The markets down and everything feels stagnant. Its times like these where I lose optimism in long term investing and think about swing trading just to break up the pace. I am a true believer in Blockchain tech and the benefits of cryptocurrency in society and the it's integration is inevitable, but I miss the excitement of November/December 2017 where I couldn't get my Starbucks without hearing fifty people talking about Bitcoin. I'm ready for it to be mainstream again. I want the baby without the labor pains. I seriously think that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are what AOL, Yahoo, and Blackberry were in the early 2000's and we have yet to see the major players emerge. AOL, Yahoo, and Blackberry are still giants by many standards but in todays world, they're not Amazon, Google, or Apple. Remaining headstrong about where crypto is going is not the problem. The pace that it's taking is, and I think Ichiban Crypto is going back to the drawing board for an operations overhaul. Details will be revealed shortly. To sum it up, stay positive about that crypto life and mix it up every now and then to keep it exciting.
