Everything is a lottery ticket these days -- especially cryptos.
From my minuscule research on cryptos, to me, it looks like Hoskinson's Cardano has all the right elements going for it. When they add smart contract functionality it should be taking a lot of Ethereum's thunder. Eventually we'll see which ones survive. They are all like Beanie Babies or different types of tulips now. ...... they all have value ..... till they don't.
