? That's a pretty fast gain. At this point, I'm thinking that the bitcoin scaling issue is going to spread market cap into altcoins through 2018 until LN and Schnorr come online.
The proliferation of coins is reminiscent of the search engine wars of the 90's. I think bitcoin may be the Yahoo! of finance. Not sure if it will emerge to be the next Google of finance. Hodling all forks and several alts just in case.
