Behold...my new crypto bear market AppleWatch face! When I saw this image of grandpa Simpson cursing Bitcoin I realized it would be the perfect reminder of the absurdity of the FUD-slingers in the mainstream media. Whenever I read a crypto-related article that shakes my confidence I just raise my wrist and look at grandpa Simpson, take a deep breath and say -- in the immortal words of Bob Marley, " everything little thing's gonna be alright."
It's so interesting to watch once you're aware of how those in power use the media to manipulate the financial markets and sway public opinion. Once you're awake and wise to it you feel like an outsider watching a non-stop theater production take place on the world stage during every 24hr news cycle. The only problem is this "theater production" has real-life consequences that impact us all.
After being in this space for a few years now and developing a knowledge of the technology it's clear that cryptocurrency and blockchain will be around for a long time to come. To make a prediction would be foolish, but it feels like this could be the bottom and I'm getting a real sense that the crypto-winter will soon end. Until the bulls run again Gramps will be occupying a spot on my wrist to remind me that most of the negative articles about crypto in the MSM are falsehoods designed to shake investor confidence and to HODL as though my life depended on it.
