The toxic Crypto Industry: I am right, you are wrong!

The crypto-industry is a toxic industry. Similar to politics, people are polarizing by trying to convince everybody else that their point of view is the right one. Especially in a bull market this attitude is not helpful and confuses all those that are joining this industry. Robert Koenig’s recommendation: build your own opinion and try not to listen to people that polarize.
