I'm seeing this "funny" trend..
1) Paypal starts accepting Bitcoin and it barely bumps the btc price.
2) Ripple Labs raises $28 MILLION and their share price only bumps up for about 22 hours.

4) Pumpndump rallies never seem to last more than 36 hours.
So, for global growth it all comes down to this:
A) Which companies have the most robust product line?
B) Which companies employ the most experienced, driven, and accountable staff?
C) Which companies have the best image?
D) Which companies generate profit and do not need VC control?
E) Which companies are
attracting mass media and Whales' attention?
