I was completely floored when I read that the New York Stock Exchange had invested in Coinbase as part of its recent $75m round of funding to expand overseas:

Secondly, its an indication that they view crypto (well Bitcoin to be honest) as the potential source for future businesses that could find their way onto the stock market.
That is a very bullish move. We could see another bubble forming in a few years time as investors rush to pile money into crypto businesses. That to me is an indicator to buy up a few more crypto assets and put them in a safe or cold storage for 3-5 years.
It's also a way for the NYSE to advertise to crypto businesses that they are open for business and people shouldn't just automatically think they should head for the NASDAQ.
Be in no doubt, the establishment is taking notice. Keep on a steady path, don't lose your nerve and there will be riches for the right projects.
