The chart really helps put things in perspective. Crypto currencies are not yet heavily traded by the same people who trade commodities, precious metal or even fiat currency.

Once this asset class becomes the focus of the big institutional investors, you can bet they will aim their high tech weaponry at it the same way they handle other volatile assets. Using high frequency algorithmic trading and other robot magick. This will level out the winning cryptocurrencies until their trading range is as narrow as any of the major fiat currencies, as armies of bots scalp each other for a few pips up and down.

I think the winners in the short term will be Bitcoin and Ethereum. Perhaps if Facebook figured out a way to pay users to create and promote content like Steemit and/or YouTube starts paying users with a cryptocurrency, the big investors will flood right on in.
