All these credentialed folks love to bag in crypto, it's just too easy to do. Most people I know are more measured in admitting there will be some value but they don't know what that value should be. Well. Join the club. Or wait for it to stabilize in a few years and then use it. I'm not sure that the major pumps are done also.

One thing he (or someone else) mentions is wash trading to move the price. I wonder how much that happens, and if it can be detected or not. And also it's not certain it would work if there are enough other players in the market.
