I have been thinking about this a bit on and off and this really seems to be some sort of truth in the crypto world

When the bears rule then the bulls are no where to be seen.

I have come to the conclusion the bulls are coding.

As many of you know I live in the heart of the Crypto Valley and I really have to say that there is a frantic pace here of new projects and innovation going on. I attend and organise regular meetups and am part of several groups. Being here on the ground adds a perspective that is hard to find when just reading online.

I did some digging and this is actually called the Gartner Hype Cycle

And as you can see we are down in that trough of Disillusionment. That is a fact. But if we are at the bottom I could not tell you. I have the impression that we are really getting close if we are not going slightly upwards again. (but that is just an impression)

So for all of us that are spending time reading up on Blockchain and crypto and that are investing for the future and the future of your family here is something that a wise investor said.
We all know he is not the biggest crypto fan but no one can deny that he isn't a wise investor (and he has a lot of cool quotes)
