ETH price is back to where it was 12 weeks ago. BTC is backwards 24 weeks! Anthony Sassano joined me recently on a live stream while we chatted about the recent price action, and people’s reaction to it.

Generally everyone is confused as to the direction of the market, and this has caused a lot of the unhealthy speculation and crypto-tourists to leave.

There’s a sense of relief coming from those who established their crypto-settlements in the 2018-19 bear market; the 2020-21 bull market has been absolutely crazy. Lots of new players, tons of news, and so many new projects to keep up with! Some of the OGs are wishing for a return to quieter times 😅, where people put their heads down and focus on building.

Funnily enough, when these builders build… they ultimately create the reasons as to why crypto-tourists and speculators always come back to crypto; there are too many things to be excited about.
