RE: STEEM POLITICS - WHALE WEALTH IS LIKE BITCOIN - Making the whole Ecosystem Stronger
Thanks for posting the video, really interesting to hear his take on the future of this market . One point that he mentions which has been foremost is my mind is this is a "true" global market. It's not the Nikkei, Dow, S&P or Nasdaq, this is a market that encompasses the world. When equities, commodities and bond money start flowing into this sector looking for gains or a safe haven, we could see the market capitalization of a lot of these currencies go parabolic.
I absolutely agree that not all whales are savvy investors, even a blind squirrel will find a nut every now and then, but I feel the vast majority are. It's one thing to have money, another thing to keep the money, and quite another thing to grow that money. A close friend who's a broker told me years ago, that his largest, most successful clients were extremely patient and very, very decisive when they make a move. A phrase I heard at a seminar several years ago sums it up, "Big money doesn't chase the market, it makes the market, and eventually due to greed, breaks the market."
You may want to check out my post "EOS Highlights and Favorites from Ethereal and Consensus 2017". It also has links to free online versions of the books he referenced, both great books that I myself have read numerous times in the past.
Also, you may find this post by Martin Armstrong insightful as well: Personal Questions and "The Club".
And yes, I've seen that too... I even knew a few "billionaires" back in the dot.com bubbles days who were literally wiped out and forced into bankruptcy after the bubble burst...

I'll definitely check out your post. Thanks for the link!
