I’ve been around finance for over four decades and everything in the markets trade on a mixture of fundamentals and sentiment. At any given time, I’ve never seen a field that’s so much wrapped up in sentiment and not so much about fundamentals... It’s a field that built up around noncompliance, and I’m proud of what we’ve done. I think there’s still work to be done, particularly saying about these 10 or 15,000 alternative coins that they’re and the intermediaries themselves.
