Events of 2022 brought a “crypto winter,” with average prices of cryptocurrencies falling about 70% from their 2021 highs, the bankruptcy of several crypto companies, the complete collapse of a popular so-called “stable” coin, unexpected suspensions of withdrawals by some crypto issuers, large losses by individual investors, and heightened efforts toward expanded regulation and legislation. What does this all mean going forward? Was this simply the end of another bubble and popular delusion which will now wither? Or was it the winnowing out of a typical innovative overexpansion, with a more mature ongoing cryptocurrency industry continuing, perhaps one with significant regulation? This webinar will examine where crypto will go from here.

    1. If< you have been closely watching the crypto or even invested in it, chances are that you are wondering how to to deal with the recent bear cycle. The truth is that the market remains unpredictable especially in the long-term. Despite the heavy outflows, Bitcoin is still trying to recover from its all time low ($17k) this year. This recovery is demonstrating Bitcoin’s strength despite being stress tested against highly volatile and unfavorable market conditions. it is very important to stay ahead of the market by trading with the right strategy. I have been trading with Erik Ming strategy for close to a year and I have stacked up 5 btc with his signals

    2. As far as unsophisticated investors: did those investors lose principle or just their profits? Early investors lost lots of profits. Later investors-not so much. Stats would be interesting, because government "interest" is a double edged sword.

    3. One of the reasons I’ve lost interest in Crypto is freedom. With the constant threat of the idiot Government vampires and their political machinations, I’ve shelved the idea for now. ESG? Please, that is such political crap and a naked power play. F the Government
