[Energy and Capital logo]  Why the Crypto Correction Is Actually a Sign of Growth By Alex Koyfman Written Jan. 21, 2018 OK, admit it: If you were not among the few who have made millions off the last 12 months of manic crypto speculation, this past week has given you a nice, warm, decadent bath of schadenfreude. Total market capitalization for the digital currency sector has fallen nearly 50%, crashing from a January 7th high of $830 billion to $428 billion just 10 days later. Just looking at it can induce vertigo. [cryptomarketcap] And going through my Twitter feed, I can see a gushing torrent of “I told you so’s” aimed at the crypto bulls who had their eyes set on six-figure milestones. Cutting through all the background noise, however, there remains one big question: Is this the ultimate implosion that everyone feared/predicted/eagerly awaited? I certainly hope it is. Here's why... There is no doubt that digital currencies will change the world. This technology has the potential to alter society at its base level — much like the internet did with the free transfer of data — by changing the nature of the way we transfer value. The problem is, with anything this earth shattering, you're going to get a lot of growing pains. One of those growing pains has been common to a number of other revolutionary technological innovations of the past: too many entrants into the field.  Claim Your FREE Bitcoin Starter Pack! Over the last couple of months, our researchers have been scouring the internet with one goal in mind: to produce a landmark digital currency education service. Now, that digital currency education service is complete, offering investors who missed out on Bitcoin a second chance at incredible profits. Through this education tool, investors can make gains like: - Ripple — up 4,400% - Litecoin — up 1,077% - NEO — up 9,000% For a limited time, investors who act now can claim Bitcoin with their guide.

Since then, the phenomenon has repeated itself multiple times. It happened with television in the 1950s, with early personal computers in the 1980s, with video game consoles later in that decade, and, more recently, with online businesses in the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. Each time the progression was similar. The demand for a solution to a certain problem is identified. Everyone technically capable throws their hat in the ring with a product that somehow solves the problem. The market explodes, and there is demand for all the available solutions, even the ridiculous ones. [stutz] [weirdtv] [calico] The mania calms, and as buyers replace sellers and the near-vertical price chart starts to go sideways, panic sets in. There is a crash. Total destruction. Investors are leaping from windows (or at least throwing their laptops through them). It all seems over, but then a funny thing happens.  [$50 Into $1,200,000]( If you had put $50 into Pfizer stock at its IPO, you’d be a millionaire. You’re about to discover the “Next Pfizer”, which recently IPO’d. I’ve visited restricted areas of this company and grilled the CEO personally. This company is disrupting a $635 billion industry. And it trades for a couple bucks... Here’s your shot to 10X your money. [Click here to see the company.]( Technological Darwinism? Slowly but surely, the market returns. There is no mania this time. No proclamations that this is the next biggest thing ever. Only a few entrants now remain, but those who do, against the predictions of all their many and extremely vocal detractors, achieve the initial prophecy: they change the world. It does end up being the next biggest thing ever. The hundreds of carmakers from the early 1900s... most of them died or were absorbed. A few survived. Those that did, you still know today: Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Chrysler. Same goes for Google, Facebook, and YouTube, and electronics companies like Sony and Nintendo, and computer companies like IBM and Apple. And it will hold true for the cryptocurrencies that remain on the exchanges after the crash separates the weak from the strong. As of today, there are 1,442 cryptocurrencies available for purchase across the world's many electronic exchanges. Of those 1,442, the general public has heard of half a dozen. Add to that the fact that the specter of regulations is finally starting to creep into the picture, and the culling — if it's truly here — could be a pretty major one. A Cryptocurrency for the Era After Bitcoin Make no mistake, however; once it's all over, the ones that remain standing will own the market and will proceed to grow with the market as it expands into a mature, sustainably evolving social phenomenon with billions of practical users. For the last several weeks, I've been talking about a cryptocurrency that I think is going to emerge as a leader in this field. It's not well known today, but in terms of a technical foundation, it's even more valid than Bitcoin or any of the other major names you might have heard thrown around lately. A crash in the crypto market is exactly what I've been waiting for — that critical moment when the losing players are swept from the field, allowing for the strongest to take what's rightfully theirs. The cryptocurrency I've been researching is on the verge of just such a moment in its own evolution. Today, as the market free-falls and many existing investors panic, I'm eyeing one of the best buy-in points in months. If you want to be among the first to get in while this rare window of opportunity is open, [click here for the full story.]( Fortune favors the bold, [alex koyfman Signature] Alex Koyfman [[follow basic]@AlexKoyfman on Twitter]( Coming to us from an already impressive career as an independent trader and private investor, Alex's specialty is in the often misunderstood but highly profitable development-stage microcap sector.
