Mark Cuban: Bear market will last until crypto apps are useful

 


Well-known investor Mark Cuban said the market should focus on non-financial applications and benefits to reverse the bear market.


Cuban also does not believe that the market has reached cheap prices yet.


He has previously stated that around 80% of his portfolio was invested in cryptos. On June 23, on a new podcast episode of Bankless, he said the current bear market will continue:


"It's going to be a while before there's a catalyst and that catalyst will be an application or we're so low that people are like, 'Fuck it, I'll buy some'".


He believes that a better focus on applications with a benefit will pull the crypto industry out of its bear market. With so many apps focused on fintech or collectibles, the launch of a business-focused application would be one of those events that could spark such a turnaround.


Cuban cited a decentralized version of Quickbooks, an accounting software for small businesses, as an example. If something like this were introduced, Cuban predicted a rush of users.

Although analysts are predicting that Bitcoin and the rest of the market have bottomed, Cuban believes it's not cheap just yet.


“You look at market caps and you see it's $1 billion plus market cap or $6 billion or $8 billion or $40 billion. They don't look at that and say "that's cheap". If you remember the DeFi summer, these things were selling for less than a penny and their market cap was in the hundreds of millions.”


Cuban added that even with lower-cap cryptocurrencies, there is no benefit like decentralized exchange SushiSwap.


“You get paid for being a liquidity provider, but then who buys it? What is the reason to buy it from one?”


Cuban believes that mergers between different protocols and blockchains will eventually lead to a consolidation of the crypto industry as it happens in every industry.


"I'd rather get together with someone who says let's do a roll up."


Cuban added that he would support merging different blockchains, closing others, and then moving applications and communities to just one and offering one token.


“Now the user base is suddenly 10x, you still have a problem with better applications, you still have to have a reason why people want to use this blockchain, but at least maybe you can come up with better community ideas, because otherwise you're gone .”


As the crypto space has different sub-sectors like Layer 1, Layer 2, NFTs and DeFi tokens, Cuban names his areas where he is bullish.


He said that he is particularly interested in carbon-compensated DeFi tokens, which he burns to offset his own personal carbon footprint. He went on to say that while not everyone is interested in offsetting their carbon emissions, it is the easiest way compared to buying carbon offsets from a broker.


"All have potential, that's why they got all the money, all have a reason why they think they're better and will be successful."

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
