I am fairly new to the crypto world. During my short time, I have contemplated how crypto will go down over the next few years.
Slowly, over time more regulations will be adopted worldwide. This is not because regulators are scared that people are getting scammed, but because they will start limiting this world from us small fish so the banks and "qualified" investors can tke over. All the large banks will then push their own crypto, and we will be left with nothing.
In my opinion, it is in our best interest to gain enough profit so we will have the funds to become qualified investors, and be able to re-enter the markets through the banks exchanges.
What does everyone else think? Do you think the big fish will continue allowing us to do trading long term, or are our days numbered?
I think that the big fish(banks,corporations,big crypto whales) will always need small fish like us,so they could increase their profits by manipulating the markets.All the newbies,who invested their small savings into crypto just don`t know how to trade and they just follow the crowd.When the prices crash,they just start panic selling and the "big fish" make big profits.I assume that 1 of every 100 traders/investors,can succeed and become a "qualified investor",like you said.All the other 99 just fail.The market just produces more inequality.
This is true. The big fish couldnt make profit without the small fish. Manipulating the market is useless if you're the only one in the market. And i dont think regulations will point limiting access to small fish. That's the beauty of it, no one could really limit the use and besides, limiting the use of the small fish makes it less useful to the big fish.
