As a market, the total value of crypto is not in their dollar value, but in the number of users.
Afterall the dollar goes up and down, as the cartel try & manipulate it's value.
pump and dumps do the same thing.
But when the user number rates are compared, and the daily user numbers on whatever blockchain, they are increasing, and at a steady growth rate. When looking at the number of gamers on EOS or TRON or bloggers on Steem, or investors in BTC or ETH projects, the worldwide knowledge & acceptance of cryptos has grown.
The more users that are aware of and using crypto is the true 'value' of the market.
And this is what scares the banking cartel, since they cannot control the growth, and we, the people are less dependent on them.
