Given the current trend in the American Monarchy expect LOTS more crypto.

I believe it changes with every new coin announcement.

Meanwhile, Coinbase announced* it was hacked and data on 70K of its
users was stolen. So now criminals know the name and addresses (and
account balances) of tens of thousands of crypto-coin users... and
these same criminals have recently shown they've NO reluctance to come
a'visiting to the victim's house to demand --through the clever
application of broken bones-- passwords so they can drain the wallets.
 It's almost as if keeping your money in a properly secured and insured
bank is a better idea than crypto. Who knew?
 

"Proper" crooks with the insider connections don't need to break in to your house.  They get pre-release access to the new coins, wait until all the victims have bought it on release, then sell off, crashing the value for everyone else.
