The exchange game is a brutal one. None of the #crypto exchanges I "grew up" with are even in the top 10 anymore, few are in the top 25. coinmarketcap.com/rankings/excha…
For example, @bittrex #28, @Poloniex #38 -- never used Bitfinex or that would've been my top 10-er.
As people pointed out in the comments, wash trading has always been a problem in #crypto.

The "Blockchain Transparency Institute" developed a new system "to provide better transparency for the crypto sphere on true exchange volumes." blockchaintransparency.org/reports (h/t @MGilm0re)
Using @BTI___'s methodology, many of the classics make the top 15 again 🙂

1/ Blockchains collapse the cost of digital asset creation, custody & transfer, enabling *programmable value* of all kinds.
2/ Money, while an important application of blockchains, is a subset of the broader programmable value universe.
3/ A money like #bitcoin is likely to be the greatest *single instance* of value capture within the programmable value universe, which is why many of the top #cryptoassets today are battling for this position.

The mainstream has almost entirely forgotten about #bitcoin again.
In conversations with people from home, many recall the #crypto hype from a year ago, but have stopped paying attention since.
Yes, there are a lot more “decisions makers” that have gained a basic understanding of #crypto, which is great.

And the technologists & financial folks that feed off the bleeding edge continue to pay attention, invest, or build, just as happened in 2015.

$ETH has been leading the #crypto market of late, likely in anticipation of the Constantinople upgrade in mid-January which will cut supply issuance by 33%.
2/ When it's showing up as a @binance announcement, it's fair to assume the information is starting to get baked into $ETH's price: support.binance.com/hc/en-us/artic…
3/ Notable that the market's not seeing red at the mere mention of a hard fork, too.

Instead the focus is on the supply-inflation cut + upgrading #Ethereum over time.

Shows me that we have more informed market participants & the daytrippers are long gone.
