So nowadays its like, slap on a suit, pay an agency to write a great, professional whitepaper, bribe some famous people so they work as your advisor, visit crypto conferences wearing your nice suit, come up with an idea that sounds great, and *BANG*, you are worth $2bn?

When did wallstreet take over crypto? In this sense i hope Verge will keep being a success even if I sold mine for Colx and Zoin.


Sounds about right, does it not? We all feel that there is more and more a corporate feel about crypto these days, but I wonder if this was always the case anyway? I know people have some idea about who Satoshi Nakamoto are, but if you look at the whitepaper, you look at the early writings and discussions here, and anyway most of them felt very corporate, surely from business backgrounds rather than people in tee shirts and jeans. OK we have Vitalik Buterin who is a little different, but he is surrounded by corporates. I know I am tired of it, but I do not think we will see the end of it.

When you look at the rise of ripple you will see that suits are taking over crypto. Ripple is a bankers coin, and verge was pumped because mcafee mentioned it in a tweet. We need to be more wary of these suits, but people always follow the money - even if it's supported by suits

I love the photo of when OMG and vitalik met with the reserve bank and they wore jeans and shorts with all the suits. Classic photo.

But I agree that crypto and banks should be separate and that crypto should rise when countries and banks fud about it. The entire reason for bitcoin was to get away from banks and countries controlling the money supply. Be your own bank

Wallsteet will never take over the crypto because wallstreet is not everything. there are so many bankers in wallstreet and you must understand the point about that's why7 CME try to offer futures trade. But so many projects without nothing to show worth a lot of marketcap right now.
