Absolutely, agree 100%.

And I feel bad for those guys, they just don't seem to understand bitcoin at all. The adoption and regulation of it around the world is increasing every week, China halting withdrawals while the U.S. has pro-bitcoin in the White House, India and Venezuela outlawing currencies... the world is turning to bitcoin, blockchain, Fintech in general. If the ETF doesn't pass, it would be very, very surprising.

I personally don't know how you people really think when it comes to saying the U.S. has a pro bitcoin man in the whitehouse, the guy that got appointed was the Budget Directory Milk Mulvaney or something along those lines. He's express that the Blockchain technology is wonderful and that he likes bitcoin, that's not to say in the least that he's going to do anything relating to bitcoin adoption in the U.S.

In the end, Mike is going to be reporting to the President, Donald J Trump, who is going to be following his own agenda and the agenda of the Republican platform. The only way that Bitcoin will be allowed to thrive is with the government not putting regulations on it and allowing it to flow. If they wanted, they could kill bitcoin rather quickly.

Republicans are known to be pro free market capitalism, so I'm not sure what your point is.
