With all of the chatter lately about government regulation and issuance of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), you may be concerned about the impact of such plans. I believe our concern is rooted in a sense of sentimentality over Crypto. Bitcoin is ours; it’s the people’s. Taxing Bitcoin, over regulating it, not holding it up as a medium of exchange, and not working with Bitcoin and the industry by creating their own CBDCs... it is as if greater powers are attempting to take something away from us. There is no need for a CBDC when there are so many grass roots alternative cryptocurrencies already developed. And maybe some regulation is necessary, but we are still in the nascent stages of Crypto, and too much overreach will stifle the fruits Crypto can offer.

Why off-board into fiat? In a market dowturn, when the total market capitalization (currently about 1.9 trillion) of cryptocurrency decreases, the majority of these assets are likely going back into fiat (unless someone is buying a whole lot of Teslas in Bitcoin). Even traders can hold their crypto in Tether (USDT) temporarily. The long term believers and HODLers of crypto know that at some point in the future, the total market cap of crypto will be much higher.
