What You Said in Last Week’s Polls

Here are some great responses from the other polls conducted last week :

How much do you agree with this statement: “When Bitcoin (BTC) makes a sudden price movement, I tweet about it right away.”

– CoinMarketCap Daily Newsletter, 1/30/2020

The average response to the above question was 2.
56.5% of you voted 0, and 7.9% of you voted 10.
Here are some of your “whys” or “why nots”:

• “I DON’T LIKE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHATS GOING ON THAT WAY THE PRICE WILL STAY STEADY BUT IF U SAY TO TOO MANY PRICE WILL GO UP AND THAT’S NOT A GOOD SIGN IN MY OPINION SLOWLY SLOWLY WE CAN MOVE THE PRICE TO 150K BEFORE 2025” – Mannn, I know what you mean but you gotta spread the word! We need everyone for this revolution.
• “I would rather or tweet on news about innovative uses for bitcoin which increase adoption” – Word
• “I will tweet it more once it goes past 16 k thx” – Imma hold you to that
• No, maybe if I’m really happy or need public opinion, like China news last year. I try not to let my portfolio be known publicly via twitter, {In fact, if I can convince them I hold nothing I’ll be happy}. – Yeah, anonymity is really important. Why make yourself an unnecessary target?

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being most likely), how likely do you think it is that Justin Sun managed to convince Warren Buffet about cryptocurrencies during their lunch.

– CoinMarketCap Daily Newsletter, 2/7/2020

The average response to the above question was 4.1.
29.5% of you voted 1, and 13.6% of you voted 10.
Here are some of our favorite responses:

• “Warren is very conservative in his investments. If he doesn’t understand it he doesn’t invest in it. He probably found cryptocurrencies to be interesting but not something that he will invest in. He also probably views them as having no intrinsic value and no cash flow, so again not something he would invest in. He is not a speculator.” – Yeah, he’s already doing so well in his fields. Why change a winning strat, right?
• “Justin Sun has marketing skills, but I doubt he sold Buffet on it, {And I hope I’m wrong, I really do}, But Buffet and Bill Gates good friends, and Bill Gates sees potential on blockchain, so maybe a slim possibility, that being said, I think Buffet will invest in Ripple IPO and IBM for blockchain. However, it crypto and Buffet may already very secretly hold bags and wait for right moment to share news. We remain in early days of crypto and some people will take much longer to come around, (the 50+ y.o. guys who did, are who I find interesting, and want to study), it will take at least one more halving after May before majority of population get in.” – We really are still only at the very early stages of crypto. Can’t wait to see who we will convert in the coming years. 
• “Not a snowball’s chance in hell.” – Hahaha, well who knows? Anything is possible… 
• “Buffet is stubborn, but even old dogs can learn new ticks sometimes.” – I like how you referred to one of the wealthiest men on Earth as a dog 

How much do you agree with this statement: “Tokenized securities will represent the next wave of crypto users.”

– CoinMarketCap Daily Newsletter, 2/5/2020

The average response to the above question was 5.6.
25.9% of you voted 1, and 18.5% of you voted 10.
Here are some of your “whys” or “why nots”:

• “Real world assets that are tokenized will be a very sought out commodity !!” – I agree! It will also open up previously illiquid markets. 
• “as more people see value in crypto it will be able to be used more as securities, I see this being the next wave however we are not there yet.” – Yeah, we are still lightyears away. However, it is important to recognize that we are making progress and that it is picking up some steam!
• “it is inevitable.. its the most secure & convenient form to hold..” – Inevitable… I like that.
