keep in mind the biggest prostitutes are politicians, especially US ones where political prostitution is an institution by means of lobbying...keep in mind that the crypto market is not regulated and if they want to create chaos with volatility there is absolutely nothing standing in their way...

whether crypto/blockchain will win in the end I do not know nor is this the point...the point is big business is not going to remain passive about this much longer...there is going to be tons of collateral damage regardless of who wins in the end
agreed, and much like tubes, you cannot just roll it all back. Some will join and adapt and utilise to make more money, and as that side grows, so do the disrupters. One won't fully replace the other, as they have different uses, but people writing off crypto as a ponzi, or tulipmania are wildly missing the bigger picture. This is so early days.
