Great discussion. I loved the last question – asking technical people pros/cons of protocols they’re not involved with
I love the grounded reality of this channel, its normal to see so many investors panic amid a worsening bearish market but it is also important to note that the market situation is nothing new in the crypto world. Several factors are driving negative sentiment in the stock and crypto markets right now including inflation, a shaky stock market, rising interest rates, and recession fears. As a result, bitcoin has dropped significantly from its all-time high, breaking below several key technical levels. As a crypto investor, the current situation might seem bleak. However, there are several tried and tested expert-suggested investment strategies that can help you accumulate the current crypto storm, in few weeks of implementing trading with accurate signals directly from Bonhomme Russo, I have been able to accumulate over 11 btc despite the current state of the market..

Thank you for this amazing conversation. Wish we had more of these instead of the usual personal attacks on Twitter between anons that don’t understand what they’re talking about.
