Guys, don't stop believing
Now is the time to buy. It’s a chance to catch the dip. The industry will definitely grow and here are the reasons:
1. Bakkt launch (latest news: January 24th, 2019) - This is a project from the owners of NYSE that offers an open and regulated global ecosystem for digital assets (In simple words, it will become a US-based futures exchange and clearing house). Bakkt should provide a clear path for institutional investors to use when trading crypto. For all current investors, institutional capital is one of the expected raising points.
2.
ETF approved by the SEC - This will boost more institutional investors to the market. The last comments from the SEC were that the ETF will be approved only after they make sure that the market is not being manipulated.
3.
Lightning network adoption - 4,080 nodes this year and that number is rising fast. It will help to solve scaling problems and enable people to use Bitcoin for everyday purchases.
4. Regulated
ICO or STO - This will create a real Investment space for projects that will make “tokens” safer for investors. A lot of infrastructure, such as Disclosures, Liquidity Protocols, P2P-Swap Trading Protocols, Debt Tokens, Decentralized Marketplaces, and Custody will serve to help protect investors.
5. Launch of TON (70% ready) - This will be the first real use of tokens in a project that adds value.
6. Real SWIFT replacement by Ripple (or any other) - One of the main uses of crypto is payments, so if we see a “production” solution then more and more people will start to use that.
7. Ethereum moving to POS - The main use of Ethereum is for ICOs, so will it be helpful to move to POS if ICOs are now finished?
8. Wait for 2020 - That is the year when the amount of newly mined BTC will decrease twofold. However, the use of this currency is expected to become more mainstream, thus increasing its demand and, of course, value.
That is all a load of rubbish and wishful thinking - it does not answer the question posed very well earlier in this thread - who the hell is going to come in with 600 Billion USD to match what has been lost?
Joe, the morons will never address that issue, because they cannot even conceive the issue in their minds, they don't even allow them in their schools to learn how the USA financial system actually works, They all operate on a basis that everyone is dumber than dumb ( 85 IQ ppl assuming everyone else is 66 IQ ).
I think this question is very well understood by the experts.
One has to only study history of large "drawdowns", they take generation to recover.
In 1929 when the stock-market collapsed it took 30 years to recover, in 1982 when GOLD collapsed it took 20 years to recover. They're we're talking about real assets.
With these 'magic-numbers', who in the hell in future generations will come back and feed this bitch?
The other thing is people don't understand 'parabolic rises' that subject is not taught either, in 2017 BTC saw a 2000% or 20x rise, that is un-heard of in history of bubbles, BITCOIN is the first ponzi in human history to go INTERNATIONAL.
Its going to take years just to clear the lawsuits that are coming.
In all honesty we don't even know if all the retards on this site are real people, in all likelihood they're bots, and the humans long ago left the building. Most of the comment posts here are irrational.
In summary, like all serious questions posed here it will not be answered by the MORONS, for the simple matter they don't understand the question, and no matter how they answered it, they would show all they were idiots.
