i've been in bitcoin since 2011 not that time "in the space" matters take the amount of fake crypto experts on steem here since 2016 and still not a clue and from the inaccuracy of the information your spewing i wouldn't put much value on the quality of education wherever you paid for that degree.
on this your "an experienced trader" and bitcoin didn't do as well as in 2013 when nearly 100% of market price was faked by Mt Gox bots wash trading when in reality bitcoin is developing as it should with volatility decreasing year after year
I didn't say Bitcoin didn't do as well price wise as in 2013. I was saying it wasn't working as well as it did in 2013 because of the blocks being filled up and the transaction fees being insane.
Personally I feel more comfortable with Litecoin and Monero in comparison to Bitcoin but I still hold some for the outside chance that an ETF gets approved. Another thing people have been holding their breath on since 2014.
