Dow drops 800 pts, markets around the world crashed.
holla at @bchainbastards for nice write up: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@bchainbastards/red-october-4-reasons-the-world-will-never-be-the-same

Big crash in all markets.
A market crash will crypto crash with it?
At this low market cap, yes, in the future I believe no.
Emerging markets are like altcoins.

change laws on cap gain tax for cryptos.

People gloss over EOS, Bitshares, and Steemit. Sign of the mighty.

Why speak up?
If not only people be heard are people like Nouriel Roubini will replace your voice.

  • how can one hate something no one completely understands?
  • mother of all bubbles at like .01% of GDP - Nouriel

Merchant adoption of steem; Steem on bitpay.
If you're on youtube why would anyone switch? Confidence will bring them.

Good to see you still doing your videos. The new intro is classy, rather sharp change from the rap!
I'm gonna kill it here, peace.

Richie, my man! Glad to see you on Steem. Ya I usually put out a vid a week to keep the journey documented.

I feel like we need a dedicated site for steemdapps radar.

Thanks for another great video!

There is this...

https://steemprojects.com/

did you mean something different?

Yeah something that shows it stats like the other dappradar sites, like transactions sent, value of transactions and make it clear that there are no fees. ;)

People saying STEEMIT is a scam makes me wanna punch them in the face...

Thanks for the mention Dan, really appreciate the shout out and the kind words.

Thanks for the S/O Dan! Much appreciated!

Will The Looming Worldwide Financial Crisis Take Crypto Down With It?
Nope.
It's possible that Crypto will replace fiat.

I think this crisis might start crypto market growth.

A meltdown of the US stock market will have a ripple effect that will cause economic distress world wide. It could very well push already distressed economies beyond the breaking point. Remember Venezuela? The Venezuelans have gone to great lengths to adopt cryptocurrency to replace their own failed currency. I'm not talking about the petro coin, but other cryptos that Venezuelans are using despite their government's attempts to prevent alternate currencies to flourish.

A crypto boom in the face of stock market crash really depends on how bad it gets for some countries. I would hate to see such economic disaster. If that does come, I would expect that mass adoption could take place when a fiat currency fails and there are little other options.

Always bringing that real talk! 💪🏼🙌🏼😀

Nice video man. I would have to disagree slightly, though. After the Greek financial crisis, Bitcoin had a bull run because more people saw the need for a safe place to store their wealth outside of banks. I think the same thing will happen following the next financial crisis.

I think the general consensus is if it is just a usual recession it will hurt crypto since people will need to sell assets to pay debts but if it is a financial catastrophic ( like GFC) people will be broke beyond repair and may look for same havens for salvation.

When I say general consensus , I mean something I just made up after reading your post.

Emerging markets have a lot of money on the sidelines, we're talking billions of people. I really don't care is the USA finds safety in crypto, they can buy gold/silver. I really think we are going to see everyone from central/south america to africa and many other underbanked countries. Time will tell though.

Any one financial downturn if /when it happens will likely not be localized to USA..

What a blast of content these last days. I start getting sucked into the platform. Damn it..

Great bro, i think your journey with cryptocurrency is always glad and happy,carry on by help with steemian..

I've always thought if the markets go down, crypto would 'float' and go drastically up as people hedge their money. Who knows for sure though.

I think right now I'm uncertain if the looming Worldwide Financial Crisis Take Crypto Down With It, but I definitely don't think it should. Your section with @meno was outstanding, and the one with @timcliff was eye opening

I don't know @theycallmedan. Some people think that this looming world financial crisis will improve the cryptography price, because people will want to put their fiat into cryptos for safety.

Great dtube thanks for sharing the details

So true.

It is not cryptos turn yet. Gold first. Then cryptos.

In places like the USA sure, what about the underbanked countries that have no access to gold? Even if they did their governments would confiscate it.

Gold confiscation has happened in the USA as well.

The United States Gold Reserve Act of January 30, 1934 required that all gold and gold certificates held by the Federal Reserve be surrendered and vested in the sole title of the United States Department of the Treasury.[1][2]

The Gold Reserve Act outlawed most private possession of gold, forcing individuals to sell it to the Treasury, after which it was stored in United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox and other locations

I would have thought crypto would go up when other things went down, until today...

Money has to go somewhere.
Paper gold and silver makes it a scramble for the real thing.(rising prices).

Crypto is a place to put your money when everything else is losing value..

A collapse in markets will see run to crypto, in my opinion.
