The current cryptocurrency investments ecosystem is one of the purest forms of a free market in economic history(No strict regulation, atleast for now). It has given rise to an incredible growth which has made some people a lot of fortunes overnight(cryptotraders/investors majorly) and allowed startups to flourish like never before. Unfortunately, it also puts the burden on investors to vet the teams, ideas, and capabilities before getting involved with any ICO.

This past few weeks have been pretty rough in the cryptoworld as a result of the Christmas festivity, government trying to clamp down on crypto by imposing regulations thereby signaling a bearish run or bloodbath as people call it. However, It should be better in the coming weeks. All that has been happening is quite normal if this graph below 📈 from the past few years is anything to go by.
