Bitcoin reached 20k last year without an ETF. All this hype and talk about the ETF is so overblown, cryptocurency doesn't need it , we are backed by the people.
Im about to say this, we survive the past trials without this thing so called ETF. I think bitcoin can still survive because we already made a good run without this. We are really backed by people and of course the technology of bitcoin that make this market different. Wether ETF approved or not, i believe this market will continue to grow.
