CryptoSlate, Maren Altman, That Martini Guy, and other top tech industry industry figures

The first live CryptonitesTV episode gathered a panel of industry professionals to discuss current conditions in the industry and offer predictions for the future of the criptocurrency market.

The panel was hosted by Cryptonites Alex Fazel on May 6th at the Coin Bureau conference in London and included Maren Altman, That Martini Guy, Nate Whitehill from CryptoSlate, Digital Asset News s Rob Wolff and Crypto Savings Expert Jordan.

The panelists all presented their own views as to what they expected from the market, but there was one point they all agreed on - that the market is looking at a short-term bearish trend.

Rob Wolff, the creator of Digital Asset News, believes that there was nothing that would push the market towards a bullish trend with the current supply chain crisis and imminent inflation. He sees the possibility of the war in Ukraine as a bearish indicator, with even rumors of escalation enough to push the market deep into the red.

Martini Guy, the YouTuber that agrees with this sentiment, said that we had another six months before more global certainty was established so that the foundation for a bullish trend could be laid down.

Maren Altman, a TikTok and YouTube personality who uses astrology to analyze the market for cryptocurrencies, sees the industry entering a short or medium-term bearish trend. She believes that the retail market is the biggest driver of bull trends and that the current geopolitical uncertainty has shifted priorities away from investing to more existential worries.

Zooming out paints a more bullish picture.

All panelists are incredibly bullish about the future despite the short-term pessimism they share.

Justin, a cryptanalyst, said that the more he zoomed out, the more bullish Bitcoin looked.

Nate Whitehill, CEO ofCryptoSlate, stands by his long-term view that cryptocurrencies will replace the TradFi system. He believes thatBitcoin is a bullish catalyzer for the future, as a result of the major banks offering their clients in the past year or so.

Wolff noted that we would see a full-blown bull market once more countries get involved with cryptocurrencies on a high stakes level. This is in line with Whitehill's prediction that the biggest bullish indicator that we would see would be to have another significant player like Michael Saylor or El Salvador enter the market.

Martini Guy believes that if you make a wallet accessible on Apple devices, it would bring more people to the industry and trigger a bullish trend.

That isn't to say that they wouldn't change their bullish outlook.

Whitehill said that an event like MicroStrategy getting margin wouldn't change his long-term outlook on the industry. Altman said thatBitcoin dropping below its last cycle top would be an alarming event.

Despite everything that the market might be up against, all panelists agreed that this was the time to be in the market.
