I have to say that I haven't checked lately that much the price of cryptocurrencies as I was doing in the past, but for some good amount of time it seems that the crypto market doesn't want to do anything...major. It tried to go close to 190 billion, but no sir, it got rejected.

Now it's staying at the 170 billion level and Bitcoin seems to have found some sort of a pegged value of $5,300 for a while. Not bad when comparing to the $3000 level phase but not very good at all either. I am still on a loss with my whole portfolio and it would be the time for it to start doing something and I hope to see the recently begun uptrend continue.

Or, why not, get to the ground and prove it's the mother of bubbles. At least this long awaiting period ends. I am kind of tired with this market and in terms of trades it doesn't seem to have too many opportunities either. By the way, I have had IOTA for weeks and sold it about three days ago and now what do you see... 17% growth. I felt like biting the phone when I checked the prices. Yeah, Jaguar wants your shared data and partners with IOTA to reward people accepting to share anything. 

Privacy might be soon just a taboo and something that one would only get in the wild or who knows where...

I haven't quit talking about cryptos though, especially as referring to them as assets. I don't like them as a form of payment, I don't believe in their privacy as I've seen many reports about tracking lost or sold bitcoins and I also hope that if they are going to be the future money to not be stored on a microchip injected under our skin on our arms. I wouldn't accept that not even in a thousand years. 

People that I am talking to and explaining cryptos and Steem lately, like some old friends I've met on Easter day, ask me about gains and when I believe we will have new ATHs, the ones that I always point to when advocating ROI for such assets. That's when I go saying: well... you know, I don't know. I wish next month. I am recommending them as a good investment although I don't like the current phase we are currently in. I haven't sold anything for fiat though and simply quit this crypto thing... I still believe in profits.
