I think this recent spike is simply another bull trap and will go down again maybe a bit further before a long term bull run begins, the next bull run will certainly be epic that is for sure. Recently Kevin O Leary announced the first SEC approved real estate backed Token and this is the first of is kind that uses smart contracts and may actually be able to compete with traditional stocks. And U.S congress recently released a 2018 report where for the first time ever they dedicated a whole section to the discussion of cryptocurrencies. Big things happening for cryptocurrency and blockchain tech as a whole!
