The era of low interest rates and cheap money is over. As a result, the crypto bubble collapsed. For it to inflate again, there would have to be cheap money, but there won't be any for the forseeable future, because central banks keep raising intetest rates to fight inflation.
they're already slowing down the hikes as inflation continues to fall. it's just a matter of when the pivot and stimulus will happen to jumpstart the economy again. maybe late next year. maybe 2024. it's a vicious cycle

It's gonna come roaring back though...just wait.

In Dec of 2019 it was like $4K. By April of 2021 it was $50K. In a better fiscal environment Bitcoin will be fine. A sucker is born every day.

Every paycheck I but $10 of it and have been doing so for a few years not. Don't plan to stop nor do I plan a commitment more than that.

He also explained why it doesn't scale from a utility standpoint amongst criminals and child pno, and so I wouldn't say it was a major point of his, nor fear mongering.

And he explained that his main beef revolved around the negative externalities as the crypto bubble has grown larger without any accompanying utility, and so stating he just has an axe to grind is an oversimplification.
the scaling part is being worked on constantly. it's unlikely bitcoin itself will ever get faster. That's gonna either come from some layer on top or some sidechain. I hear lightning network is growing this year. It may end up being that. It may be something else.

People like him don't see any utility. Others do see utility from it or else it wouldn't continue growing larger crash after crash.

There will not be another stimulus on the scale of the Covid stimulus. Doing so would spark hyperinflation.

The first sentence is kinda true, but it's over? This sounds like how cats said there will never be another bull run after 2017. crypto era was "over" in 2018-19 :dead:

you would think by now nikkas understand it's a cycle. when all the "crypto is dead" "bitcoin is dead" "it's all a ponzi" articles start running in heavy rotation, it's usually a sign we're close to the bottom

Where is the next pool of large scale crypto buyers going to come from? Most retail investors who had extra stimulus money to spare got burned. Institutions are backing away en masse after the FTX collapse. And those who have never invested are more skeptical than ever.

you know there were past bull runs and bear markets in crypto before Covid right? you don't need stimulus on that scale. markets are just waiting on the Fed to announce the pivot and it's back to business.

this shyt is like a broken record - "reatil investors will never come back" retail investors got burned after Mt Gox, more came back. burned after bitconnect and all the bullshyt ICOs in 2017, more came back. FTX isn't bitcoin. bitcoin still works. the fat crook will go to prison and the market will move on. regulations will eventually come in and wash out the bullshyt and help rebuild trust. people will be back and the market will keep growing. you underestimate people's desire to make money and the overall growth of the market from people using bitcoin & crypto

a lot of institutions are waiting on sidelines for the regulations to come in before they enter so they don't get burned like retail.
