As I began to ponder this ‘Rorschach test’ handed to me by the mad scientists in the Lykeion lab, I was quickly reminded that perception is reality in the eye of the beholder and as such it might be useful to consider it in the context of the ‘eye of the beholder’ of the two diametrically opposed groups that currently inhabit the opposing “high-grounds” on all things Crypto.

Is it telling me that Crypto is clearly in a bubble not seen since the days of the great

South Sea Bubble, that led Sir Isaac Newton to temporarily lose his mind and permanently his fortune? Yes – shouts the Boomer crew; it’s all a scam, those damn Millennials and their crazy internet dog money have clearly lost their minds in a mist of speculation and naivete.

Or is it showing me the future and telling me that Crypto and tokenized assets will take off and leave the old ways in the dust? Yes – shouts the Crypto crew; All assets will be tokenized, accounted for on the blockchain, governed seamlessly with smart contracts in one big global decentralized 24/7/365 marketplace in the cloud. Those who does not get it will be left by the wayside, while those who does will ride by on their unicorns and purple Lambos.

As Churchill put it; “Statistics are like a drunk with a lamp post; used more for support than illumination.” Human knowledge tends to take the form of interpretation and the more I squint at this illustration from both sides of the argument the more I lean towards that rare middle ground, asking myself could they both be correct, but over different timeframes?

Alternative investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Past performance is not necessarily indicative nor a guarantee of future results.

Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for long-term investors willing to forego liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. Alternative investments are typically highly illiquid – there is no secondary market for private funds, and there may be restrictions on redemptions or assigning or otherwise transferring investments into private funds. Alternative investment funds often engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss. Alternative investments typically have higher fees and expenses than other investment vehicles, and such fees and expenses will lower returns achieved by investors.

Alternative investment funds are often unregulated, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, and are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. The investment strategies described in the following pages may not be suitable for your specific circumstances; accordingly, you should consult your own tax, legal or other advisors, at both the outset of any transaction and on an ongoing basis, to determine such suitability. No investment should be made without proper consideration of the risks and advice from your tax, accounting, legal or other advisors as you deem appropriate.

No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by TSF or SCFA (or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents, representatives and consultants) as to or in relation to, the accuracy or completeness of information on this web site.
