But Anthony Pompliano makes an effort to remind us that the road to an asset becoming valuable is not as easy or quick as many crypto HODLers want it to be. It is all about perseverance and believing in the underlying company (in the case of Amazon) or technology (in the case of cryptocurrencies).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>What do you think about this current bear market?
