Early crypto evangelist and arguably one of the most influential figures in the space, Jed McCaleb, says we\u2019re still not in a bear market despite continued price decline and investor fatigue. <\/span><\/p>\n

While speaking on a phone interview with Yahoo!

McCaleb seemingly laughed off the mere thought of cryptocurrencies being in a bear market, saying it was \u201cfunny when people say crypto is down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my view, it\u2019s still way way up. It\u2019s down from the peak, but on the whole, it\u2019s way way up. We don\u2019t focus on the price that much, it doesn\u2019t matter to us too much,\u201d McCaleb added.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
