True 'next level' or knowledgeable crypto enthusiasts generally feel this way, they can see the way it's going that in less than ten years it will take the power of an entire country to mine a single bitcoin. The money is definitely in alt coins, and specifically in those with clear real world use, like steem of course-- man if they just had steem visa rather than having to transfer it to bitcoin first-- and what would really blow it out/send it to the moon is if they created a marketplace based on steemit, with all of us bringing all kinds of products and services from all over the globe...then again I wonder if it hasn't been intentionally designed to keep it smaller, at least to this point, in order to attract the best of the best in the beginning, the 'gatekeepers' who set up the self policing to keep any other censorship out. Early adopters here are generally intelligent people with a lot of foresight :)
EDIT: Most of what I know is from listening in on discussions between my husband and a few of his good friends. And tonight during one such discussion they were excited over two coins: Civic and Library(lbry), they are what my man calls 10X, or coins that will be worth at least ten times their current worth in a year. He is a tireless researcher, it's basically his full time job at this point. He hasn't been wrong yet.
