Crypto and Wall Street

Entrance to the 4/5 Wall St subway station, an ad for crypto can be seen in a malfunctioning screen.

I thought this image was very fitting when I captured it, the day before the US election.

The ad for some crypto service, right on the Wall Street station: the new world and the old world.
The broken screen, fading the image, just like crypto: what once was seen (to some, at least) as some sort of "power to people" movement, turned into yet another traditional market trough manipulations and concentration of power and wealth.

Anyway, I post this today, and all markets reacted positively to the election outcome. Including cryptocurrencies. Not surprised.
There's something perverse about how "the markets" always react positively to certain types of candidates...
