Threeo crypto issues today...

First is more evidence emerging showing crypto is anything but insulated from the same drivers that drive other markets. Early on... there was more distance between the markets... participants in one not participating in others. As the cryptos become more common... that changes... I see it as: the isolated pockets in the everything bubble... are merging.

I think the coming market crash... will crash crypto with it... and with farther to fall, the intrinsic and imposed tolerance of volatility... could prove additionally destructive.

Second, is more evidence emerging that the salient selling points of crypto... aren't panning out. Disintermediation is being replaced by a re-intermediation... that's less efficient than the old intermediaries.
Checks used to take 10 days to clear... which was a lie... they cleared in one day, and the banks kept your money for another 9 days because they could... so they did choose to own your float for that period. That's been reduced over time, not fast enough still... but, in crypto... how long before the transaction clears through those intermediaries that aren't supposed to exist

Third...

The pitch for Theta makes more sense than the rest I've seen... by focusing on obvious stuff others have been ignoring... that you can't ignore and succeed. The network matters. Relationships matter. Transactions require a currency wired to flow and grow. They tied Theta to Tfuel to link the functions rationally... while re-enabling a link to an interest like function... that makes more economic sense than others. News on it out today... was $0.40 a month ago... close to $4 today... corporate validation early might drive it... more as it crafts a protected environment for it to succeed and survive... be tested in application...
