Re: Why wait for the SEC? We are not their puppets on a string.
It is sad that so many people are eagerly waiting for the SEC to pull the strings on the future of Bitcoin, when the future of Bitcoin is not built on governments approval or denial of financial instruments based on Bitcoin. 
We should forget about these government employees that are playing us like puppets and we should cut the strings and build on our own success.
People should just continue to focus on natural growth and development of Killer Bitcoin applications and also improving the technology and distributing more Bitcoin ATM's etc. etc.
We should not place our hopes and dreams on what the SEC wants to decide, but rather what the people wants. These government employees are supposed to serve the people and if they stop doing that, then you should use your vote to get rid of them.
Stand strong, Do not sell to the Fiat masters and Hodl on!

I'm okay with staying strong as most of us probably are, but I can see two main points here that deserve our attention (or maybe not...).
On the one hand, the more Bitcoin becomes officially recognized, the better for its development and coexistence with fiat (i.e. more transparency->more trust->more people involved->more turnover, etc.)
On the other hand, providing Bitcoin gets more under the government pressure and restrictions, the crypto community always has a choice, like going underground, which is fine by me and even sounds more exciting
And going underground could mean higher prices (same as with the rest of the stuff that remains in the shadow)...I might be wrong, of course. Just a thought.
