Is Zuckerberg a black swan?...Is the crypto slide a play, or reality?

MY POSITION.....

I am not overly concerned about the slide, to be honest. ( not too ecstatic, either)

I forget the name of the blue grass band, but the title of the album was ' I was born with nothing, and still have most of it'
(or something close to that).

That's me and crypto.
I haven't put a cent into it, so anything is profit.

I joined steemit to try and make some extra money, and stayed because I found a new outlet to tell my truths, insights and 'stuff' in general. And met some nice people along the way..

I enjoy dong it, for it's own sake, not for the money. (say's me - who invariably tracks the price once an hour if I'm on the computer).

Back to the crypto slide....(does anybody else find it strange that 'crypto' comes up as a misspell on the word correct, thingy?)

I see this long slide downwards of crypto markets as really having two possibilities.

Firstly, that it has been a financial operation run by the powers that be right from the beginning, to bring crypto into the consciousness of the cattle, to make it easier to introduce to everyone as a cashless system for the future.

If this is the case, the extraction of value from the crypto market, is merely the winding down of the markets, to be reinflated again using other crypto's - and a big transfer of wealth to the rich.

(I will leave the political, and ideological aspects aside)

OR.... all crypto's (well not all, but you know what I mean) are heading for much higher value. Much, much higher.

This decline in price merely being the big money squeezing out the small people through devaluing and selling off.
To maximize their own profits later - as the really big money then comes into the market.

As the bond and stock markets collapse (is facebook the black swan event...?), money will have to go somewhere - and cypto is the possibly the only place to go (as well as precious metals. Real metals, not paper owned ones)

I put nothing past the big money.
By that I mean the banks, and by extension their employees - the national governments.

I also hope (optimism based on diddly squat) that crypto is the break needed - of the stranglehold of the centralized banking system.
The banking system that has been to the detriment of the whole planet, that has given capitalism a bad name, and has allowed communism in through the back door - to insinuate itself into peoples psyche as a 'real' thing.
(communism is fundamentally nothing more than human, ego bor ne concept, of controlling others by force- very similar to the current system we have, actually. Like I say, back door communism).

Oops, I was trying to stay away from politics....

I hope crypto will be the future of a decentralized monetary system, and one that will bring in a new era of prosperity - one not seen before.... (pre industrial revolution cannot be included, as there was very little wealth for the general population).
