Early crypto evangelist and arguably one of the most influential figures in the space, Jed McCaleb, says we\u2019re still not in a bear market despite continued price decline and investor fatigue. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the man who has had a hand in everything from the notorious Mt. Gox<\/span><\/a> cryptocurrency exchange, to Ripple<\/span><\/a> and Stellar<\/span><\/a>, says that the crypto market is just \u201ccalming down,\u201d and is \u201cstill way way up\u201d since its inception.<\/span><\/p>\n

McCaleb: Not a Crypto Bear Market, Price Doesn\u2019t Matter To Us<\/span><\/h2>\n

While speaking on a phone interview with Yahoo! Finance<\/span><\/a>, co-founder and chief technology officer of Stellar, Jed McCaleb, was questioned about his key takeaways from his near decade-long experience in the industry, if Bitcoin and blockchain will ever be adopted by financial institutions, and about the ongoing cryptocurrency bear market.<\/span><\/p>\n

McCaleb seemingly laughed off the mere thought of cryptocurrencies being in a bear market, saying it was \u201cfunny when people say crypto is down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my view, it\u2019s still way way up. It\u2019s down from the peak, but on the whole, it\u2019s way way up. We don\u2019t focus on the price that much, it doesn\u2019t matter to us too much,\u201d McCaleb added.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He does suggest that higher prices does bring more interest to the space, which provides companies behind projects with the cash flow for continued development. The current bear market has affected many businesses, who have been forced to lay off staff members<\/span><\/a>, close down operations<\/span><\/a> at key locations, or sell off assets<\/span><\/a> to fund ongoing development and staffing needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

McCaleb: Million Dollar Crypto Projects With No Technical Merit Are a \u201cBig Shame\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Stellar co-founder also provides a counterargument to the idea that more cash flow is a good thing for the space.
