Crypto's Volatility Won’t Dampen Long‑term Bullish Outlook
It’s been a volatile few days in the crypto markets. This is nothing new. Crypto has gone through many market cycles at this point. Personally, this doesn’t change my outlook - I don’t see how you can be anything but long-term bullish on crypto. It’s eating financial services at an incredible rate. Coinbase is going to keep shipping through any market conditions, as we've always done. We’ve got a financial system to update.
