I remember in the BTC run up to $1200 in November of 2013. $200 seemed ridiculous, then $300 seemed ridiculous, then it was at $600...

BTC is at $1235 right now, and it doesn't seem totally insane that people are buying hashes with such large amounts of currency. And you can actually do something with ETH.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to crypto if interest rates actually return to something resembling sanity. I'm slowly coming to recognize how much stupid market exuberance comes from the fact that simply lending money no longer earns you any capital.

There sure is a lot of $ than can be plowed into these hashes.
