Hey Steemians. You are welcome to the new week. And I do hope you had an unforgettable weekend holidays. It has become a tradition for me to always say some few words of prayers to Usher Monday visitors of this page into the new week. Today isn't going to be any different. Hence I put it to you that all your moves within the corridors of crypto market this week shall be divinely directed. Whales shall flock to each and everyone of your articles and will always leave them better than they meet them. Amin!🙏🙏
Today is Monday and there is a need for crypto enthusiasts to have optimistic views over the state of crypto market. Optimism enables us to develop faith that a particular outcome will be favorable. And since cryptocurrency market is somewhat like FOREX market where positive trading psychology is paramount to success, I have choosen to share some great news that will make our faiths in cryptoverse as strong as the rock of Gibraltar😂. Honestly, in Crypto business, reading and listening to positively impacting news is very critical for success. It makes one to remain firm and stubborn in one's belief in cryptos even when the market outlook isn't welcoming. This is how we have been able to survive the worst of times in cryptoverse.
With that said, below is some positive developments in the last few days around cryptocurrency market:

With Venezuela, Malta and Japan setting the pace, it is only a matter of time before countries that are unfriendly to cryptocurrency development would begin to reconsider their stands and make crypto friendly policies.
Adoption of cryptocurrencies is gaining traction everyday and the most interesting thing about it as of today, is the fact the not only private businesses are interested in the new form of currency but nation states like Venezuela, Japan, Malta, Polynesia, etc are showing profound interest. Indeed, in the next 5 years or so, the question of cryptocurrency adoption would no longer apply. Thanks for reading.
Yours truly,

Great news
Crypto has come to stay no doubt
exactly bro
First, I'd like to say a big AMEN to the prayers above. Felt you were referring to me. :)
You have indeed spoken well sir, Bitcoin's bullish trend from $650 in 2016 to over $15,000 in 2018 (just 2 years gap) is proportionate to its worldwide adoption.
Though currently experiencing some resistance around $9000+, I believe it's only a matter of time until it becomes all history.
I choose to remain positive sir. Thanks!
