That said, I am really happy that so many of you guys, the bitcoin hodlers made bank.

I don't know if it was you, but I remember a guy posting about mining bitcoin years ago when bitcoin made it's first run to 20K. I wondered what he did when it went back down to 4K. Did he keep mining or did he fold up. I can only imagine what it's like now if he kept mining.
I was that miner. At least one of them that was on here talking about the benefits of mining and crypto. I held, kept mining, when BTC dipped in to the 3000's and 4000's I bought more. I still mine. My two mining rigs bring in roughly 1.4 ETH a month.

Here's my theory. We'll see more consolidations over the next 5-7 years. But the trend line will continue up. As more financial institutions buy in to crypto for portfolio diversification it's only going to go higher. In 6-10 years I can see BTC well in to 6 figures, and ETH well in to 5 figures. LTC, or some other form of in-house coin, will be used for a transaction network due to the lower costs.

Of course, that's my theory. But, it has merit.
