All that matters is that it fills a need and keep growing. I am thinking of getting back in crypto, because I see a very bright future for DOGE as a 3rd coin: BTC for store of value, ETH for ??something?? (smart contracts), and a 3rd one as an medium of exchange not tethered to fiat.
I do not buy the argument of USDT or something stuck to fiat as a modern MOE. XRP had a half believable story (if used for international remittance).
Now LTC/BCH/DOGE are fighting for the same spot.

Even if I'm pro crypto, /r/Buttcoin is my favorite place online . I never start a day without reading buttcoin, for the quality of the various analysis, as opposed to the "it's just tulips and beanie babies" I get from HN
