"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"7484322\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Well, on a personal note, I've managed crypto through three downturns, so this is my fourth experience. In 2018, my portfolio was down 90% and everyone was saying, \u201cSell, sell, sell\u2014you've lost all this money.\u201d I didn't actually lose, because I didn't sell, and when I rebalanced as the next bull run came, I was up 900%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7484323\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I know that wasn't your question, but I think part of the answer is knowing what the market does, just like anyone who's trading in a sophisticated way or investing, and knowing when you should pull and when you should double down. I'd say it's materially changed my life in a positive way, having managed Bitcoin since 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7484324\" data-originallang=\"en\">On the practical application side, one of the most amazing things we see is how it affects drugs and pharmacies in making sure the authenticity of drugs is correct, or in the DoD context: Where is the supply coming from? Are the manufacturers actually delivering the correct parts and goods? If something malfunctions, where are all the other parts that need to be replaced immediately? That has no actual cryptocurrency impact and no consumer application, but it can transform an entire sector in a positive way and save lives.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7484322\" data-originallang=\"en\">Eh bien, sur une note personnelle, j'ai g\u00e9r\u00e9 la cryptomonnaie \u00e0 travers trois ralentissements, c'est donc ma quatri\u00e8me exp\u00e9rience. En 2018, mon portefeuille \u00e9tait en baisse de 90 % et tout le monde disait: \u00ab Vends, vends, vends, tu as perdu tout cet argent. \u00bb En fait, je n'ai rien perdu, car je n'ai pas vendu, et lorsque j'ai r\u00e9\u00e9quilibr\u00e9 au moment de la hausse suivante, j'ai gagn\u00e9 900 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7484323\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je sais que ce n'est pas la question que vous avez pos\u00e9e, mais je pense qu'une partie de la r\u00e9ponse est de conna\u00eetre le comportement du march\u00e9, tout comme n'importe quelle personne qui joue \u00e0 la bourse d'une fa\u00e7on sophistiqu\u00e9e ou qui investit, et de savoir quand vous devez vous retirer et quand vous devez doubler la mise. Je dirais que cela a nettement chang\u00e9 ma vie de mani\u00e8re positive, puisque je g\u00e8re des bitcoins depuis 2011.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7484324\" data-originallang=\"en\"> En ce qui concerne les applications pratiques, l'une des choses les plus \u00e9tonnantes que nous voyons est la fa\u00e7on dont cela affecte les m\u00e9dicaments et les pharmacies en garantissant l'authenticit\u00e9 des m\u00e9dicaments, ou dans le contexte du minist\u00e8re de la D\u00e9fense: d'o\u00f9 vient l'approvisionnement? Les fabricants livrent-ils r\u00e9ellement les bonnes pi\u00e8ces et les bons produits? Si quelque chose d\u00e9raille, o\u00f9 sont toutes les autres pi\u00e8ces qui doivent \u00eatre remplac\u00e9es imm\u00e9diatement? Cela n'a pas d'impact r\u00e9el sur la cryptomonnaie et d'application pour les consommateurs, mais cela peut transformer tout un secteur de mani\u00e8re positive et sauver des vies.</p>"
