It's freaking crazy. Dash is going bonkers, so is monero, eth, ltc, zcash, and on and on... It seems like we're hitting some kinda tipping point, but the truth is that almost everyone I talk to hasn't even heard of any of this, beyond maybe having heard the term Bitcoin.
Crazy times. I'm loading up on moderate/small amounts of all the altcoins that seem good. It's going to be a really fascinating year in 2018...
You are spot on. Keep on educating the people!
