great comment, thanks @maestrobarn, I'll check out those Medium posts!

regarding Bitconnect and Coincheck, yes I agree these are the two big 'FUD' (with good reason may I add) events that surely is responsible for a lot of 'buyers remorse' that we see new buyers selling early.

Dwarfing both of these, the Elephant in every crypto-traders front room is the conclusion-less story of Tether which is still trading massive volumes despite apparently legitimate long-term liquidity concerns. Am I reading the situation correctly in that thats what you are somewhat saying?

If it is, I agree.. and I don't think we've seen the end of the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency story
