    Cryptocurrency is not similar to fiat in that the supply of bitcoin, for example, is decreasing so therefore demand doesn't necessarily have to increase for an increase in value to occur. It's worth whatever someone will pay for it. You can buy bitcoin with ethereum or any number of other crypto not just fiat. Not all crypto decreases in supply either.
    There is also factors in other crypto different to bitcoin. Ethereum, for example, can include smart contracts that give it enormous flexibility in its useability.
    All crypto uses blockchain technology,as I understand it, which is the essential beauty of the crypto concept. Blockchain technology is reputed to be unhackable and it's proven to be true so far.
    The future includes blockchain in my view but being an amateur old fossil I DO NOT claim expertise in this field but it is certainly very interesting AND it is withstanding the test of time.
