Some Things to Be Thankful For, Even Though Everything in Crypto Is On Fire

Why you should be thankful: The ability to hold your own coins is part of the value proposition of most cryptocurrencies. From the perspective of the Bitcoin ( $0.00 ) system, one of the value propositions is that there is a finite, provably scarce number of bitcoin. If exchanges were found to be circulating an amount in excess of the number of Bitcoin ( $0.00 ) issued (i.e., they are selling paper, fake bitcoins rather than real bitcoins) we could: a) out some bad-faith actors in the space and b) see some crazy price movement as the demand for “real, actual” Bitcoin ( $0.00 ) spikes dramatically.
