I like most of your articles, but I can't agree with you that bitcoin or crypto in general is a different market. The technology is different, but eventually it will behave like a "normal" market. It actually behaves the same way as other new technology markets.

Yes, it most certainly will, but not currently. How many markets can you name out there that are global in nature, are worth $200 billion plus, and for the most part the exchanges are completely unregulated?
If you look in the past I am sure you can find markets, maybe not as global but certainly unregulated. 200 billion is not large.
I agree with you that it is not large, but there are not many larger markets that are worth more than $200 billion that are completely unregulated. There are some, but not many.
The only thing that comes up to my mind are illegal drug markets. I went on a search and found this. Counter fitting 1 trillion, drug trafficing 500 billion.

Crypto would be third in the list. Quite amazing.
