Looks like the war for our minds and pocket books is upon us. If there is anything that I have learned from trading (crypto and stocks) is that if your not humble you will be humbled. Trading is a matter of managing two human emotions Fear and Greed.
To much fear then you won't take risk which cause you to miss out on potential gains (i.e FOMO - Fear of Missing Out). If you are to arrogant and think you know it all the markets will let you know real quick who is really in charge. Just as much as any market can go up it can go down. (FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)
With that being said I wanted to supplement this vlog with some articles that I came across that I think are pretty helpful to keep top of mind.
I don't see why you should need a money transmitter license when you are not transmitting money. The IRS clearly stated that cryptocurrencies are not a currency but are property.
With the advent of SMT on steemit the lines are going to get even more blurred. What separates a utility token from a speculative asset? Well looks like FINCen is just going to take a broad brush and paint all ICO's the same. The is really bad news for crypto
In plain speak the price of everything is about to go up. This goes outside of just steel and aluminum but other countries might start to increase their export taxes which will be passed on to consumers. When you have a county that is one of the biggest consumers on the planet you need imports. You can't make everything yourself and having that mentality in a global world will only cause the states to lose their power.
This might be the start of the transition from centralized to decentralized markets however just because something is decentralized doesn't mean it can't be manipulated. The influx of wall street money into crypto will cause everything to get more volatile. It might get worse before it gets better.
Not much more I can say about this guy as he is truly disconnected from reality.
