Crypto Twitter has always played a vital role in the entire cryptocurrency community. Things that started on blogs no one knew about have spread like a wildfire all across the internet. Cryptocurrency is everywhere but it’s still some complex alien code for the majority of the people out there. Mass adoption is yet to come. But cryptocurrencies are in existence for a long time now, but very few people knew about it. It was not until the late 2013s when the price of one Bitcoin jumped from 100$ to 1000$ within a time of six months that people started noticing cryptocurrencies.
Before crypto was in the spotlight and the blockchain was unknown, there were a bunch of people who were into this quickly emerging new technology. These people have observed this community ever since it’s conception. They have ample experience and deep insight into the technology as a whole. One of them who’s fairly a newcomer is “Tulips de’ Medici”. He’s one of the best out there with a huge following on Twitter.

TDM: Everybody that has been through the highs and lows of crypto. There is a lot of determination and perseverance needed to stay in this industry. Seeing the flows of success and failure in people inspires me to continue what I’m doing.
BR: What’s your take on a centralized crypto market?
TDM: It’s necessary to have a centralized market. The mass market needs centralize bodies that manage the risks of handling cryptocurrencies. Custodial services within exchanges will keep centralized markets alive.
Decentralized services will continue to grow but will be reserved primarily for the market of individuals that understand crypto well. The mass market will stick to centralized entities. The movement towards decentralized services in the mass market will take longer.
Centralization in the cryptocurrency market is alive and well. We see this will bitcoin’s centralization and dominance over the crypto market. This dominance has allowed crypto to grow significantly faster. Many love to talk about the decentralization meme but fail to realize how essential centralization has been to take the crypto market to where it is now.

TDM: Understand the asset you are trading. Research and fundamental analysis is necessary in giving you an advantage over the market.

BR: Do you think blockchain technology will become something mainstream?
TDM: Blockchain technology will make interactions between and within entities more efficient. This efficiency will increase productivity. The demand for cryptocurrencies will bring money and interest to blockchain technology. Companies will do what they can to integrate it into their system.
BR: Any trading tips for our readers?
TDM: Know what you are getting into. Your money is on the line. Don’t get into a trade if you don’t know what’s happening. Better to stay out and be patient.
