Pumped up bitcoin “market cap” doesn't mean much if you compare it to the prophecy of the crypto enthusiasts (blockchain ubiquitous for payment => nope, blockchain used for distributed computation => nope, blockchain used to replace lots of legacy tech => nope, blockchain used to guarantee integrity of real world stuff => nope).

So the only thing that actually works is the Ponzi thing, which, thanks to Tether is still running well.
