Hi, indeed your very first sentence, has been the tendency for some years now. Interesting news you bring from the American clime. Well I guess that's just the trend– digital currencies gaining grounds each passing day.
You said something I agree with – "..and the few dozens with strong community and utility cases will survive.". Infact that's why I keep telling people about a certain currency called PI, with it's various use cases should be more valuable than Bitcoin. It has now been adopted with over 60 million holders right now. I mentioned it in this tribe under the topic BEYOND BITCOIN,season 2. Please check out and see it's very innovative approach. A project worth joining in.
Cheers
