I am sad because I am pessimistic about the future development of the market. The reason is simple. You know, the heads of states in all countries have been eyeing the blockchain. On the one hand, they want to get the most out of the blockchain technology. On the other hand, they want to forbid BTC and various altcoin to a great extent The deal.
1 its the underpinning to a new secure internet and blockchain isnt going away.
2 every top brain in tech, finance, and industry is implementing it (walmart, amazon, bank of america, visa, etc)
3 you cannot regulate a decentralized currency, especially when a vendor will give you a product for it without ever needing to convert to fiat.
4 governements may not be able to easily tax the decentralized nature of it, but they can tax all the companies building apps running on the blockchain and thats where the money really is.
5 blockchain can secure criminal history, credit history, birth and social security records, medial records, etc...the US government is already looking into adopting it heavily.
6 the stock market and SEC has allowed futures trading on it, and NASDAQ invest 75MM in Kraken
it aint going away - its the future of everything we know.
