The Asymmetry Of Bubbles: The Status Quo And Bitcoin
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-30/asymmetry-bubbles-status-quo-and-bitcoinDo the bubbles in bonds, stocks and real estate get the same scrutiny as the bubble in cryptos? Do any of the conventional critics deriding the bubble in bitcoin bother comparing the scale of all these bubbles? So bitcoin is in a bubble at a market cap of $170 billion, but the unprecedented $500 trillion bubble in stocks, bonds, debt instruments and real estate is perfectly fine and no risk at all? (Approximately $300 trillion in global financial assets and $200 trillion in real estate.)
Me thinks that the money from those bubbles will flow into Crypto!
You hinted on half of the issue with the media, they report what the successful guys of wall street say and of course many of them say bitcoin is a bubble because they're already sitting pretty and bitcoin is a competitor. It's easy for them to take attention away from their own bubbles and divert it towards bitcoin.
