Why was Sunday December 15th so special?

Crypto will never be the same. Good.

Dear Crypto Friends, On Saturday December 15th, 2018, the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies bottomed at around $101 billion. Excluding Bitcoin, alts made up $45 billion. Since then, the total cap has risen  by 33% to $134bn, and the alts are up 45% to $65bn. Did we bottom-out? Who knows. Volatility isn't going away anytime soon, and even though institutional investors are now getting heavily-involved in the crypto space, we should remember that volatility is actually what makes money in any asset market - the difference between buying low and selling high is what makes Wall Street traders rich! So could it plunge again? Absolutely. But the gradual, steady rise in value of the crypto market should give us cause for cautious optimism. The longer we go without hearing the B word (the one that ends in -ubble), the more strongly we can believe in this slow recovery. Fingers crossed.   Twitter Me This   This will come as a shock to people who know me: but occasionally I like to rant a little. I'll rant about banks, about decentralization, about crypto maximalism, about XRP, about the dearth of women or other underrepresented groups in crypto, about anything that ends in '-ism' and then I'll start again on the banks. All of which means I should probably start ranting on my own time :) So if you want some colorful commentary on crypto, "adult-style" with no holds barred, please follow my new Twitter account -  and hey, you can meet my Highland bull, Moose, while you're there!
