When I was a child my parents used to talk about “growing pains” in relation to real or imagined difficulties experienced by myself or my siblings.

I never found out if there was such a thing as a growing pain but I feel that the idea suits crypto currencies very well.

Crypto is no longer new but it has not yet matured at all. It is leaving infancy and is unlikely to die, especially given that its market cap (total value) exceeds 2 trillion and it keeps finding new use cases (areas where it adds value to the current way of doing things).

I see crypto as a teenager, suffering from growing pains as it starts to mature, still unsure of what the future hodls and full of excitement about its place in the world.

Once crypto grows up there will probably be less uncertainty but also less excitement linked to its current unpredictability.

Therefore now is a good time to learn and get involved, even making money in the process.
