Absolutely outstanding article.  Follow and upvoted.  Really quick, what's your pen name on seekingalpha? (I got the impression you're writing over there as well.)  I'd like to add you.

In the meantime, check out my piece on this theme [here](https://steemit.com/investing/@minderbinder/the-potential-future-of-crypto-prices-and-the-effects-of-the-hunt-for-yield) if you're interested.  I'd love to hear your feedback.

Outside of that, I think, in the current environment, we're facing a point with Bitcoin where it's considered a risk-on asset but doesn't behave like one.  The demographics of the BTC and alts holders are very different from the traditional investors and as a result those "true believers" don't give a damn what Wall Street thinks.  If BTC holds value when we finally get volatility coming back to the market, the true believers would be vindicated.  If it doesn't then the naysayers win saying it was just a fad.  Ironically, all the planning and jawboning in the world will not protect BTC from what the overall economy will do to it, leaving its marks - warts and all.

In any event, again thanks for the article!  Take care!
