One of the benefits of being a trader and not a holder is I usually stay liquid in cash :)

Yea you're definitely right about that. Yea my perceptions from back then impacted me getting in on the end of the fall/winter bull run.

I think a lot of places are currently talking about it because it's all over the news and it's the hype. I think once it dies down not as many people will care about mentioning it for the publicity. Unless they are creating their own blockchain and currency, I don't see any integrations with other stuff.....no benefits currently.
